STAFF REPORT – TARA COONER

DISCUSSION – RUTLEDGE EVENT SIGN
Mayor Altznauer advised the Council that the Garden Club came to him and asked to address the
Welcome and event sign. Only one company has come back with a quote, the Stewart Company. I met Pam Stapp last week. I don’t have a quote on the brick work. I like the idea of the sign being 4 X 8, we just need to find a corner to put it on. The price is $5,900.00 for double sided, that does not include brick. I would like to put it on 278 on the bank property. I will reach out to a couple more companies. Eva, the Depot director said she would change the wording when needed. Brandie Owens said she also thought the bank property would be best.
PARK UPDATE
Mayor Altznauer informed the Council the plaque that used to be in the downtown park has been located. He said that checks off one of the conditions on the park easement. Nothing has been done in the last two weeks. We can’t burn the debris because of the burn ban. I am waiting to talk to Ricky about running water and sewer. Once everything is cleaned up and grass is planted, we can start looking at ideas for a gazebo and bathroom. The biggest thing is getting it signed over to the City.
Adam Beckstine made motion to adjourn at 6:37 PM. Tony Sells seconded, all voted in favor and motion carried.
