Montrose workshop reviews plan for 23 new street banner poles and seasonal banners
Summary
City staff told the council that specifications call for 23 new poles arriving this summer and asked for direction on banner designs, materials and timing; staff will return with design and procurement options and recommended extras to order.
At the Montrose City Council workshop, a staff member presented plans for new street banner poles and asked the council for direction on banner designs and materials. "According to the spec I saw, there's gonna be 23 poles," the staff member said when introducing the plans, and asked whether the council preferred seasonal banners, welcome banners or holiday designs.
Staff discussed material and hardware options and gave rough price ranges: canvas banners were estimated in discussion at about $100 to $400 apiece, while metal banner hardware was described in the meeting as substantially more expensive (the transcript recorded this as "6 to $900"). The staff member said they would prepare visual samples and procurement quotes and bring options to a council meeting, noting urgency if members want banners installed this year: "We're gonna have to order them sooner if you even want them out this year," the staff member said. Councilors asked that staff include replacement extras in any order and provide clear cost estimates for both canvas banners and more durable hardware.
