ROLL CALL Present- Wisniewski, Hakkinen, Jackson, McComsey, Selby, Sheldon Sparks Also Present- Kayo McGillivray, Parks & Rec Director and Secretary Loper 2. NEW BUSINESS a.. Review and Recommendation on Welcome to Kenai Si~n There was one person submitting a proposal, Signs by Stephan. Mr. Stephan submitted three designs with specs and prices for each sign. The Committee reviewed each sign design. Councilwoman Swarner noted that the Committee would have the option of rejecting all design if it felt that none of the three, designs submitted would be suitable. The Committee felt that all three of' the designs would be targets for vandalism, particularly the one with removable letters. Two of the designs were far too busy, and one of the designs would sit too close to the ground for all the lettering to be seen. The Committee rejected the'three designs. The Committee next discussed the location of the signs. It was the consensus of the Committee that, it appeared that Council's intent was to place the new sign at the present location and move the'present sign to a location on or near Kalifonsky Beach Road. The Committee also discussed the advantages to placing the sign on the high point of the intersection of Bridge Access Road and Kalifonsky Beach Road. The Committee also agreed that the average tourist would have a problem locating Kenai in that it is not well marked from any incoming roadway. Councilwoman Swarner was asked to point this out at the Wednesday Council meeting. Councilwoman Bailie suggested using the designs submitted for the logo contest, the Committee agreed. The six final designs from the logo contest were reviewed and colors were discussed, selecting #6 for the sign. MOTION- Committee Member Jackson moved to reject the proposals submitted by Mr. Stephan, seconded by Committee Member McComsey BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE July 5, 1988 Page 2 VOTE: Motion passed unanimously MOTION: Committee Member Jackson moved to accept plan #6 of the logo entries for the sign design, seconded by Committee Member Sparks. The Committee further discussed colors, suggesting perhaps some color in the old sign as well as colors for the new sign and the upkeep involved. MOTION: Committee Member McComse¥ moved to accept plan #6 without the colors. MOTION dies for lack of second After further discussion, the Committee agreed that the procedure should be to go out for bids for the sign and let the successful bidder tell us whether it would be feasible to go to colors. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously The Committee agreed that the idea pertaining to the service organizations being placed on the sign would not be necessary. 3. COMMITTEE QUESTIONS & COMMENTS Councilwoman Bailie informed the Committee that Council had discussed using the logo designs for banners and the Committee agreed that this would be a good idea. As no additional money was budgeted for any extras such as banners, this would need to be money appropriated. The Committee will take this up at the next meeting. Councilwoman Bailie noted that the banners are slipping and again, the brackets need to be discussed. Councilwoman Bailie suggested extra canvas and grommets on the banners themselves. Councilwoman Bailie had some ideas for brackets and discussed them with the Committee and will approach public works. 4. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3' 10 P.M. The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 12, 1988 at 1: 30 P.M. in the Council Chambers.
