MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL!II FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATt ' ' /�j* ip DATE: JANUARY 11 , 1990 SUBJECT: PLACEMENT OF CIVIC ORGANIZATION SIGNS ON THE CITY SIGN PEDESTAL As a result of the request of the Mounds View Lion' s Club and direction of the City Council at the January 8, 1990 Council Meeting, staff reviewed the situation regarding the placement of civic organization signs on the City message sign board pedestal at the January 9th Department Head Meeting. The Department Heads felt that the placement of additional signs on the pedestal of the City Hall sign would distract from the purpose of the message board sign as well as potentially insinuate a connection between the civic organization and the City of Mounds View. The Department Heads felt that other alternatives were available including 1 the construction and maintenance of a separate sign area along City Hall frontage on Highway 10 by interested civic organizations for the placement of their signs or at the intersection of Highway 10 and County Road H where the City is currently negotiating acquisition of excess takings from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The Department Heads also felt that the Lion ' s Club might wish to approach • Donatelles regarding the placement of their sign on the Donatelles sign pedestal as that is a location of their meetings. Should Council wish to further pursue the idea of allowing civic organizations to construct and maintain a structure on City Hall frontage or on the City property soon to be acquired from MnDOT at Highway 10 and County Road H for the purpose of displaying their organization ' s signs, staff will be happy to work with the Lion' s Club and any other organizations to determine the feasibility of these locations and the size and type of sign board needed to meet the expected needs of our community organizations. Your direction in this matter is requested. DFP/MJS
