ITEM EXPLANATION: The Historic Preservation Commission is interested in placing an interpretive sign or plaque in the new Hosp Grove Park currently being developed. The purpose of the sign/plaque would be to explain the historical significance of Hosp Grove. Precise design and location of the sign/plaque is yet to be determined, however it will most likely be a maximum of 2 feet by 3 feet in size and will probably be located at the east end of the parking lot where people will enter the park. The exact design, location and installation will be coordinated with Community Services staff. Funding for construction and maintenance (damage repair or replacement cost) of the sign/plaque will be the responsibility of the Historic Preservation Commission. However, since the funding for Hosp Grove Park is coming from a project specific State grant, there may be an opportunity to fund all or a portion of the historic interpretive signage if any money is remaining after completion of the park construction. Commission concurrence of this item would be consistent with the implementing programs identified in the Parks and Recreation element. Specifically, that program states: "work cooperatively with the Historic Preservation Commission and Cultural Arts Commission to effectively sustain and promote awareness of historically and/or culturally significant facilities and programs." FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the sign is not anticipated to exceed $750.00. A 33
