Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation (HYCDC) for the design and installation of informational signage at the Jim Henson Courtyard at the Park, upon the review and approval of the City Attorney for legal sufficiency.
end
Summary Background:
In July of 2016, through collaboration with the Jim Henson Legacy Foundation, the City installed a concrete planter and benches in the Park courtyard commemorating Jim Henson’s early work and his connection with the Hyattsville area. The intent of the signage is to provide more information on Jim Henson and the characters depicted on the planter/sculpture. The Hyattsville Community Development Corporation has been provided full funding in the amount of $3,000 from the Jane Henson Foundation for the design and installation of signage for the courtyard to be completed with input and approval from both the Jane Henson Foundation and the City.
