Update on Historic Street Sign Toppers - Informational QR Code Signs August 1, 2023 Page 2 In tandem with this effort, the Public Works Agency developed a template for a professional -grade, reflective sign containing a quick reference (QR) code that members of the community may scan to access the Library Department's landing page. Signs will be placed at a pedestrian level for ease of viewing and access and will measure 4 inches by 6 inches, with a reflective coating to ensure visibility and functionality during a variety of lighting and weather conditions. Verbiage on the signs will state "More Information," with the QR code beneath that links to the new landing page. At the moment, the landing page contains only a biography of Shipp and street map; however, the intent is to expand the page to link to future historic individuals as the ceremonial street sign toppers program expands over time. Lastly, the landing page may also be adapted to contain biographies of additional historic individuals for whom other facilities are named, such as Carl Thornton Park. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT It is estimated that manufacturing and installation will result in $110 in expenses for each informational QR code sign. Expenses will be paid from account no. 011117625- 62300 (Public Works Roadway Markings/Signs-Contract Services). Assuming the ceremonial street sign toppers program results in one new annual designation, expenses will be approximately $660 annually if six QR code signs are manufactured and installed per designation.
