Discussion ensued about the current signs being non-conforming, the City Commission's recent approval of on-site digital signage, and the location and size of billboards. Mr. Randy Stevenson AICP, ASLA, Director, Community Development Department assured the Board Members that the Community Development Department has, "Worked with the Police Department on this to make sure that again, similar to what we did with electronic signs at the smaller level, that these don't present necessarily—they're genuine advertising mechanisms that by nature, by virtue of that very nature of what their intent is, they will get the attention of drivers but not for a period of time that, as Bobby (Howell) mentioned during our last presentation, that would be detrimental to traffic circulation." Discussion. "I AM GOING TO PROPOSE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM `500' AS PRESENTED WITH THE CAVEAT THAT THE CITY STAFF AND THE CITY MANAGER WORK WITH THIS YOUNG LADY TO SEE IF THE OTHER TWO CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE AS WRITTEN."
