Memorandum to John Link, County Manager <br />October 9, 2000 <br />Page 3 <br />• Maintenance fee: $75.00 per year for each sign. <br />• Service Charge fee: $60.00 per each business sign for replacement of sign due to <br />request or damage (business provides the new sign). <br />• Supplemental Service Signs: not subject to fees (except if included in lifetime <br />contract). <br />Other <br />If the number of businesses for any particular type service at an interchange is greater <br />than the maximum number of signs allowed, preference is given to businesses closest <br />to the interchange (unless the business has previously declined an opportunity offered <br />by NCDOT to participate in the program). This policy includes any new businesses that <br />may open closer to the interchange than other businesses already participating in the <br />program (except for those that have lifetime contracts and are within three miles of the <br />interchange). Contracts are renewed on a yearly basis. <br />Businesses must submit a layout of the logo sign to NCDOT for approval before the <br />sign is fabricated. <br />NCDOT does not maintain waiting lists for the program. <br />NCDOT is currently developing a Tourist Oriented Directional Signing (TODS) Program <br />that will be available on all North Carolina highways. Division of Highways staff expect <br />TODS to be fully implemented within one and a half to two years. Specifics of that <br />program have not been fully elaborated and are not available at this time. <br />
