City Administrator Ericson clarified that these dynamic display signs could only <br />be amber in color. <br />Council Member Stigney recommended the display hold time within Item 5 should be eight <br />seconds. <br />FRIENDLY AMENDMENT: Stigney/Hull. A motion to change the display hold time within <br />Item 5 from four seconds to eight seconds. <br />City Administrator Ericson indicated the Council could be more restrictive to the hold time on <br />display signs in residential areas. <br />Mayor Flaherty stated that eight seconds was not quick enough for people to read display signs <br />where the four seconds did. This current language would provide increased safety throughout the <br />City. <br />Council Member Gunn agreed. <br />AMENDMENT VOTE: <br />Ayes —1 Nays — 3 (Flaherty, Hull and Gunn) Motion failed. <br />Council Member Stigney stated he was opposed to light trespassing onto private property.

City Administrator Ericson reviewed the current language with the Council. <br />Mayor Flaherty recommended that the language read the signs could be 30% of one dimension <br />and 70% of the other dimension. City Administrator Ericson indicated the dynamic portion of a <br />sign could be no more than 50% of a total sign size. <br />FRIENDLY AMENDMENT: Stigney. That no more than 25 square feet of sign area be allowed <br />to be used for dynamic display. <br />The motion failed for lack of second. <br />City Attorney Riggs reviewed the section of the City Code addressing trespassing light.
