committee was thinking about having the meeting early in the morning or during the day and <br />working with the HBA on the workshop. Also case studies will be starting soon. <br />UPDATE ON PROPOSED SIGN ORDINANCE <br />Since August 6, 2008, the ordinance review committee (ORC) has been working on revising <br />the City's sign ordinance. The ORC consists of three Planning Commissioners, Tom Weidt, <br />Bob Rosenquist, and Adam Moore, and two Council members, Mike Granger and Frank <br />Puleo. The goals of the committee were to make the sign ordinance business friendly, make <br />sure the signs are easily seen by the public, and make sure the signs are made out of quality <br />materials. These goals were the basis of creating a new sign ordinance. Staff presented the <br />proposed sign ordinance to the Hugo Business Association and the Planning Commission <br />held a public hearing on the ordinance on November 13, 2008. Staff updated the EDA on <br />how the sign ordinance will affect businesses and the outcome of the public hearing. The <br />ordinance was tabled at the meeting and the committee will meet again with some business <br />owners. The ordinance will be on the Planning Commission agenda on December 11, 2008. <br />UPDATE ON DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT <br />Staff updated the EDA on downtown redevelopment projects. Carpenters Restaurant <br />continues working on their site plan and TIF application. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Denaway made a motion, seconded by Arcand, to adjourn at 9:30 am. <br />
