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. Redevelopment Agency, Fire Protection District and City Council Minutes December 20, 2006 Page 16 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.
