The Town of Centreville Council meeting on September 4, 2025, focused on the ongoing discussions regarding electronic signage for local public schools and community organizations. The council members expressed concerns about the adequacy of proposed electronic signs for Queen Anne's County Public Schools, noting that the school district desires a more advanced sign similar to one located in Canal, which features a full-color display.

Council Vice President Keel and other members acknowledged the challenges in meeting the school's expectations, indicating that the current proposal may not satisfy their needs. There was a sentiment of frustration, as it was suggested that the town's efforts to assist the schools have not been fully appreciated.

The council discussed the possibility of implementing an annual review process for electronic signage permits. This would allow for oversight and the potential revocation of signage privileges if organizations do not comply with regulations. The idea was met with general support among council members, who recognized the need for a structured approach to managing electronic signs.

Additionally, there was mention of a potential donation of a sign to the school, which would mirror the style of existing signs on Kent Island. However, concerns were raised about enforcement issues and the need for clear communication between the town and the school district.

In conclusion, the council is considering adding provisions for an annual permit and review process for electronic signage, aiming to balance community needs with regulatory compliance. Further discussions will be necessary to finalize these plans and ensure that all parties are satisfied with the outcomes.
