I did find one for LA county that has a figure close to what the city engender quoted. Look on page 2 and total project cost. Page three gives total cost for just sign per mile.

i might add with the current economy of our little valley the city would cry over $15k per mile for class three signs. $400k would take a bound issue and 1.7 mil would simply not happen without a state grant.
