Summary

A council member asked the Spruce Pine City Council for permission to place wayfinding signs from a Blue Ridge trail organization at Riverside Park and River Bend Park, saying the TDA will pay for the signs while the town would cover installation elements; no formal vote was recorded.

A council member asked the Spruce Pine City Council to allow a Blue Ridge trail organization to install wayfinding signs at Riverside Park and River Bend Park, saying the Tourism Development Agency (TDA) has agreed to buy the signs while the town would cover installation costs.

"The TDA has agreed to buy all the signs," the council member said, adding that they had emailed the organization, provided photos of both parks and received an enthusiastic response.

The request was presented as a permission matter rather than a formal motion: the council member said they sought the council's consensus to place the signs on-site. Chair interjected that the council would need to reach consensus before staff could finalize placement.

Staff did not report a formal permit requirement or a vote during the remarks. The council did not record a decision in the discussion captured by the transcript; next steps appear to be council consensus followed by staff coordination on installation costs and logistics.
