DDA reviews final sign design, directs staff to pursue permits and site staking
Summary
Board members reviewed a final sign rendering that will match materials at the clock corner, discussed permit and staking steps, and instructed staff to move the project toward construction to meet fiscal-year timing.
The Burton Downtown Development Authority reviewed a final draft of a planned downtown welcome sign and directed staff to pursue permitting and stake the site so work can begin.
Board members saw a rendering showing materials matched to the clock-corner installation and a change from a curved cap to a flat cap for the “Welcome to” header because the chosen materials are less likely to accommodate a curved top. The design includes room for future landscaping and an electrical outlet for seasonal decorations.
Board members said they had met with City staff (referred to in the meeting as Earl/Mr. Dopp at Joey’s office) to urge progress. Members directed that DPW sign-permit work and utility-location staking (MISS DIG) be started; one member emphasized urgency because the fiscal year ends in June and they want construction underway this summer.
A contractor name (Streeter) and subcontracting arrangements were mentioned during the discussion; members acknowledged they cannot set a construction start date until DBW/DPW permitting is cleared. No formal vote was recorded; the meeting notes show the board directed the staff contact and permitting steps described above.
Board members thanked volunteers and staff for progress on the sign design and asked staff to provide scheduling updates once permits and staking are complete.
