Mr. Miller stated that all nonconforming signs observed are removed, and that efforts are made to enforce the ordinance impartially. Mr. Martin stated he has been in his residence for 19 years, and that he does not agree with Mr. Miller's assertions. Mr. Martin stated that real estate signs and election campaign signs are not removed. Mr. Miller stated that he has been advised not to have political campaign signs removed as they are on private property, and also because they have freedom of expression issues associated with them. Mayor Bacon suggested to Mr. Martin that, after the HOA's signs are recovered, the signs should be repositioned on private property. Mr. Martin stated an e-mail he received from a City marshal contains information to the effect that yard sale signs can only be in the actual yard where the sale is occurring. Council Member Hawkins asked Mr. Miller if the HOA's signs were in violation of the sign ordinance, and Mr. Miller expressed the view that they were. Mr. Miller stated the suggestion Mayor Bacon made for repositioning the HOA's signs on private property may be a possible solution. Mr. Miller offered to send a City staff member to meet with the HOA to check proposed locations for placement of the signs to make certain they will not be in violation of the sign ordinance. Mr. Martin thanked those present for their attention. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:48 p.m. ,,- ~<la/rOV. V6f-~ SUSAN D. HIOTT, CITY CLERK A.
