Excused 3- Wade, Davis and Donovan
2. 151211 A substitute ordinance relating to the authority of the Commissioner of
Public Works to post signs and other notices.
Sponsors: Ald. Witkowski
Deputy City Attorney Adam Stephens requested that this item be held because the
current draft is vague and a legal opinion would be required. It is unique because it is
putting up signs in the public right of way with public funds. Ald. Witkowski stated this
ordinance would allow the DPW Commissioner to post signs, decorations, and items
that already exist such as holiday decorations. The concern is mainly for panhandlers
who hang out at intersections and approach stopped cars.
Ald. Witkowski moved approval with the understanding that the City Attorney's office
will work with the Legislative Reference Bureau to finalize language.

FOR PASSAGE. This motion PREVAILED by the following vote:
