F The matter of the "Climate Best by Government Test" sign was discussed and the City Manager reported he had received no reply from'the Shell Oil Company in response to his request for permission to locate one section of'the sign over their property at the intersection of Main Street and E1'Camino Real. He'also reported the State Highway Com- 1 mission had again refused his request to erect the sign over the high - 'way at this -'location. 'He further reported the installation'of the framework for the erection of the sign at Claremont Avenue and E1 Camino Real was near completion and that he believed a two-faced sign should be installed here instead of a single"face sign. The Council agreed that a two-faced'sign,at this location would be desirable and directed that the present sign be installed at this location and a new sign'purchased for erection at the south end of the city. Building Inspector Duncan reported in connection with the Kuck Building, he had advertised for bids with no response. Antone Peterson, employed by Miss Kuck to remodel the building, asked the Council to reconsider its action to have the building abated and to permit moving it further back on the property. Councilman McNulty, seconded by Councilman Chris- tensen, offered a motion allowing the building to be moved back on the lot, provided work was started in ten days and completed within sixty days. Motion carried'with Councilman Fletcher voting "No". Discussing the proposed moving of this building, Mr. Peterson stated that he in- . tended to move it just back of the fire zone line. 'In this respect, FCouncilman Fletcher, in line with previous discussion, offered a motion that the building be moved to the corner of Hancock and Spruce Streets or the abatement proceedings stand. -Motion seconded by Councilman Granger and carried.
