for the sign draft and also for the City of Gem Lake to enforce the steps required <br />to obtain a sign permit. The biggest issue was changing the language of the <br />illuminated sign permit. The steps that will be taken are to have a design/plan <br />when filling out the permit paperwork and then presented to the Planning <br />Commission for their approval and then to Gem Lake City Council for final. <br />approval. When the sign is installed by the business, then the inspector will sign <br />off on it. Residential signs are for temporary use only on their property and do <br />not need a permit, but need to be taken down within a short period of time. The <br />pay scale for all permits is listed on the website and also when you apply for a <br />permit. The language will be changed and will be presented at a Public Hearing <br />at the Planning Commission meeting in August, 2009. At that meeting it will be <br />voted on, corrections made and then will be presented at the August, 2009, Gem <br />Lake City Council meeting. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Green Ordinance: Mayor Uzpen brought up that Gem Lake needs an <br />Ordinance for going green, i.e., windmill, antenna.
