MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 9, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 21 of 22 (CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT, Continued) Loftus stated it is representative of the park signs but that it does not resemble the signs that have been erected by the various businesses in the nearby area. Levang stated she likes the offset of the sign since it draws people’s attention to it a little more. Loftus stated in her view the new signage will be more effective in directing people to either City Hall or the Public Works Department than what currently exists. Levang asked if there would be plantings around the sign. Loftus stated she believes the City’s sign regulation requires some plantings. Bremer stated her preference would be to align the signs up center with the monument and that the offset may appear to be outdated in a few years even though it may be architecturally trendy at the present time. Printup stated he also would prefer the signs to be centered. Loftus stated they are also attempting to find a good location for the sign to ensure the sign is not too close to the trail but yet still visible. Levang stated in her view the sign needs to be visible and does what it is supposed to do, which is direct people to the building. *21. LICENSES AND PERMITS Transient Merchant License 1.
