With this renovated <br />sign, it was recommended by staff to relocate the monument allowing for ease of <br />visibility of the sign, location near the parking area, etc. Public Works Maintenance <br />Tech./Code Enforcement/Building Inspector, Mr. Dan Schmitz, who has chosen many <br />of the plantings and completed the work. He has revamped the plantings in the Laurie <br />LaMotte Memorial Park monument, along with its general upkeep, and now this <br />monument.
