He stated he did not believe a te mporary sign was a temporary sign and there <br />were different levels to it which they needed to look at. <br /> <br />Mr. Hyden asked how should they approach this. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle noted if they took two signs a m eeting, it would take them 5 months to get <br />through this. <br /> <br />Mr. Pogalz indicated the Cities they had looked at previously, appeared to have layers to <br />their sign ordinance.

However, he would gather the Statute information for <br />the Board meeting next month for the Boardmembers to review. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty asked if there was one thi ng they could look at tonight and make a <br />determination. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle suggested the look at five signs this month a nd five signs next month. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty stated they needed to find a way to move forward, but he recommended <br />they only go to 10:30 p.m. for this meeting. He also recommended they only discuss the <br />sign issue until 10:30 p.m. for future meetings. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden asked if they should make any di stinction between commercial and residential <br />property. Mr. Bengston replied depending on the type of sign, it could be used on either
