Board declines to purchase new timed stop signs after AV-Tech declines lighting modification

Apr 28, 2026

After AV-Tech said it could not successfully control the brightness of stop sign lights, the board decided not to buy replacement signs (estimated $2,320 per sign, $9,280 total) and left existing signs in place; the item was removed from future agendas.

The full story

Operations Manager Shane Willis reported AV-Tech’s experiment to control stop-sign light brightness was unsuccessful and the vendor would not modify the signs. He presented two options: keep the existing signs and manage lighting internally or purchase signs with a timer. Willis also reported that the overall cost for four stop signs to date was $9,280, or $2,320 per sign, as shown in the Unaudited Financial Statements.
