Mounds View EDA October 12, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 2 of the sign companies rescinded their quote when they learned the City selected a different company to create the Council Chambers wall sign. She presented the quotes received from Spectrum Sign Systems and JDI Signs and Graphics. Commissioner Mueller referenced the image proposed by JDI Signs and Graphics and asked whether the words “City Hall” can be made smaller so they are not larger than the words “Mounds View.” Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz advised that such changes could be made by either vendor. Staff suggested removing “Community Center” and including “Police” since the Police Department is located in the City Hall building. Commissioner Mueller stated she likes the way the logo is positioned. Commissioners Gunn, Mueller, and Hull supported adding the word “Police.” Vice President Stigney pointed out that if “Police” is added, “Mounds View” would have to be in a small size. The EDA discussed options for sign lettering. Executive Director Ericson agreed the lettering size would have to be quite small if “Police” is included. President Flaherty suggested the vendor be asked to create a rendering of how it would look. Vice President Stigney supported white lettering, a blue background, and a green tree, as used with corridor signs. Commissioner Gunn stated the colors for Mounds View High School are green and white but she has no preference either way for the background color. Commissioners Mueller and Hull stated their support for the green and white color scheme. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated several color schemes were included in the last meeting packet and can be presented again. President Flaherty liked a green and white color scheme with the word “Police” included under “City Hall.” Executive Director Ericson suggested the EDA act on the resolution and ask the sign vendor to present different sign renderings.
