Residents press for LED sign, scoreboard, sound system and cameras; board asks staff for cost info
Summary
Public commenters and board members discussed upgrades including a 4x8 LED sign (quotes ~$18,000–$22,000), updating the gym scoreboard, improving sound in town meeting spaces and tying security cameras across town buildings; board asked staff to include cost estimates and proposals in future packets and workshops.
During public comment and discussion board members and residents raised several facility‑upgrade ideas: installing a 4x8 LED sign (one vendor quoted between $18,000 and $22,000), replacing or relocating the gym scoreboard, improving the sound system in the building used for town meetings and events, installing three‑phase power to support ball‑field lighting and equipment, and tying security cameras across municipal buildings.
Commenters noted prior grants had funded a scoreboard and that some camera work had been completed with ARPA funds; others said the LED sign could be shared by departments and used for emergency messaging. Board members asked staff to add LED sign quotes to the next packet and to consider a workshop on power upgrades and ball field lighting to bring in subject‑matter experts and cost figures.
No procurement decisions were made at the July 21 meeting; board members asked staff to develop cost estimates and to report back before any purchase or contract award.
