Council considers logo on Richfield Station tower; leans to single logo facing state highway
Summary
Council reviewed vendor proposals and grant funds to add a logo to the recently painted Richfield Station water tower and expressed preference for a single logo oriented toward the state highway bridge.
Councilmembers discussed adding a logo to the Richfield Station water tower and asked staff for a visual mock-up and final pricing before a decision.
Public Works staff Jay explained the town received a reimbursable grant to paint the tower and that the contractor who won the logo portion of the original work defaulted; the town withheld payment for the logo. Jay presented four location/orientation options and said the vendor’s pricing is still within about a 10% increase of the 2024 quote. He said the work can be done with minimal outage — roughly two days to drain the tower and paint the logo — and that the tower is newly painted and ready for a decal or painted logo.
Nut graf: Councilmembers said they preferred a single logo facing the state highway bridge (the scenic point) rather than a logo that would face into neighborhood areas. One resident who lives near the tower objected to a logo facing the community.
Resident input: A councilmember who lives near the tower said she could see the structure from her house and would not want a logo facing into the community. Staff noted the funds for the logo were encumbered and reimbursable; councilmembers asked staff to provide the visual mock-up and final pricing so the item could be placed on a future agenda.
Ending: Staff will circulate a scaled visual of the proposed logo on the tower and the updated cost estimate for council review before a future vote.
