COUNCIL COMMENT Council member Brown asked for confirmation that the sign has been turned off. Planning Director Wood confirmed the sign has been turned off. Council member VanPelt asked about the limitation of monument signs. Planning Director Wood explained he has met with several business owners relative to business identification signage.

City Manager Simmons confirmed the City is working with the businesses along McCaslin on signage in neighborhood areas. Mayor Sisk stressed the importance of the LaMar's Donuts window signs being removed.

Those services included meeting with the former business owner and designing a new business sign. Staff requested the costs for those services be forwarded for payment. MOTION: Council member Keany moved that Council withdraw the agenda item and take no further action on the PUD Amendment, seconded by Council member Van Pelt. All in favor. APPROVAL OF GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE - LOUISVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY PROJECT Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd reported on March 11, Adolfson & Peterson, the Construction & General Contractor for the library project, received price estimates from subcontractors for the construction of the library building. Those prices were evaluated by A & P, Humphries Poli and Paul Wember and discussed with the City Staff during the week. The proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price is $7,611,665. The estimate is based on the 100% Design Development documents and will be calculated again when the construction drawings are 100% complete, which is scheduled to be at the end of May. The construction cost includes $25,000 to be spent on a bracing system for the north side of the building. The tie-back system will be used on the other three sides of the building to allow the foundation on the north side to be constructed without encroaching onto the neighbors' property, eliminating the need for a temporary construction easement with the property owners. 4
