SUMMARY: In 2010 the MPWMD replaced its logo with a new, three-color design. The District’s exterior building sign must be removed and replaced with the current logo design. The committee reviewed options for signage at the April 17, 2013 committee meeting. Attached as Exhibit 3-A, is the design and location for replacement signage recommended by staff.
The estimated cost for permitting and signage is $4,705.31 (see Exhibit 3-B.) The Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget includes $2,700 for the new sign. Since time will be needed to obtain permits, manufacture sign components and for installation, signage will not be completed in the current fiscal year. It is likely that the Fiscal Year 2013-2014 budget will need to be adjusted at mid-year to cover the cost of this expenditure.
RECOMMENDATION: The committee should review signage options and recommend that the Board of Directors approve funding for production and installation of the committee’s preferred design concept.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The contractor, Monterey Signs, will handle the permitting process at a cost of $50 per hour. The preliminary estimate for this process is $1,539, which includes $940 to proceed through the Architectural Review Committee process. If the City of Monterey determines that the proposed design is significantly different from the existing sign, the permitting costs could increase as the application moves through the city’s Architectural Review Committee for approval. Alternatively, the application could be processed administratively, and the cost would be around $600.
When the existing building sign is removed, it may be necessary to paint the exterior wall as the color of the wall beneath the sign will likely be darker than the areas around it. The cost to paint the wall is not known at this time.
