Woolwich Committee sets 30-day window for political signs on township property before elections
Summary
After discussion, the Committee directed the code official to enforce a 30-day limit before elections for political signs placed on township-owned property, leaving private-property enforcement unchanged.
The Woolwich Township Committee discussed enforcement of political signage rules on Sept. 15 and agreed to direct the code official to enforce a 30-day window for political signs placed on township-owned property before an election. The Committee explicitly decided not to change enforcement regarding signs on private property.
The discussion followed an agenda item titled "Political Sign Moratorium Discussion." The minutes record that committee members engaged in extensive discussion before reaching the directive; no ordinance amendment or formal moratorium was adopted at this meeting. The Committee’s direction is administrative: it instructs staff to apply a 30-day limit on township property, and any further regulatory changes would require additional action.
The minutes do not record a vote specifically adopting a new ordinance or amending the code; they reflect a committee decision to issue enforcement guidance to the code official and maintain current practices for private-property sign enforcement.
