Director Swenson advised that a discussion of sign costs has not <br /> occurred,though the expectation will be that any signage be consistent with existing signage in <br /> the city. He also said that he expects only approximately two (2) signs so the costs will not be <br /> significant. <br /> Item 6B: community Development Director Michael Grochala advised that before Council <br /> tonight is the agreement discussed at the May 1, 2023 Council Work Session regarding the <br /> Prosepctus for the Wetland Bank. He noted total cost in full is approximately $76,000; however <br /> the agreement to be presented tonight isolates some of the items to start with upfront. Therefore, <br /> the proposal for Council's consideration contemplates Phase 1 of the Prospectus at <br /> approximately$33,000. <br /> The Council Work Session ended at 6:18 PM. <br />
