Councilmember Sunde asked whether the proposed signage change had to be for multiple businesses or if it could just be for one. Mr. Gibbons explained that to qualify for this provision more than one tenant has to be in the space. Councilmember Sunde asked if a more powerful tenant would be able to have a bigger sign and the other tenant not have one at all. Mr. Gibbons stated that the City does not have control over whether one tenant would have power over another. Councilmember Sunde stated that he would like to make a motion to amend to ensure that the signage space must be split between tenants. Mayor Black clarified the intent of the motion to amend is to provide equitable signage between tenants. Councilmember Sunde stated that is correct. Councilmember Stubbe seconded the motion to amend. Councilmember Mumgaard asked if there is a building with 10 tenants, would the sign end up being unreadable. Mr. Gibbons stated that this proposed ordinance is specific to the area within the CBD District in the downtown overlay area and explained the square footage. Mr. Gibbons added that there may be only up to four tenants at a time in this area. 4 October 17, 2023 Councilmember Stubbe asked who would make the determination of percentage of usage of the sign between multiple tenants. Councilmember Sunde stated that unless there are objections between tenants, there should be no issues. Councilmember Glover asked if a building owner who leases out spaces to three other tenants can regulate how much signage the tenants can use. Mr. Gibbons stated that if it is to be equitable then the space would be split between all the tenants and the building owner. Councilmember Mumgaard stated that he would also like to add a provision where if a tenant did not want a sign the City would use discretion and not include that tenant in the total signage. Mr. Gibbons stated that the City would use discretion in that situation. Councilmember Mumgaard requested that those situations be brought before the Council.

HsiAL ) NEBRP-) P 7 October 17, 2023 My name is Zella Bowers. My address is 317 S Polk St in Papillion. In my second grade social studies class, we learned about city ordinances and laws. This got me thinking about a city ordinance I would like to see passed. I think we should move the night we Trick or Treat to the last Saturday of October. This would be a good idea for our community because many parents are off on Saturdays. Also, if it was on a Saturday, kids won' t have to wake up for school the next morning. When kids should be getting ready for bed, many are still out trick or treating or they have to cut the night short to get to bed on time. There are already communities in Iowa that have moved their Trick or Treating night. In Bondurant, Iowa, the town members were surveyed and 65% of the people wanted the night of trick or treating moved to the last Saturday of October. I have also talked to different people in our community. Teachers at my school, friends of my grandma and grandpa and my friends' parents all like the idea. According to the Nation Day Calendar, the Halloween Costume Association founded National Trick or Treat Day in 2019, which is on the last Saturday of the month. I know that it is too late to move the date for this year, but that gives time to communicate the day change for future Halloweens. Some ways we could communicate the day change in Papillion is to put signs and banners up, put the information in the water bill letter and maybe pass out flyers in the Papillion Days Parade. Thank you!
