Summary

The board approved purchasing three small removable donor plates (4x6 option at $80 each) to identify BID-sponsored plantings and hanging baskets downtown and asked staff to coordinate final wording with two volunteers.

Staff presented two plaque options for donor identification—an economical aluminum plate (about $80 each) and a more elaborate bronze-style plate (about $276 each)—and recommended a small set of stake-mounted signs that can be removed for seasonal change-outs. The proposal called for three signs located at high-foot-traffic planters; staff emphasized the plaques would acknowledge BID sponsorship, not individual donations.

After discussing visibility and durability, the Chair moved to purchase three of the 4x6 plates at approximately $80 each; the motion was seconded and carried. Staff will draft proposed wording and run it by two board volunteers before production.
