Item No. 08E <br />Meeting Date: April 14, 2008 <br />Type of Business: Consent <br />City Administrator Review: ______ <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Steven Dazenski, Supervisor of Parks Department <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7260 Authorizing Purchase of <br />Temporary Gateway Signage for County Road 10 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As part County Road 10 Corridor Improvement, it was recommended by the City <br />Council to install monument signage upon entering from County Road 10 on both <br />the East and West ends of the City. Staff was requested by the City Council to <br />find examples of various signage and prices for this improvement project. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff presented various designs to the City Council at multiple meetings. <br />Modifications were made and the City Council approved a design at the April 7 <br />Work Session. Staff and the City Council agreed that if the signage were to be <br />replaced in the future, the old signage could be utilized in various manners <br />throughout the City. <br /> <br />The signs would be made up as a 96” x 48” alumilite (3/4 inch composite material <br />with aluminum surfacing, impervious to weather) sign panel cut to shape. <br /> <br />In addition, staff recommends the purchase of twelve additional signs to replace <br />current signs at various entrances into the City. These signs would be 60” x 24” <br />and made with reflective material, with a design matching the gateway signs. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of the two <br />monument signs at $460.00 each. The total for both, including tax and the 6 x 6 <br />posts, would be about $1,000. The cost of the twelve other signs (the smaller <br />entrance signs) would be $325.00 each, for a total of $4,153.50 (amount includes <br />tax). The current 2008 budget (280-4180-7050) has $3,000.00 allocated for <br />these twelve (12) signs, necessitating an increase of $1,153.50. The cost of all <br />signs together would be about $5,200 (amount includes tax). <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Steven Dazenski, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
