Title
AMENDMENT TO LMC 10.40.060 - POSTING SIGNS
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Council Initiative: Address Quality of Place Issues
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting to add an exception to the LMC 10.40.060 to read:
10.40.060 Posting signs.
No person, firm or corporation shall post or attach any handbill, circular, advertising matter or other papers or signs of any kind for advertising or other purposes, except as provided in Chapter 16.40 LMC and Chapter 13.04, on any post, pole, tree, building or other structure. (Ord. 2772 § 2, 2000; Ord. 2122 § 1, 1983).
The exception would allow, with a permit from the director or the city manager, the ability to exercise those exceptions within the municipal code. The Urban Forestry Division of the Parks and Recreation Department would like to place educational signs within the park system around trees during the month of April to celebrate both Arbor Day and Earth Day to promote the urban forest program and the benefits of trees.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to add the exemption language to LMC 10.40.060 - Posting Signs
