Commission approves up to $10,000 for Liberty Theater sign incidentals; visitors center to fund sign itself
Summary
The Lawrenceburg Redevelopment Commission approved up to $10,000 to cover incidentals for an externally funded Liberty Theater sign; the sign cost itself will be covered by the Visitor Center and the Chamber of Commerce is involved in the project.
The Lawrenceburg Redevelopment Commission voted to authorize up to $10,000 to cover incidentals for the installation of a new sign for the Liberty Theater.
Meeting discussion identified the Greater Lawrenceburg Visitor Center as covering the cost of the sign itself, which staff estimated at about $26,000 to $33,000. Commissioners discussed paying incidentals such as brackets and electric hookups. Staff initially referenced $5,000 as the likely incidental cost but said the executive director wanted a higher not-to-exceed amount to avoid returning to the commission mid-installation; commissioners ultimately approved up to $10,000 to provide a cushion.
The authorization was described at the meeting as covering electric work, mounting brackets, and related installation incidentals. The transcript records a motion to approve the expenditure and a subsequent voice vote in which the chair declared the motion passed.
The meeting record does not include a signed contract with the Visitor Center, a vendor estimate for the incidentals, or a detailed line-item budget; staff indicated the precise incidental costs were not yet known. The transcript also notes involvement or coordination with the Chamber of Commerce on the project.
