Sigzzage Meeting July 2,2003 Councilmember Tom Kough, Arnie Albrecht, Polly Franlce, James Moses, Sid Ryals, Carolyn Curti Councilmember Kough said that the Roseville Visitors Association wants to hold off committing any money until a�t�r the Council malces a decision. He reviewed the discussion from the June 16 City Council meeting. Councilmember Craig Klausing raised questions about liability to the City in limiting whose organizations are on the si�na��. Councilmember Schroeder raised questions about maintenance and upkeep. The Council also discussed what to do about graffiti. Tom explained that he had a few modifications to the sign that would help answer some of the City Councilmembers concerns. He reminded everyone that the signs would be made of the latest technology that resists graffiti. He said each sign would be divided into two separate panels, one with the Welcome to Roseville and the other with the logos. Then, if a portion of the sign was damaged it would be cheaper to replace. Toms sad he would aslc all donors to commit to "Adopt a Sign" at least until December 2005. Each service organization would loolc afier one sign and would wash away any graffiti and would report any maj or damage to the City. In 2006 the City could decide whether to remove or replace the logos. Participants agreed that they would support the "Adopt a Sign" program. They also said that they doubted that vandalism or graffiti would be a big problem since the signs would be placed in well lighted, high traffic areas. Other cities have signs and then don't seern to have �r�1�l�an�. Tom explained that he has been worlcing on this issue for several months. He was thinlcing about the idea of Welcome to Roseville signs when a member of the Lions Club approached him saying he wanted to erect a sign but City Code prohibited it. Tom tallced with him and other service organizations. Polly Franlce asked why the Rotary was not included on the initial list. Tom said he would contact them. Amie Albrecht aslced what the criteria are to get a logo on a sign. What is a defmition of a service organization? Carolyn will tallc with the City Attorney to malce sure that we correctly define who to include. Amie said that he is supposed to bring informationto the next Kiwanis meeting because some members are concerned that this is becoming a political issue. Carolyn will send him a rough draft of the Request for Council Action which, hopefulZy, answers their questions. The Kiwanis plan to discuss the issue very soon so Carolyn will send a draft by July 8. Tom aslced the participants to attend the July 21 City Council meeting and to bring their fellow members of their groups.
