Village trustees approve entrance pillars, sign lighting, security cameras and hire landscape consultant
Summary
At their regular meeting trustees approved Heartland’s $6,883.68 bid for entrance pillars, authorized signage and lighting, awarded a $9,960 camera-and-security contract and hired a landscape consultant (Trusted Home Services at $40/hr). They also authorized public bidding for a pedestrian-path repair project.
Trustees for the Village of Four Seasons approved several small capital projects and professional services during their meeting, including work on a new entrance monument, sign lighting, park security equipment and a landscape consultant contract.
The board voted to accept Heartland’s bid of $6,883.68 to construct the new entrance columns and associated bases. Trustees discussed two contractor options — a tumbled-stone 22x22 column from Heartland and a 20x20 Versa-Lock option from Nelson’s that would require rebar and concrete reinforcement — and chose Heartland’s lower-priced design after reviewing mockups, base dimensions and sightline concerns.
Trustees also authorized signage and lighting work for the monument site. The board approved procurement of printed signage (36x48) and set a modest not-to-exceed allowance to cover minor adjustments to design or materials. Separately, trustees approved a proposal from Ryan O’Neil Electric to install LED lighting for the flagpole and two new LED sign fixtures; the figure discussed during the meeting was approximately $1,520 and the motion passed on a voice vote.
To improve park and pavilion security the board approved a $9,960 allocation to Paramount Systems Security to consolidate and upgrade camera systems, bring cameras back onto a single network, install wireless pavilion cameras and add a properly racked supply closet for the monitoring equipment.
On parks and landscaping, trustees awarded a contract to Trusted Home Services to provide landscape-consulting services, inspection visits, and recommendations for plantings and hardscape. The consultant proposed an hourly rate of $40; trustees approved engagement and directed that a trustee be assigned to oversee scope and budget as the program develops.
Other approvals included a $6,650 contract for concrete work at Trillium Park (Bulldog Concrete of the Ozarks) to provide edge-curbing, a short walkway extension and ADA-accessible ramps, and a $930 payment of the dog-park insurance policy the volunteers requested.
Board members said these projects aim to finalize long-planned improvements to the village entrance and park amenities and to increase safety and visibility. Several trustees emphasized a desire to finalize colors and minor design details before installation and to use temporary mockups so residents can visualize placement and sightlines.
What’s next: staff will coordinate contractor schedules, finalize sign art and lighting details and schedule site work; the board indicated some work may proceed quickly because contractors had immediate availability.
