City Council Minutes <br />February 14, 1996 <br />Page 2 `,~ ~ ~"j <br />C~ <br />PURCHASE OF BUILDING IDENTIFICATION FOR CITY HALL <br />Park and Recreation Director Kriegler explained that staff is recommending that the city <br />hall identification sign be replaced. It currently reads "Falcon Heights Community <br />Building" rather than "City Hall". The term "community building" leads people to believe <br />that there are large recreational facilities inside (e.g. swimming pool or a gym) or that the <br />city hall is located in a different building. Also, the bird in the current logo is really a hawk <br />and not a falcon. Kriegler noted that the letters could be bought wholesale and installed <br />by in-house staff at a substantial savings. <br />Motion was made by Councilmember Hustad to approve the purchase of a new building <br />identification for City Hall, at a cost of 5654.65 plus tax, to be taken from the General <br />Capital Improvement Fund. Motion passed unanimously. <br />REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF THE CITY'S ANNUAL EVENTS <br />1 <br />f] <br />Administrator Hoyt reviewed the city's annual events with the council and asked for <br />comments regarding them. Among the comments given by the council were the <br />possibility of the fire and rescue departments holding one open house rather than two, <br />continuing impromptu neighborhood events, and investigating using the Job Corps <br />catering service for the volunteer dinner. <br />INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Councilmembers Gibson Talbot and Hustad thanked Park and Recreation Director Kriegler <br />on a successful "Dead of Winter" event at Community Park. <br />Mayor Gehrz reported that she had attended a dinner with the University of Minnesota <br />regents and other officials. <br />Administrator Hoyt announced upcoming events at city hall including a personal safety <br />seminar and tax preparation assistance provided by AARP. She also reported that the <br />city's audit had been completed and the auditors were very happy with the way the city's <br />finances and records have been kept in order. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:13 p.m. <br />Carla Asleson <br />Recording Secretary <br />_ ~/ <br />Susan L.
