City Council Minutes Page 7 <br /> July 1,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Councilmember Westgaard expressed concerns with creep from the standard,noting <br /> there are other more natural parks that may have pavilions in the future. He <br /> questioned if there would be a push for differing colors then. He stated he would <br /> prefer one standard color but didn't have a preference between red or a natural <br /> color. He agreed consistency is important and helps draw people and shows <br /> everything belongs to the same city. <br /> Councilmember Christianson asked why there can't be two colors in the standards; a <br /> natural color for nature parks and red for more social parks. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard suggested choosing one nature tone color for all the <br /> pavilions. <br /> Parks and Recreation Commissioner Dave Anderson discussed an earth tone red <br /> versus a bright red. He believes the city could have a standard shelter design but feels <br /> the roof color can be differing. He suggested the downtown structures be red but the <br /> Woodland Trails Committee felt strongly the roof should be earth toned. <br /> Councilmember Wagner suggested if a design is not going to be agreed upon tonight <br /> that this item be scrapped and reviewed again so Cour � doesn't break its own rules. <br /> She discussed the need for brandin and consistency. <br /> Mayor Dietz felt everything else with the pavilion design shouldn't be scrapped if the <br /> roof is the only issue. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated a brand can be built utilizing differing colors but it <br /> hasn't been vetted. <br /> ' . <br /> Councilmember Wagner discussed the plan for the city has a whole and how <br /> branding with the red sends a strong message and creates a wow factor. She stated it <br /> lets you know where you are and that you are in Elk River. She stated the natural <br /> roof creates a different meaning and is not a keystone look. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Wagner to approve a standardized pavilion design <br /> for parks that are consistent with the framing and a red roof design standard. <br /> Motion dies for lack of a second. <br /> Council continued this item to a future meeting so staff can bring back true <br /> renderings of options for pavilion design. <br /> 8.6 Discuss Work Session Items <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> The following were requested as future work session items: <br /> UREJ <br />
