Commission reviews plan to install bronze heritage plaques ahead of Arbor Day
Summary
The commission heard staff plans to prototype four bronze plaques (three boulder-mounted, one wall-mounted) fabricated in Sonoma fieldstone with a 4–6 week lead time and discussed volunteer help to select installation sites ahead of Arbor Day.
Staff said the commission will install an initial run of four bronze plaques — three mounted on boulders and one on a wall — with prototypes targeted for display by Arbor Day. "My goal is to have these in place, have at least 4 in place for Arbor Day," the staff presenter said, and described a fabrication timeline of roughly 4–6 weeks for the bronze pieces.
Commissioners discussed siting options (park settings, parking strips, walls) and volunteered to help locate appropriate stones and placements; staff asked for commissioner assistance in reviewing scientific names for accuracy prior to finalizing the plaques. The item concluded with staff saying they will bring prototypes to the group and seek volunteer support for placement decisions.
