Supervisors approve $15,450 ARPA payment for Wonder on Buxton signage; one abstention recorded
Summary
The board approved paying a $15,450 invoice for signage for the Wonder on Buxton project from remaining ARPA funds; one supervisor abstained because of an affiliation with Main Street, and staff said the direct invoice payment will leave roughly $4,500 in the fund.
County staff presented an invoice and project plan for signage tied to the Wonder on Buxton project and asked the board to authorize an ARPA payout. The board approved payment of a $15,450 invoice from ARPA funds; one supervisor abstained because of a Main Street board affiliation.
Presenters at a previous work session included Doug Byland, Melissa Sones and Erica Roberts, who described a six‑foot logo sign and a custom three‑dimensional sign. County finance staff (Mikayla and Megan) received the invoices. A board member asked whether to pay the full $20,000 award or pay the invoice directly; staff recommended paying the invoice directly. A supervisor noted, “I would say just pay the invoice directly,” and staff confirmed the invoice total of $15,450 and estimated that would leave just over $4,500 in the ARPA fund allocated to the project.
Supervisor Harrison asked whether he should abstain because of his service on the Main Street board; after indicating the conflict he withdrew his earlier motion and later formally abstained. The board voted on the motion to pay the invoice; the motion carried with four votes in favor and one abstention.
The board recorded the payment authorization and directed county staff to process the invoice for payment from the designated ARPA allocation. No further conditions or reporting requirements were specified in the meeting discussion.
