,-ARZEN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: May 15, 2023 <br />AGENDA ITEM — 3H <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Nuisance Signs Discussion <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />For Council Consideration <br />Council should consider providing direction on a policy regarding nuisance signs. <br />Background <br />Per City Code, we do not generally allow signs to be placed in the right of way for commercial <br />advertising. There are exceptions when it comes to signs for events, such as, open houses and <br />garage sales. Signs that often appear along roadways for commercial purposes (i.e. We Buy Ugly <br />Houses or Moving Services) are not allowed. In the past, our code enforcement officer will pick a <br />designated time each week and pull prohibited signs. However, if a sign is placed after they pull <br />signs, it could sit out for a week without being pulled. There is also the issue of jurisdiction, most <br />signs are placed on County roadways and not City roadways. City Staff can pull signs from County <br />ROW or complaints could be forwarded to the County for handling. Council should provide some <br />direction on how often they would like signs pulled, and how to handle signage on non -City roads. <br />Keeping in mind, the more proactive we are about pulling signs and the more Staff we involve, the <br />more it will detract from other City business. <br />Budtet Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachment <br />N/A <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
