Mounds View EDA September 28, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />should be of the same color as the current sign, and three-dimensional without the backer plate. 128 <br />However, he finds this to be an unnecessary expense and bad timing. 129 <br /> 130 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney. To table consideration of a new wall sign for the City 131 <br />Council Chambers to April of 2010. 132 <br /> 133 <br />Commissioner Mueller stated Vice President Stigney raised good points, noting the water tower 134 <br />needs to be refurbished so the time to start implementing the new logo is with that project. 135 <br /> 136 <br />Commissioner Gunn asked if these dollars can be used to fund painting the new logo on the 137 <br />water tower when the entire tower is repainted. Executive Director Ericson stated it had not been 138 <br />planned to use any TIF dollars for that project and the cost to paint the water tower would be the 139 <br />same if the EDA uses the current logo or the new logo. Economic Development Specialist 140 <br />Steinmetz added that funding to paint the water tower is in the CIP. 141 <br /> 142 <br />Vice President Stigney stated his support to fund the logo portion of the water tower project 143 <br />through this budget since it is a form of advertising for Mounds View. 144 <br /> 145 <br />President Flaherty stated the Council Chambers sign is seen by the public during broadcasts of 146 <br />the Council meetings so displaying the logo in the Council Chambers should move. He stated 147 <br />he supports this expenditure since it in no way impacts the general fund except indirectly as 148 <br />mentioned by Vice President Stigney. 149 <br /> 150 <br /> Ayes – 2 (Mueller, Stigney) Nays – 3 (Gunn, Hull, Flaherty) Motion failed. 151 <br /> 152 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Gunn.

To amend the 158 <br />motion to include the words “City of.” 159 <br /> 160 <br />Executive Director Ericson noted the words “City of” were not included in the specification so it 161 <br />may impact the quote. 162 <br /> 163 <br /> Aye – 1 (Stigney) Nays – 4 Amendment motion failed. 164 <br /> 165 <br />Vice President Stigney stated he would vote against the motion on the floor due to previously 166 <br />stated reasons. 167 <br /> 168 <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. 169
