Arden Hills Parks,Trails and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 6 July 23, 2002 • Committee Member Crassweller clarified that this is a long-term investment and suggested that the Committee make a recommendation to the Council. Chair Straumann asked for clarification of costs for a double sign. Mr. Moore clarified that it would be approximately twice as much as a single sign. Committee Member Henry asked how long the signs last. Mr. Moore stated that signs would last up to 30 years. He explained the intent stating that the signs are sorely needed and they are looking to make a positive impact on the Community. He stated that if the funds come from the CIP that the project would not happen in 2002. He stated that it would have to be submitted to Council for final approval and would probably be slated for 2004. ❖ Costs - Committee Member Crassweller expressed concerns about the potential cost stating that they do not need to spend this much for signage. Committee Member Henry agreed adding that one valid argument to the placement of signs is that it would increase the visibility of the parks. He stated that it would also increase the incentive to utilize the parks on a regular basis. ❖ Prior Committee agreement - Committee Member Thompson referenced the June 11, 2002 PTRC meeting stating that at that meeting everyone had already agreed to the signage and the vote was unanimous. Committee Member Crassweller expressed his agreement adding 1 that a decision has been made and suggested that it be taken to City Council. Council Liaison • ' Larson asked if the Committee has made a decision on the final design and if the design would be appropriate for use at all parks.
