<br />Item #: 7B <br />Meeting Date: June 10, 2013 <br />Type of Business: Council <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8110, Authorizing the Purchase of a New <br />Electronic Message Sign for City Hall <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Mounds View City Hall’s electronic message sign is located at the northwest corner of <br />County Road 10 and Edgewood Drive. The sign is used to communicate Mounds View <br />events and announcements to residents and visitors traveling along the County Road 10 <br />corridor in Mounds View. Below is a current image of the sign. <br /> <br /> <br />Below is a timeline of the sign’s history: <br /> <br />December 13, 1999: The Mounds View City Council approved the purchase of Daktronics <br />electronic message board with incandescent white lighting in the amount of $40,741.00 <br />from AIM Electronics. <br /> <br />November 14, 2005: The Mounds View City Council approved the purchase of a retrofit of <br />the existing message board with a red LED lighting system in the amount of $34,980.57 <br />from AIM Electronics. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />A new electronic message sign for City Hall would improve the aesthetics of the County <br />Road 10 corridor, especially if a new, stone masonry base is installed. <br /> <br />
