<br />Mr. Gcinde1 stated.that the ownership group is not a big fan of things like the big.gorilla on the <br />roof or the dancing guys. He ~tated that their perception is that this "dumbs" down the building. <br /> <br />Member Kiefer stated that the electrical costs appear high to him. <br />- . <br /> <br />Mr. Hebert stated that the costs are higher because they will need to go through the asphalt and <br />concrete. <br /> <br />Member Jeffrey asked if the ownership group was willing to have community events advertised <br />on the LED signs; <br /> <br />Mr. Gandel stated that he would be happy to bring this suggestion to them. <br /> <br />Member Jeffrey stated that his feeling is, if the City participates in the costs of the signs, that the <br />. trailer signs have got to go. . <br /> <br />Mr. Gandel stated that will be fine. and noted that those signs do not meet City code anyway. <br /> <br />Member Elvig stated that they don't, but the signs have still been on site. <br /> <br />Mr. Gandel stated that there is no on-site management of this building and agreed that sometimes <br />the tenants have taken liberties. He stated that there. is. a lease and the ownership group will <br />enforce these things if they are aware oftherri. He agreed that they have been more liberal lately, <br />but noted that if th~ City moves. forward with this project, they will see that the leases are <br />eDforced to the "T". . <br /> <br />Member Kiefer noted that the temporary trailer signs are allowed in the City for short periods of <br />time. . <br /> <br />Member Jeffrey note:d that they are allowed,. if the user has gott~n a permit. <br /> <br />Member Elvig asked if there needed to be 3 bids for the signs if the City was going to participate <br />in costs. . <br /> <br />. Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan stated that as long as the City is only reimbursing <br />them for a portion of the project, there does not need to be 3 bids. <br /> <br />Member Elvig asked if the City was going to participate, whether there was a .better sigh. or <br />approach, such as the earlier suggestion of the multi-colored LED sign. <br /> <br />Mr. Hebert stated that depending on the City's partiCipation, they could potentially take a look at <br />taking their sign a step further. He stated that the difference between.the red LED lig;h.t and full <br />spectrum LED is .siinilar to the difference in teleyision technoiogy with the tube technology <br />. versus HD technology, He stated that because they are using the existing pylon, the size and <br />dimensions will stay the same. <br /> <br />Economic Development AuthoritylMarch 20, 2008 <br />Page 6 of8 <br /> <br />-:137- <br />
