Board declines to buy timed signs after supplier says brightness control experiment failed

Apr 28, 2026

After AV‑Tech reported they could not control sign brightness, staff reported four stop signs cost $9,280 total ($2,320 each) per the unaudited statements; the board chose not to spend additional funds and left the signs as-is.

The full story

Operations Manager Shane Willis told the board AV‑Tech’s experiment to control stop-sign brightness was unsuccessful and the vendor was unwilling to modify the signs. Willis presented the alternatives: leave the existing signs in place and manage lighting or purchase signs with timers. He also reported the unaudited financial statement record that the overall cost for four stop signs was $9,280 ("$2,320 per sign").
