10-12-09 EDA Meeting <br />Item 7A – Electronic Message Sign <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />Background <br />Pictured below is City’s Hall’s electronic message sign. The City purchased it in 2006 from <br />AIM Electronics for $23,563. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The electronic message sign marks the location of City Hall and the geographic center of <br />the community. The scrolling announcements communicate messages to all audiences, <br />such as residents, businesses, potential residents/businesses and visitors. It is the largest <br />City sign besides the water tower. The blue paneling is consistent with the former City logo <br />color. Spectrum Sign Systems (Centerville) created the sign. <br /> <br />Staff obtained quotes from Spectrum Sign Systems (Centerville), Fourth Dimension (Arden <br />Hills) and JDI Signs & Graphics (Ramsey) to update the electronic message sign panels. <br />Fourth Dimension rescinded their quote on September 29th after learning that the EDA <br />chose Spectrum to create the wall sign in the Council Chambers. The quotes from <br />Spectrum and JDI are attached. <br /> <br />Quote - Spectrum Sign Systems <br />Pictured below is Spectrum Sign Systems’ proposed design for updating the electronic <br />message sign panels. Spectrum would charge $2,770 plus the permit fee of $65 to provide <br />new Lexan panels (Lexan is the brand of the thermoplastic). They also would repaint the <br />existing sign cabinet and two pole covers green to match the new City logo. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Existing Electronic Billboard Sign on County Hwy 10 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Image Proposed by Spectrum Sign Systems <br /> <br />
