Organizational City Council Minutes —1/5/04 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 22 <br />limited to their display time. <br />Councilmember Schroeder noted his concern that City <br />signage comply with City policy; and supported returning <br />the item to the Consent Agenda for action. <br />John Kysylyczyn, 3083 Victoria Street N <br />Mr. Kysylyczyn noted that he had done his own research <br />on City Code, Signage Section 1009.031 related to <br />banners and sandwich board signage, and noted that they <br />were prohibited in all zoning districts. Mr. Kysylyczyn <br />noted the non-compliance of the City in allowing the Fire <br />Department to use both types of signage for advertising <br />purposes; and challenged the City's application as a policy <br />issue. <br />Mayor Klausing requested City Attorney Anderson to <br />advise the Council if the proposed action created any <br />policy concerns for the City. <br />City Attorney Anderson briefly reviewed the definition of <br />banners as defined in City Code, and materials used; and <br />was proceeding with further comment when interrupted by <br />Mr. Kysylyczyn. <br />Mr. Kysylyczyn reiterated that these types of signs were <br />prohibited in all zoning districts; and challenged the City <br />Council's intent to allow permission for signage that the <br />general public could not receive; and as a general public <br />policy question, if this was setting a precedent. <br />Mayor Klausing cautioned Mr. Kysylyczyn, noting that he <br />had respected Mr. Kysylyczyn's former status as mayor in <br />allowing a great deal of leeway in tonight's public <br />comment; advising that Mr. Kysylyczyn's comments had <br />been duly noted, but the Council would be proceeding <br />with their discussion and action at this time. <br />Once order had been restored by Mayor Klausing, City <br />Attorney Anderson continued his response to previous <br />questions related to the sign permit issue. Mr. Anderson <br />
