Called the sign a capital purchase the Borough needed

The FY2024 report says the Borough was in need of an outdoor LED sign at the Borough Hall to program customizable messages for the residents of the Borough, with a focus on public health and safety (p3), and calls the purchase a 1-time capital purchase (p4). The Borough's general capital fund carries exterior signs. On 06/14/2024, seventeen days before the opioid sign order, it encumbered 20,870.00 for a library sign with display and 640.00 for installation with concrete from Signs American Woodcarving, purchase order 24-00705, on account C-04-216-55-003-933, Ordinance 2023-02, supplement to 21-01, New Library. Check 4241 paid both lines on 09/20/2024 (p24). Ordinance 26-18 carries 60,000.00 for pedestrian safety signs, unspent at 09/04/2026 (p36). Redmont Sign, LLC has one purchase order from the Borough between 01/01/2018 and 08/31/2026, the opioid sign. That the settlement money paid for a sign the Borough's capital budget would otherwise have carried is this project's inference from these records. The current fund's operating lines for signage were not produced.
