Family to donate memorial sign for Griggs Park playset; staff recommends placement
Summary
The Akre family requested a 30x30 memorial sign near the Griggs Park playset honoring former parks superintendent Dave Akre; staff recommended approval and said the sign would be installed at no cost to the city and timed to coordinate with the playground installation.
City staff reported a request from the Akre family to place a memorial sign near the Griggs Park playset honoring former parks and recreation superintendent Dave Akre, and staff recommended the council approve the sign placement.
Mr. King said the proposed 30-by-30-inch sign on a 60-inch post would be installed where it would not interfere with park activities, that the family would cover design and installation costs, and that the playset is on site with installation planned in about two weeks. Staff noted a concrete border donation and other cost savings that reduced the project's expense.
Council did not register objections during the work session; staff recommended bringing the sign placement forward for approval at the next council meeting so installation could occur before the playground equipment is set in place.
