MOTION: Moved by Kurth that all discussed appointments are approved.
Councilmember Williams stated we get a lot of info from California Contract Cities and asked if we should
have a delegate for this.
Pamela Easter, Assistant to the City Manager, stated we do participate in this, and as more things come

stated we will continue evaluating this to see if we need to appoint a delegate.
The motion was seconded by Gutierrez. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. (see attached list of
subcommittees)
04. DISCUSSION OF MUNICIPAL CODES REGULATING POLITICAL SIGNS (CONTINUED FROM
DECEMBER 6, 2006).
Councilmember Gutierrez stated in response to the last election, he understands there is a Sign
Ordinance which includes political sign regulations. He stated he has heard people say there is "no teeth"
to it and certain things are not enforced. He asked why we need an Ordinance if we don't enforce it, and
asked if there are other cities that are tougher than we are. He asked if there is a way that the Campaign
Sign Ordinance can be made with tougher regulations.
James Troyer, Planning Director, stated they can survey other cities and compare everything.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated you can control political signs but added you have to treat political
signs the same as you do other signs like real estate signs. He stated the areas you can control are the
number of signs, the size and how long they are out there. He told about other cities and some of their
restrictions. He stated the key is not to treat political signs any more harshly than any other types of
signs. He said ycu could treat political signs as temporary signs with the restrictions he mentioned. He
stated you cannot control a billboard. He stated his office can work with staff and bring back an
enforceable Political Sign Ordinance.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt it would be good to do a study, collect Ordinances from other cities and
take the best from all of them, and also apply this to all signs in general.
Councilmember Michael agreed and felt we need something that is enforceable.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated staff needs to catalog all signs that are sponsored or promoted by
the City itself that go across or in the right-of-way to see what we would have to do with those in order to
do this Political Sign Ordinance.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated he has witnessed signs for many elections and added we have not had a
problem with any candidate complaining about the City taking their signs from the public right-of-way. He
told about staff advising the candidates of our sign regulations, including them being in the public-right-of
way and telling them these will be taken out. He stated the issue has been where we get involved with
signs on private property.
Councilmember Williams commented on statewide elections, i.e., judges races, etc. that do not care
about our sign regulations and do not pay attention to them.

Councilmember Gutierrez asked for staff to start researching this.
Councilmember Spagnolo felt public safety was also an issue as it relates to where signs are put up, and
also signs that are put in other cities by our City candidates. He felt this goes beyond the political signs
and how it is enforced. He said he would like to get some input from staff research and find something
that is more user friendly.
Councilmember Michael stated he concurs with Councilmember Gutierrez's recommendation and felt it
was time to look into this again.
Mayor Kurth asked about the personnel to enforce the sign regulations, and asked if this was part of the
problem.
Jack Lam, City Manager talked about the new Code Enforcement Officers indicating manpower would not
be an issue.
Trang Huynh, Building and Safety Official, talked about their program for enforcing the sign regulations
ACTION: The Council concurred that staff would bring back information for them to consider.
