5. OLD BUSINESS

a. Downtown Oswego Historic District (DOHD)

The commissioners reviewed sign quotes from SignFx and Impact Signs. Commissioners confirmed that the 32” x 20” sign was the appropriate size. They noted that the SignFX quote did not include the mounting posts and was only 5/16” thick. While cheaper, they worried it would be lower quality. They decided to pursue the Impact Sign quote, which also holds a “lifetime materials guarantee”. The quote indicated the QR code was an extra cost, so commissioners decided not to include the QR code. They decided the Village logo should be included but it was adequate to note that the sign as “sponsored by the Village of Oswego Historic Preservation Commission”. Commissioners asked Ms. Riemenschneider to approve the design and proof of the sign and Commissioner Zentner agreed to review the proof as well.

Commissioner Zentner made a motion to engage Impact signs to design and produce a 32X20” sign, cost not to exceed $6,000. Commissioner Murray seconded.
