Board reviews radar speed-sign quotes, placement and state approvals
Summary
Members reviewed radar speed-sign features, pricing and potential placements (Elm Street, Mere Street, near the fairgrounds); the board asked staff to circulate quotes and coordinate state approval where signs are on State Road.
Board members reviewed quotes for battery- and solar-powered radar speed signs with messaging features and discussed likely placements and approvals.
A board member said the new signs have messaging options to display speeds and safety messages and noted pricing appeared comparable to purchases from about 10 years ago. Members discussed replacing a sign previously knocked down and considered locations near Elm Street, Mere Street and the fairgrounds; placement on state roads will require state approval. The board asked Clerk/Missy to scan and circulate the quotes and materials to members so final placement and purchases can be decided.
Members noted funds may be available in equipment accounts and that accident-recovery funds could contribute to purchases; they asked staff to review specifications before ordering.
