Town to fund half the cost of Nixon Auto Parts sign for museum
Summary
Historian Rosa Fox reported the acquisition of an 8 ft x 4 ft Nixon Auto Parts sign; the board approved a $250 transfer from restricted historical funds to cover half the cost (Resolution #23-2025).
Historian Rosa Fox told the board she recovered an 8-by-4-foot Nixon Auto Parts sign and that it is currently stored at the Grange because it does not fit in the museum. Fox announced a dedication ceremony for a newly hung portrait scheduled for April 3 at 7 p.m.
The board approved a motion to accept the historian's report and adopted Resolution #23-2025, transferring $250 from A899.1 (Other Restricted Fund Balance–Historical) to A7520.400 (Historical Property Contractual) to cover half the cost of the Nixon sign (vote recorded AYES 5, NAYS 0). Historian Fox said community groups, including local school students, may help with museum work such as window cleaning and exterior scraping.
The minutes record the board's support for the museum's preservation efforts and noted potential United Way cooperation for maintenance projects.
