CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 23, 1999 Normally the Town Center Committee reviews all sign permit applications proposed for the town Center. Since Ms. Hansmann has asked Council to consider her permit application before the Town Center Committee can review it, staff indicated that they could make a recommendation directly to Council. Ms. Hansmann asked that the Council and not the Town Center Committee consider her request. She explained that she needs the sign to be in place for the opening of her business at the end of July. If she waits for both the Town Center Committee and the City Council to formally meet to give approvals, it will be too late to order and install the sign. After discussing this matter, Council agreed to place this matter on the June 28th Council agenda. Mayor Sullivan called for a short recess.
