Summary

Council members reviewed a proposed welcome sign design and cost estimates, discussed ownership and wording, and agreed to defer formal purchasing decisions; members estimated the sign should be under $10,000 and discussed dimensions and wording.

Council considered a proposal for a new town welcome sign. Council members said Tim is spearheading the project and reported he had not finalized dimensions or contractor details yet. Members discussed examples and whether the town should 'own' the sign and its design. One council member suggested the cost would likely be well below $10,000 and another raised an illustrative estimate around $2,300 for a given example.

Discussion emphasized confirming sign dimensions, final wording and who would be responsible for maintenance. Council members asked for more details and deferred formal action to a future meeting.
