TO:
WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM:
PUBLICWORKS'DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
'SUBJECT: POLES/STANDARDS FOR BANNER DISPLAYS
RECOMMENDATION:
Pleasure of the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a copy of a staff memo dated August 24, 1988 referencing
potential pole/standard installations for First Street. This report
explained the need to utilize steel poles in lieu of the marbelite type
poles used on Main Street due to the additional Street width.
DISCUSSION:
For any proposed locations on streets wider than First Street (84 feet
curb to curb), the poles will have to be upsized, resulting in a slight
- increase in the estimated cost. A summary of these costs are recapped
below:
* First Street and other streets of the same width - estimated
cost is $6,400.00 for each pair of poles.
* For streets of a width greater than First Street, estimated
cost is $7,000.00 for each pair of poles.
Prior to proceeding with any installation, the following needs to be
finalized by the City Counc~i'l:
1. Desired location of each pole installation and number of
locations desired.
2. Supplemental FY 88-89 budget appropriation for the desired
installations.
Additionally, the Community Development Department has surfaced a
concern regarding a recent court case that does not allow a governmental
body to distinguish between a use for non-profit/commercial and profit/
commercial type advertising for this type of signing. In the event the
City Council desires to proceed with these installations, it is
suggested that prior to proceeding, the City Attorney's office review
said court case and provide the Council a summary of the impacts of said
case.
The plan/specification preparation and
take about three months to complete.

SUBJEGT: First Street Poles for Banner Displays
In response to Councilman PreScott's inquiry on the pIacement of
poles/standards on First Street for banner display, it is my
recollection that the pole/standard installation would be a separate
installation and not included with the utility undergrounding along
First Street. The utility undergrounding contract was not a City
project, but one administered by the Southern California Edison Company.
The proposed pole installations on First Street will differ from those
installed on Main Street easterly of Prospect Avenue due to the
additional width (curb to curb) ~of 28 feet on First Street. This
additional width will not allow the use of the salvaged marbelite
traffic signal standards as used on Main Street, but will require the
use of two' steel poles at each location. The estimated cost of the pole
installation at each location is $6,400.00.
Prior to proceeding with any installation, the following should be
finalized by the citY Council:
..
1. Desired location of each pole installation and number 'of locations
desired.
2. Supplemental 1988-89 budget appropriation of $6,400.00 for each
desired location.
If the Council desires to proceed with the pole installation(s), it will
be necessary to prepare a plan and specification package for formal
bidding. This process should take about 3 months to bid award.
