Summary Background:
Between the Public Works and Police departments there are currently 3 trailer mounted message boards owned by the City. These boards function best when there is enough room to leave them parked for an extended period of time. Recent responses and events in the City have demonstrated a need for a more portable systems of signs that can be deployed for emergency or short term messages. The message boards proposed can be moved in the trunk of a car and placed on a stand anywhere it is needed and the message can be updated remotely. This will allow the City to provide more timely information and direction to residents, staff, and emergency services.
