3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Committee recommendation.regarding design of the entrance signs
into the City
Public Works Director Raul Rojas updated the Committee on the progress of the signs. There
was an initial problem when the contractor had the letters "BAKERSFIELD" manufactured smaller
than the design specifications. This is being resolved with the contractor. Also, the WVelcome
to" letters were too small and out of proportion with the sign and although they were made to
design specifications, had to be reordered in a larger size. As the '~/elcome to" letters were
manufactured according to specifications, the City will have to pay for this change in size.
When the dark blue letters arrived, as they are very thick,.the letters cast a shadow against the
grey background. This combination of lack of contrast coupled with shadow made the letters
unreadable in daylight. Staff consulted a graphics specialist. It was decided to try to outline the
blue letters in white. A "W" and a "B" were ordered to see what the contrast would look like. To
demonstrate the outlined letters, staff showed the Committee photographs and a video of the
sign taken from inside a vehicle as it was being driven down the highway.
The Committee also viewed several different color designs prepared by Public Works staff,
which could be put on the computer and changed to be able to evaluate the different color
designs.

The Committee suggested different color schemes to staff that theywould like to see printed out,
so the' choices could be narrowed down. Committee Chair Sullivan requested the .models of the
sign have the background spray painted so the color would be similar to the actual sign.
The Committee directed staff to schedule a workshop for the December 12~ City Council
meeting. It was suggested to try and meet again before the Council Workshop.
