Commission weighs paying $31,000 for Johns Pass directory shells; businesses to pay face panels
Summary
Staff said the city could buy directory shells for Johns Pass (three double-sided, two single-sided) at roughly $31,000 excluding artwork; businesses would pay for the panels that display their names. Commissioners asked staff to circulate drawings and vendor quotes to merchants ahead of the next meeting.
Staff presented a Johns Pass Village directory and wayfinding plan that includes buying sign shells for multiple locations and offering businesses a paid face panel for inclusion. Presenter Megan Powers said the city's cost would be for the directory shell and that artwork and business faces would be paid by merchants; she estimated the shell purchase at about $31,000 before artwork.
Commissioners raised concerns about pole-mounted signs versus freestanding directories and urged staff to share design options with merchants. Staff recommended a replaceable panel system and periodic updates (annual or biennial) to avoid high recurring costs when businesses change.
