He noted the current conceptual <br />plan for the museum has a place for this. This is the preservation of our history. It would <br />be penny wise and pound foolish to not buy the sign. <br />Councilmember Maloney felt there is a need for a plan and process for the sign before <br />dollars are committed. <br />Councilmember Leh stated he doesn't have a problem using HPF dollars for this <br />purpose, but is troubled by the lack of a plan and the way the sign was valued. He <br />agreed the sign is important and worth buying, but wondered if this plan is ready. <br />Councilmember Keany supports the purchase realizing there is no current plan; and <br />feels this would be a lost opportunity if not approved. He would rather be assured we <br />have the sign with no plan than lose the opportunity to save the sign <br />Director Zuccaro stated staff knows there are unanswered questions and noted the <br />owner is under no obligation to keep the sign Staff expedited this as quickly as possible <br />knowing there is no solid plan. The timing really required it be brought forward now <br />Mayor Muckle stated the fear of future costs is not a reason to let this historic artifact be <br />lost. <br />Roll call vote: Motion passed 4-3; no votes from Councilmember Maloney, <br />Councilmember Stolzmann, Mayor Pro Tem Lipton <br />Mayor Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 11, Series 2018; Councilmember Loo <br />seconded. <br />Councilmember Stolzmann stated she doesn't support this as she feels it does not meet <br />the review criteria specifically the size, height, location, design and appearance. She <br />feels the criteria must be met for her to support this. She noted the sign code needs re- <br />writing <br />
