To Fix Spring Hill Now-
We have people running that want to serve the city, but it seems they can't follow a simple city ordinance.I have read the sign ordinance over and over and it makes no provision for political campaign signs on a public right of way.As the ordinance reads, (see below) there is specific prohibition to signs in the right of way and a fine for such an infraction.The revised ordinance for political campaign signs extends the time the signs can be displayed, but grants no permission or implied permission to post such signs anywhere except private property.The ordinances, as interpreted by me, suggest these campaign signs littering the roadside are in violation of these ordinances.I realize this issue seems minor compared to other city affairs, but if a simple ordinance is not understood or followed, how are we going to trust future actions taken by the BOMA will adhere to standing law. Isn't that why the improper city funds transfers happened?Open, honest and candid communication is the only way to solve our problems.Current ordinance:10.3(9) *All signs must be on private property* and may be placed no less than fifteen (15) feet from the nearest edge of pavement and can be placed as directed by the Building Inspector at intersections, except general “Directional” signs for “Special Events” may be permitted in the public right-of-way, subject to the approval of the Building Inspector. The number of directional signs for each “Event” shall not exceed six (6) for any event.10.3(10) Penalties: It shall be unlawful to erect, construct, or maintain any sign, which is not permitted or is prohibited under the provisions of this ordinance. Any person who violates this ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor which upon conviction, shall be punishable by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100.00), each day such violation is continued.More on the issue here:http://www.columbiadailyherald.com/articles/2009/02/07/affiliate/advertisernews/news/04ordinance.txt-- Vinny Falcone
