The School has specifically requested that the City participate in the purchase of a banner for the event. Staff is recommending that the funds for the banner be donated to the School and that the School purchase and display the banner." Mayor Grabek added, "I have learned, that should the donation be approved, it may not be possible to put a banner across Highway 12 as originally proposed. The Committee has suggested that whatever funds are raised be used to design and construct a large, 8' x 12' painted sign that can be used year after year. The sign would be placed at the intersection of Highway 12 and Old Crystal Bay Road. City staff would assist with the placement of the sign to assure that it meets all requirements and does not pose any sight problems."

Bernhardson noted that inclusion of the revised Building Code will not result in any changes to the existing fee schedule. is Councilmember Callahan asked whether the revised Building Code clarifies the gray areas involved with structure heights. Mabusth said, "The Building Code does make reference to structure heights as does the City's Zoning Code." Callahan asked whether it would be possible to revise the Building Code to more specifically address the issue of structure height. Mabusth replied, "It is a long, tedious process that must be undertaken to amend the Minnesota State Building Code. The Building Code is amended by Public Hearings that occur at the annual ICBO convention. 'If we.wished to amend the height element of -the Building Code we would have to send our Building Inspector to the convention. However I believe that we could address your concerns by clarifying the City's Zoning Code." Callahan asked what steps he would have to take to have the Zoning Cdde revised. - 19 -
