AGENDA ITEM: Campaign Sign Waving at s-Points Intersection
SUBMITTED BY: Commissioner Carolyn Woods
DATE: February 11, 2013
BACKGROUND: During Campaign season there is often a period of a few weeks
when the different campaigns have volunteers out waving signs
at key traffic points in the City. This is a popular practice and
serves the purpose of getting the candidates' names out to the
public and in general making the public aware that Election Day
is nearing. It is also a hazard at the very busy s-way stop in front
of the Fire Station. Over the years, many citizens have
complained and many politicians have agreed. It is time to put a
stop to this practice before the next campaign season and before
some is injured.
BUDGET: No funds are required.
RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to insert language into the current sign
ordinance that would prohibit any sign waving at the
s-way stop intersection and bring the ordinance back
to the Commission for approval.
