Department Approval: <br />ITEM.- 1 3 . d <br />Manager Reviewed: <br />Item Description: Recommendation for "Welcome to Roseville"' Signs Concepts <br />Background: The Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission has finished <br />their work on the "Welcome to Roseville"' sign recommendation. At their January meeting,, they <br />approved a concept for the sign; and at an earlier they had recommended three locations to be <br />considered. The locations recommended are at the northern border of Roseville on Snelling <br />Avenue and Lexington Avenue, and as one would enter the city from the east on Highway 36. <br />These recommended locations were based on visibility, traffic counts and available space. <br />Discussion: We have attached a sign concept as recommended by PWETC. Staff has worked <br />with local vendors on the concept welcome signs. The concept is similar to the existing park <br />signs, which is a look the Commission requested. This is only a concept, and it can be altered <br />based on additional input. We have also received cost estimates based on a four foot by eight <br />foot typical sign. The cost for each installation is approximately $,4500 depending on the number <br />of posts in the mounting scheme. This does not include any additional landscaping or ongoing <br />maintenance of landscaping. The size for each sign may have to be adjusted for fit and <br />readability at each location. The empty panel at the bottom of the sign would be used to attach <br />service organizations logos. Several service organizations are interested in placing their logo on <br />these signs. Additional discussion with the Council with these groups is necessary to establish <br />any financial participation from them. We anticipate a member or members representing these <br />organizations will be present at your meeting. <br />Councilmember Roe also requested additional information on small identification signs that <br />some cities install in locations where space is limited. We will have pictures and costs of those <br />signs for your meeting. <br />Financial Considerations: These signs are not currently budgeted. We anticipate you will want <br />to discuss the concept sign, costs, and service group logo fee. We have attached the minutes from <br />the January PVvTTC discussion of this item. <br />Recommended Council Action: <br />Council discussion of the PWETC recommendation for Welcome to Roseville signs and further <br />direction to staff. <br />Prepared By.- Duane Schwartz <br />
