cm® REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 8. STAFF REPORT Report Number: 95-1504WS 1111706 � AGENDA SESSION DATE November 6. 1995 Report Date: 11 2-95 DISPOSITION Item Description: Discussion of Banners in Mounds View Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this repor - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) PIZMMARY; In light of the fact that MnDot will not allow the City to hang banners at intersections on the light poles, I have been focusing my attention at the other areas in the City namely County Road I and Edgewood. I met with Ramsey County and they also will not allow us to hang banners at the signal light intersection. They do not have any problem with the banners being hung from the other street light locations along County Road I. Ramsey County did advise me to contact NSP due to the fact that utilities are involved and we would need clearance from them so that the banners do not interfere with the access to utility boxes, etc. I contacted NSP and at this point they see no issue with having the banners on the utility poles on County Road I. Just to make sure, I will be meeting with the technical representative the second week in November to confirm which poles the banners will be on and then they will write a memo authorizing the banners. There are 6-8 locations on County Road I for the banners. In addition we could hang 2-3 on Edgewood as an entrance to City Hall, 2 in City Hall parking lot and 2 at the Bridges for a total of 12 banners. I have attached a new quote for 12 banners which is a slight increase in cost per banner due to the reduction in the quantity. If we gain approval from NSP, I would like the EDA's approval to order the banners for display in the locations noted above so that they can be hung before the snow flies. Since there is a budget of approximately $4,000 for this project would could also order some holiday banners to hang through January. My only concern regarding this is the change would need to be made in the cold winter months. In any case it is an idea. oar Cathy B:1 .tt, Economic Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION;
