City Council approves first reading of updated sign code (Ordinance 866)
Summary
The Milbank City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 866, updating Chapter 17.25 (Signs and Outdoor Advertising) to revise definitions, permitting, and standards for signs including electronic message centers across zoning districts; no public testimony was offered during the hearing.
The Milbank City Council on March 9 approved the first reading of Ordinance 866, a rewrite of Chapter 17.25 of the City Code governing signs and outdoor advertising. Mayor Pat Raffety opened a public hearing and, after no members of the public addressed the council, members voted 5-0 to approve the first reading on the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The ordinance updates standards, definitions and permitting requirements for signs citywide and adds provisions covering electronic message centers. The hearing record notes that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval. Because this was a first reading, the ordinance will return for a subsequent reading and final action at a future council meeting, per the council’s normal ordinance process.
