LCity,f <br />Louisville <br />Parks & Recreation <br />Memorandum <br />To: Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board <br />From: Dean Johnson, Parks Superintendent <br />Date: 11/28/2018 <br />Subject: Continued Discussion on Park Naming and Park Signage Project <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this agenda item is to continue the discussion on the Park Signage Project. <br />Background: <br />During the November PPLAB meeting, the Board was reintroduced to the park sign program. As <br />discussed, the intent of this program will be to sign all of the park sites. These small park signs <br />will include the park name and park rules. <br />For some of the sites, formal names have not been adopted. PPLAB has the opportunity to <br />advise and guide the City on selecting names for these sites. In advising, PPLAB could make a <br />direct name recommendation to Council, or recommend increased community outreach for <br />selecting a park name, or a combination. For example, the Open Space Advisory Board <br />recommend a name change for Coyote Run Open Space (previously call Tamarisk) which was <br />adopted by Council, so there is precedent for this course of action. Or, PPLAB could <br />recommend a larger community process for input, with outreach taking place at the subdivision <br />where the park resides or an even a larger approach, outreach conducted City-wide. An <br />example of what this type of process could look like would be a naming contest. <br />During the December meeting, PPLAB will also be discussing site location placement. Knowing <br />sign locations will assist staff in confirming the quantities for order. <br />Next Steps: <br />Discussion is planned to continue in upcoming meetings as needed for finalizing feedback on <br />park names or implementing a community naming process. <br />Also to occur in an upcoming meeting, will be a discussion on the current sign design in <br />comparison to related property signs. Consistency between public property sign designs will be <br />discussed and evaluated. <br />11 <br />
