Select Board reviews sign bylaw changes and debates sign replacement budget
Summary
The board reviewed proposed sign bylaw revisions and debated whether to wait for bylaw changes before replacing town signs; members noted a budget of $800 versus contractor quotes of $1,001 and $1,600 and discussed the difference in sign square footage.
The Select Board reviewed proposed sign-bylaw changes and discussed replacing town signs. The board noted changes in the draft (gray text) and asked about a numeric correction (an '8' to be changed to '10') on page 24.
One participant summarized sign options and costs: "Our budget is $800, and she's got a price of 1,001 and 1,600 for another one," underscoring the gap between the line-item budget and contractor quotes. Members discussed whether to wait to approve a larger sign until the bylaw changes are finalized so the town could consider a larger square footage if permitted by the revised rules.
A resident referenced state signage rules under chapter 10 and said the town could list town offices or simply say 'Stamford, Vermont' depending on the required format. The board agreed to review bids and consider whether to wait for bylaw adoption before contracting for a larger sign.
