Council declares downtown electric sign excess property; to transfer it to school district for $1
Summary
Citing inaccuracy and safety concerns, council declared the downtown electric sign excess property (Resolution 92405) and approved transferring it to the local school district for $1 so the district can reuse it outside a school building; council approved the action unanimously.
The St. James City Council on Sept. 17 declared the downtown electronic sign excess property, citing repeated inaccuracies and a safety issue where motorists slow to read it. Under Resolution 92405, the school district agreed to accept the sign for $1 and repurpose it outside a district building after repairs.
The mayor and council discussed prior line damage that made the sign inaccurate and noted that slowing motorists were a concern in the downtown roundabout. The council approved deeming the sign excess property and transferring it so the district can repair and reuse it.
What it means: Transferring the sign removes a distraction in the downtown roundabout and gives the school district an opportunity to reuse the equipment for campus communications. The transfer will proceed after required administrative steps.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the excess‑property paperwork and the $1 transfer to the school district.
