I understand that the City will need to be granted a variance for the <br /> installation of these banners from MnDot. Therefore,this letter serves as our request to be <br /> .-ximsidered at your next meeting for approval. <br /> The City of Mounds View has been strugaiing with their identity for some time. Highway 10 is <br /> considered as the City Center for Mounds View since retail services and neighborhood facilities <br /> are located in this area. As a result,in 1994 a task force was commissioned to make <br /> recommendations to increase the positive awareness of the City to businesses,residents and the <br /> commuters along Highway 10. One of the recommendations included in the Mounds View <br /> Marketing Program was the installation of Welcome to Mounds View banners. The goal of the <br /> banners is to inform travelers that they are in the main area of the City of Mounds View and to <br /> create a positive community feeling that is so important to residents and businesses alike. I have <br /> included a copy of the Marketing Program for your review. <br /> The City Council has approved the purchase of 25 banners with existing marketing funds and a <br /> grant from Northern States Power. Ten of these banners are proposed for locations on State <br /> Highway 10. The purchase and installation of the banners is contingent upon approval from <br /> MnDot. <br /> The following is an overview of the banners and their locations on State Highway 10. <br /> Size: Ten 30'x 80'Banners <br /> Color: Royal Blue background with Green Tree Design and White Lettering to read <br /> "Pride, Progress and Partnership City of Mounds View" (sample attached) <br /> MINTED WITH <br /> iNKI. 2401 Highway 10 • Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 r� <br /> 100%recycled Paper <br /> Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
