Thersia RoLynitsch/Si2na2e on Highway 97
Ms. Rognitsch who operates Tom's Pumpkins in Franconia Township expressed her concerns
about the Sign Ordinance of New Scandia Township, which is prohibiting her signage on
Highway 97. She stated that this is a farming community and the signs are needed to direct
customers. Ms. Annette Gilbertson also stated that 50% of her business is derived from signage
on Highway 97.
Ms. Rognitsch and Ms. Gilbertson were informed that the Signage Ordinance has been reviewed
and the Township will be holding a Public Hearing in the near future and should be present to
present their input at the hearing.
LiLhting for the LiLyhted Ballpark
The following quotes were received for new Lighting at the Scandia Ballpark:
Illum-A-Nation Architectural Outdoor Lighting, LLC $45,000.00 for wood poles, $47,400.00
and $50,700.00.
Web Electric $40,590.00 wood poles and $49,995.00 for steel poles.
Lisa Crum would present this proposal to the Park and Recreation Committee. The one quote
was over $50,000.00 if the township would use the proposal of steel poles instead of wood poles,
so therefore the township would be required to have seal bids for the project. The township office
was directed to contact Bonestro Engineering regarding fees to draw plans and specifications for
the bidding process.
