Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to appoint Chris Riley as Chairperson and Debra Musgrove as Vice -Chair of the Public Works Committee. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff and Musgrove. Voting No: None. 5.02: Consider Replacement Options for the Rivers' Bend Park Monument Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood reviewed the case and recommendation of staff for the Committee to provide input and then solicit additional quotes to be forwarded to the City Council for the replacement of the Rivers' Bend monument. Chairperson Riley commented that the entrance sign to the park is important as the parks have to be labeled and easy to find. He stated that they have discussed a coordinated effort to ensure the design could be used in other parks as well. Councilmember Musgrove asked if input is desired on the location of the wording. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that he did not request that as part of the case but agreed that would need to be decided at a later time and would welcome input on that as well. Chairperson Riley asked if staff has a preference on the aluminum versus concrete. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood replied that his only concern with aluminum would be that it could be dented but noted that has not occurred on a similar sign at The Draw. He noted that the vendor commented that they have also not seen the material dented on a sign. He stated that there could be some decay on the cedar posts near the soil line over time. He commented that concrete is durable but some of the cost is the logistics of getting that material to the site and the appropriate footings. Councilmember Musgrove commented that she believes the word placement is a consideration as it would have a factor on the size of the sign. She stated that she favors the aluminum sign with the wood as that would fit better into the neighborhood feeling. She stated that she would favor stacking of the words and logo in order to keep the sign size small. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood commented that he agrees with the stacked style. Public Works Committee / February 15, 2022 Page 2 of 5
