ARDEN HILLS eITY COUNeIL WORKSESSION - SEPTEMBER 18, 2000 2 . such as the number of utilities in a right-of-way, and establishing and enforcing fees for restoration. Ms. Wilson indicated that it would be perhaps as many as three (3) months before more information would be getting back to the City Councils regarding the competitive franchise process and the outcome ofthe applications. Ms. Wilson and Mr. Sand cmphasized for the Council that it would be perhaps as many as two (2) years before the City of Arden Hills, and surrounding communities, would see the impact of a second competitive franchise (i.e., installation of cabling and optional choices for service providers, and capital equipment installation). Mayor Probst inquired what was driving the channel realignment issue. Ms. Wilson responded that she thought that the channel realigument was going to remain steady. She thought that, now that the channels had been grouped by type, there would be less fluctuation. She indicated that some of the realignment was due to customer demand, and some due to the technology ofthe company and their ability to deliver the specific channels. LOGO DESIGN PROeESS . Derek Hames, Shikari Designs, Inc. appeared before the City Council with three (3) options for the City Council to consider related to a new logo. Mr. Hames went through various aspects of each design, and indicated his preference for the logo design that did not include the capture of a tree or the environment within a circle. The Council discussed looking at various setups of the logo, and the possibility of having the design stand alone without the words. Mr. Hames indicated that, before he went to that next step, he wanted the City Council to choose their preference from the three (3) options presented. Mayor Probst indicated that he wanted the logo to be flexible and usable on all kinds of applications, and indicated a preference for seeing the tree moved to the left or the right ofthe scrolled City name to detennine if he liked that effect. Mr. Hames produced a proposed letterhead, which included the logo and then the City name and address on the lower portion of the page, with a watermark tree logo in the center of the page. Mr. Hames explained that the watermark was at a higher resolution than you would find on a typical letterhead. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired about the ability to use different colors. She expressed a preference for the current green, but didn't know if tan or beige needed to be the choice for the second color. .
