SECTION 730:15-3-2. Transfer costs of memorial signs

(a)   Elected governmental bodies may, by formally adopted resolution or legislative Act, propose the naming of highways and bridges on the state highway system to the Transportation Commission.

(b)   In accordance with 69 O.S. § 1600, the costs associated with the signage related to the naming of highways and bridges on the state highway system shall be paid by the group or individual sponsoring or requesting the sign. Such costs shall not apply to the naming of highways and bridges on the state highway system designed to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who were killed in action, as determined by the United States Department of Defense.

(c)   The procedure to assess and collect the cost of the erection of the sign, as well as the potential replacement or reconstruction of the sign, upon approval by the Transportation Commission is as follows:

(1)   Each memorial sign is produced using computer aided drafting personnel to determine the size of the memorial sign using standard lettering rules.

(2)   Pricing of the sign, itself, is based on the square footage of the size of the produced sign.

(3)   Additional costs associated with the erection of the memorial sign include the price of sign posts, materials needed to secure the sign in the ground at its location, and labor - as determined by the respective Division where the sign is to be erected.
