Commission to study King Harbor sign changes; council directed image to museum, commission seeks plan
Summary
Following a council vote to update the King Harbor sign, commissioners asked staff for timeline, storage and museum placement options for the removed center image and referred a proposal for a commemorative marker to their preservation/history subcommittee.
Commissioners discussed a recent City Council decision to update the King Harbor entry sign, which will remove the sign’s center image and replace it with the approved city logo and new lettering. Commissioner Galassi reported public pushback and asked the commission to consider how the removed central image might be preserved and interpreted.
Sanctioned council direction included saving the center image with a recommendation that it be placed in the museum. Commissioners asked staff to coordinate with Public Works and the museum to determine where and when removal would occur, where the image would be stored and what options exist for display or a commemorative treatment. The commission voted to agendize the topic for a future meeting and referred development of a commemorative proposal to the 'bringing history to the community' subcommittee.
Staff said they would report back with dimensions, timeline and which departments are responsible for storage and installation. The commission did not make a formal recommendation to council tonight beyond directing staff to compile options and further information.
