After an AV-Tech experiment to dim stop sign lights failed, the board opted not to purchase timed signs, citing prior spending of $9,280 for four signs and choosing to leave the signage as-is.

The board heard from Operations Manager Shane Willis that AV-Tech’s experiment to control the brightness of stop-sign lights was unsuccessful and the vendor declined to modify the signs further. Willis reported the previously incurred cost for four stop signs totaled $9,280, or $2,320 per sign, as recorded in the unaudited financial statements.
