Council authorizes photo op signs

Posted

Those looking for just the right spot to take a photo in Fountain Hills will soon be getting some help.

The Town Council has approved a request from the Public Art Committee to designate and post a number of locations throughout the community as “photo opportunities.”

In a letter to Community Services Director Mark Mayer, Public Art Committee Chair Sandi Thompson suggested that up to 20 signs 18 inches by 12 inches be placed around the community identifying the location as a good place for a photo.

The sites would likely include parks, the Community Center and trails.

The Public Art Committee would purchase the signs and is asking the town to install them.

Former Mayor Jerry Miles, an advocate for the project, said he is not above using someone else’s good idea, and he thought of this when visiting Disneyland and seeing similar signs.

“There are many marvelous places to take photos in this community,” Miles said. “I believe the Fountain may be one of the three or four most photographed locations in Arizona.”

The council voted unanimously to approve the project pending a final review of the sign design.
