road grading, upgraded parking configuration, and installation of a vault toilet, all of which will be major park improvements available for the disc golfers. The Disc Colf Course is not currently signed, and due to its wooded location, users are unlikely to stumble upon it on their own. To assist with this the City has designed several signs for the park including an entrance sign with an overall park map. and signs for each of the l8 holes. All signs highlight the multiple configurations of the course that can be accomplished by moving each basket (or hole) to one of 24locations. Since the signs have been designed, they now need to be purchased and installed. Please see attached draft signs. While the course is advertised on the ltaitplaLl-D-tlq-Gq1l4.iss-sia-1,lj]lr, gqqhtils_, the information is in dire need of an update. The City would like to hire a consultanf to create a logo for the course in a first step toward branding this comrnunity and tourism ameniq'. The City would also like to design and print a Disc Golf Course brochure, which will include the new logo and the overall park map featured on the park's entrance sign, abbreviated game rules, and a score card. The brochure can be distributed to all of the City's tourism brochure holder locations, as well as local businesses who may want to carry disc golf course supplies/equipment, such as the adjacent Whispering Pines RV Park.
