Washburn board discusses Highway 83 signs, banners and event promotions; city contribution for event noted
Summary
Board members discussed replacing Highway 83 signage, seeking city reimbursement, and using lodging‑tax or other funds for generic banners (Clint Hill/ Riverboat Days). A city contribution of $30,000 to a related event was mentioned during the discussion.
Members reviewed plans to replace or update Highway 83 signage and to pursue reimbursement from the city for sign work. The board discussed creating reusable banners for events such as Clint Hill promotions and Riverboat Days and floated the possibility of lodging‑tax funds covering some costs.
Mark Lyle and other members said they believe the group has its "ducks in a row" for sign replacement and that banners should be generic so they can be reused at multiple events and locations (including Legion Park). Donna Summer noted the city has previously provided funding for local events; during the discussion a $30,000 city contribution toward an event was referenced as context.
Members agreed to develop a banner proposal and, if costs are reasonable, to purchase additional banners with dates and event information that can be changed out. They discussed coordinating design and logistics with the American Legion and event leads such as John Schultz. No formal appropriation or reimbursement agreement was recorded in the meeting minutes.
