They reviewed concept designs for a northern gateway sign to be located on the west side of TH61, south of 1801h Street within the Washington County Rail Authority and the TH61 shared right-of-way. They had also discussed updating the existing west entry monument sign to include the new logo. Juba explained that included in the budget was $72,000 for a new monument sign. Last summer, the Council had reviewed two options for the northern monument sign and had asked staff for more information. WSB had provided a new rendering for Council to consider that replicates a smaller version of the existing monument sign. At their meeting on January 8, 2020, the Beautification Subcommittee recommended Council move forward with the new entry monument sign option, including modifications to the existing entry monument sign with the new logo and additional landscaping. Juba provided cost estimates for the sign that were prepared by WSB & Associates. Preparation of the construction documents was estimated at $3,000 to $5,000, and the estimate for the new sign was $109,000 with a 20% contingency.
