515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: February 23, 1996 RE: City Center Monument Sign MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R Hanson The Community Pride Committee working in conjunction with Bill Sanders has received quotes for the complete fabrication and installation of a new City Hall monument sign. (see diagram attached) The prices received were as follows: Monette Construction Global Specialty Contractors Arrigoni Brothers $11,500 $13,500 $14,400 The Committee recommended to the Council that we proceed with the City Hall monument sign as proposed at a cost of $11,500 with the understanding that any change in location from the proposed site (45° angle to intersection of Little Canada Road and Noel Drive) in front of the current flag poles should be sent back to the Pride Committee for review. The Committee would also like a chance to look at the color of the stone prior to fabrication to insure coordination with other features on the property. Money has been budgeted for this project out of our 10% gambling funds for the past couple of years. This amount is within that budget. It is also likely we will need to spend some dollars on landscaping enhancements and lighting once the sign is installed to have all improvements in this area tie together appropriately. There is one caution you should consider when acting on this recommendation. With the possible construction of an addition onto City Hall, we should be sure that the sign's location will not be impacted by future construction. We should be able to have this determination completed in the next few weeks. Therefore, your approval should be contingent upon that determination. JRH:kpv Page 81
