Commission approves replacement bids for Andy’s Meat Market and Verendrye Monument signs
Summary
After reporting two separate incidents of vandalism, commissioners voted to accept bids from M&R Signs to replace the Andy’s Meat Market sign for $200 and the Verendrye Monument informational sign for $250; both motions passed.
Commissioner Robert Kean reported two separate sign vandalism incidents: the Andy’s Meat Market sign at East Main and Deadwood Street and an informational sign at the Verendrye Monument that had been pried off its post and not recovered. For Andy’s Meat Market, the Commission voted to expend $200 from Budget Category #423 to accept a bid from M&R Signs (motion moved by Larry Eliason, seconded by Ted Spencer; motion passed).
On the Verendrye sign, Kean told members the signpost was undamaged and a new sign could be attached using the original bolts. The Commission voted to expend $250 from Budget Category #423 to accept M&R Signs' bid to replace the Verendrye Monument sign (motion moved by Patti Duffy, seconded by Alan Haarstad; motion passed). Members also discussed strategies to reduce repeat vandalism.
