added. . He inquired about the purpose of using rocks for the sign, and
the size of the rocks.

move.
Johnny Pott, of Landmark Golf Management, stated the location for
the signage is 24 feet wide.
Board Member Sniff stated he feels the sign could be larger. He
questioned the need for the logo on top, and the timeframe for the
permanent sign.
Mr. Jonasson noted the sign design has to be brought back to Council
for approval, and then it takes approximately three months for the bid
and build process.
In response to Board Member Adolph, Mr. Pott stated he isn't sure
about the size of the letters but they will be etched into the rock.
Board Member Adolph stated he agrees with illuminating the sign.

project once the permanent sign is installed. He indicated the logo
would be some type of steel fabrication, and assumes it will be
mounted on a pole that is drilled into the rock.

pole behind the logo.

wanted 60 days to complete the sign but he expects to speed it up
some.
