Heiar, Economic Development Director THE CITY OF DUB E MEMORANDUM Masterpiece on the Mississippi June 20, 2007 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: David J. Heiar, Economic Development Director~~ ~" SUBJECT: Sign for Dubuque Technology Park INTRODUCTION The City does not currently have a sign that identifies the Dubuque Technology Park. The 2008 CIP includes $35,000 for two identification signs; one at each entrance. BACKGROUND The City had previously considered placement of identification signs at the Dubuque Technology Park in 2002. Preliminary design concepts were submitted by Lange Sign Group of Dubuque. Unfortunately, this project became a victim to the State's budget crisis. The State of Iowa substantially cut revenues to local governments, particularly cities. As a result of these cuts, this signage was put on hold. $35,000 of funding for two identification signs is included in the 2007-08 CIP. I have again contacted the Lange Sign Group. The have submitted four sign options for the City's consideration. Variations of two of these options were proposed in 2002. After reviewing the four options with City and GDDC staff, 1 am recommending that the City pursue the option numbered 4. Option 4 utilizes a native limestone base, with differentiating lighting for the lettering which would be on/in the navy blue/chrome finished metals. The proposed design is capped with a chrome arc and globe. The three other options proposed by Lange are also attached to this memo. Once the City confirms the preferred design, Lange will evaluate specific entry locations, prepare cost estimates and prepare the final dimensions/design. It is our desire to have these signs completed and installed prior to the League of Iowa Cities conference in late September. Depending on the cost estimates, we may need to construct one sign this year, and budget another for the following fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION/ACTION STEP For the City Council to approve option 4 as the design style for the Dubuque Technology Park.
