The council approved the New City Welcome Sign design and authorized the City Manager to issue a request for proposals to replace a wind‑damaged sign on the east side of town.

City Manager Darin DeHaan and the Public Art Committee presented a finalized design from Randee Mennenga. The committee favored a more natural aesthetic and increased space around the sign; staff noted the company that built the original signs is no longer in business. Vendor renderings and bids will be solicited, and IDOT approval will be required before installation. The motion passed on unanimous roll call.
