RE: Consideration of Approval for a Walter Mondale Legacy Sign at Long House
Landing
INTRODUCTION
Last year, the Minnesota State Legislature approved funding to add signage at several
overlooks and landings in honor of Walter F. Mondale and his role in the designation of the
St. Croix as a Wild and Scenic River. The bill had nearly unanimous legislative support and
some of the signage is already up including in William O’Brien State Park. It will also be
placed in national park areas, including Osceola landing. The effort to implement this
honorary effort was led by Scandia residents John Herman and Dan Willius, as well as John
Kaul and Peter Gove, who are two longtime river advocates.
This honoring effort includes the addition of a sign at Log House Landing. The State has
appropriated all of the funds for the costs of this sign, including for its manufacture and
installation. All that is required is that the City authorize its placement as the boat launch is
owned and operated by the City of Scandia.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize approval of placement of the sign at Log
House Landing.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
