Council approves ordinance easing sign restrictions for liquor-licensed businesses
Summary
Council approved an ordinance to exempt liquor-licensed businesses from certain state restrictions on the number of signs, especially neon window signs, to support small businesses, according to Paul Dillon.
Council member Paul Dillon said the council approved a new ordinance that exempts businesses holding liquor licenses from some state restrictions on the number of signs they may post, particularly neon signs around windows and establishments. Dillon described the ordinance as “a fun ordinance to work on” and said it is intended to support small businesses.
The transcript does not include the ordinance text, the specific state restriction cited, the exact language of the exemption, or vote totals. Dillon framed the change as a measure to support small businesses; no opponents or public commenters were recorded in the provided excerpt.
Because the transcript references “state restrictions” without naming a statute or code, the article does not assert a specific statutory citation. The city’s ordinance language and any state-level legal review would be available in the official ordinance file and meeting minutes.
