<br />Item No: 11B3 <br />Meeting Date: Oct. 26, 2009 <br />Type of Business: Reports of Staff <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist <br />Item Title/Subject: Electronic Message Sign Designs <br /> <br />Background <br />In Mounds View, one of the most visible signs is City Hall’s electronic message sign on <br />County Highway 10 (about 21,600 cars a day travel past the sign on County Highway 10). <br />On October 12, 2009, the Mounds View EDA approved the attached Resolution (09-EDA- <br />253) Authorizing JDI Signs & Graphics to Replace the Panels on the Electronic Message <br />Sign Located at City Hall. The purpose of replacing the panels is to update the sign with <br />Mounds View’s new logo. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />On October 12th, the EDA asked to review additional design renderings for updating the <br />sign. The EDA discussed replacing the words “Community Center” with “Police” on the <br />sign because the Police Department is located in City Hall whereas the Community Center <br />is located across the street from City Hall on Edgewood Drive. <br /> <br />Attached are nine new renderings of the sign (three images each of the sign painted tan, <br />off-white/cream and green). The images contain the logo either centered or left aligned. <br />City staff prefers the below pictured rendering (#6), which is off-white/cream in color with <br />the full-color logo left aligned and the words “City Hall & Police” right aligned. If the Council <br />chooses this rendering, staff would suggest that JDI Signs & Graphics increase the right- <br />hand margin. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
