Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)
The marketing department requests permission and funding to purchase two signs for the downtown Welcome Center from Vulcan Metal Stampings. The signs are identical. One will be placed  facing Hwy. 59 on the west, and one will be placed facing Hwy. 98 on the south. The low signs will sit near the building, in front of dark permanent shrubbery and will be surrounded by low landscaping to make them visually fit in.
