Resolution 8110, Authorizing the Purchase of a New Electronic Message Sign <br />for City Hall. <br /> <br />Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated improving the Highway 10 Corridor has <br />become a priority for the Council in 2013. She explained the current electronic sign was <br />approximately 14 years old and was not aesthetically pleasing. Staff was recommending the <br />Council authorize the purchase of a new message sign with a monument stone base. She <br />indicated she received five quotes for a new amber colored sign. The quotes submitted by Sign <br />Crafters and Sign Source were reviewed with the Council. She noted Sign Crafters submitted a <br />low bid of $48,645. <br /> <br />Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz requested the Council review both sign quotes and <br />provide Staff with direction on how to proceed. She indicated if the Council were to approve the <br />sign purchase she recommended it be for a fee not to exceed $50,000. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned the proposed size of the new sign. Economic Development <br />Specialist Steinmetz explained the new sign would be located in the same general area and would <br />be the same foot print of the existing sign but the base would be different. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn approved of the amber pixel tint. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller requested the Mounds View logo be placed higher on the base of the <br />sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty questioned the height of the base and message board. Economic Development <br />Specialist Steinmetz reviewed the proposed sign heights in detail with the Council. She <br />indicated that the sign proposals from either vendor could be altered based on direction from the <br />Council. <br />
