4 PAGE 6 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, DECEMBER 11,2002 www.durhamregion.com Changing signs could cost thousands CHANGING from page 1 ing they'll use that sign for five years," says Mr. Samson. Although Although the company would charge for manufacturing and installation of the new signs, he says, it isn't worthwhile for Canadian TODS Limited to change the sign partway through the contract due to the "front- end cost." The fact the municipality municipality would be paying $8,700 for the new signs and installation installation is "inconsequential," Mr. Samson says. "It's the way the contract is structured. The customer customer needs to be aware they can't be changing their minds two or three times through the contract just on a whim." Mr. Samson adds he "walked through the contract" with former former Mayor Diane Hamre and tourism manager Jennifer Cooke at the time the agreement was made.

Rowe. "The fairs, festivals, these are the things we have that bring people here. Fatigue sets in when something is around too long. I would like to sec if we could get out of the contract." Mr. Samson would not comment comment on a suggestion by Councillor Councillor Rowe to simply paste over the signs with new artwork. However, he did note the signs arc the property of Canadian TODS. The company has not yet had a chance to sit down and discuss the situation with Ms. Cooke, he says, noting he does not want to speculate on any possible scenario scenario for alternative agreements. Council has asked Ms. Cooke to meet with Mr. Samson and report report back.
