The roll call vote was taken aa follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Brozosky, and Campbell <br />HOES: Councilmember Hosterman <br />ABSENT: Mayor Pico <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 4c <br />Aoorove Diana and sDecifications; review of bids and award of contract for Civic <br />Center Sionafle, Proiect No. 988029. (SR 04:179) <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky believed spending $94,945.60 for signage for the Civic Center is <br />excessive, and he could not accept this proposal. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala invited public comment and there were no speakers on this item. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala concurred with Mr. Brozosky's comments. There are plans in process for <br />a new Civic Center and she did not want to spend that much at this time for signage. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell asked for a brief staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan indicated the purpose of the project was to make it easier for people <br />to find offices on the property. The current signage is confusing for those who visit the Civic <br />Center for the first time. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky did not object to the signage proposal, but rather to the cost. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bocian indicated that one of the staff recommendations was to remove one of the <br />monument signs and place a monument sign in front of 123 Main Street. That is an $11,000 <br />sign and could be deleted from the project. Another recommendation was to have two <br />campus (you are here) signs ($10,700) and those could be removed to save expenses. The <br />sign program could still work without those two elements. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala referred to the City sign department as a means of saving money. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bocian explained that the City sign department couldn't fabricate signs like the <br />ones proposed. These are larger aluminum signs and some are illuminated. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell expressed confidence in staff and did not mind spending the proposed <br />amount if it would help the people who use the facilities. He wanted the Civic Center as <br />user friendly as possible. The campus idea will be here for a long time. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky referred to the electrical work and asked why it was so high? <br /> <br /> Mr. Bocian said that is because of the two signs that are illuminated. There are <br />some costs with regard to the electronics within the signs as well as the conduit to get <br />electricity to the signs. Staff can review the proposal and make reductions before returning <br />the plan to Council. This is a good sign program and the consultant feels the property is <br />undersigned. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala asked staff to come back with a less costly program. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 8 09/21/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
