MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL -
AGENDA REPORT
BY:_ --
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Kim C. Chudoba, Senior Management Analyst % (i
DATE: July 10, 2006 (CC Meeting of 7/19/06)
SUBJECT: Consider Revised Design and Specifications for Electronic
Marquees
BACKGROUND
In February 2006, Council approved the design and specifications for two electronic
marquees at College View and Glenwood parks, and authorized staff to solicit bids.
These 10- foot -long, 12- inch -wide, and 72- inch -high electronic signs will replace existing
Plexiglas signs to promote City programs.
DISCUSSION
Staff conferred with a sign vendor to address Council concerns about location and
readability. Based on further use and maintenance data, staff proposes minor revisions.
Single -sided marquees are recommended for (1) the northwest corner of College View
Park near the intersection of Campus Park Drive and Collins Drive and (2) the west end
of Glenwood Park oriented perpendicular to Tierra Rejada Road. A sign consultant will
help the City determine the optimal site placement.
Council approved a hollow monument sign (two cabinets with steel tubing, covered with
aluminum sheeting, fastened together, texture coated, and bolted to a concrete base set
below ground) with internal lighting. This design requires a less durable,
high- maintenance lexan face. Instead, staff proposes a more durable, low- maintenance
solid monument sign (a texture- coated aluminum cabinet on a concrete standup sign
with the City name and logo recessed in the base) with external lighting. This more
readable display will be changed by remote dial -up connection, with battery back -up in
the event of a power loss. Battery back -up will cost about $2,000. The revised design
and specifications are attached.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve revised design and specifications for electronic marquees.
