ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—November 30, 2009 8 <br /> 7B. Elmer L. Anderson Memorial Trail Sign Design (continued) <br /> favor of placing signage on the entire trail system and gave direction to the <br /> committee to focus on the Elmer L. Anderson Trail and on those trails that are <br /> difficult to identify as City operated. Since that time, Staff has been working with <br /> Derrek Hames on a design for the EAMT. In November of 2007, Ramsey County <br /> Parks and Recreation designated a portion of trail from Tony Schmidt Regional <br /> Park to County Road E2 as the Elmer L. Anderson Memorial Trail and have <br /> proposed to extend that to Mounds View High School in the Future. The Director, <br /> Greg Mack, has indicated that the County would be interested in looking at the <br /> approved City EAMT design and may consider installing something similar on their <br /> portion of the EAMT. <br /> Mr. Derrek Hames, 1839 Venus Avenue, Arden Hills, described the sign design <br /> and the difference between a regular trail sign and a memorial sign. He provided <br /> the Council with a three dimensional scale of the proposed signs. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that the wording on the six-foot scale could not be <br /> read. He asked what this would say. <br /> Mr. Hames clarified that the final wording would be a story or brief history about <br /> Elmer Anderson and/or the trail. This portion has not been finalized. The model <br /> only shows where the final copy would be placed. <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated the primary entrance signs would be <br /> placed at Cleveland Avenue and Glen Paul and the secondary sign would be at <br /> Indian Place and County Road E. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked what would be included in the $15,000 that was <br /> budgeted for this item. <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated the $15,000 is an estimate that the <br /> PTRC is trying to meet. Until there are more specifications regarding the signs an <br /> accurate quote cannot be obtained. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the parks portion of the sign would be permanent <br /> or if they would be able to change this portion based on the City's trail system and <br /> future changes. <br /> Mr. Hames stated that this portion would be removable and could be changed. <br />
