Summary

Trustees discussed LED sign malfunction and reviewed Bendsen bids of $35,300 (3x8) and $42,654 (4x8); renew subscription option ($1,200) noted, but the Board tabled the issue pending further review of funding from the TIF district.

President Bruce Dowdy reported the Village’s LED sign is stuck in an endless loop and that the subscription has expired. One short-term option is to renew the subscription for $1,200; longer-term bids from Bendsen were presented at $35,300 for a 3x8-foot sign and $42,654 for a 4x8-foot sign. Dowdy noted the Village could use TIF funds to pay for replacement but, after discussion about repair difficulty and parts availability, the Board tabled the decision.

No motion to purchase was passed at the Sept. 8 meeting; trustees requested further review of bids and funding sources before taking formal action.
