The new signs were in <br /> the master design that we did several years ago. I wanted to get them installed for the Centennial year as a gift to <br /> the park, but we have not been able to get it all together. <br /> We got the project started, but are short of funding to complete it. The plan is for signs at all three entrances, with <br /> stone columns at the Summit Ave. main entrance and wood posts at the other two. The stone columns will match <br /> those at the shelter and Moon Terrace. Robin has renderings of the designs. <br /> Now that we have a better idea about total cost, we need to raise more funds than I expected. The carved wood <br /> signs cost $6,500, posts and installation $1,500 to $2,500, and stone work $5,000. This adds up to $13,000 to <br /> $14,000. <br /> This is a project that we would like to do on a cost sharing basis with POS. We have already purchased the wood <br /> signs. I supplied $5000 and FoHP donated $1500. My proposal is that POS pay for the stone work. I will cover <br /> the cost of posts and installation via donation to FoHP. POS will need to supply some labor for the project. Robin <br /> has said the city has a truck with large auger that can drill holes, park staff will need to do traffic control, etc. <br /> I hope you will see the value in this project and share the cost with us so we can make the entrances to the city's <br /> first park more attractive and inviting. <br /> I have invited Fred Austin to attend the Thursday meeting, as he is FoHP's money person. <br /> Jerry <br /> 11/30/2006 <br />
