<br />Regular Council Meeting , . , <br />6/19/95 <br />Page 9 <br />The representative from Ostendorf Morris said we wouldn't put our money <br />into it if we didn't think so. We are paying for the sign. He thinks the other <br />side of it is if you look at 150 people in about a$30,000 average, you are <br />looking at a payroll that runs into about 4.5 million dollars. The City will <br />keep 1% of that (that's $45,000 minimum.) He thinks the reality is the long <br />you defer, the longer it will take to come to pass. <br />Mr. Fixler asked how long the building has been vacant. <br />Tom Gustafson, a representative from Ostendorf Morris said approximately, <br />he thinks, almost 2 years. <br />Mr. Fixler addressed Mr. Ferrante--he said he did not believe Home Federal <br />would be asking for a temporary sign; he believes they would be asking for a <br />permanent one. He agreees with Mr. Ferrante wholeheartedly--if this was in <br />the interfacing of town (like Revco or Home Bank), he would not be in favor <br />of this at all. Because of the 9-month time limit situation, he supposes if we <br />heard a lot of objections from our constituents about that, once the 9 months <br />is up, they probably would not get it renewed (if it passed.) <br />Mr. Buckholtz said he thought we discussed an alternative to the current <br />sign--something without the colors in it. <br />Mr. Fixler said the discussion was if you could make it the blue and white <br />without the colors. <br />Tom Gustafson, a representative from Ostendorf-Morris said they have <br />worldwide recognition with this exact color scheme. <br />Mr. Fixler said he will entertain a motion to grant a sign variance to the <br />Ostendorf Morris Company for a 9-month time limit. <br />Mrs. Cinco, seconded by Mr. Buckholtz, made a motion to grant a sign <br />variance to Ostendorf-Morris for the color of a temporary sign for Ostendorf <br />Morris Company with a 9-month time limit from the time of application. , <br />?
