Council approves letter to seek replacement of missing road signs after repeated thefts
Summary
After reports that newly installed county street signs were stolen shortly after placement, the council approved a motion to send a letter (pending clarification of jurisdiction) requesting replacement or tamper-proof options and to follow up at the next meeting.
Members reported a pattern of stolen new county road signs in the Covelo area and discussed tamper-proof hardware as a deterrent. John H. noted the Bloody Run Creek sign was installed with special hardware and had not been disturbed, and county road-maintenance staff confirmed missing street names are being tracked for replacement with tamper-resistant fasteners.
The Fire and Disaster Preparedness Working Group drafted an email to CalTrans requesting replacement of missing signs; the council held the item while confirming whether specific signs are county or state responsibility, then Dane Downing moved to approve the letter and the motion passed without objection. The council asked staff to finalize jurisdictional clarity and to send the letter after that confirmation.
