purpose of this case is to ascertain if the Committee wishes to recommend to City Council to <br /> replace the entrance monument at this time. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if the sign would be lit. <br /> Parks &Assistant Public Works Director Mark Riverblood replied that this design did not call for <br /> the sign to be lit. He noted that the previous lit sign received a power drop from Super America <br /> and the gas station has changed ownership since that time. He noted that the intersection has a lot <br /> of light spill from the well-lit location and therefore lighting would not necessarily be needed. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that he prefers the aluminum design. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented that she also favors that design. She noted that this style <br /> does seem similar to Riversbend, which she likes. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if it would be possible to have a design similar to Riversbend <br /> with the faux timbers. <br /> Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Mark Riverblood replied that they could, but they may <br /> look odd with the scale of this sign proposed. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the Riversbend sign uses the blue color that has been used in <br /> newer signage. <br /> Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Mark Riverblood replied on the colors that he recalled <br /> in the Riversbend sign and did not believe there was blue in that sign. <br /> Councilmember Specht commented that they have been discussing the consistency in branding <br /> and asked if that has been considered. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that the same logo and style is carried through as well as the sign <br /> design that they have chosen. He noted that the Highway 10 bridges will also have the City logo. <br /> Parks &Assistant Public Works Director Mark Riverblood commented on the time that was spent <br /> by the Council in developing the sign plan which does provide consistency at an affordable price <br /> range. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove referenced the landscaping and asked if they would add flowers or <br /> plantings that would need to be maintained. She recognized that there are plantings along 47 that <br /> require maintenance and that does add ongoing costs. <br /> Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Mark Riverblood replied that he did not put much <br /> thought into the landscape other than understanding that this area is impacted by salt and snow <br /> storage and does not have irrigation, therefore he believes that some type of minimal green <br /> landscaping could be added that may hold up better in those conditions. <br /> Public Works Committee/ October 17, 2023 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
