Council approves Traffic Safety Committee grant and city match to buy solar speed signs
Summary
Council member Williams moved and the council approved acceptance of a $5,000 Traffic Safety Committee grant, with the city providing a $4,350 match, to purchase solar speed signs. Procurement steps were authorized and will be handled by Public Works.
The Andrew City Council voted on Jan. 14 to accept a $5,000 grant from the Traffic Safety Committee to purchase solar speed signs and to commit $4,350 from city funds to cover the remainder of the purchase cost. Council member Williams made the motion and Jamison seconded; the motion passed with all present voting aye.
The council authorized Public Works to proceed with procurement for the signs; the minutes indicate the city will make up the difference between the grant and the purchase price. No vendor was named at the meeting and council did not record a specific timeline for installation.
This action follows the council's ongoing attention to traffic-safety measures; the purchase is intended to provide visible speed feedback on local streets. The council did not record any dissent or proposed amendments to the purchase authorization during the meeting.
