Summary

Eagle Scout candidate Bennett Sawyer presented designs and cost estimates for discs-golf signage and a trailhead kiosk at Colony Park; council and staff indicated support and said the preferred design appears within the existing budget.

Bennett Sawyer, an Eagle Scout candidate with Troop 5087, presented a proposed project to add 18 paired tee signs and a trailhead kiosk at the Colony Park disc-golf course.

Sawyer outlined three kiosk design options: a simple, familiar design estimated at about $300; a larger, ornate option at about $2,500 for materials/assembly; and a mid-range design that he and staff preferred, estimated at roughly $450 that would match the aesthetic of a recently installed fence. He said the 36 tee signs (white and red) with distances and maps would total about $1,500 for delivery and installation.

Council members praised the project and suggested option 3 if it fits city property design standards; staff indicated the costs should fall within the budget already allocated to the project. The presentation concluded with general council encouragement and a vote of confidence in the candidate's plans.
