Council reviews $4,111 quote for 50 metal speed-posts as stop-signs remain vulnerable
Summary
Council reviewed a $4,111 quote for 50 metal signposts and debated metal versus wood and cemented installation to reduce frequent damage; the item was tabled pending dimension verification and vendor follow-up.
Council members reviewed a vendor quote for 50 metal posts priced at $4,111 and discussed whether to install metal or wood posts for local speed-limit signs.
One councilor argued metal would be more resistant to vandalism and repeated impacts: "I agree with you as far as the metal poles because they're not gonna be very easy to bend by hand," the councilor said. Another councilor noted that wooden posts deteriorate faster, and members suggested using cement footings to reduce repeated damage.
Staff asked for dimensions and said they would check local suppliers for potential discounts; the council agreed to table the item until staff can provide finalized dimensions and vendor options.
