Cochran council amends sign ordinance to regulate liquor-store signage
Summary
The Cochran City Council voted unanimously to amend its Sign Ordinance to add provisions regulating signage at liquor store establishments so the ordinance conforms with state law.
The Cochran City Council voted unanimously July 11 to amend the city's Sign Ordinance to add a provision regulating signage at liquor store establishments to bring the code into conformance with state law. City Manager Richard Newbern and City Attorney Jim Elliott explained the amendment and its intent to align local regulation with state requirements. Councilmember Jimmy Jones moved to adopt the amendment; Councilmember Gary Ates seconded the motion, which passed 5–0.
The change was presented as an amendment to existing signage rules; council discussion as recorded in the minutes focused on compliance with state law rather than specific dimensional or content limits. The minutes do not list the ordinance text or cite a specific state statute, so the council action is recorded as adopting the amendment as presented and intended to ensure legal conformity.
The ordinance amendment was adopted on a voice vote with no recorded dissent. The council did not specify an effective date in the minutes; the ordinance text and any implementation guidance were not included in the record provided.
The council proceeded to other business after the vote.
