POLICY AGENDA: • Consideration of Ordinance OS-O1 regarding bus bench si ns (continued from the December 8.2004 Council meeting) Administrator Worthington said that in early April, 2004, staff notified U.S. Bench that they were in violation of a City ordinance that 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. Staff consulted with Mr. Rollie Danielson of U.S. Bench, and he proposed several modifications that were included in the Council packet. She said Mr. Danielson was in attendance to answer any questions that the Council or audience might have. Administrator Worthington gave a brief oral review of the proposed ordinance and modifications. She said the annual licensing fee will be a separate motion. Mr. Danielson commented that he has been in the business for 60 years and works in over 60 communities in the metro area. He likes the ordinance that is being proposed this evening. • A brief discussion followed. 3
