Report regarding Highway 10 Entry Sign Repair

On May 25, 1993, the City Council approved $3,000 toward the capital construction cost of a sign on the norteast corner of Alpine and Highway 10 that advertises the Northfork Links for the westbound traffic and "Welcome to the City of Ramsey" for the eastbound traffic.  The City participated in the project provided that Northfork assumed regular maintenance of the sign, which they have for the last 25 years.

The sign face is now in need of replacement and it is proposed that the City share in the expense of replacing the sign faces (see attached drawing).   The City graphics have been updated to be consistent with our current logo and branding graphics.  Under the proposal, normal routine maintenance of the sign would continue to be the responsibility of Northfork.  

The attached quote to repair both sign faces is $5,625 for both sides.  It is proposed that the city split this cost.  The proposal is to expend up to $3,000 to allow for any micellaneous installation cost not accounted for in the quote.

The project would be ordered by The Northfork Links and the City would provide reimbursement for 50% of the costs, not to exceed $3,000, based upon actual reciepts. 

Funding would come from the city marketing and promotions accounts.
