Parks board approves Lakeview Golf Course entrance sign after design review
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Board approved a composite entrance sign design for Lakeview Golf Course, selecting option 1 and reserving $20,000 budgeted funds for the project; installation and landscaping details remain to be finalized.
The Parks and Recreation Board approved a design for a new Lakeview Golf Course entrance sign during its regular meeting, selecting option 1 from multiple designs presented by staff.
Board members voted to approve the smaller composite sign option after staff described the design process, city branding constraints and cost options. Staff said the city has budgeted $20,000 for the sign and that the vendor quoted $19,081 if the board’s crew installs the posts; the vendor’s full installation would likely increase the price but would shift responsibility for site prep and post installation to the contractor.
Board members discussed materials and durability, and staff said the chosen option is a composite (foam with a hard outer shell) fabricated off-site to look like stone with a wood-grain top beam. Staff estimated 10–12 weeks for fabrication and said the vendor offers patching/repairs if damage occurs. The board also discussed lighting options and asked staff to consider solar lighting to avoid extending electrical service to the site.
The project’s site was described as the median near the clubhouse and utility pedestal; staff said they will coordinate trimming or removal of a nearby ash tree with the neighbor, and that some site-prep costs (landscaping, concrete pad) may be additional. Staff recommended vendor-installed posts and site prep to ensure warranty coverage; board members agreed that full installation by the vendor was preferable if it could be kept within the $20,000 budget. One board member noted that the pedestal and utility features near the planned location will influence final placement and landscaping decisions.
The board made a motion and voted in favor of option 1. Board members said if approved, staff expected to place the order within the week and anticipated installation about 10–12 weeks later, with a likely July installation window if schedules hold.
Members asked staff to return with final cost details for installation and landscaping if those would exceed the $20,000 budgeted amount. Staff said vendors could provide options for lighting (solar vs. electric) and that they favor solar for low ongoing cost.
