Council approves $5,000 survey to advance town sign project
Summary
After earlier notes showed a $3,000 authorization, council approved a motion to spend up to $5,000 for a survey for new town signage; members said a survey is a necessary first step and the motion passed unanimously.
The Long Beach Town Council voted March 9 to approve up to $5,000 to commission a survey related to proposed new town signage, after members determined the originally recorded approval amount did not match the actual survey cost.
Councilmember Kendra Bartlett explained the survey vendor and noted most of the town had been previously surveyed; she moved to authorize the higher amount so the sign project could proceed in stages if desired. Council discussion emphasized fiscal caution about moving forward with expensive signage in the same year as other capital needs but recognized that a single survey would likely be useful for future phases. The motion to approve the survey not to exceed $5,000 was seconded and approved.
Next steps: staff will contact the vendor (Steve Schneider) to proceed with the survey and will return design and cost proposals for any sign construction when the council chooses to move onto implementation.
Quote: "My opinion is the first thing we have to do if we're going to put any sign there is get a survey," a councilmember said during discussion.
