Town frames digital-sign guidelines for event notices, nonprofits and safety messages
Summary
Staff proposed a simple digital-sign policy asking for two-week lead time, priority categories (town events, public safety, nonprofits), a cap on simultaneous items and short display durations; staff recommended a fair application process and advance notice.
Town staff presented draft digital-sign guidelines at the Oct. 20 work session outlining who may use the town's digital sign and how. The draft suggests posting for town-sponsored or partner events, public-safety notices and nonprofit community messages, with a recommended two-week lead time for submissions and limits on the number of simultaneous messages. Staff recommended reasonable display durations (about 8–10 seconds per message), a straightforward request process for nonprofits and a small-rotational set of messages to keep the sign readable.
Commissioners supported the idea of advance notice and fairness in allocating nonprofit placements and asked staff to draft a clear application and a notice process for public requests. The item will be refined with operational details and posted procedures.
