Chris Pelzer from Todd GIS Department was present to talk about the cost savings to the Township when changing from vertical 911 signs to have them run horizontally. She stated that most of the 911 signs around the state are horizontal. She explained to the Board the different ways this could be done. A few signs at a time or on a rotation over several years.
