Discussion on Streetscape Signs Director Moore informed the Authority that Administration was moving forward with bidding out the signage package in April. The Authority was presented with two sets of signage plans in their packet. The first set of plans show the additional Streetscape signs that have been developed Page 2|4 TIFA: 03/27/2019  APPROVED 04/24/2019 with the Streetscape Committee. Administration worked with the architect firm (OCBA) that created the original signage bid documents for the blue city limit, park and City facility signs currently used. For the Beebe Park Directional Sign, two options were presented to add Baily Park and Historic Village to the sign. Administration told OCBA to go with Option 1 in the final version. This option has a larger font size. The first set of plans also included the signs developed for display of the City’s Civic Organizations and where these signs would be located. The Authority was in favor of these signs and agreed with selection Option 1 for the Park Direction Sign. The second set of signs are for identifying the state championships. The Authority needed to determine if they wanted to go with the all in one version listing the team championships or if they wanted the individual slats for each team. Also the Authority needed to determine if we would limit the signs to the MHSAA State Championship Teams. The Authority was in favor of going with the individual slats for each Championship Team. The Authority also discussed removing the MHSAA designation, so that all High School recognized teams that won a State Championship could be listed. Motion by Reindel, seconded by Yelencich, to approve the Streetscape Signage for bid and change the Sports Team Signs as discussed and present to Council for their review and approval.
