He highlighted the benefits of using dynamic display in terms of an updated and upgraded appearance, as well as increased opportunity for businesses to advertise. He stated that cities and law enforcement are also allowed to share messaging on the signs. There were no further comments from the public. Upon motion by T. Miller, seconded by D. Miller, the public hearing was closed. Ayes (3). Nays (0). Motion adopted. Mayor -Fischer -asked -what would be -missing to -al -low -these -changes. T-he-Co- mmunity-Development Director explained that new billboards are not allowed and therefore existing billboards can remain as a legal non -conforming use, but cannot be upgraded. She stated that the Planning Commission did not discuss dynamic signs on billboards as billboards are currently prohibited. She stated that if that were a desire, the Code would need to be updated to allow that upgrade. Mayor Fischer asked if the Council should just take action on the items before it at this time and the second matter could come back. The City Administrator stated that the Council could take action tonight or could table this item and allow for additional work on another amendment to allow the billboards to be updated to dynamic display. Mayor Fischer acknowledged that this public hearing has already been closed and believed that there should be a public hearing to consider adding dynamic display to billboards as people may have input. D. Miller asked if there is a pressing need to approve the proposed amendment, or whether there would be time to delay in order to consider the additional amendment. The Community Development Director replied that there is not a pending application at this time. T. Miller suggested moving this forward and if there are additional changes to consider, that could come back in the future. D. Miller commented that he would also feel comfortable moving forward with the changes as proposed and direct staff to continue work on the issue brought up tonight related to the dynamic display billboards. The City Administrator asked if this process would be acceptable to Mr. Wyland and if so, could he provide some sample language that he would want the City to consider and potentially also provide examples of language used in other communities. Mr. Wyland agreed that would be a great process and he could work collaboratively with staff. T.
