OTHER BUSINESS- Chairman Worthington addressed the sign ordinance; Would like a summary on what has previous been approved regarding the digital signs. Ex: location, size, digital restrictions, placement, messages content, transition, and animations. Until there is an updated sign ordinance, it is important that the board stay consistent with what is approved. Nathan VanEmbden states the boards’ purpose is the safe and health issue. The location of the sign should not be a distraction. Even though the render of the sign is to get one’s attention. The board would restrict never fresh rate of the display. Restrict animation. Content changed from time to time no more then every 8 seconds. State rules for a flashing sign. No explosions or confetti.
