Attorney Meyers reviewed the definition of a sign in the ordinance. Mr. Paradise
asked what a Naegele sign would be considered, commercial advertising or as an
election sign. Administrator Achen stated that the proposed ordinance limits the
size so that a candidate that could afford to advertise on a Naegele sign, might
not be allowed to. However, it could be considered legal under the commercial
advertising provisions of Chapter 39.
Jerry,Linke 2319 Knoll Drive, asked if a tree or telephone pole could be used
for a sign. Attorney Meyers stated that NSP and the telephone company enforce
their own rules on this.

Mayor Pickar stated that he was in complete agreement to clarifying the ordinance,
but passing an amendment during the campaign may be misconstrued, so he voted nay.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that if all the candidates have to comply with
this ordinance he does not see how it can be construed as a political move during
an election.
ORDINANCE AMENDING SNOWBIRD REGULATIONS
Attorney Meyers reviewed the proposed ordinance which amends snowbird regulations.
MS (Hodges - Rowley) to adopt Resolution No. 255.
Councilmember Shelquist stated he does not understand the proposed requirements for
snowbirds. "Blowing snow" would appear that the grader has been by and you can park,
but within 48 hours blowing snow could fill the street back in and you will be in
violation. Section B says a warning tag must give 24 hours notice and the proposed
ordinance allows 4 hours. Administrator Achen explained that in Section A the
words "blowing snow" were inserted because they were in the Coon Rapids ordinance.
The prior proposal required certification that three inches has fallen. In some
areas the snow may blow and drift to a depth requiring plowing even though three
inches had not fallen. It is not intended to burden the vehicle owner but to allow
some latitude for snow plowing. The reason for Section B is to allow the plows to
go back and clean -up the streets even if no snow has fallen.
