Proposed Signs for City Entrance and City Hall <br />City Administrator Larson showed slides of a proposed sign design from Arrow Sign. He <br />stated that this will fit in the space where the current sign is in front of the City Hall. It has <br />also been proposed to have a message board below it. He added that they could either use <br />real brick or a plastic product that looks like brick. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that he had also received a proposal for Centerville's <br />entry sign. <br />Mayor Capra inquired whether they could wait and look at this at the end of the year. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that the total of the signs proposed would <br />amount to over $70,000. <br />Councilmember Lee suggested that the City only do one of these signs per year. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that the Council will have to approve the budget <br />at their next meeting. She suggested having Finance Director John Meyer come back with <br />the impact of $40,000 for the sign, and an additional $15,000 for an entry sign on the <br />City's budget. <br />Councilmember Paar stated that the Council is already fighting the budget for the street <br />maintenance. He suggested that this may have to wait until there is extra money. He <br />stated that they could get the free sign from Anoka County for Centerville Road. He added <br />that the City should look at this when Highway 14 is completed and the building and <br />developing are completed. <br />Councilmember Lakso stated that she felt the most crucial sign would be the sign coming <br />west on Highway 14 to welcome people into Centerville. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Councilmember Lee stated that he agreed with Councilmember Lakso.
