anks Council adopts sign ordinance, swears in new patrolman
Officer Spencer Arrowood, a
new full time addition to the
Banks Police Department, was
sworn in to begin the June 13
Banks City Council meeting. A
former reserve officer in Gas­
ton, Arrowood was interviewed
by a team which included citi­
zens, City officials and police
officers from Banks and Hills­
boro.
“He (Arrowood) was a top
quality candidate who under­
stands the job in a small town,"
said Banks Chief Daryl Cran­
dall.
A public hearing on the Pro­
posed Sign Ordinance pro­
duced no audience comments.
However, City Planner K.J.
Won responded to a letter from
Steve Harr, owner of Champi­
on Signs, that questioned the
need for ten copies of the ap­
plication form and why the ap­
proval process could take up to
40 days to complete.
Won explained that the
Banks Planning Commission,
which meets once each month,
must approve all sign permits
so applications must wait for
the Commission to meet.
Copies of the application are
needed for seven Planning
Commission members, City of­
fice, Banks Library and the City
Planner.
The council adopted the
Sign Ordinance with the above
explanations incorporated into
the text.
Laurie Malcolm of Arbor Vil­
lage brought the council the
names of people proposed for
the new Greenville Park com­
mittee, which will be on the
agenda for approval at the July
council meeting. In addition to
Malcolm, proposed members
are city councilors Norma
Stewart and Dana Campbell,
planning commission member
Jerry Adamowicz and Arbor Vil­
lage resident Dennis Wiley.
City Engineer Dale Merrell
efficiently steered the Council
through the adoption of six
measures which Merrell said
were crucial to continuing vari­
ous City projects.
Three measures concerned
the renovation of the historic
Scout Cabin.
The lowest bid for structural

improvements was made by
Matt Pihl Logging and Excava­
tion at $97,928. The project
budget, covered by a Commu­
nity Development Block Grant,
is $82,100. By reducing the
scope of the project, Merrell
brought the proposed amount
to $65,000. An additional
$15,000 may be needed to re­
place more damaged logs,
which are in worse shape than
anticipated. The contract was
awarded to Pihl for $65,000,
subject to negotiation.

tural estimate to $65,000 sub­
