Tustin City Council Subject: Request for Funds for producing a new City Map Project Ref: Meeting with Bill Huston and Christine Shingleton dated 4/12/99 10:30am 1. This letter is to request financial support for the 1999-2000 City of Tustin/Chamber of Commerce Map. 2. The amount of $5000.00 is requested from the City. 3. The City was given five (5) exclusive panels for information/demographics on the previous map which would have cost $995.00 per panel. 4. It is our hope that the City will find ~eat value in the updated maps. The maps will: a) Be a Thomas Bros. Map base utilizing Year 2000 Data. The map will be in full color. b) Reflect a positive image of the City of Tustin on its cover. c) Promote and Market "Tustin Legacy" area by creating a visualization of the entire area, as well as the Old Town Redevelopment Projects. d) If a single map were to be purchased from Thomas Bros. by a business, developer, or a community member, it would cost approximately $125.00. e) Tustin Legacy will appear on the map in a different color and all of the roads will be matted out. The area will be predominately labeled as "Tustin Legacy". f) In addition, the Chamber of Commerce will provide 1000 maps for the City to hand out at its discretion.
