Butler County approves $10,881.13 parts purchase to repair vandalized digital message board
Summary
The Board approved buying parts from Wanco for $10,881.13 to repair a vandalized and storm-damaged variable message board; staff said a replacement would cost $21,623.
Public Works reported that multiple variable message boards purchased in 2020 were damaged in a June 2025 windstorm and later vandalized (battery theft and gunfire). Staff evaluated options to replace a remaining damaged message board for $21,623 or repair it by purchasing parts from Wanco for $10,881.13. The Board approved the parts purchase and repair option, voting 5-0.
Commissioners were told staff had cannibalized some damaged units to restore others but that several boards remained in need of repair. The approved parts purchase will allow Public Works to restore one more message board to service at a lower cost than full replacement.
