MAYOR <br />Michael 1. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson <br />Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: September 7, 2001 <br />RE: Enforcement of Temporary Sign Ordinance <br />The City's Sign Ordinance allows for the temporary use of portable signs by businesses. <br />A permit is required for temporary signs under the conditions outlined in Section 903.110 <br />C. 4. (see attached ordinance). <br />As you know, temporary signs have been a code enforcement problem for the City. Even <br />though many businesses obtain permits and comply with the City's ordinance <br />requirements, many others do not. Enforcement actions have been taken with violators, <br />however, the problem continues. <br />Council Member LaValle has suggested that the Council take a look at the temporary <br />sign ordinance and add more enforcement options. One suggestion was to give the City <br />the ability to have illegal signs towed and impounded. <br />Page 88 <br />
