Aldermen approve up to $40,000 for new municipal electric sign
Summary
The Avoca Town Council on April 10 approved purchasing an electric sign for the Steam Whistle Depot park project with a spending limit of $40,000 after brief discussion about updates, data plans and electricity costs.
Ald. Kathy Hansen moved on April 10 that the Town of Avoca purchase an electric sign for the Steam Whistle Depot project with a spending limit of $40,000; Ald. Dennis Pinkley seconded the motion and it was approved by acclimation. The council discussed options presented by Best Sign Group, and members asked about content updates, required data plans and the expected cost to power the sign before voting.
The sign decision was taken during the Park committee report, where Ald. Hansen also reviewed options for phasing the pavilion project because bids had been limited. Council did not attach further spending conditions to the sign purchase during the meeting.
Next steps: the council approved the spending limit so staff may proceed to finalize procurement. The motion was recorded in the minutes as approved by acclimation; no roll-call vote was recorded in the meeting notes.
