He reported that this work could not be completed until warmer weather in the spring. Councilmember McClung stated that he did not like the look of this sign. He recommended that the sign at Cleveland and County Road D more closely reflect the other two gateway signs. Mayor Grant agreed with this statement. He discussed the “haloing effect” that was taking place on the sign. Councilmember Woodburn believed that a light background should be used on the sign as it would attract more attention at night. In addition, the light background would show off the City’s logo better. Further discussion ensued regarding options for the gateway sign. Public Works Director Maurer stated that he would discuss options for the gateway sign with the vendor and would report back to the Council before spring. 2.
