Council seeks legal route to recover city electronic sign moved from Highway 62
Summary
Council members said the city’s electronic sign, paid for by the city, was moved to storage without a documented contract; they asked staff to provide contact information and said attorneys may be asked to recover the sign.
Council members discussed an electronic city sign that the city paid for but which is not currently in the city’s possession. A council member said the city had paid a lot for the sign and urged staff to locate it and retrieve it: "We paid a lot of money for that sign. We don't wanna hassle paying, you know, extra lawyer fees and all that. But it's our sign. I want it back."
Members noted there is no paperwork showing a storage contract and said they need a contact name and documentation describing where and when the sign was moved from 13222 Highway 62 (Jack Jones). Staff said they would gather information and may involve the city attorney; the item will be discussed further in executive session. Council emphasized the city should not be held for ransom if no rightful storage contract exists.
No formal motion to initiate litigation was recorded; staff will collect contact details and legal staff will review options in executive session.
