REQUEST FROM MAYOR LLOYD JOHNSON REQUESTING THE CITY COUNCIL'S
CONSENSUS TO RE-EXAMINE THE CITY'S TEMPORARY SIGN ORDINANCE TO
STRENGTHEN MEASURES TO ADDRESS VIOLATIONS OF ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council direct staff accordingly.
DISCUSSION:
Per the City Council's Standing Rules, Mayor Lloyd Johnson is requesting the City Council's consensus to
review the City's temporary sign ordinance to strengthen measures that City staff can take to address
violations. During the 2018 Campaign Season, some candidates for election in various races did not comply
with the City's new temporary sign ordinance, designed to reduce the number of campaign signs posted on
public property. As such, Mayor Johnson wishes to re-examine the temporary sign ordinance and see what
additional measures the City can institute for future elections.
