PULIDO, CITY MANAGE BY: CATHY BURROUGHS, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION O SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FINAL DESIGN FOR WALTER P. TEMPLE BUST AND MONUMENT SIGN AT TEMPLE CITY PARK SUMMARY The City Council is requested to review three re -design options for the monument sign at Temple City Park and select one of the revised designs. These designs incorporate the bronze bust of Walter P. Temple into the monument sign which will be located at the southeast corner of Temple City Park. BACKGROUND 1. On July 20, 2010, the City Council reviewed several options from Hirsch and Associates (HAI) and Robert Hepler for design of a monument sign that would incorporate the bust of Walter P. Temple into the sign which is to be located at the southeast corner of the park. The City Council selected design Option "B" by HAI and requested that the architect provide additional options based on discussions at the meeting. 2. On August 3, 2010, HAI provided staff with three alternatives for design Option "B", incorporating the changes suggested by the City Council. Attached to this staff report are copies of the original Option "B" approved by the Council, as well as the three alternatives submitted by HAI (designated Option B-1, B-2, and B-3). Copies of the three revised designs were provided to Robert Hepler. 3. On August 17, 2010, Mr. Hepler provided staff with additional recommendations. Both the architect and staff reviewed Mr. Hepler's recommendations. Staff has two concerns in regards to his recommendations. First, Mr. Hepler recommends the bust of Walter P. Temple be placed on a freestanding pedestal. Staff recommends the bust be incorporated into the monument sign as shown in HAI's designs and not placed on a freestanding pedestal in front of the sign. This is consistent with the original direction from the City Council. Second, Mr. Hepler suggests the donor and dedication plaques for the Walter P. Temple bust be located on the end columns of the monument sign. Staff recommends the donor and dedication plaques be located as close to the bust as possible. Installing them on the end columns could cause confusion as to what donors had contributed to and what was being dedicated. Parks & Recreation Commission September 21, 2010 Page 12 Attached to this staff report are renderings of the redesigns of Option B provided by HAI. For simplicity sake, they are identified as Option B-1, B-2, and B-3. Also attached are the recommendations from Robert Hepler. The City Council is requested to: 1. Review the redesigns of the monument sign for Temple City Park provided by HAI and select one option for the final design; or 2. Direct HAI to incorporate some, or all, of Mr. Hepler's recommendations into a final design. Once the design is finalized, the architect will complete the conceptual layout and begin construction documents. Staff expects to solicit construction bids in November with construction beginning in January 2011. For general information, staff has attached a copy of the proposed designs for the Live Oak Park monument sign as well as photographs of the City's monument signs located at the Chamber of Commerce and the various parking districts. The original intent of this project was to construct monument signs at the City's two parks that were similar to those constructed at other City locations. FISCAL IMPACT The Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-10 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program included $30,000 in Park Acquisition funds for renovations to the circular planter at Live Oak Park, including a new monument sign. An additional $10,000 was appropriated in the FY 2010-11 CIP budget. Architectural fees (for design, bidding and construction administration) are estimated at $13,320 leaving a balance of $26,680 available for construction of both the Live Oak Park and Temple City Park monument signs and planter renovations. At this time, the architect's preliminary cost estimate for the Live Oak Park sign and planter renovations is $8,500; the estimate for Temple City Park is approximately $17,300 for a total of $25,800.

Possibly raise the sign 6" to 12" to allow for planting flowers. Add Architectural trim molding around recessed backdrop. Possible arched backdrop. Add tile in recessed backdrop for a contrast behind bronze sculpture. Raise end columns above sign wall, and add caps. Add wall caps on new wall. Place bronze plaques on end columns. (Donner plaque & City seal) Free standing bronze pedestal. (Match pedestals used at Pasadena City College) Surface mount lettering for easy visibility.
