ATTACHMENTS: Attachment #1: E-mail Communication and Project Description from Erick Wilt, Diagram of proposed Information Kiosk, and Project photos Attachment #1 E-mail Communication and Project Description from Erick Wilt From: Erick Wilt [mailto:erickwilt@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 8:30 PM To: Geoff English Cc: Brady Cherry; Tom Jamason Subject: Eagle project for Paloma Creek Park Hi, my name is Erick Wilt and I would like to get on the Parks and Rec commission agenda to present my Eagle Scout project. I have been working with Tom Jamason and he asked me to present my idea to the Parks and Rec commission. Because of my school and track practice schedule, it is easier to give information in an e-mail for the meeting. For my Eagle scout service project I plan to remove the existing sign board at Paloma Creek Park and replace it with a larger kiosk that I will design and build and install with the help of volunteers from Troop 150 and the community. The size of the current sign limits the amount of information that can be posted and does not provide any protection from the elements . The new sign will allow the City of Atascadero Parks and Recreation Department the ability to post more information and provide protection from the elements and vandalism. . The kiosk design would match similar kiosks at Atascadero Lake Park and Stadium Park, providing continuity of design within the city parks. Attached is drawings and the materials list. Please let me know what time I will need to be at the March 31 st meeting. Thank you Erick Wilt Diagram of proposed Information Kiosk Jf j M h ♦ w` � i� ♦ tea. vim` dli4' ' ...7 • h ds�' lX.
