Ordinary committee business: sign ordinance review, tax work-off fix, handicap sign removal
Summary
The committee closed the public hearing on a sign ordinance (Planning Board found existing code sufficient and recommended enforcement), marked an order on senior tax work-off payments as complied with after staff confirmed a scheduling fix, and approved removal of a handicap sign at 894 Dwight Street by roll call.
The Ordinance Committee handled several administrative and enforcement matters on March 4.
Sign ordinance: Councilor Bacon presented an order prompted by constituent concerns about a proliferation of advertising signs on public property. The Planning Board reported the ordinance already prohibits much conduct and recommended enforcement rather than code changes; the committee closed the public hearing and accepted the Planning Board recommendation that no ordinance change is necessary at this time.
Senior tax work-off program: Councilor Vagan said staff and the chief assessor confirmed a prior billing issue had been resolved and that earned tax-credit installments would be applied to the third and fourth quarters as intended; the committee marked that order complied with.
Handicap sign removal: The committee approved removal of the handicap sign at 894 Dwight Street by roll call after confirming DPW procedure, and then adjourned.
