Further discussion: Mayor Gamec stated Mr. Meyenburg has been an excellent employee and very helpful. Interim City Administrator Nelson stated Mr. Meyenburg has been a real asset in the building.

Case #7: Report from Public Works Committee 1) Consider Request for Placement of Monument Sign in Street ROW City Engineer Jankowski stated Oakwood Land Development submitted a sign permit application for an entrance/monument sign for the Brookfield Subdivision. The proposed location of the sign is in the center median on 170th Avenue NW, the main entrance to the development off of Nowthen Blvd, which falls within the public road right-of-way. The sign permit has not been issued because currently, City Code does not allow signs to be placed or constructed within the public road right-of-way. The City Attorney has recommended against permitting a sign in the right-of-way. Planning Staffhas acknowledged that the sign would be an aesthetic benefit. The consensus of the Public Works Committee was that the developer should proceed with applying for a conditional use permit through the Planning Commission to place the sign in the right-of-way, with conditions included in the permit. No action required. 2) Consider Modification to the Municipal State Aid System City Engineer Jankowski stated staff reviewed the existing MSA system with the Committee and proposed the addition of a new segment, 173rd Avenue (County Highway 63) between Armstrong Blvd and Variolite Street to the City's MSA system.
