Council greenlights West Oak logo on Highway 11 water tower under three-year payment plan
Summary
Council discussed adding the West Oak Warrior logo to the Highway 11 water tower and indicated staff should proceed with a vendor offer to spread the cost over three years (about $1,300 per quarter).
City staff told council on Nov. 12 that the vendor who performs routine water-tank maintenance can add the West Oak Warrior logo to two sides of the Highway 11 tank and offered a three‑year payment plan that spreads the cost over quarterly payments.
Bronson explained the vendor “offered to do quarterly payments of a little less than $1300, per quarter for a total of a little over 15 $1,000” to apply the logo while the city continues routine maintenance on the tank. Staff estimated the additional maintenance cost over three years at roughly $110,000 (transcript phrasing was conversational and included multiple figures); councilors discussed sponsorship opportunities and community interest in adding the logo.
Council members signaled approval and staff said the cost is within the city administrator’s procurement margin so no formal council vote was required to proceed. Staff said the contractor is starting interior tank work now and exterior painting (including the logo) is expected to start shortly thereafter; council members discussed revealing the work as a surprise for the West Oak community.
Next steps: staff will direct the maintenance contractor to include the logo on the exterior during the scheduled tank-painting work and proceed within procurement authority.
