In 2008, the County initially approved the LED community message board to be installed near the Elisabeth Lahti Library, which is intended to serve the public health, safety, and welfare of the Indiantown community by displaying information on upcoming community events. The original message board has reached the end of its serviceable life, and the County and the Village now find it necessary to procure a replacement. 

The proposed MOU sets forth the terms for the procurement, installation, repair, maintenance and operation of the message board, with all costs to be shared equally by the County and the Village.  The County will procure the message board, then invoice the Village for 50% of the cost of purchase and installation, which the Village must pay within 30 days after receipt of the invoice.  The proposal attached to this item, prepared by Flamingo Signs, sets forth a total cost of $44,475.00. Funding will be provided by Commissioner Jenkins’ District 3 MSTU.  Representatives from the County and the Village will meet at least two times per year to develop a programming content calendar, which calendar will be subject to review and approval by the County Administrator and Village Manager.
