Postponement of Ordinance No. 057, 2010,Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund for the
Coca-Cola and Angell's Delicatessen Sign Located on Mountain Avenue Indefinitely.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 18, 2010, Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 057, 2010, on First Reading. On June 15, Council
approved a postponement of the Second Reading of this Ordinance until July 20, 2010. Council had requested
additional information on the choices and methodology for restoration of the Coca-Cola and Angell's Delicatessen
"Ghost"signs. Additional information has since been received from National Park Service conservators regarding the
proposed sealant, Acryloid B72, raising questions about its appropriateness for this use; the author of Preservation
Brief No.25,"The Preservation of Historic Signs,"has changed his opinion on appropriate treatments since publication
of the brief; and the stakeholders are not unified in their choice of how the signs should ultimately be restored. Staff
needs additional time to thoroughly investigate treatment methodologies and coordinate restoration options between
the large numbers of stakeholders in this project. Staff requests postponement of the Second Reading of this
ordinance until such time as staff has complete information to present to Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends postponement of adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading indefinitely.
