CONSENT AGENDA 43 Mounds View EDA September 28, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 2 44 None. 45 46 7. EDA BUSINESS 47 A. Authorize Fourth Dimension to Create and Install a New Wall Sign in the 48 City Council Chambers. 49 50 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz presented two quotes to replace the wall sign in the 51 Council Chambers. She pointed out that the Fourth Dimension quote includes a backer plate to 52 cover damage that may be caused by removing the existing wall sign. Spectrum Sign Systems 53 quote does not include such a backer plate Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated 54 staff recommends awarding the bid to Fourth Dimension in the amount of $1,400 to be paid from 55 the EDA’s 2009 Other Professional Services budget, leaving a balance of $63,556. 56 57 Commissioner Mueller asked about the material of the current sign and the size of the new sign. 58 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz advised the new sign would be the same material 59 (aluminum) and the sizes vary about 1.5 feet. She explained that each vendor would design the 60 sign as directed by the EDA. Staff said that if the EDA uses a backer plate, the sign company 61 should design it to look like a picture frame so that it looks professional. Economic 62 Development Specialist Steinmetz stated staff would suggest the words “City of” be removed 63 since the logo recently approved by the Council does not include those words. 64 65 Commissioner Hull asked what types of expenses are taken from the Other Professional Services 66 budget. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated expenses would include consultant 67 fees for EDA projects and she did not anticipate that the EDA would need more funds from this 68 line item in 2009. 69 70 Commissioner Mueller commented on the need for proper spacing to assure “Mounds View” 71 appears as two words. 72 73 Executive Director Ericson stated in 2008 this budget was used for legal fees, finance consultant 74 fees, special project fees, environmental review fees, audit fees, the housing resource center and 75 marketing fees. The expenditure under consideration would qualify as a marketing expenditure. 76 77 Vice President Stigney asked about the projected need for this fund in 2010. Economic 78 Development Specialist Steinmetz stated there may be some costs for an appraisal of the EDA-79 owned property, but that cost would not consume the entire budget for this line item. Executive 80 Director Ericson commented on the ability for this budget to serve as a pass-through account for 81 developer reimbursed expenditures. He noted this budget will have a balance remaining at 2009 82 year end that balance will carry forward to the 2010 budget. 83 84 The EDA discussed sign color and whether a gold color would blend in too much with the 85 Mounds View EDA September 28, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 3 current wall color. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz informed the EDA of the input 86 from the City’s cable operator who said that the gold color would stand out sufficiently on 87 camera. 88 89 Commissioner Mueller stated support for the Spectrum Sign Systems proposal for a 7.5-foot sign 90 in a dark burnished gold color. Commissioner Gunn concurred. 91 92 President Flaherty noted the Other Professional Services budget is a TIF generated fund. 93 Executive Director Ericson indicated that is correct and use of this fund is specified. He 94 explained that the City’s recent branding project qualifies for use of these funds as well as 95 marketing and TIF District improvements. President Flaherty stated if these funds could be used 96 to write down the general fund balance or to balance the levy, he would have an issue with this 97 consideration. Executive Director Ericson said that TIF dollars can only be spent only for 98 specific uses. President Flaherty stated his support for the Spectrum Sign Systems proposal in a 99 gold color. 100 101 Vice President Stigney pointed out that TIF funds can be used for trails and roads and since a 102 road reconstruction project is being done, indirectly, money saved here can be used there, 103 resulting in lower taxes to residents. Vice President Stigney asked why quotes were obtained at 104 this time. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated in May, the EDA directed staff to 105 start implementing the City’s new logo. Staff started implementing the logo where it would not 106 cost anything and then staff began obtaining quotes for the most visible signs in the City. She 107 believes it would be a good thing to implement the new logo based on the Council’s decision to 108 adopt a new logo back in April. Vice President Stigney noted the April decision by the Council 109 was to implement the logo where there was no cost; however, this consideration would cost 110 money to implement. 111 112 President Flaherty stated his impression the Council had given direction for staff to start 113 implementing the logo and, eventually, this matter would have to be considered. 114 115 Commissioner Hull asked what happens to this $1,400 if it is not spent on the wall sign. 116 Executive Director Ericson stated the funds would remain in this budget. 117 118 President Flaherty stated his support of the branding process and marketing Mounds View but he 119 did have an issue with spending tax dollars at this time due to the economy. He stated if this 120 fund balance is forwarded to 2010 with no additional money budgeted for this fund, it would be 121 more palatable to consider spending funds on the wall sign. Executive Director Ericson 122 explained at the end of the year, a transfer will be made from TIF Districts to cover expenditures 123 (as needed). So, deferring a purchase to 2010 would not change anything since it is a “paper” 124 budget. 125 126 Vice President Stigney stated if approved, he thinks “City of” should be included in the sign, it 127 Mounds View EDA September 28, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 4 should be of the same color as the current sign, and three-dimensional without the backer plate. 128 However, he finds this to be an unnecessary expense and bad timing. 129 130 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney. To table consideration of a new wall sign for the City 131 Council Chambers to April of 2010. 132 133 Commissioner Mueller stated Vice President Stigney raised good points, noting the water tower 134 needs to be refurbished so the time to start implementing the new logo is with that project. 135 136 Commissioner Gunn asked if these dollars can be used to fund painting the new logo on the 137 water tower when the entire tower is repainted. Executive Director Ericson stated it had not been 138 planned to use any TIF dollars for that project and the cost to paint the water tower would be the 139 same if the EDA uses the current logo or the new logo. Economic Development Specialist 140 Steinmetz added that funding to paint the water tower is in the CIP. 141 142 Vice President Stigney stated his support to fund the logo portion of the water tower project 143 through this budget since it is a form of advertising for Mounds View. 144 145 President Flaherty stated the Council Chambers sign is seen by the public during broadcasts of 146 the Council meetings so displaying the logo in the Council Chambers should move. He stated 147 he supports this expenditure since it in no way impacts the general fund except indirectly as 148 mentioned by Vice President Stigney. 149 150 Ayes – 2 (Mueller, Stigney) Nays – 3 (Gunn, Hull, Flaherty) Motion failed. 151 152 MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Gunn. To authorize the use of $1,400 from the 2009 “Other 153 Professional Services” budget for Spectrum Sign Systems to create and install a new wall sign 154 for the City Council Chambers with the sign being of the same color as the current sign and 155 without the backer plate. 156 157 AMENDMENT MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller (for discussion purposes). To amend the 158 motion to include the words “City of.” 159 160 Executive Director Ericson noted the words “City of” were not included in the specification so it 161 may impact the quote. 162 163 Aye – 1 (Stigney) Nays – 4 Amendment motion failed. 164 165 Vice President Stigney stated he would vote against the motion on the floor due to previously 166 stated reasons. 167 168 Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. 169 Mounds View EDA September 28, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 5 170 B. Authorize Fourth Dimension to Update City Hall’s Electronic Billboard 171 Panels. 172 173 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz presented staff’s recommendation to approve the 174 Fourth Dimension quote to update the City’s electronic message sign on County Road. She also 175 recommended the words “Community Center” not be included on the sign to avoid confusing the 176 public since the Community Center is not located within City Hall. 177 178 Commissioner Gunn stated her support for this expenditure since it is the City’s largest sign and 179 it serves as advertisement for Mounds View and that it should reflect the City’s new image. 180 181 Commissioner Mueller stated she also thinks this sign is important, noting that i many 182 commuters see it on a daily basis. She stated she supports staff’s recommendation to remove the 183 words “Community Center,” and the color scheme as proposed. 184 185 President Flaherty suggested it would be a more prudent time to make this change when needed 186 for upkeep of the sign’s appearance. 187 188 Vice President Stigney stated he does not like the proposed stark white color and would prefer a 189 reverse color scheme. He also felt the words “City Hall” should be included when the sign is 190 updated but believed this is not the time to do so. 191 192 Commissioner Hull stated this sign will need to be updated at some time and the same TIF 193 dollars will be used as the City Council Chambers wall sign so he supports moving forward at 194 this time. 195 196 Vice President Stigney noted the City may want to include a tagline on this sign but a new tagline 197 has not yet been approved. 198 199 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To authorize the use of $1,800 from the 2009 “Other 200 Professional Services” budget and direct staff to obtain design alternatives from Fourth 201 Dimension to create, install, and repaint the City Hall electronic message sign panels with the 202 words “City Hall” included and a reverse color scheme. 203 204 AMENDMENT MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Stigney. To table updating the City Hall 205 electronic message sign until it requires normal maintenance. 206 207 Ayes – 2 (Stigney, Flaherty) Nays – 3 (Gunn, Hull, Mueller) Amendment motion failed. 208 209 Vice President Stigney stated he will vote against the motion on the floor because he believes 210 this is not a necessary expenditure. President Flaherty stated his concurrence. 211 Mounds View EDA September 28, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 6 212 Ayes – 3 (Gunn, Hull, Mueller) Nays – 2 (Stigney, Flaherty) Motion carried. 213 214 C. Authorize Traffic Graphix to Create and Install Two New Sign Panels for 215 the Monument Signs on County Road 10. 216 217 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz presented staff’s recommendation to install two 218 new sign panels for the County Road 10 entrance monument signs. She presented an artist’s 219 rendition of the current temporary sign approved for the City’s 50th celebration in addition to the 220 updated sign renditions. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated the quote from 221 Traffix Graphix is $640 per sign, or a total of $1,280. Staff is not recommending using the other 222 vendor because the expected life of their sign is only two years. Economic Development 223 Specialist Steinmetz recommended the signs be funded from the EDA’s printing budget. 224 225 MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. To postpone consideration to the next EDA meeting so 226 there is adequate time for discussion. 227 228 President Flaherty stated the current signs are only one year old so he does not support a change 229 to the signs at this time. 230 231 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 232 233 8. REPORTS 234 235 None. 236 237 9. NEXT EDA MEETING: Monday, October 12, 2009, at 6:00 p.m. 238 239 10.

Resolution 09-EDA-253 Authorizing JDI Signs & Graphics to Replace the 39 Panels on the Electronic Message Sign Located at City Hall. 40 41 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz explained that this request was carried over from 42 the September 28, 2009, meeting to approve the replacement of two sign panels on the electronic 43 Mounds View EDA October 12, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 2 message sign located at City Hall and to paint the remainder of the sign. It was noted that 21,600 44 cars travel past this sign each day. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz advised that one 45 of the sign companies rescinded their quote when they learned the City selected a different 46 company to create the Council Chambers wall sign. She presented the quotes received from 47 Spectrum Sign Systems and JDI Signs and Graphics. 48 49 Commissioner Mueller referenced the image proposed by JDI Signs and Graphics and asked 50 whether the words “City Hall” can be made smaller so they are not larger than the words 51 “Mounds View.” Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz advised that such changes could 52 be made by either vendor. Staff suggested removing “Community Center” and including 53 “Police” since the Police Department is located in the City Hall building. Commissioner Mueller 54 stated she likes the way the logo is positioned. 55 56 Commissioners Gunn, Mueller, and Hull supported adding the word “Police.” Vice President 57 Stigney pointed out that if “Police” is added, “Mounds View” would have to be in a small size. 58 The EDA discussed options for sign lettering. 59 60 Executive Director Ericson agreed the lettering size would have to be quite small if “Police” is 61 included. President Flaherty suggested the vendor be asked to create a rendering of how it would 62 look. 63 64 Vice President Stigney supported white lettering, a blue background, and a green tree, as used 65 with corridor signs. 66 67 Commissioner Gunn stated the colors for Mounds View High School are green and white but she 68 has no preference either way for the background color. Commissioners Mueller and Hull stated 69 their support for the green and white color scheme. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz 70 stated several color schemes were included in the last meeting packet and can be presented again. 71 72 President Flaherty liked a green and white color scheme with the word “Police” included under 73 “City Hall.” 74 75 Executive Director Ericson suggested the EDA act on the resolution and ask the sign vendor to 76 present different sign renderings. 77 78 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 09-EDA-79 253, Authorizing JDI Signs & Graphics to Replace the Panels on the Electronic Message Sign 80 Located at City Hall. 81 82 AMENDMENT MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Stigney. To amend the motion to indicate that 83 the final design is to be determined by the EDA. 84 85 Mounds View EDA October 12, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 3 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Amendment motion carried. 86 87 Vice President Stigney stated the sign is currently legible and he thinks it is a waste of money to 88 make this sign change at this time. 89 90 President Flaherty stated he is also concerned about the expenditure but will go with the majority 91 vote of the EDA. 92 93 Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Stigney, Flaherty) Motion carried. 94 95 B. Resolution 09-EDA-254 Authorizing Traffix Graphix to Update the 96 Monument Entrance Signs on County Road 10. 97 98 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated this item was continued from the September 99 28, 2009, meeting. She noted the two entrance signs on County Road 10 are at the east and west 100 limits of the City’s commercial corridor. The sign near KFC has been removed due to the trail 101 project and it is intended to be reinstalled before the ground freezes. The current signs were 102 constructed for the City’s 50th Anniversary in 2008 and approved as temporary signs until true 103 monument signs are constructed in the future. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz 104 presented the sign quotes from Let’s Get Graphic and Traffix Graphix and noted that Traffix 105 Graphix submitted the low quote and three sign renditions for the EDA’s review. 106 107 President Flaherty noted the current signs were installed just a year ago and the City should not 108 consider this expenditure at this time. When permanent monument signs are erected, he would 109 support incorporating the logo and tag lines at that point. 110 111 Commissioner Mueller stated her agreement and felt the City could get more service from the 112 signs prior to replacement. She stated the current entrance sign facing to the west with 113 landscaping is beautiful and she supports postponement. 114 115 Commissioner Gunn asked when permanent monument signs will be constructed. She noted the 116 entrance monuments are the first signs people see when entering Mounds View and should 117 reflect the new logo along with the electronic sign. 118 119 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 09-EDA-254, 120 Authorizing Traffix Graphix to Update the Monument Entrance Signs on County Highway 10. 121 122 Vice President Stigney noted three renditions have been presented and the motion should identify 123 which design is being approved. 124 125 Commissioner Mueller stated it was discussed that the tagline, once approved, should be 126 incorporated at the bottom of monument signs. 127 Mounds View EDA October 12, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 4 128 Commissioner Gunn stated the tagline can be added once a tagline is approved. She stated her 129 first choice would be a green and white color scheme, Option 2, so it coordinates with the 130 electronic sign. 131 132 Community Development Director Roberts advised that both sign companies have indicated the 133 temperature must be at least 50 degrees to complete this work. 134 135 President Flaherty, Commissioners Mueller, and Hull indicated their first choice is Option 1 with 136 blue sky and a green tree. Commissioner Gunn stated Option 1 is her second choice. 137 138 Vice President Stigney supported Option 3; however, it would clash with other signs so he 139 supported Option 1 with a green tree. He stated that he does not support this expenditure and 140 noted the tagline is not yet determined. 141 142 Commissioner Hull stated he did not know that a tagline was supposed to be added at the bottom 143 of the entrance monument signs. 144 145 Aye – 1 (Gunn) Nays – 4 Motion failed. 146 147 The consensus of the EDA was to include a tagline and consider this matter again in March of 148 2010. 149 150 C. Review of Possible New City Taglines. 151 152 Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated the EDA started working on developing a 153 new tagline during the Mounds View Branding Project. The EDA originally considered 35 154 options but did not find any appropriate. The EDA then directed staff to solicit tagline ideas 155 from the community and 82 ideas were submitted to staff. She read the criteria for creating a 156 tagline, read Mounds View’s brand promise, and asked each EDA member to identify their top 157 five taglines. 158 159 The Commissioners each presented their top five taglines. It was noted that Commissioner Gunn 160 supported taglines that referenced a small town character, which was a high priority in the fall 161 2008 resident survey. Commissioner Mueller’s first choice was the tagline “Two Words, One 162 Community” which speaks to the historic challenge for Mounds View to be two words. 163 Commissioners Hull and Stigney preferred taglines that use words such as “view” or “see” to 164 play off the City’s name. President Flaherty stated he also liked the idea of using a connotation 165 of “view” in the tagline. 166 167 Commissioner Gunn indicated she would support #56, “Mounds View. See for Yourself.” Vice 168 President Stigney pointed out that since the tagline will go under the City’s name, it only needs to 169 Mounds View EDA October 12, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 5 say “See for Yourself.” 170 171 Commissioner Hull stated he had submitted that tagline. 172 173 The EDA discussed whether an exclamation point should be used at the end of the tagline. 174 175 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Stigney. To approve the tagline: “See for Yourself.” 176 177 Denny Erickson, 2175 Terrace Drive, asked what you would “see.” The EDA explained that is 178 what you will have to discover. 179 180 Commissioner Mueller stated she supports adding an exclamation point at the end but if it is the 181 consensus of the EDA to not include it, she would bow to that consensus. 182 183 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 184 185 8. REPORTS 186 187 None. 188 189 9. NEXT EDA MEETING: Monday, October 26, 2009, at 6:30 p.m. 190 191 10.
