Commissioners move prior-year wayfinding funds into TDA signage line
Summary
The board approved budgeting previously transferred but unspent wayfinding funds — $40,000 from the county and $30,000 from the town — into the TDA's signage/wayfinding line to allow future spending on wayfinding signage.
Finance staff told the board that last year the county budgeted $40,000 and the town budgeted $30,000 for wayfinding signage; those amounts were previously transferred into the Tourism Development Authority (TDA) budget but went unspent and remain in the TDA fund balance. Staff asked the board to budget the prior-year funds into the TDA signage line so they are available for forthcoming sign projects.
"That's line item money that will stay there until it's spent," finance staff said, and confirmed the budget amendment is being requested because the money was not spent last year. After a motion and second, the board approved the budget change by voice vote, recorded as 5–0.
The action does not itself authorize procurement or installation; it reallocates prior-year line-item authority into a signage line so the TDA can draw the funds when the project proceeds. No project timeline or vendor was discussed at the meeting.
