Councilmember Kuzma stated that he prefers the larger dynamic display as traffic on Highway <br /> 10 is moving at higher speeds and therefore the larger display will be more visible. He explained <br /> that The COR is not highly visible from Highway 10 and therefore it is important to have <br /> signage to pull in traffic from the highway. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich stated that she had no trouble reading the previous dynamic display on <br /> the Highway 10 sign and that is why she would not support the larger dynamic display. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau noted that the City was limited on the content that could be put on the <br /> previous dynamic display because of the size and therefore sometimes although the sign was <br /> readable, the full message could sometimes not be communicated to drivers. He asked for <br /> information on funding for the signage. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill explained that this item was not included in the <br /> general fund budget and would be funded through the facilities fund. He explained that the <br /> facilities fund receives distributions from excess revenue at the end of the year and is used for <br /> facility improvements. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau noted that this would then not impact the 2019 budget and levy. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich asked for additional details on the facilities fund and how that fund can <br /> be used. She asked if the money in that fund could be used for the construction of a public <br /> works facility. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich confirmed the fund could be used for that purpose. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked for information on the sign location in regard to future <br /> construction of Highway 10 improvements. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the Ramsey Boulevard sign will need to <br /> be relocated when that project occurs but noted that the sign can be disassembled and <br /> reassembled when the project occurs. He stated that the Highway 10 sign location would not <br /> need to be moved under the current planning scenarios. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the City has done anything to create barriers to the sign, <br /> referencing the recent vehicle accident that occurred. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the City has not looked at additional <br /> barriers as the sign is located a large distance from the road and the recent accident is very <br /> unique. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #19-107 Authorizing Payments for Highway 10 Signage Updates. <br /> City Council/July 9,2019 <br /> Page 7 of 13 <br />
