Mayor Gamec said the Lions Club should get together with City Staff <br />on the size of the letters. <br />Motion by Councilman Sorteberg and seconded by Councilman Mickelson <br />to accept the bulletin board sign for City Hall and thank the Lions <br />Club and give them authorization to proceed with installation. <br />Motion carried. Voting yes -Mayor Gamec, Councilmen Sorteberg, Reimann, <br />Mickelson and Cox. Voting no -None. <br />Mr. Hovland said the bottom part of the sign will be ten feet off <br />the ground, and the top part will be 17 feet in the air. <br />Councilman Cox asked how the city would handle the lighting. <br />Mayor Gamec said the city would have to take care of the lighting. <br />Councilman Cox asked how many letters came with the sign. <br />Mr. Hovland said about 300 letters came with the sign, which would <br />probably be more than is ever needed. <br />The locations of the directory signs to the commercial and industrial <br />districts in Ramsey would be: 1) Highway 47 & Industrial Boulevard, <br />2) Sunfish Lake Boulevard and 3) Ramsey Boulevard. <br />Mr. Hovland said the height of the signs is 18 feet with steel posts. <br />The cost is $1500 /sign. <br />Mayor Gamec suggested going ahead and adding this project to next <br />years budget. <br />Councilman Cox said it would not have to be paid for at this time <br />because the city can put in half now and the other half later. <br />Mayor Gamec said he thought it was a good idea and the city pays <br />for the frame work and the businesses pay for their name on it. <br />Mr. Hovland said they could go around and contact the businesses. <br />The cost of the frame work would be around 50% of the total cost. <br />Councilman Cox said he felt it should be done this fall. <br />Councilman Reimann suggested putting one up this year and working into <br />next year. <br />Motion by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman Sorteberg to <br />contract with Mr. Hovland to put up frame this fall at a cost of not <br />over $2,000. <br />Motion denied. Voting yes - Councilmen Sorteberg and Cox. Voting no- <br />Mayor Gamec, Councilmen Reimann and Mickelson. <br />Mayor Gamec said he would hate to have pillars stand there with no <br />business sign on it. He would like to wait until next year. <br />C /September 23, 1980 <br />Page 9 <br />
