. . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 23, 2004 12 Councilmember Holden stated she wanted to know what the available length of pole choices were and what their durability rating is. Mr. Moore stated staff could plant the street poles at City Hall so they could see what the poles and signage looked like. He noted URS was willing to help facilitate this. He indicated staff could spec this out in anyway Council wanted. Councilmember Holden asked how many street signs had been replaced in recent years due to vehicles hitting them. Mr. Moore replied three signs had to be replaced over the past ten years due to damage. Councilmember Larson stated there were so many alternatives for signs that the Council needed to give narrower definitions as to what they wanted. Councilmember Grant stated he preferred the square posts with white outlining on the signs. Councilmember Larsou agreed. Mayor Aplikowski requested both the round and square poles be brought in for Council to look at. Councilmember Holdeu stated she preferred the square posts. Councilmember Rem stated she had no preference with respect to square or rounds posts. Ms. Wolfe stated it was her understanding Council wanted specs on tall, square, sturdy posts with signing being outlined in white with rounded comers. Adding block numbers would be limited and staff would obtain costs on that option. Mayor Aplikowski asked if Council wanted to see the specs before authorizing staff to obtain bids. Mr. Moore stated he would feel more comfortable bringing back specs to the Council before obtaining bids. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to authorize staff to prepare specifications to prepare street signs as described by the City Administrator. The motion earned unanimously (5- 0). 8. FINANCE A.
