Council asks staff to locate missing welcome‑to‑Hillsboro letters
Summary
Councilors raised a follow‑up about a previously planned welcome sign project after the carts vote, asking staff to check with vendors and the maintenance shop to locate missing letters so the city entry project can be completed.
After approving the cart purchase, councilors shifted briefly to follow up on a planned welcome‑to‑Hillsboro entry feature. The chair asked whether the project had fallen by the wayside after prior work to improve the city’s appearance.
A staff member said he had spoken with the maintenance team and local vendors; the meeting record shows the letters that were meant to be installed cannot be located in the city maintenance shop. Staff said they would check with Joe’s (a local vendor referenced in the exchange) and elsewhere to determine whether the letters remain recoverable or need to be replaced.
Councilors emphasized finishing the project to complete the city’s “front door” improvements and asked staff to report back when they locate the letters or determine replacement needs.
