Community Development Director Aguilera reported the City had negotiated a settlement with the Adams Sign Company, which required the company to pay all attorney fees and build a billboard which the Ctiy could use at its discretion. Mr. Adams has paid all fees and he is prepared tonight to share with the Council his concept of the copy that is to be placed on the billboard. Director Aguilera stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the billboard copy with the condition that the logo be changed to the "HUB City" logo. An alternative display with a green background was also presented; however, the Commission preferred the original design as selected. Director Aguilera stated the billboard will be located along the I-215 corridor south of the Washington Street off -ramp, it will contain a back-to-back logo, the sign is put up in panels and can be stored, allowing the City to lease the sign and produce revenue. RV Expo has expressed interest in leasing space. Moved by Council Member Roman, seconded by Council Member Lofy, to approve the design presented with the lettering in yellow. Unanimous vote.
