On March 7th, 2017 the Eagle Mountain City Council voted unanimously to continue their agreement between Eagle Mountain and the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce (LACC) for the management and maintenance of the Ladder Signs that are located throughout Eagle Mountain.
There are currently seventeen (17) Ladder Signs that are spread through out the city. The majority of the signs can be found along the main roads (Ranches Parkway, and Pony Express Boulevard) in The Ranches area of Eagle Mountain, the remaining signs are found along Pony Express Boulevard in the City Center area. The agreement stipulates that the signs are to remain the property of Eagle Mountain, but the maintenance and management is the responsibility of the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce. Priority for advertising on the signs is to be given to businesses that have a current license in Eagle Mountain, but if space is available members of the LACC can lease a sign.
The signs come in two sizes, a single size and a double size. The double size is a 64″ X 32″ sign, and the single size is 64″ X 16″. The signs have a price tag of $540 for a single, $900.00 for a double, and a premium double position is $1020.00. The lease is for a single year, and also includes a Bronze Membership to the LACC, a $200 dollar value. The city is to be given 15% of the net income from the sign sales to cover enforcement and other administrative costs. The city receives approximately $2,000 per year. In the past the funds are used for economic development.
The signs will have company logo, and can include a phone number, address, or website. The signs will go through a proofing process before they are sent into production. Holly Harwood of the LACC is responsible for the program. She can be contacted via email at officeadmin@lehiareachamber.com or by phone at 801-901-6664.
The City also reserves the right to remove the signs if they remain empty or if it becomes adjacent to a retail or commercial location. The signs have to be at least 1,000 feet apart, except if used for City facilities, and are located around major intersections.
