Sign Code Amendments Report <br />September 27, 2010 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />State Statute (Section 211B.045) now requires that all cities, whether or not the city has an <br />ordinance that regulates the size or number of noncommercial (campaign) signs, to allow <br />these signs to be posted from 46 days before the state primary in a state general election <br />year until ten days following the state general election. This means that during the state <br />general election years the City must allow campaign signs to be posted 46 days before the <br />primary election (June 25 in 2010) rather than based on the last day of candidacy filing or <br />thirty days before an election as now set in the City Code. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Approve the introduction and first reading of Ordinance 847. This is an ordinance that <br />makes revisions to the City sign code - particularly to temporary sign regulations. It also <br />updates the current City campaign sign regulations (Section 1008.10) to make them <br />consistent with State law. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1. Proposed Ordinance 847 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
