SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The commission is being asked to consider expenditures related to the fabrication of a map and directional sign system for Sunfish Lake Park.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
City staff has received several reports of park users getting lost in Sunfish Lake Park. The current wood map at the park is in poor condition, out of date, and not accurate. There
are no maps or directional signs available to assist with orientation along the trails.
Staff will be presenting a revised Sunfish Lake Park trail map, plans for a map / directional sign system, and associated costs. In addition, staff will report on progress to date in
developing a comprehensive sign program for the city’s parks. The program will include park entrance signs, interpretive and regulatory signage, and information kiosks. The goal is
for these amenities to share some of the design elements utilized in the picnic shelter design so that a consistent and unifying look is established that serves to identify the city’s
park system.
The commission is being asked for comments and suggestions regarding the proposed system and is also being asked to authorize expenditures related to the fabrication of a map and directional
sign system. Approval of this expenditure is being placed on the November 18 council meeting so that the signs can be put in place for the coming cross-country ski season. The expenditure
will come from the Park CIP fund.
ACTION Motion: Move to approve the expenditure of $xxx for the fabrication of a map and directional sign system for Sunfish Lake Park.
