Bogue council asks clerk to get cost estimates for matching street signs; finance and department reports noted
Summary
Mayor Robert O’Chat raised a resident suggestion for consistent town street and directional signs; the council asked Town Clerk Shawne Southard to obtain cost estimates. The meeting also recorded finance totals, building permits, street maintenance requests and event planning notes.
Mayor Robert O’Chat told the council that resident Juli Cosgrove had recommended new matching street and directional signs to improve the town’s appearance. The mayor asked whether the council wanted to budget for new signs in the next fiscal year. Town Clerk Shawne Southard said funds exist in the Capital Outlay account for this fiscal year and the council asked her to obtain cost estimates.
The council also received several routine reports. Mayor O’Chat reported total cash funds of $694,203.18. Clerk Southard noted that Property Taxes, Motor Vehicle Taxes and Local Sales Tax were paid through December and asked the council to consider where to spend the remaining $650 in Contributions this fiscal year.
Under planning, Clerk Southard stated she approved two building permits: a new house at 121 Pine Needle Circle and a new house at 141 Millicent Court. Councilman David Padgett reported potholes on Chimney Branch Road and asked that the Lake Arthur entrance be re-striped. Councilman Mike Crose said planning for Bogue Day is underway. Clerk Southard told the council she will attend the Master Municipal Clerks Academy course in Wilmington on April 25.
The council took no formal votes on sign replacement or street repairs at the meeting; it directed the clerk to return with cost information and budget options for future consideration. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
