Council reviews proposed city entrance signs; purchase would require budget amendment
Summary
Councilors reviewed sample designs for new city entrance signs and discussed prices of about $1,800–$2,000 per sign; staff said they would need to return with a budget amendment and confirm state DOT permission to replace some state-owned signs.
Council members reviewed sample designs for new city entrance signs during the Feb. 10 meeting and discussed placement, visibility and cost. Speaker 2 noted images were provided in the meeting packet and on screen; Speaker 5 said the signs would cost about "$1,800 to $2,000 each" and that the purchase is not currently in the budget, so "it’s gonna need a budget amendment."
Council members discussed repurposing missing or older city-limit signs at several road approaches rather than adding extra signage, and Speaker 5 said staff would ask the State Department of Transportation whether replacing or relocating signs on state roads would be allowed. The council identified preferred artwork options and asked staff to obtain official pricing and sizing (Speaker 4 agreed to get a 30-by-60 option) and to return with an itemized cost and a proposed budget amendment for formal approval.
No final purchase was authorized at the meeting; council consensus was to move forward with further pricing and to present a budget amendment for a future meeting. The transcript shows design preferences and budget constraints but no purchase order or appropriation.
