Chair Gabbard opened the Sept. 2 meeting of the Clarkdale Historic Preservation Commission by asking the group to consider assembling a budget request for the town council so the commission's signage work can be completed rather than relying only on uncertain outside grants. "I would like to discuss the possibility of putting together a budget for signage, and presenting it to the town council in January," Chair Gabbard said.
Town staff told commissioners the set of markers replaced in 2022 cost $4,634. "The total cost for that was $4,634," Ruth, a town staff member, said, and recommended moving a supplemental project through the town's budget process rather than pursuing small grants for this scope of work.
