MINUTES PARKS & REC COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 2 trails map and park map, while the smaller parks would just include the parks and trails system map. Commissioner Delong Miller commented that the icons do not seem to serve a purpose as she believed those would be included on the map and legend. Commissioner Willams commented that she would have preferred to have details on the purpose of the QR code and what information would be gained by following the QR code.

She explained that the Commission was never informed of the timing for this process and did not see the proposed concept for Pioneer until receiving the packet for this meeting. Commissioner Schletty suggested that the updated concept be sent out to the Commission prior to the meeting so that feedback and comments can be provided, and the final draft could be presented at the meeting. He asked if this was the only concept designed. The Parks and Recreation Director commented that this was the only concept as this sign needs to be installed in order to receive the final grant fund payout. He stated that this next month
