Committee selects granite plaque option, directs staff to produce proofs for centennial time capsule
Summary
Members agreed on a granite plaque design for the Centennial time capsule marker and directed staff to obtain proofs and vendor pricing; the size discussed matches the existing plaque and was estimated at about $116 for that size.
The committee reviewed options for a new time capsule plaque and directed staff to move forward with a granite plaque proof for the Centennial time capsule.
Member Sal Perry presented a granite sample and said the size under consideration is similar to the existing plaque and that the vendor quoted about $116 for that size. Committee members discussed mounting options — either flush-mounted in the ground (as the current plaque is) or mounted on a stand — and expressed a preference for a flush mount to withstand weather and storms. Members also asked staff to obtain a proof showing the Centennial logo and proposed lettering, and to offer a few granite color options so the wording remains legible.
Why it matters: The plaque will mark the Centennial time capsule and is intended to be durable and legible for decades. Committee members asked staff to obtain proofs and vendor lead times so the plaque can be ordered and installed well ahead of the capsule closing date.
Next steps: Staff will request proofs from vendors, including color and layout options, and circulate proofs to the committee for final approval. Members noted the purchase will likely take several weeks for production and delivery.
