2 <br />on this design. Derrek is an Arden Hills resident who designed the City logo and has been <br />involved in numerous design proj ects for the City. After review of the proposed design, <br />the City Council passed a motion to direct staff to move forward with the proposed design <br />for the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail Signage and authorize staff to proceed into the <br />production of detailed sign specifications to allow for accurate quotes and final review. At <br />that time, Ramsey County Parks and Recreation had indicated that they may be interested <br />in looking at the approved City EAMT design and may consider installing something <br />similar on their portion of the EAMT, to allow for consistency. Council directed staff to <br />review the design with the Elmer L. Andersen family and Ramsey County Parks and <br />. <br />Recreatlon. <br />Since that time, Staff and Derrek Hames have been working with Emily and Julian <br />Andersen, the children of Elmer L. Andersen on the factual information for the sign. The <br />family has worked closely with the designer, PTRC Chair and Parks and Recreation <br />Manger to �nalize the Elmer L. Andersen text and photo. In addition, staff worked closely <br />with Ken Wehrle and Greg Mack at Ramsey County Parks and Recreation on the text and <br />layout for the smaller pillar. Ramsey County has indicated that they have excess grant <br />money available for park signage that they will be utilizing to purchase one six foot sign <br />for the Lake Johanna entry to the EAMT. This funding expires on June 30, 2010. Ramsey <br />County has asked to be invoiced for their signage shortly after Council approval in order to <br />meet this deadline. <br />The Elmer L. Andersen family has expressed their appreciation for dedicating this trail to <br />their father and is honored to have been included in the design process for this signage. <br />They have sent numerous emails stating their gratitude to the City and County and look <br />forward to the installation of the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Signage. Both Julian and <br />Emily Andersen spent significant time producing the information for the �nal design. If <br />the signage is approved tonight, the PTRC has expressed interest in planning a dedication <br />ceremony for the EAIVIT, after installation. The Andersen family has expressed interest in <br />attending this event. Julian resides in Seattle and Emily in Connecticut. It will be <br />important for staff to work with the family to pick an appropriate date for a dedication <br />ceremony. Depending on the completion date, this event could be planned for the fall. <br />Derrek Hames also worked with the University of Minnesota Archives to acquire copyright <br />permission for use of the chosen photo. Acquiring copyright can sometimes be a <br />signi� cant fee. However, the University of Minnesota provided this to the City at no cost. <br />The only request they had was that the photo have the following text underneath wherever <br />it is used: Photo courtesy of the University of Minnesota Archives, University of <br />Minnesota — Twin Cities. <br />Included for Council review is a design portfolio with photos and diagrams. Derrek Hames <br />has provided a model of the final design and will be present for questions and comments. <br />I IMetro-inet. us l ardenhills IPR�PWIParks tMemos I Council Memos 106142010 Elmer Andersen Memorial Trail <br />sign design. doc <br />
