Trustees ask for pricing to repair or remove crumbling Metamora American Legion sign at proposed Veteran’s Park
Summary
President Deeb said the deteriorating sign at the former Metamora American Legion lot is a hazard because children climb on it; the board asked staff to obtain pricing for repair and replacement before deciding.
President Deeb raised a safety concern about the Metamora American Legion sign at the site designated for a pocket park called Veteran’s Park, saying the sign is crumbling and poses a hazard to children who climb on it. The minutes record that "it is a hazard as children often climb on it and it has sharp edges that pose a risk to anyone that may fall on or near it." Trustees agreed not to decide immediately and asked staff to investigate the cost of repair versus removal and replacement.
The discussion did not include a formal motion or vote; trustees instructed staff to obtain pricing for both repair and replacement so they can weigh costs and safety risks before taking action. The outcome will determine whether the Village performs a repair, removes the sign, or pursues replacement as part of park development.
