Mounds View City Council May 9,2011 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 4 • <br /> Council Member Stigney questioned what type of letters would be used. City Administrator <br /> Ericson indicated 24"inch molded plastic letters would be used in a black/dark brown color. <br /> Council Member Stigney did not feel the letters were an economic development expenditure. He <br /> suggested the current metal sign be placed in a more proper location. <br /> Council Member Mueller questioned if she should abstain from the vote as she would be hosting <br /> an event at the Community Center later this summer. City Attorney Riggs did not see a conflict <br /> on the issue. <br /> Mayor Flaherty stated the folks traveling along County Highway 10 would not be able to view <br /> the new proposed signage. He felt the proposed signage would assist vehicles traveling on <br /> Edgewood in identifying the Community Center. The Council could consider lighting in the <br /> future if this was a concern. He noted the item has not been reviewed by the EDC to date. <br /> Council Member Stigney suggested the existing metal sign be moved from one side of the <br /> driveway to the other to assist with creating greater identity for the Community Center. <br /> Administrator Ericson said the City would explain that option as well. <br /> Council Member Mueller stated she was in favor of the building signage. <br /> Ayes—4 Nays— 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. 110 <br /> D. Resolution 7780,Authorizing TKDA to Perform Design Services and Prepare <br /> Contract Documents for the Lambert Park Building Demolition and <br /> Construction. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar indicated the building at Lambert Park was built in the late 1970's <br /> or early 1980's. The building was used for storage of park supplies at that time. In 1987, the <br /> building was converted to be used as a warming house/park building. He reported the building <br /> was now in extreme disrepair and in need of demolition. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar stated the building has been slated for replacement within the <br /> Capital Improvement Plan with the expense covered by Park Dedication Funds. The Park <br /> Commission met jointly with the Council last November and the consensus was to proceed with <br /> the demolition and replacement of the building. He indicated at the April Park Commission <br /> meeting,the Commission recommended the City hire a consultant to perform design services and <br /> prepare contract documents for the demotion and construction of the project. <br /> Public Works Director DeBar reviewed the current usage throughout the year at Lambert Park <br /> and then discussed the proposed design of the ne', building. The City would hope to have the <br /> building completed by this winter. City staff solicited bids from engineering firms and TKDA <br /> provided the low bid for the project. He recommended the Council proceed with design services <br /> from TKDA for an amount not to exceed$24,200. <br /> II/ <br />
