TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br />2.01: Discuss Strategic Direction for Community Sign and Streetscape Plan <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he likes the stone as it would continue the theme from the <br />building and existing COR signage. He asked the lifespan of the stone, stating that perhaps that <br />material has a longer lifespan than other materials. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill provided comparisons, noting that The COR sign <br />along Highway 10 is not real stone and provided additional details. He stated that there are <br />durable materials, that are not stone, that could last several decades. He stated that if the Council <br />wants to use true stone, staff can also obtain a cost for that option. <br />Councilmember Riley referenced The COR sign which has stacked stone at the bottom of the <br />pillars and noted that perhaps that would be a way to tie in that stone theme without the high <br />cost. <br />City Council Work Session / February 12, 2018 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
