Please see the motion below, which includes the new sign selection process. This motion carried 5-3 with one abstention. We look forward to seeing you at the May 21st P&D meeting.
Mr Chairman:
After months of discussion with the community, artists, Planning and Development
Committee and my fellow Commissioners regarding the Gateway sign project, I move
that we stop the process tonight and instruct the P& D Committee under the guidance and
control of Commissioner Kuhel, to begin a revisit of the process which includes, but is
not limited to the following;
• Post all 36 designs (35 new + existing) on CAC website
• Show all designs at the library, May 7th – May 20th
May 21th P&D Meeting, North Community Lutheran Church
• 7:00-8:00 public input: each attendee will receive 10 dots/person (attendees can
place dots on any sign they wish or all on one)
• Number 1 in public input is an automatic semi-finalist
• Prior Number One “Rose” sign is automatic semi-finalist
• Current Clintonville sign is automatic semi-finalist
• 8:00-8:45 (as needed) P&D review of public input, scoring of rubric by P&D,
results of scoring and open discussion
• Selection of 9 additional Semi-Finalists (1 public input + 9 others = 10 total). The
current Clintonville sign and "Rose" sign are subject to the evaluation process
(public input, rubric, discussion, etc) and do not get special treatment. They may
or may not get into the top ten, but they will carry through to be a finalist
regardless. As a result 10-12 signs could carry forward
• Show top 10-12 designs on Website and Library
• Publish in paper for May 31st edition if possible
June 4th P&D Meeting, North Community Lutheran Church
• 7:00-8:00: public input: 3 dots/person
• 8:00-8:45 (as needed) P&D review of public input, scoring of rubric by P&D,
results of scoring and open discussion
• Prior Number One “Rose” sign is automatic finalist
• Current Clintonville Sign is automatic finalist
• 3 additional signs will be selected
• Show Finalist (5) designs on Website and Library
• Public input through their commissioner
June 7th CAC Regular Meeting
• 5 minute presentation from (5) finalists
• CAC final selections at the regular, all five finalists will be given equal time and a
vote process will be taken to eliminate to one sign; any sign with no
Commissioner votes or sign with lowest votes will be eliminated, this will be
repeated until a final sign is decided upon.
Other Open Issues:
• Use City Attorney’s language to clarify Intellectual Property issue. (It is
understood that the copyright will be asked for and held by the City on behalf of
the Clintonville Area Commission and the community.) All submissions will be
released by the artists to the City before May 21st meeting. The Clintonville
community requires the use of the designs for use other than the Gateway sign
application, therefore a release from the artist is mandatory. If release is not
granted in writing then the submission will be excluded with no appeal.
• Process evaluation rubric for use by CAC and P&D committee working on CAC’s
behalf:
(Scale of 1-5, 5 is best)
• Readability
• Transferability of design to other uses (stationary, etc)
• Reflects Clintonville identity (Branding)
• Public Input
Mr. Chairman I make this motion and request a second and full discussion by the
commission.
