Ordinance 864 Page 5 (3) Mounds View intends the provisions of this Chapter and Sections about billboards to provide an incentive option for the voluntary and uncompensated removal of off-site signs or billboards. The City bases these provisions on the recognition that the incentive creates an opportunity to consolidate outdoor advertising signs and services that would otherwise remain in Mounds View. SECTION 2. In accordance with Section 3.07 of the City Charter, City staff shall have the following summary printed in the official City newspaper in lieu of the complete ordinance: On October 24, 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance 864 that amends Section 1008.10 of the Mounds View City Code to reduce the amount of time that messages must be maintained on dynamic display signs from ten seconds to four seconds for on-premises signs and from fifteen seconds to eight seconds for off-premises signs (billboards.) In addition, the ordinance introduced specific luminance standards and eliminated the provision which required two billboard faces to be removed for every one billboard face converted to a dynamic display, and restricted dynamic billboard faces to locations adjacent to I-35W . A printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during regular business hours at Mounds View City Hall and is available on line at the City’s web site located at www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us. SECTION 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force 30 days from and after its passage and publication, in accordance with Section 3.09 of the City Charter.
