<br />Memo <br />City Council <br />Tobacco-Free Parks & Trails Policy <br />2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />minimizing 'sign pollution' and saving time and money on locates and the installation of sign <br />posts. Any additional park signage requests would be submitted by Staff to the PTRC for review <br />and then forwarded to the City Council for approval. Trail signage would be limited to a trail <br />head or the intersection of two trails. Signage could be installed on cxisting sign posts. Any <br />additional trail signage requests would be submitted by Staff to the PTRC for review and then <br />forwarded to the City Council for approval. Staff is estimating that 22 signs would be required <br />for City parks and 25 for trails, for a combined total of 47 signs. <br /> <br />The Budf!.et <br />Currently there are no designated funding sources for this project in the 2005 CIP Budget or in <br />the General Fund. The' Tobacco Free' signage will be supplied, free of charge, by the Ramsey <br />Tobacco Coalition and the members of PACT will provide the labor to install the signs. City <br />Staff will provide the labor for 'locates' of utilities by submitting a work order to Gopher-One <br />and then physically going out to the location site to mark the City's utilities. Estimated Staff <br />costs are based on approximately three hours of work at a cost not to exceed $60.50. In <br />addition, the City will supply the posts for the signage. These sign posts are leftover posts from <br />the City of Arden Hills equipment inventory. Some of these posts are too short for regulatory <br />strcct signage because they were damaged by a snow plow, a car or vandalism. While the City <br />made an initial investment to purchase the posts for a specific purpose, the current condition of <br />the posts no longer allows the posts to be used for the its' originally intended purpose. In <br />addition, 0 & M Staff will seek assistance from Ramsey County Public Works in securing their <br />extra non regulation posts. Ramsey County Public Works indicated that they would supply their <br />'extra' posts at no cost to the City. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Requested Council Action <br />Review the submitted draft policy, provide feedback and direct Staff to bring the policy to the <br />September 12, 2005 Council meeting for approval. <br /> <br />. <br />
