RANDY/BILLY OAKS. WHITE OAKS- OFF PREMISES SIGN AT 46 WHITE COURT
Motion and second were made by Aldermen Pickel/Elks to approve the off premises sign at 46
White Court.
Discussion: Alderman Schenck asked what type of advertising would take place on the sign and
if the advertisement would be for commercial purpose or charitable purposes. It is the
understanding that both types of advertising will take place and the City would not be able to
dictate what type of text is placed on the sign.
Attorney Peterson stated that passing this request could possibly be opening the City up to other
off premises sign requests.
Motion and second were made by Aldermen Pickel/Reed to amend the original motion to
approve the off premises sign for the LED portion only.
Alderman Reed suggested sending back to the committee for further review.
The amended motion was voted on:
