Ordinance review committee to vet revised sign ordinance with city director and attorney

Councilor Moulton said the latest draft of the city's sign ordinance revisions is ready and that committee members will meet to review it. "I have corresponded with director Mish, and she has the latest iteration of the, revisions to the sign ordinance ready for, for me and Alan, Sewall to review. So we're setting up a meeting to do that," Councilor Moulton said.

The committee said it expects to schedule a session to present the revisions publicly and recommended inviting Director Mish and a building department enforcement official to the forum. The discussion framed the next meeting as an opportunity to gather implementation and enforcement detail before advancing any formal changes.

Committee members said Attorney Seawall has been backed up but is expected to meet with Councilor Moulton and Director Mish soon to go over the draft. "I haven't heard from attorney Seawall this week, but Director Mish said that he had a lot of things backed up. So I would expect, that sometime next week, we would, be meeting to go over her latest revisions," Councilor Moulton said.

Committee members agreed that the sign ordinance review could be the focus of the next committee meeting and that, in addition to city staff, the public should be invited to provide input on enforcement and impacts.

The committee did not take a formal vote on the ordinance revision at the meeting; members described scheduling follow-ups and said they will bring enforcement staff and Director Mish to a future forum for public discussion and questions.
