Main St. Meeting Room A, Roswell, NM 88201 Sign Ordinance ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss and Consider Roswell’s Sign Ordinance and any potential amendments.

This was to give time to either amend the sign ordinance or to re-establish the expectations of the current sign ordinance. FINANCIAL There is no expected impact to finances unless sign ordinance is CONSIDERATION: significantly changed. LEGAL REVIEW: No legal review is needed at this time. BOARD and/or Provide input to the City Manager on what to consider in COMMITTEE ACTION: prioritization of projects. This will not require City Council approval unless Legal Committee determines amendments to the current ordinance are warranted. STAFF Discuss and Consider Roswell’s Sign Ordinance and any potential RECOMMENDATION: amendments.
