City Council Meeting Minutes February 16, 2021 Page 6 of 8 Councilmember Lipton added Councilmembers are not design experts and we should look at the policy of the project not the specific design elements. Councilmember Dickinson agreed. Councilmember Brown stated he agrees we need more signage to help people find businesses and other locations in town and he supports the project. Mayor Stolzmann stated she does not object to moving forward but the signs that are put up must be legible and that they may be modified from what we are looking at tonight to make them useful and consistent citywide. If the project becomes too much for existing staff to do additional staff should be brought on and that paid for by the LRC. Councilmember Fahey stated she supports the project if the signs are clearly readable and consistent Citywide. The consensus was to move the project forward knowing sign design changes might be necessary and if additional staff is needed, the LRC will pay for it.
