Vernon’s great sign debate is over.
After sending proposed concepts back to staff twice for reworking, city council signed off on a final design for three gateway signs Monday.
“There has to be closure some time,” said Coun. Scott Anderson.
The front of the signs at the three entrances to the community will have the words Vernon and welcome and include the city’s logo.
There will also be an interchangeable banner that allows special events to be promoted.
The rear of the signs will say City of Vernon and come again.
“I like it better than the previous ones,” said Anderson.
Considerable discussion took place over the physical look of the signs as well as the wording.
Coun. Brian Quiring is pleased to see action finally taking place.
“It’s come a long way and it addresses our concerns. They will look great,” he said.
The budget for the project is $55,000.
