Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes April 17,2012 Page 2 Discussion ensued regarding the three options and it was the consensus of the committee to eliminate Option#3 and look at Option#1 and#2. The members preferred Option#2,but felt Option#1 was the most practical cost-wise especially with the additional cost for posts and installation. Committee Michaelson moved they recommend Option#1 and#2 to Council Committee Member Peck amended the motion to include that more information was needed regarding the cost of posts and installation. Ms. Olson questioned if they wanted this to go to Council before the next PTRC meeting or whether they wanted to meet one more time when she had the entire proposal completed. Committee Member Peck asked Ms. Olson to e-mail the information on the posts and examples. He also indicated he feels they need to get an actual sample of the sign to get a more accurate depiction of what they are actually getting in order to present to Council. Committee Member Michaelson motioned they recommend Option#1 including the cost of the posts seconded by Committee Member Peck. Council Liaison Holden indicated if they preferred Option#2 they should present that option-to Council even though the overall cost of the sign might be a deciding factor. Ms. Olson asked the members what they would like to see included on the signs. Committee Chair Garretson felt mileage was important. Committee Member Kramlinger felt that the trails in Arden Hills were not lengthy and very segmented. He felt a scale would be most appropriate. The Committee discussed this and the consensus was that a scale would be enough information. Committee Member Larson suggested they get warranty information,the cost of the posts and installation, and also do a list of advantages and disadvantages. She also questioned how easy it would be to change out the signage if a sign needed to be replaced. Ms. Olson informed that for both Option#1 and#2 the maps are screwed on to the post. Council Liaison Holden asked if there was a covering over the map for option#1. Ms. Olson indicated the sign has a laminate over it which is called a tough cover. MOTION: Mr. Michaelson amended the original motion that the committee recommend Option#1 and Option#2, with a preference for Option#2, and that more information in regards to the cost of the posts, installation, warranty and replacement, was needed. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Straumann. The motion carried unanimously (8-0).
