Board pauses on trail directional and ATV signage amid enforcement and funding concerns
Summary
Waverly board debated buying 12x18 directional trail signs (estimated ~17–20 signs at about $29.50 each) but members worried about enforcement, vandalism and whether to wait for the county's trail system to provide signage funding; a motion to proceed did not get a second.
The board revisited earlier discussion about installing directional trail signs on three side streets that connect to the county trail system.
Town staff presented estimated unit costs (about $29.50 each) and suggested ordering roughly 17–20 signs for various turns and straight segments, putting the order total in the mid-hundreds of dollars. Board members expressed concern that the town lacks law-enforcement capacity to enforce no-ATV rules and that signs may be vandalized or stolen. Several members recommended waiting until the county finalizes the trail system so the county might fund signage or sell permits that generate revenue to support signage and road repairs.
A board member made a motion to install signs but the motion received no second and was not moved forward. Members agreed to revisit the matter once the county trail plan and funding details are available.
