ITEM:
A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Expend an Amount Not to Exceed $12,240 for the
Acquisition from and Removal by George Lay Signs, Inc. of Four Billboard Signs Located on
Property Acquired by the City for Construction of the Water Well Road - 1-135 Interchange Project.
BACKGROUND
George Lay Signs, Inc. of Wichita, Kansas ("Lay Signs") owns four billboard signs located at mile
markers 87.14, 87.2, 87.28, and 87.34 along Interstate Highway 135 (the "Signs") pursuant to a
Lease Contract dated July 7,2000. The Lease Contract was assigned to the City in conjunction with
the purchase of real estate needed for construction of the Water Well Road - 1-135 interchange
project. The anticipated commencement of construction of the interchange project requires that the
signs be removed at this time. Negotiations with representatives of Lay Signs have progressed to
the extent that it is known that the ultimate cost of acquisition and removal of the signs will not
exceed the total of $12,240, but in certain circumstances may be less.
Under City policy, the City Manager has authority to expend up to $10,000 of budgeted funds in his
own discretion. The proposed resolution grants the City Manager the authority in this specific case
to expend an amount not to exceed $12,240 for the acquisition and removal of the signs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 03-5921.
