Historic District Commission backs simple design for city’s 250th signs
Summary
The commission recommended Option 4 — a simple black‑and‑white sign with the city emblem and a scroll — as its preferred 250th anniversary sign and asked staff to pass the recommendation to the city for production and budgeting.
The Historic District Commission recommended a simple black‑and‑white design for Westminster’s national 250th anniversary signs, choosing “Option 4” as the commission’s preference and leaving final procurement and payment details to the City.
Commissioners reviewed four variations, discussed legibility for drivers and pedestrians, and agreed the simplest layout with a scrolled band and visible city emblem would read best at driving speeds. Commissioners expressed a shared preference that the emblem and any additional medallion be sized so it remains identifiable from the road; staff said the city will finalize proportions and pricing.
A motion to support Option 4 was made and seconded; the commission voted in favor. The commission’s action is a recommendation to the city, not an authorization of spending. Staff will forward the commission’s preferred design to procurement and the appropriate city departments to manage production, finalize costs, and identify funding.
Ending: The commission’s recommendation of Option 4 will be transmitted to city procurement and finance for implementation and budgeting consideration.
