He <br /> reconunended that the PTRC research the issue further and report back to the City Council at a <br /> future date. <br /> Councilmember Pellegrin said that it would be very difficult for him to support investing <br /> $25,000 in new park trail signage, when pavement improvement projects are being pushed back <br /> in the proposed CIP. <br /> Mayor Aplikowski reconunended that trail signage be left in the proposed CIP at this time. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked how many gateway signs are being proposed. <br /> City Administrator Wolfe said that it was her understanding that four gateway sign locations <br /> were being proposed. <br />. Councilmember Grant said that he recalled eight gateway signs were originally proposed. <br /> Mayor Aplikowski requested a list of the eight proposed gateway sign locations be created and a <br /> cost estimate for each site. <br /> Councilmember Holden said that she has a problem spending that much money on a gateway <br /> SIgn. <br /> Mayor Aplikowski requested that City staff research less expensive options for the City Council <br /> to consider regarding gateway signs. <br /> Members of the City Council agreed that the proposed gateway signs should be postponed and <br /> revisited at a future date. <br /> Councilmember Vince Pellegrin left the meeting at 7:15 p.m. <br /> Civil Engineer Kris Giga provided the City Council with an overview of the proposed public <br /> works related CIP projects. Due to the City's inflow/infiltration problem with its sanitary sewer <br /> system, City staff has placed an added emphasis on repairing or replacing manholes and sealing <br /> sewer lines throughout the City. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of III water that is <br /> entering the City's sanitary sewer system. <br />e <br />
