Muscle Over the last two years, the City and Agency staff have pursued Mike's various alternatives for the removal of the Foster and Kleiser Billboard billboard at Muscle Mike's on West Redlands Boulevard. This is the last remaining advertising billboard in the City. It is staff's and legal counsel's conclusion that the most feasible and cost effective method for removal of this sign would be to provide compensation to the owner consistent with the operating Caltrans relocation schedule. Mr. Larsen moved that the Agency authorize a relocation settlement of $10,797.00 for the removal of the Foster and Kleiser billboard located at Muscle Mike's on Redlands Boulevard. Motion seconded by Mrs. Wormser and carried unanimously. Facade Over the last two years, the Redevelopment Advisory Commission Guidelines and Agency have addressed a variety of issues in the course of implementing the Commercial Facade Improvement Program. In the interest of clarity and efficiency in the administration of the Program, it is recommended the introductory statement of the guidelines be updated so as to reflect the Commission's and Agency's considered opinion on these matters. Mr. Larsen moved to approve the Revised Facade Assistance Program Guidelines as proposed. Motion seconded by Mrs. Wormser and carried unanimously.
