Motion carried 4 -0. <br />10.2 Wayfpn6ng Program <br />Ms. Gardner presented the staff report. She reviewed option 1A and 1B using <br />touches of the city logo and options 2A and 2B incorporating parts of the city logo. <br />Mayor Dietz stated he prefers option 2B with the logo and the river rock. He <br />questioned if something could be put behind the logo and the Powered by Nature so <br />they are more visible. <br />Councilmember Wagner explained that from a sheer branding and aesthetic stance, <br />she prefers the limestone because it looks nice, blends well, and coordinates with the <br />River's Edge Commons Park. She further explained she also appreciates sticking <br />with the river rock to keep with Elk River heritage. She agreed the logo and Powered <br />by Nature are difficult to see on the river rock. <br />Councilmember Burandt concurred with Councilmember Wagner that she is torn <br />between options 2A and 2B. She indicated if option 2B is chosen, she would like to <br />see something put behind the elk and the Powered by Nature so they are more <br />noticeable. <br />Councilmember Olsen concurred he would like to see the logo and the Powered by <br />Nature changed to stick out more. <br />Mayor Dietz indicated he believes it is important to maintain the logo because it has <br />become a symbol for Elk River and he expects it to be a symbol for many years. He <br />stated he prefers the river rock that is native to Elk River but agreed that something <br />should be done to make the elk logo and the Powered by Nature stick out more. He <br />explained Elk River is doing a poor job marketing itself because there are four main <br />entrances and currently only one monument sign. He added he would like the four <br />main entrance signs to be a priority, <br />Ms. Gardner stated the four locations for placement of the signs were mapped out <br />during the wayfinding process. She added that negotiations may be required to <br />acquire some of the property. <br />POiEEREI gY <br />
