Page 59 - Message board signs - these would be stationary and part of the building signage?
Why not look at all major roads in/out of the city and find places for signage?
Loop 82/Aquarena
Hwy 123 (you have that one)
Hunter Rd (you have that one)
RR 12
Hwy 80/Hopkins - City hall would also be good in addition to east side of IH 35.
Wonder World (hoping the WW at Hunter sign will work for this one)
Unhoused Camp Clean Up - will we not have more cleanups in the future, before the deadline to spend funds?
Sure hate to see the PD not converting the old data, even if it's really hard.

These would be stationary signs but not necessarily attached to the building.
Why not look at all major roads in/out of the city and find places for signage? These three locations were chosen for greatest visibility. Between these new message boards and the mobile signs we have purchased, we should be able to cover all of the areas mentioned below. A sign at City Hall is also mentioned; however, that location has the Activity Center sign in close proximity which is also scheduled to be upgraded.

Unhoused Camp Clean Up - will we not have more cleanups in the future, before the deadline to spend funds? We will continue to have clean ups, and this service has been included in the contract with Texas Disposal Systems.
Sure hate to see the PD not converting the old data, even if it's really hard. The Police Department fully explored converting data from CIS to Tyler Enterprise. Data integrity was not guaranteed, and it would have taken months for staff to fix the entries that were corrupted. We opted instead to pay a lesser fee to CIS each year to retain access to our native data contained therein, while understanding that we can eventually “live” in Tyler Enterprise solely.
