Council green-lights quick trial of "Basecamp" branding at Cedar Park skate facility ahead of event
Summary
Councilors approved staff pursuing short-term branding (stenciled/painted logos, banners or coping markings) at the Cedar Park skate facility to make the site visible in photos and video for an upcoming event; staff said the work is low-cost and can be removed if unsuitable.
The council discussed and endorsed trial branding at the Cedar Park skate facility (the city's Basecamp concept) to promote an upcoming skate event in roughly two to three weeks. Councilors and staff focused on placement (coping/tombstones, vendor loop, and banners), appearance and durability, and whether the logo should include "Sandy, Oregon."
One councilor emphasized the marketing value: "There's gonna be photographers all over the place. There's gonna be videos all over the place. And you use... those tombstones are the thing those features that stick out above everything else. If you brand those tombstones, those are gonna be in every single shot," the councilor said. Staff said it could be done within existing budget and suggested using removable stencil paint as a trial that could be pressure-washed off if needed.
Councilors weighed faster options (banners, stencil) versus longer-term treatments and directed staff to proceed promptly so branding can be in place for the event; they also asked staff to coordinate signage and potential transit/shuttle support for attendees.
