Council leans toward design 5 for 1792 street banners; staff to return with pricing
Summary
Council provided direction to use the staff‑preferred banner (design 5) for Highway 1792, asked staff to test contrast and consider a discreet Clayton mascot inclusion, and requested a follow‑up with printing costs and quantities.
City communications staff presented seven banner concepts for Highway 1792 and council members signaled a preference for Staff's top choice, design 5, while requesting refinements and cost estimates before final approval.
Communications Manager Casey Hewitt said staff surveyed city employees and prepared multiple banner sets that highlight recreation and the city's natural assets. "The favorite of city hall staff was this blue silhouette 1," Hewitt said, adding she would increase color contrast if necessary for visibility. Council comments favored design 5 for visibility along 1792; some members preferred darker backgrounds to stand out against the sky and asked staff to avoid making the banner too wordy.
Council member Sell asked that the city's mascot Clayton be subtly included on at least one banner; several members supported a small or hidden Clayton figure. Vice Mayor Butland asked about material and fade resistance; staff said the existing anniversary banners are printed on Tyvek with fade‑resistant inks and have held up. The council did not take a formal vote but consensus favored design 5 and directed staff to return with a procurement proposal showing pricing, quantities and final artwork options, including a variant with a discreet Clayton element and an option that reads "Welcome to DeBary."
