City Council Minutes Page 8 <br /> September 16,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> 9.6 Rivers Edge Commons Park Alcohol Policy <br /> Mr. Benoit presented the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Ovall requested staff use the same benchmark cities when <br /> conducting surveys. <br /> Council consensus was to eliminate the department policy regarding alcohol in <br /> Rivers Edge Commons Park and not to change the city ordinance. <br /> 9.7 Park Shelter Branding <br /> Mr. Hecker presented the staff report. He noted staff would prefer a black frame on <br /> the shelters because it's easier to maintain and hide vandalism. <br /> Parks and Recreation Commission Chair Dave Anderson explained the commission <br /> would like discretion to pick a roof color on a park by park basis. He noted he feels <br /> it is important for the roof color option to go along with their partnered frame color <br /> noting the stone cannot be spray painted if they are vandalized. <br /> Councilmember Christianson indicated it is not important to him to have identical <br /> structures are every park and he sees no issue with having three color options. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated she would like to see one color used for branding <br /> and consistency. She indicated the city is spending$35 million in improvements and <br /> this is the perfect way to create a memorable impression. She added she would like <br /> to see red shelters to continue off the pieces already downtown. She doesn't believe <br /> having multiple color, ptionsu rld going back to the commission each time is a good <br /> ide �, <br /> Mayor Dietz indicated he doesnt have an issue with any of the three colors <br /> presented as long as all the structures are consistent. He does not have an issue going <br /> back to the Parks and Recreation Commission to choose a roof color each time a <br /> shelter is constructed. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard believes the shelters should be one design and one color <br /> in order to show the image of who we are. He would like the design, frame color, <br /> roof color, and stone on the pillars to all be consistent. <br /> Councilmember Ovall explained he was originally leaning towards having three color <br /> options but after hearing Councilmember Wagner's explanation he has changed his <br /> mind and is leaning towards one color option with the black frame. He noted he was <br /> originally concerned about only having a 10-year warranty on the red but it seems to <br /> be holding up fine downtown. <br /> UREJ <br />
