Committee seeks quotes and grant options for proposed digital sign
Summary
The committee discussed a proposed digital sign, potential Community Foundation grant funding (applications reportedly due March 1), installation challenges (electrical, masonry) and the need for firm quotes and grant eligibility checks before committing funds.
Chair (Speaker 1) raised the topic of a proposed digital sign and asked the committee to consider cost, aesthetics and funding options. Committee members discussed options for placement, costs for brick pillars/masonry and whether the sign vendor ships only the display while local contractors handle installation.
Speaker 3 flagged a potential funding source: "They're accepting applications until March, I think. March 1," referring to a Community Foundation grant that could help pay for installation. Members noted installation could require electrical work and masonry and that the vendor's quoted price may not include remote management capability or installation costs; one member indicated the total build-out might exceed $20,000 depending on electrical and site work. The committee agreed to obtain firm installation quotes and to verify grant eligibility and application limits prior to pursuing the project.
Next steps: obtain written quotes that include installation and remote-control options, confirm whether the Community Foundation grant can cover installation costs, and present findings to the committee for a funding decision.
