RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that City Council accept the $1,200 donation from Partners for Parks in support of Wayfinding Signage.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
Non-profit Partners for Parks received a $1,200 donation from Kathie and Steve Shandera to purchase Wayfinding signage for the trail system. In 2020, a Wayfinding Signage Plan for the trail and bikeway systems was adopted. All new projects incorporate Wayfinding Signage from this plan. However, existing trails and bikeways lack Wayfinding Signage and currently no funding exists to implement it. Mr. Shandera has been a vocal advocate of starting a donation program for wayfinding signage and as a result, he and Ms. Shandera donated funds to implement a few signs. Staff will design signs according to the adopted Wayfinding Signage Plan. Signage is expected to be implemented starting at Swords Park, and then moving east towards Alkali Creek and finally down the Jim Dutcher Trail. $1,200 is expected to pay for approximately two signs, although current prices depend on market conditions, the exact type of sign, and whether the signs are purchased in bulk.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve; or,
- Not Approve
FISCAL EFFECTS
If approved, this will provide an additional $1,200 to implement Wayfinding Signage. There will be minimal maintenance costs to maintain the signage and any expenses will be covered in PRPL's existing FY25 budget.
