• POLICY Hl 1/12/05 ITEM: Consideration of Ordinance 05-01 regarding bus bench signs (continued from the December 8, 2004 Council meeting) SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Roger Knutson, City Attorney EXPLANATION: Summary: In early April, staff notified U.S. Bench that they were in violation of a City ordinance which prohibits advertising signs in the right of way. This enforcement action was the result of a citizen complaint about the location of a bus bench adjacent to the resident's property. At the May 5, 2004 meeting, the Council enacted a six month moratorium on the installation of any new bus bench signs in the City to give staff time to research the issue and come back to the Council with a recommendation. At the September 22°d meeting, staff requested extension of this moratorium to November 24th. At the November 24th meeting, the City Council reviewed staff recommendations for an • ordinance concerning bus bench or courtesy bench signs. Staff brought a final ordinance back to the Council for review and consideration at the December 8, 2004 Council meeting and the Council decided to continue the matter to the January 12, 2005 meeting to allow time for Council review. At the December 8, 2004 meeting, the Council decided to lay this matter over to the January 12, 2005 meeting. Staff has consulted with Rollie Danielson of U.S. Bench, and he has made the following requests (in strike-through and underline) in the ordinance that follows.
