9. City prepares a scavenger hunt map/tour map and disseminates online and with the utility

Business Advisory Board · 2026-04-27 · agenda_item

The City of West Melbourne is planning a pilot program involving 10 fiberglass mascot statues for local businesses. These statues, costing between $5,000 and $8,000 each, will be delivered to participating businesses. After installation, the city plans to create a scavenger hunt map to promote the statues and the businesses. Businesses will be responsible for maintaining the statues, including reapplying a clear enamel gloss to prevent graffiti. This program is currently under review by the Business Advisory Board. The project will involve the manufacturing of the statues, delivery, installation, and the creation of promotional materials. Contractors specializing in manufacturing, site preparation, and potentially decorative finishes could be involved. Suppliers of fiberglass and protective coatings may also find opportunities. Reaching out to city staff early in the review process could provide insight into future needs before formal bids are released.
