Summary
The board approved replacing building lettering with a Fenton City Hall sign and separate community development identification; members asked staff to request the county pay to reinstall the police-department shield on the building.
The Board voted to proceed with new exterior lettering for the government center: "Fenton City Hall" on the main city-hall façade and a separate "Community Development" sign for the adjacent office. The board selected Fitzsinger for the primary lettering work and asked staff to request that St. Louis County cover the cost of reinstalling the police shield graphic; if the county declines, the board asked staff to obtain the second vendor's quote to supply and mount the shield.
Aldermen said the current window signage is hard to see from the road and that adding clear, lit lettering will reduce public confusion about which building houses city hall and which houses community development. Fitzsinger's quote covers the lettering only; the shield maker (a different vendor who works with the county) was identified as the preferable supplier for the police badge because of template compatibility. The board's motion to proceed with Fitzsinger and to ask the county for payment of the shield passed on a voice vote.
