Mike Ulrich, Public Works Foreman, reviewed Staff Report No. 91-1O1C regarding the renovation of the City Sign. Ulrich reported that the outdoor sign board has broken panels and holes in the sign and is in dire need of repair, Ulrich requested and received a quote from Lawrence Signs, which is the company who originally installed the sign board. Ulrich stated the various options as follows:. 1. To replace the face of the sign, basically the same as it is now, would be $2,275.00. 2. To replace the upper part of the sign, which is where the "City of Mounds View" logo resides, there are 2 options: a) Basically the same as now: $2,000.00 b) Routed copy aluminum faces backed with plexiglass. (This would allow just the City of Mounds View to illuminate at night with gold lettering, instead of the background lighting up also, as does now. This option would give the sign board more of a professional and crisp look.): 3. To repaint the sign cabinet and pole enclosures: $570.00 4. Additional letters and number: $500.00 Councilmember Blanchard inquired as to the cost of a reader board sign. Ulrich had checked into this and the cost would be approximately $60,000. Mayor Linke stated that to replace the face of the sign, have routed aluminum faces backed with plexiglass, repaint the sign cabinet and purchase additional letters the cost would be $4745. Ulrich stated that the Council had approved $1,000 in the 1991 budget for renovation of this sign. Ulrich advised that to do just the basic minimum of renovation, $1,275 will need to be transferred from the contingency fund.
