Members present: Susan Ackley Tia Bowman Victor Bruce Luis Crump Beth Dunlop Clarissa Rodriguez Michael Stock Also present: Angela Dorney, Recreation Superintendent Leslie Rackl, Executive Assistant Daniel Marosi, Artist The meeting was called to order at 6:12 p.m. Mr. Marosi made his NW 2nd Avenue site specific presentation to the Commission. Mr. Marosi’s concept is street signs that have inspirational messages; they are not directional signs. There would be signs placed on each block that are continuous, displaying positive, friendly messages. Mr. Marosi presented samples of the size scale of the messages.
