MINUTES PARKS & REC COMMISSION MARCH 4, 2021 5 there are multiple accesses to the park. He stated that the sign company would not recommend adding the address to avoid confusion. He acknowledged that color is more of a preference but noted that the sign company stated that the green color has been more popular for city parks. He stated that the Commission does not have to choose color today. Commissioner Chu commented that a green sign will blend into the park in the spring and in the evening hours a thought lighter-colored sign would be much easier to see. Commissioner Horwath stated that he would disagree. He stated that he is not concerned with the background of the sign being visible, but the lettering. He stated that he would defer to the more traditional shape if Commissioner Chu would defer to the darker colored sign. Commissioner Chu asked if there is a cost difference between the shapes. The Community Services Manager replied that the shapes are the same size. Commissioner Ray commented that he prefers the older shape, the tan color, capital letters, and the red logo. Commissioner Hipp asked the size of the sign and which would be most visible. The Community Services Manager replied that the signs would be six feet long by four feet wide, which would be wider than the existing signs. Commissioner Hipp commented that she would prefer option three with the larger lettering but would prefer the traditional shape with the green background and red. The Community Services Manager acknowledged that the Commission members have different preferences but there is consensus that new park signs are wanted. Commissioner Ray commented that the materials will be an excellent choice and will have longer durability. Chair Miller commented that it seems that the majority prefer the traditional sign style. Commissioner Horwath asked if a color or style has to be recommended, or whether the sign replacement could be recommended, and the color and style choices are left to the Council. Commissioner Chu commented that green on green is a boring choice. Commissioner Horwath disagreed as he believed that green is more of a traditional park color. He believed that the tan choice was more boring.
