Mounds View EDA October 12, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Amendment motion carried. 86 <br /> 87 <br />Vice President Stigney stated the sign is currently legible and he thinks it is a waste of money to 88 <br />make this sign change at this time. 89 <br /> 90 <br />President Flaherty stated he is also concerned about the expenditure but will go with the majority 91 <br />vote of the EDA. 92 <br /> 93 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Stigney, Flaherty) Motion carried. 94 <br /> 95 <br />B. Resolution 09-EDA-254 Authorizing Traffix Graphix to Update the 96 <br />Monument Entrance Signs on County Road 10. 97 <br /> 98 <br />Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated this item was continued from the September 99 <br />28, 2009, meeting. She noted the two entrance signs on County Road 10 are at the east and west 100 <br />limits of the City’s commercial corridor. The sign near KFC has been removed due to the trail 101 <br />project and it is intended to be reinstalled before the ground freezes. The current signs were 102 <br />constructed for the City’s 50th Anniversary in 2008 and approved as temporary signs until true 103 <br />monument signs are constructed in the future. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz 104 <br />presented the sign quotes from Let’s Get Graphic and Traffix Graphix and noted that Traffix 105 <br />Graphix submitted the low quote and three sign renditions for the EDA’s review. 106 <br /> 107 <br />President Flaherty noted the current signs were installed just a year ago and the City should not 108 <br />consider this expenditure at this time. When permanent monument signs are erected, he would 109 <br />support incorporating the logo and tag lines at that point. 110 <br /> 111 <br />Commissioner Mueller stated her agreement and felt the City could get more service from the 112 <br />signs prior to replacement. She stated the current entrance sign facing to the west with 113 <br />landscaping is beautiful and she supports postponement. 114 <br /> 115 <br />Commissioner Gunn asked when permanent monument signs will be constructed. She noted the 116 <br />entrance monuments are the first signs people see when entering Mounds View and should 117 <br />reflect the new logo along with the electronic sign. 118 <br /> 119 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 09-EDA-254, 120 <br />Authorizing Traffix Graphix to Update the Monument Entrance Signs on County Highway 10. 121 <br /> 122 <br />Vice President Stigney noted three renditions have been presented and the motion should identify 123 <br />which design is being approved. 124 <br /> 125 <br />Commissioner Mueller stated it was discussed that the tagline, once approved, should be 126 <br />incorporated at the bottom of monument signs. 127
