Board authorizes up to $4,000 to buy rotating 'storyboard' signs for park trails
Summary
Commissioner Liz proposed buying durable frames for rotating children's books in parks; after budget discussion the board authorized up to $4,000 to purchase frames (30 suggested as a baseline), allowing staff to optimize quantity vs. discounts.
Commissioner Liz proposed purchasing durable storyboard frames to rotate children's books in parks as a literacy and engagement initiative. She proposed 30 frames and estimated a one-time cost of roughly $2,000; the board discussed coverage, reuse of frames and potential business partnerships to supply books.
After discussion about departmental supply budgets and potential discounts for larger orders, one commissioner suggested authorizing a dollar amount rather than a strict quantity to give staff flexibility. The board approved a motion authorizing up to $4,000 for storyboard signs/frames so staff can pursue the best quantity and pricing. Commissioners asked staff to track supply-line impacts and coordinate with partners to donate or provide books for rotation.
