Board votes to ban signs on park property
Summary
The Columbia City Parks Board approved a motion authorizing staff to remove campaign and other signs from park grounds and to ask residents not to place signage on park property; movers and vote-by-name were not recorded in the transcript.
A board member moved that signs of any kind not be allowed on Columbia City park property; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. Parks staff said signs—especially scattered election or garage‑sale signs—create mowing difficulties and safety hazards for park users.
"If you let one in and two and three then you're going to have a whole bunch of signs and mowing around it," a board member said, urging removal. Staff will remove unauthorized signs and will designate that signage scattered across the park is not permitted; one member suggested identifying a single, limited location for permitted postings if the board wants a compromise.
The transcript records the motion and the board vote in favor but does not list a roll‑call tally or identify the mover or seconder by name. The vote authorizes staff to remove signs and asks the public not to place them on park property.
