SUMMARY OF COUNCIL DIRECTION ON HANDLING OF SPECIAL EVENTS SIGNS, OFF-PREMISES DIRECTIONAL SIGNS FOR INSTITUTIONAL USES, AMORTIZATION OF NONCONFORMING SIGNS SPECIAL EVENTS SIGNS FOR PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL USES Generally speaking, the Council chose to offer a bit more flexibility than had been recommended. The suggested standard was for signs and decorations to be allowed four days per event and two events per year. The Council offered three events per year, or the option of allowing them up to twelve days per year to use in any way they chose. The later idea seems to us to offer the maximum flexibiliûy while still maintaining some control over the use of special events signs. We also talked with the Council about how to administer and enforce these standards. They agreed with the suggestion that the organization would apply for a single permit covering all of their special events sign needs throughout the year. This would be kept on file at City Hall and would be considered a standing permit and would only have to be amended if the organization wanted to vary from their approved program. The Council did want us to discuss this matter with the Planning Commission and bring back a recommendation.
