Mounds View City Council July 8, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty thanked the representative from DeMar Signs for being present this evening. He <br />then questions which sign rendering would be used for the proposed monument sign. Scott <br />Makij, DeMar Signs, discussed the renderings stating the final design would be up to the <br />Council, along with the final height of the sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty was in favor of increasing the proposed height to more closely match the existing <br />sign height. Mr. Makij explained his intent was to use the existing sign poles for the new sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty requested further information on the Watch Fire reader sign. Steve Van Howden, <br />Watch Fire Signs, indicated Watch Fire has been in the sign industry for 80 years, building LED <br />signs for the past 18 years. He commented Watch Fire provided a great LED sign product and <br />would come with a five-year warranty. He discussed the proprietary software that would <br />accompany the electronic message sign. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson questioned the resolution difference between the 25 and 19 <br />millimeter signs. Mr. Van Howden reviewed this information in detail with Council and Staff. <br />He discussed the size of the characters that could be used for each sign along with the number of <br />lines of text. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty questioned construction timeline for the project. Mr. Makij estimated the project <br />would take eight to ten weeks to complete. He stated the monument base and etched limestone <br />would have to be completed prior to the installation of the electronic message sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty requested a final rendering come before the Council prior to construction. He <br />noted the funding for this project would come out of the Special Projects Fund and the proposed <br />project would greatly benefit the community while improving the appearance of the Highway 10 <br />corridor. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller.
