Council approves $5,218 building-sign package; flagpole purchase tabled
Summary
Council approved a Sign Solutions installation for town building signage at an installed cost of $5,218, with at least two council members voicing opposition to immediate purchase; flagpole and cemetery flag proposals were discussed and tabled for later review.
Council reviewed vendor quotes for building lettering and awnings and approved a Sign Solutions quote to supply and install quarter-inch aluminum letters. The isthmus-style option with installation was presented at a total installed cost staff quoted as $5,218. Council moved to approve the purchase and to fund it from the gas fund; discussion included an option to wait several weeks to save a modest trip/installation fee.
One council member said they would oppose moving forward immediately and another also voiced opposition; the motion carried on a voice vote. The minutes show discussion of a potential $2.50 trip charge or a $3.50 discount for waiting, and staff noted they could save money by bundling installations.
Separately, council considered three quotes for a flagpole to be installed at the West Washington Street cemetery and additional school crossing signage; members asked for more time to review foundation and wind-rating details and ultimately tabled the flagpole decision.
