Dear Brad:
In response to our meeting with the MGM representatives Friday
afternoon, I am not totally convinced that an agreement cannot be
reached for a new awning sign. They stressed several times that
they.do not want to be portrayed as an unnegotiable party. In
addition, it was learned that MGM has never been formally
presented with a new awning sign to replace their existing one.
In this vein, I would suggest that a more serious attempt be made
with MGM to get them to agree to a sign the City Council would
find acceptable. This would be one of a type similar to the
proposed Snyder Bros. and Hardware Hank awning signs. An item
that should be stressed is that these awnings contain a lettering
ban four feet in height, which is the same dimension as the
"liquor warehouse" lettering.
Lastly, I would also recommend that you come to the 26 February
City Council meeting with this proposal firmly made to MGM and a
written response from them indicating their position. This would
allow the Council to make an informed decision regarding your
sign proposal (whatever it might be) by knowing where all
parties involved stand. Furthermore, the Council has been
informed by separate memorandum of the discussions held last week
with both MGM and LeSalon.
