Vernon will have to live with the old signs welcoming people to the city for the time being.
City council had hoped newly-designed signs would be up in time for the summer tourist season.
But the one proposal to build the signs that came in was “significantly over budget,” Kim Flick, director of community development, told council on Monday.
When pressed, Flick admitted the proposal was four times the $50,000 budgeted for the signs.
Coun. Catherine Lord said staff has committed to making changes to get the costs down and, perhaps, some money could be added to the budget.
The sign issue has been back and forth to council since last year.
It took three tries before council agreed on the design.
Plans are for two of three signs to be located at the existing sign locations at Swan Lake and Highway 6. A third sign would be constructed to the south of the city on Highway 97.
