03-14-12 PR114 MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Historical Marker Interpretive Trail Graphic Materials Graphic Production Materials Cast aluminum markers are popular for their "historic look". They are durable but quite heavy. Often they are painted a dark color with light or gold lettering. They generally have an 8 to 10 week production time and are moderate to high in price. What these panels lack in their ability to adequately show color photographs they make up for in durability. They are very good for low or no maintenance locations like roadside markers and rests. Fiberglass panels imbed a digitally produced paper graphic in ultraviolet filtering, acrylic - modified polyester resin on a woven mesh backing. They generally have a 6 to 8 week production time and are moderate to low in price. These have a short (5 to 8 year) lifespan, and will fade and become brittle over time, and once damaged (scarred or cut) they begin to oxidize and fail along the edges of the scar. These types of panels are good for use in highly vandalized or easily damaged areas, since multiples of the same sign can be produced at one time and simply replaced as needed. They can be maintained and cleaned easily — treat them just like a fiberglass automobile body. High-pressure laminate panels encapsulate a digital paper graphic between layers of ultraviolet filtering film and phenolic resin composed of formaldehyde and phenol (think kitchen countertop). They generally have a 6 to 8 week production time and are moderate in price. These panels are good for use in all locations, remote or staffed, wet or dry. They're also very good with the incorporation of high-resolution photographs. While they can be vandalized, they Historical Marker & Interpretive Trail Graphic Materials Page 1 of 6 hold their integrity after being damaged quite well. They are very color -fast and have a long lifespan — MHS has phenolic resin signs in the field that are ten plus years old. They can be easily maintained and cleaned if waxed using a high quality automotive wax once a year. Porcelain enamel markers are glass fused to steel. Though meteorologically durable and very stable, these are very expensive to produce. These panels generally have a 10 to 12 week production time. If damaged, these panels will rust causing a stain, or `bleed' on the face graphic. They perform very well in zoos, aquariums, etc. and should be considered in areas that are regularly staffed and have heavy moisture. Fiberglass embedment or high-pressure laminate are usually the most cost-effective production methods. Also, it will be more cost-effective to have the digital graphic files "production ready" ahead of time. There can be upcharges for file modifications done by the production house. All can be easily cleaned with non-abrasive cleansers and all can be vandalized. A general rule of thumb is that replacement cost will be close to the original production cost. Frame Production Materials Wood is the most readily available and the most user-friendly material for trail sign frames. It's usually pretty easy to find a volunteer who can make wooden frames for you. Since these frames will be exposed to the elements year-round, it's important to use exterior grade woods, primers, paints, and sealers. Always remember to prime and seal the end grain of your wooden frame materials. Wood frames will require the most maintenance and are the easiest to be damaged or destroyed. If you've ever had to repair a wooden fence, you'll have a good understanding of what sort of maintenance would be involved. The decision to use steel or aluminum for frame production has a few variables to consider as well. Steel will be easier to have fabricated locally, but when exposed to the elements will rust, leaving red -brown stains. Aluminum may have to be fabricated far away, adding to shipping costs, but will not rust and stain when exposed to the elements. Steel frames are usually about twice the weight of their aluminum counterparts, and this may also be a consideration. The choice between painting or powder -coating the steel or aluminum frames also has a few variables to consider. Again, painting of the frames can usually be done locally, while powder - coating (an electro -chemical bonding process), typically has to be sent away for. The powder - coated finish is much harder than a painted finish — it takes more effort to scratch through the powder -coat. The downside to powder -coated finishes is that touch-up is difficult to match. Automotive epoxy paint gives the closest match to finish and durability. Painted finish can be more easily repaired and touched up, but in general is less durable and will require maintenance over its lifetime. Overall, steel and paint finishes are cheaper to begin with, but will require more maintenance over time. Aluminum and powder -coat finishes are more expensive to begin with, but require less maintenance over time.

Your board of directors decides that outdoor trail signs like they've seen at other places are the way to get visitors to stay and enjoy the site. Now your board has told you to "make it so" — what to do? In Fall of 2006 and Spring 2007 one of the Minnesota Historical Society's Local History Services workshops was all about trail signage "Dos and Don'ts". The presenters, Ellen Miller and Aaron Novodvorsky, have turned that presentation into this two-part "Tech Talk". We've added some new information, a section that discusses a project timetable, and some basic checklists for you. Here in Part I, we'll discuss the beginning of your project, moving you through what it will take to get things ready for production and installation. As with any exhibit, no matter its delivery method, there are four basic steps: planning, design, fabrication, and installation. For each of these steps, you must answer a series of questions to ensure a quality end product. With the planning stage, the first thing you need to consider is your audience: • How do they get to your site — drive locally, drive from far away? • How long do you want them to stay at your site — 30 minutes, an hour, two hours? • How will they engage with your site — walk, run, drive, ski? • Who are they — children, young adults, families, adults without children, seniors? In their book Signs, Trails, and Wayside Exhibits: Connecting People and Place Michael Gross, Jim Buchholz, and Ron Zimmerman put forth the 3/30/3 Rule, which is a great guide for virtually any exhibit planning: • You have about three seconds to catch the visitor's attention; • You have about 30 seconds for them to make the decision to read the sign; and • The visitor will spend on average three minutes reading and understanding the sign's message. Next in your planning you need to consider your stories, or themes. When you develop your themes it is important to consider the following: • What happened where I want to put my trail sign? • Why should it matter to visitors and what information will they take away with them? • Connect the story to the environment – to what visitors are looking at. Now that you've determined what your stories will be, you can start developing them into your trail signage exhibit. At this point remember that you're not alone – nor should you be! You'll get a far more interesting product when you open yourself up to new ideas and viewpoints. It's now time to identify and pull together: • Content experts and specialists – if you're doing signs about natural history call up the DNR or your local college. Professionals are happy to help, and will usually do it for free. Don't be shy about asking. • Native American Content – engage an Indian advisor who you can work with from the beginning to the end of your project. This is a critical and key point: don't just "show up" with a finished product awaiting a rubber-stamped approval. • Volunteers – for story content research and image resource identification and location. • Consultants and reviewers –just like content experts, look to others in your community to review and offer insight on the content of your stories. Consider local librarians, teachers, and clergy as reviewers. As you, along with your content experts and volunteers, continue to develop and write your trail sign stories, remember: • Seek diversity in your stories and remember that there is usually more than one side to every story. If one of your stories relates to a contentious issue – tell all sides of it. Let visitors come to their own conclusions. • Tell your stories in first person. Let the original quoted words shine through and take the lead. Visitors will get a better sense of what really happened, rather than what someone else has synthesized for them. • You need to make a human connection—build a bridge between the past and present. Link the first person stories to photos when possible. The statement "a picture is worth a thousand words" may be cliche, but it's true. • Set up internal deadlines and reviews. This helps break the project into manageable chunks. It also allows for "course correction" before you've invested a huge amount of time on a theme or story that really can't go anywhere. • Tell only one story per graphic trail sign. Also, make sure that your story begins, is told and concludes on one panel, or two sitting side-by-side. If visitors have to move from trail sign to trail sign to get the gist of one story, they won't! • Visitors typically prefer shorter, more digestible text sections. Trying to keep your story sections to short paragraphs — 25 to 75 words each — increases the likelihood of visitors actually reading them. Remember: 5 aRi D A PURPOSE '*—Title: attracts attention (I to 7 words) • 1/3 in text • 1/3 for graphics ' Main Iabel: big idea (20-150 words) often includes a lead • 1/3 in blank space 's —�� graphic image d -\Pull Out Quotes: a voice (5-20 words) gives Nt-Sidebar: more detail or interesting facts (20 to 75 words) Minnesota Historical Society Font Size W FIVE DAYS AND NIGHTS ON THE RIVER • Title: 130 point • Main text: 40 point ------------ • Sidebar title: 36 point: - • Sidebar text: 28 point • Graphic ids: 22 point You've researched and written your stories with the help of your content experts and volunteers; you've gathered all of your image resources; you've had everything reviewed and approved. Now it's time to design your trail signs. Here are some things to remember: • Graphic images, maps, photos, and colors will attract and involve the visitor more than anything else. Let your graphics and pictures be the main draw — attracting and inviting the visitors to engage in and read the text. • Everything is digital now, and the end product at this stage of your project is a CD or a DVD. Hiring your own graphic designer is one of the keys to having a well-done finished product. It is cost- effective to have the digital graphic files "production ready" ahead of time. There are usually expensive "up -charges" for file modifications done by a graphic production house. • This is a very critical stage in your project — without a good graphic design, the whole project will be boring and your visitors won't stay at your site very long. In Part II of this Tech Talk, we'll discuss the production of your graphics and your frames, the installation of your frames and graphics, and perhaps most importantly, a general project schedule. "You Want Me To Put A Sign Where?" (Part II) By now, you're probably just about ready to give your project to someone else — and your timing is perfect! It's now time to have the graphics for your trail signs produced. There are five graphic production materials used for exterior markers that we'll discuss below: Cast Aluminum, Fiberglass, Phenolic Resin, Porcelain Enamel and Vinyl on Aluminum. Cast aluminum markers are popular for their "historic look." They are durable but quite heavy. Often they are painted a dark color with light or gold lettering. They generally have an 8 -to - 10 -week production time and are moderate to high in price. What these panels lack in their ability to adequately show color photographs they make up for in durability. They are very good for low or no maintenance locations like roadside markers and rests. Fiberglass panels imbed a digitally produced paper graphic in I Cast aluminum marker 1 I ultraviolet filtering, acrylic -modified polyester resin on a woven mesh backing.

If damaged, these panels will rust, causing a stain, or "bleed" on the face graphic. They perform very well in zoos, aquariums, etc., and should be considered in areas that are regularly staffed and have heavy moisture. _ 6.... _ _.�... �N RU Vinyl graphics on aluminum backers are ideal for semi- A porcelain enamel graphic panel permanent wayfinding type signage (think highway signs). Hours of operation, admissions, directional, and instructional signs that change from season to season can be created economically this way. The aluminum backer won't rust and the vinyl lettering can be changed while leaving background and standard information alone, lowering the season -to -season costs. This type of signage keeps a professional look while giving a good deal of flexibility. While your graphic signs are being produced, you've got to get the frames that hold them fabricated. Wood, steel, or aluminum can all be used for your frames — it depends on where the signs will be placed, what's available, your budget and how much maintenance your organization is willing and able to do. Wood is the most readily available and the most user-friendly material for trail sign frames. It's usually pretty easy to find a volunteer who can make wooden frames for you. Since these frames will be exposed to the elements year-round, it's important to use exterior grade woods, primers, paints, and sealers. Always remember to prime and seal the end grain of your wooden frame materials. Wood frames will require the most maintenance and are the easiest to be damaged or destroyed. If you've ever had to repair a wooden fence, you'll have a good understanding of what sort of maintenance would be involved. The decision to use steel or aluminum for frame production has a few variables to consider as well. Steel will be easier to have fabricated locally, but when exposed to the elements will rust, leaving red - brown stains. Aluminum may have to be fabricated far away, adding to shipping costs, but will not rust and stain when exposed to the elements. Steel frames are usually about twice the weight of their aluminum counterparts, and this may also be a consideration. The choice between painting or powder -coating the steel or aluminum frames also has a few variables to consider. Again, painting of the frames can usually be done locally, while powder -coating (an electro -chemical bonding process), typically has to be sent away for. The powder -coated finish is much harder than a painted finish — it takes more effort to scratch through the powder -coat. The downside to powder -coated finishes is that touch-up is difficult to match. Automotive epoxy paint gives the closest match to finish and durability. Painted finish can be more easily repaired and touched up, but in general is less durable and will require maintenance over its lifetime. Overall, steel and paint finishes are cheaper to begin with, but will require more maintenance over time. Aluminum and powder -coat finishes are more expensive to begin with, but require less maintenance over time. You've finally received your crate of graphic panels from the vendor and your graphic frames are waiting in a corner of your garage. Now that it's time to install everything, you've got more decisions to make. Of course quite a few of these decisions were already made — otherwise the frames wouldn't be stored in your garage! A list of installation things to think about include: • Will you be attaching your signs to the walls of buildings? If so, think about including a frame that is only that — a frame for the graphic with no legs. • Will you be attaching your signs to the ground? If so, are they going to be buried in the ground or just sitting on top of the ground? Buried posts need to be in the ground at least 48", to get below the frost line. Otherwise, they'll heave each spring. If your signs are to just sit on top of the ground, they'll need to be weighted so they don't move by wind or by visitors. Consider a concrete base for signs like this. Will you be mowing and maintaining the area around your signs? If so, consider a leg design that is •easy to work around. Also consider if you'll be removing snow from around your signs, or tossing ice -melt (salt) around your signs. Wood signposts love salty water — they'll soak it in deep and the salt will open the pores. Now when there's a real cold snap that water will freeze in the depths of the post and begin to destroy it from the inside out. Aluminum signposts don't really care one way or another about salty water — they'll get a white oxidized powder after the contact, but that's about it. Steel on the other hand hates salty water — it weeps red and brown tears, it develops scars, boils and all sorts of nasty surface blemishes. Eventually the structure of the steel will be compromised and you'll find your sign lying on the ground. If you've stayed with us in the Tech Talk this far, you're no doubt wondering, "How long will all of this really take?" So — how long will all of this really take — longer than you or your board have probably planned for! The easiest way to avoid frustration and missed deadlines is to work your schedule backwards from a suggested opening date with the following guidelines: • Installation — on average you should plan for one to three days for your installation period. This will give you allowances for bad weather, etc. • Graphic Production — once the graphic production vendor receives your file (DVD or CD), plan for four to six weeks plus about two weeks for delivery. You can shorten this production time, but it will cost you more for the rush fees. • Frame Production — since this typically takes less time than the graphic production, get this step completed while the graphics are being made, and they'll be ready and waiting for your installation. • Final Graphic Design and File Preparation — once the text and images have all been selected, laid out, edited, reviewed, and approved, plan for up to three weeks for your graphic designer to finalize the files and get them prepared for production. • Preliminary Graphic Design — to move your graphic dream into a reality, your graphic designer will work with you to create visual draft layouts with low -resolution images and various versions of your text to review. Plan for up to one month or more for this process. • Research and Text Writing — when you get right down to it, the very first thing you're going to do with your project is research and write the first, second, and third draft of your unpublished book. Plan for up to three months or more for this step, depending upon the quantity of your signs, the complexity of your stories, and the number of individuals or groups involved with you. SO — what does this all add up to? • Research and Text Writing = up to three months (twelve weeks) • Preliminary Graphic Design = up to one month (four weeks) • Final Graphic Design and File Preparation = up to three weeks • Graphic Production = up to six weeks for production and two more weeks for delivery • Frame Production = figure this as part of the graphic production time • Installation = up to one week just in case Mother Nature doesn't cooperate • GRAND TOTAL = Up to twenty- eight weeks or seven months.

They have been working in their respective areas of expertise for more than 14 years. "You Want Me To Put A Sign Where?" {Part I} Your Minnesota site has lots to see, but no visitors! Your board of directors decides that outdoor trail signs like they've seen at other places are the way to get visitors to stay and enjoy the site. Now your board has told you to "make it so" — what to do? In Fall of 2006 and Spring 2007 one of the Minnesota Historical Society's Local History Services workshops was all about trail signage "Dos and Don'ts". The presenters, Ellen Miller and Aaron Novodvorsky, have turned that presentation into this two-part "Tech Talk". We've added some new information, a section that discusses a project timetable, and some basic checklists for you. Here in Part I, we'll discuss the beginning of your project, moving you through what it will take to get things ready for production and installation. As with any exhibit, no matter its delivery method, there are four basic steps: planning, design, fabrication, and installation. For each of these steps, you must answer a series of questions to ensure a quality end product. With the planning stage, the first thing you need to consider is your audience: • How do they get to your site — drive locally, drive from far away? • How long do you want them to stay at your site — 30 minutes, an hour, two hours? • How will they engage with your site — walk, run, drive, ski? • Who are they — children, young adults, families, adults without children, seniors? In their book Signs, Trails, and Wayside Exhibits: Connecting People and Place Michael Gross, Jim Buchholz, and Ron Zimmerman put forth the 3/30/3 Rule, which is a great guide for virtually any exhibit planning: • You have about three seconds to catch the visitor's attention; • You have about 30 seconds for them to make the decision to read the sign; and • The visitor will spend on average three minutes reading and understanding the sign's message. 1 u need to consider your stories or themes. When you develop your themes it is IN in your p win ng yo important to consider the following: • What happened where I want to put my trail sign? • Why should it matter to visitors and what information will they take away with them? • Connect the story to the environment – to what visitors are looking at. Now that you've determined what your stories will be, you can start developing them into your trail signage exhibit. At this point remember that you're not alone – nor should you be! You'll get a far more interesting product when you open yourself up to new ideas and viewpoints. It's now time to identify and pull together: • Content experts and specialists – if you're doing signs about natural history call up the DNR or your local college. Professionals are happy to help, and will usually do it for free. Don't be shy about asking. Native American Content –engage an Indian advisor who you can work with from the beginning to the end of your project. This is a critical and key point: don't just "show up" with a finished product awaiting a rubber-stamped approval. Volunteers – for story content research and image resource identification and location. • Consultants and reviewers –just like content experts, look to others in your community to review and offer insight on the content of your stories. Consider local librarians, teachers, and clergy as reviewers. As you, along with your content experts and volunteers, continue to develop and write your trail sign stories, remember: • Seek diversity in your stories and remember that there is usually more than one side to every story. If one of your stories relates to a contentious issue – tell all sides of it. Let visitors come to their own conclusions. • Tell your stories in first person. Let the original quoted words shine through and take the lead. Visitors will get a better sense of what really happened, rather than what someone else has synthesized for them. • You need to make a human connection—build a bridge between the past and present. Link the first person stories to photos when possible. The statement "a picture usand words" may be is worth a tho cliche, but it's true. • Set up internal deadlines and reviews. This helps break the project into manageable chunks. It also allows for "course correction" before you've invested a huge amount of time on a theme or story that really can't go anywhere. your story Tell only one story per graphic traiigs Also, make tv�slst concludes on one panel, or two sett�gde-bYs'deIfvsitorshave to moeromtra ligno trail sign to get the gist of one story, they won't! p Y to keep our story sections to Visitors typically prefer shorter, more digestible text sections.

Now it's time to design your trail signs. Here are some things to remember: Graphic images, maps, photos, and colors will attract and involve the visitor more than anything else. Let your graphics and pictures be the main draw — attracting and inviting the visitors to engage in and read the text. Everything is digital now, and the end product o havinat this g well-done finished product.e of your project is a ItIbis cost- effective your own graphic designer is one of the keys g effective to have the digital graphic files "production ready" ahead of time. There are usually expensive "up -charges" for file modifications done by a graphic production house.

It's now time to have the graphics for your trail signs produced. There are five graphic production materials used for exterior markers that we 11 discuss below: Cast Aluminum, Fiberglass, Phenolic Resin, Porcelain Enamel and Vinyl on Aluminum. Cast aluminum markers are popular for their "historic look." They are durable but quite heavy. Often they are painted a dark color with light or gold lettering. They generally have an 8 -to - 10 -week production time and are moderate to high in price. What these panels lack in their ability to adequately show color photographs they make up for in durability. They are very good for low or no maintenance locations like roadside markers and rests. Fiberglass panels imbed a digitally produced paper graphic in I Cast aluminum marker I ultraviolet filtering, acrylic -modified polyester resin on a woven J mesh backing. They generally have a six -to -eight-week production time and are moderate to low in price. These have a short (five -to -eight- year) lifespan, and will fade and become brittle over time, and once damaged (scarred or cut) they begin to oxidize and fail along the edges of the scar. These types of panels are good for use in highly vandalized or easily damaged areas, since multiples of the same sign can be produced at one time and simply replaced as needed. They can be maintained and cleaned easily — treat them just like a fiberglass automobile body. A worn out fiberglass graphic panel High-pressure laminate panels encapsulate a digital paper graphic between layers of ultraviolet filtering film and phenolic resin composed of formaldehyde and phenol (think kitchen countertop). They generally have a six -to -eight-week production time and are moderate in price. These panels are good ENGINE Nrc for use in all locations, remote or staffed, wet or dry. They're also very good with the incorporation of high- t�f N resolution photographs. While they can be vandalized,_ they hold their integrity after being damaged quite wel. + r They are very color -fast and have a long lifespan MHS has phenolic resin signs in the field that are ten plus years old. They can be easily maintained andw. cleaned if waxed using a high-quality automotive wax A phenolic resin graphic panel once a year. Porcelain enamel markers are glass fused to steel. Though durable and very stable, these are very expensive to produce. These panels generally have a 10 -to -12 -week production time. If damaged, these panels will rust, causing a stain, or "bleed" on the face graphic. They perform very well in zoos, aquariums, etc., and should be considered in areas that are regularly staffed and have heavy moisture. Vinyl graphics on aluminum backers are ideal for semi- dsi a e (think highway signs). t.,. A porcelain enamel graphic panel permanent wayfiin ing type gn g Hours of operation, admissions, directional, and instructional signs that change from season to season can be created economically this way. The aluminum backer won't rust and the vinyl lettering can be changed while leaving background and standard information alone, lowering the season -to -season costs. This type of signage keeps a professional look while giving a good deal of flexibility. While your graphic signs are being produced, you've got to get the frames that hold them fabricated. Wood, steel, or aluminum can all be used for your frames — it depends on where the signs will be placed, what's available, your budget and how much maintenance your organization is willing and able to do. Wood is the most readily available and the most user-friendly material for trail sign frames. It's usually pretty easy to find a volunteer who can make wooden frames for you. Since these frames will be exposed to the elements year-round, it's important to use exterior grade woods, primers, paints, and sealers. Always remember to prime and seal the end grain of your wooden frame materials. Wood frames will require the most maintenance and are the easiest to be damaged or destroyed. If you've ever had to repair a wooden fence, you'll have a good understanding of what sort of maintenance would be involved. The decision to use steel or aluminum for frame production has a few variables to consider as well. Steel will be easier to have fabricated locally, but when exposed to the elements will rust, leaving red - brown stains. Aluminum may have to be fabricated far away, adding to shipping costs, but will not rust and stain when exposed to the elements. Steel frames are usually about twice the weight of their aluminum counterparts, and this may also be a consideration. The choice between painting or powder -coating the steel or aluminum frames also has a few variables to consider. Again, painting of the frames can usually be done locally, while powder -coating (an electro -chemical bonding process), typically has to be sent away for. The powder -coated finish is much harder than a painted finish — it takes more effort to scratch through the powder -coat. The downside to powder -coated finishes is that touch-up is difficult to match. Automotive epoxy paint gives the closest match to finish and durability. Painted finish can be more easily repaired and touched up, but in general is less durable and will require maintenance over its lifetime. Overall, steel and paint finishes are cheaper to begin with, but will require more maintenance over time. Aluminum and powder -coat finishes are more expensive to begin with, but require less maintenance over time. You've finally received your crate of graphic panels from the vendor and e o rapre decisions to tieing in a corner of your garage. Now that it's time to install everything, yogot m Of course quite a few of these decisions were already made — otherwise the frames wouldn't be stored in your garage! A list of installation things to think about include: • Will you be attaching your signs to the walls of buildings? If so, think about including a frame that is only that — a frame for the graphic with no legs. the ground or . are theyoing to be buried • Will you be attaching your signs totthe ground? need to be ui the ground at least 8 "r, to get below the just sitting on top of the ground. edposts frost line. Otherwise, they'll heave each spring. If your signs are to just sit on top of the ground, they'll need to be weighted so they don't move by wind or by visitors. Consider a concrete base for signs like this. Will you be mowing and maintaining the area around your signs? If so, consider a leg design that is easy to work around. Also consider if you'll be removing snow from around your signs, or tossing ice -melt (salt) around your signs. Wood signposts love salty water — they'll soak it in deep and the salt will open the pores. Now when there's a real cold snap that water will freeze in the depths of the post and begin to destroy it from the inside out. Aluminum signposts don't really care one way or another about salty water — they'll get a white oxidized powder after the contact, but that's about it. Steel on the other hand hates salty water — it weeps red and brown tears, it develops scars, boils and all sorts of nasty surface blemishes. Eventually the structure of the steel will be compromised and you, 11 find your sign lying on the ground. If you've stayed with us in the Tech Talk this far, you're no doubt wondering, "How long will all of this really take?" So — how long will all of this really take — longer than you or your board have probably planned for! The easiest way to avoid frustration and missed deadlines is to work your schedule backwards from a suggested opening date with the following guidelines: • Installation — on average you should plan for one to three days for your installation period. This will give you allowances for bad weather, etc.• plan for Graphic Production — once the graphic production vendor receives your file (DVD or CD), p four to six weeks plus about two weeks for delivery. You can shorten this production time, but it will cost you more for the rush fees.• graphic p production, get this step Frame Production — since this typically takes less time than the g ra p completed while the graphics are being made, and they'll be ready and waiting for your installation. • Final Graphic Design and File Preparation — once the text and images have all been selected, laid out, edited, reviewed, and approved, plan for up to three weeks for your graphic designer to finalize the files and get them prepared for production. Preliminary Graphic Design — to move your graphic dream into a reality, your graphic designer will •work with you to create visual draft layouts with low -resolution more for this process. mages and various versions of your text to review. Plan for up to one month Research and Text Writing — when you get right down to it, the very first thing you're going to do with your project is research and write the first, second, and third draft of your unpublished book. Plan for up to three months or more for this step, depending upon the quantity of your signs, the complexity of your stories, and the number of individuals or groups involved with you. SO — what does this all add up to? • Research and Text Writing = up to three months (twelve weeks) • Preliminary Graphic Design = up to one month (four weeks) • Final Graphic Design and File Preparation = up to three weeks • Graphic Production = up to six weeks for production and two more weeks for delivery • Frame Production = figure this as part of the graphic production time • Installation = up to one week just in case Mother Nature doesn't cooperate • GRAND TOTAL = Up to twenty- eight weeks or seven months. Of course you'll be doing other thing as well as this project, so it may take longer. j0' • Research and Text Writing= up to three months (twelve weeks) • Preliminary Graphic Design = up to one month (four weeks) • Final Graphic Design and File Preparation = up to three weeks • Graphic Production = up to six weeks for production and two more weeks for delivery • Frame Production = figure this as part of the graphic production time • Installation = up to one week just in case Mother Nature doesn't cooperate • GRAND TOTAL = Up to twenty-eight weeks or seven months.

The CIP is a short and long range financial planning tool to be used to: ■ Plan, prioritize and schedule capital projects and equipment acquisition for the next five years. ■ Budget for high priority projects. ■ Develop policies and procedures for future improvements and purchases. ■ Estimate capital requirements by department and identifying funding sources and/or impacts on tax payers. ■ Communicate the City's planned capital improvements and purchases to residents, businesses, developers and other government agencies. The Parks and Recreation Commission is being asked to review the planned park improvements for 2012-2016 to be included in the CIP. These projects have been identified by City staff based on past work by the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as pending future projects to be brought forward beyond 2016. The City Council has reviewed these projects on an initial basis at their work session on 28 February 2012. Exhibits - A. Summary of Projects By Year B. Projects 2012-2016 C. Prairie Park Master Plan D. Waterfront East Park Landscape Plan E. Norin Landing Concept Plan F. Darkenwald Landing Concept Plan G. Wildflower Meadow Park Concept Plan ANALYSIS Criteria. The CIP is intended to be a working document that is updated on an annual basis in conjunction with City Council's preparation of the City budget. Projects may be added or deleted from the CIP as new projects are identified, there are changes in priorities and/or based on funding availability. To be included as part of the CIP, a project must meet the following criteria: ■ The purchase or expenditure must be $7,500 or greater. ■ The improvement or equipment must have a usable life expectancy of five years or greater. ■ Vehicles, heavy equipment or machinery must have a value of $7,500 or greater or be part of a larger capital improvement project or purchase. Capital improvement projects can and do impact the City's future operating costs; therefore, it is important to consider the impact a given capital project will have on future operations as well. In evaluating the potential capital projects to be included in the CIP, City staff, Advisory Commissions and ultimately the City Council must also then consider the following for each project and the overall CIP in establishing priorities: ■ Maintaining public health, safety and welfare. ■ Anticipated useful life of the improvement or purchase. ■ Consistency of the requested capital improvement to adopted plans and policies. ■ Promoting economic development. ■ Public support and likely demand for the proposed improvement or equipment. ■ Other financial considerations including (but not limited to): o The condition of the City's existing infrastructure including the projected needs for repair and replacement. o The estimated cost of the proposed improvement or equipment. o Available public resources to fund the proposed improvement or equipment. o The relative benefits and costs for alternative uses of the funds. o Operating costs for the proposed improvements or equipment. o Alternatives for providing services most efficiently through shared facilities with other government jurisdictions or other private entities. Procedure. The Finance Department will initiate an annual request for capital projects or equipment from all City Departments, Advisory Commissions and the City Council. City staff will summarize the submitted requests and provide necessary cost estimates, descriptions and justification for the projects. The City Council will review, evaluate and rank the recommended projects for inclusion as part of the CIP. The proposed CIP document is then required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission as it is defined by Minnesota Statutes 462.356 as an Official Control related to development. The Planning Commission will submit its recommendation for the proposed CIP to the City Council for final adoption. The annual review process is to be completed in a timely manner so that the current year capital improvements and equipment set forth by the document will be incorporated into the annual City budget process. The City Council will also as part of the annual budget develop a financing plan for the projects to be ordered or purchased in the budget year as well as tentative financing plans for longer range projects. The City Council may also consider amendments to the CIP during the year as it deems necessary and appropriate to realize community goals. Sources of Funds. Funding sources for capital improvements and equipment may vary depending on specific projects, available fund balances, cost estimates and financing options available at the time. Park capital improvement projects are to be financed primarily through park dedication fees and project reserve funds accumulated from property tax revenue. The park and trail system planned by the Comprehensive Plan cannot be fully developed though financing limited to these two funding sources. Grants, user fees/contributions and even revenue from bond referendums specific to park improvements are alternative sources of funding for park capital projects that will likely be required in the future. Below is a summary of the City's existing park project reserve funds and their current balances: ■ General Fund #101. The General Fund contributes monies to the parks and trails system for smaller capital items and equipment for the Public Works Department and ongoing system operations and maintenance and/or expenditures not meeting the criteria for inclusion in the CIP. The balance of the General Fund is based primarily on annual property tax revenue. ■ Trail Management Fund #202. Activities financed through this fund are maintenance of City trails outside of park properties. The source of monies for this fund is general property tax revenue. The current balance of the fund is $47,000. Park Development Fund #203. Activities financed through this fund are development of new City parks and trails or new improvements within existing parks as identified on the Future Parks and Trails Plan. Monies within this fund are obtained through park dedication requirements allowed by Minnesota Statute 462.358 and paid to the City at the time of final plat approval by developers. Use of this fund has been limited to use for developing neighborhood park facilities up to this date but will in the future also be used for community facilities as Fund #208 is expended. The current balance of the fund is $325,000. Community Facilities Fund #208. This fund has been used to provide money for improvement of community park facilities as identified on the Future Parks and Trail Plan. Monies within this fund have been obtained through park dedication requirements allowed by Minnesota Statute 462.358 and paid to the City at the time of final plat approval by developers. The current balance of the fund is $785,000. Going forward, these funds are to be fully utilized in implementing the CIP for community facilities. No future park dedication fees will be allocated to this fund however, with all monies being allocated to Fund #203 for development of all new park facilities identified by the Future Parks and Trails Plan. Proposed CIP. The exhibits attached hereto outline proposed capital improvements for the park and trail system for 2012-2016 including park development, trail construction and new or replacement park equipment. Potential future park projects within the 2012- 2016 timeframe include continued improvements to Prairie Park based on the Prairie Park Master Plan, development of Waterfront East Park, Norin Landing, Darkenwald Landing and a neighborhood park at Wildflower Meadows. Trail related projects include acquisition of easement and construction of a trail between Randolph Avenue and Queens Avenue to connect the Riverpointe/River Place neighborhood to the City trail system and annual trail maintenance. As the City's park system ages, replacement of existing equipment will also be scheduled as part of the CIP. Initial projects included for 2012-2016 include equipment replacement at Prairie Park and School Knoll Park. RECOMMENDATION City staff is seeking comment and direction from the Parks and Recreation Commission as the proposed projects included on the draft CIP and the scheduling of these projects. Following these discussions, City staff will incorporate the comments of the Parks and Recreation Commission as part of the CIP and present the recommendations to the City Council. REQUESTED ACTION Motion to recommend City Council approval of proposed park and trail system capital improvements as presented in the draft CIP and modified by the Parks and Recreation Commission. C.

City staff obtained quotes from Minnesota -Wisconsin Playground for installation of a new net climbing structure and swing frame with four belt seats. City staff needs direction from the Parks and Recreation Commission as to the number of these seats that should be the bucket style for toddlers. The quote also included costs for two additional pieces of equipment. The additional equipment would exceed the $30,000 budgeted for replacement of the existing play structure. The cost of the High Stepper and Primetime swing frame/equipment is $29,186.52 plus tax and freight. The project is to be paid for from the Park Capita Equipment Fund (#205) used for replacement of existing park equipment and facilities. This fund has a current balance of $47,000. Public Works Department staff would install the equipment. Exhibits: A. Existing structure B. Quote dated February 16, 2012 C. Equipment photos D.
