could write a new Ordinance with respect to political signs and felt the Council should adopt the Urgency
Ordinance before them and delete the 30 day limitation of putting up signs before the election.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he felt the City should fight and make the individual take down the signs.
He regretted that this has to be changed.
Councilmember Williams stated in every election she can remember, there has always been someone who
put their signs up too early. She stated she agreed with the City Attorney.
Councilmember Alexander stated he felt it was unfortunate the signs got put up early and felt it would be the
right gesture to take them down for the present time.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he did not think there was a court anywhere that would uphold Rancho
Cucamonga's sign ordinance.
MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Stout to direct the City Attorney to work with Brad Bullet to
review the sign ordinance regarding political signs and instruct staff not to enforce the 30 day limitation, but
to ask the candidates to adhere to the ordinance as part of good will.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this issue needs to be decided because of the Candidate's Tour to be held
on Saturday, September 10.
Motion carded 3-1-0-1 (Gutierrez voted no, Buquet abstained). The Urgency Ordinance was not approved.
