Item 2 · City code
Site sign posting requirements for public meetings
Approved · 6-0
Council Member Monica Zoltanski sponsored a proposal for additional signs posted on a site before public meetings about it. Council Member Brooke Christensen suggested excluding annexations and adjusting the fee schedule to cover the added cost. Community Development Director James Sorensen discussed including or excluding annexations and raising fees. Council Member Kris Coleman-Nicholl agreed on excluding annexations and questioned whether Sandy could require annexing parties from other jurisdictions to follow the rules; City Attorney Bob Thompson and Sorensen agreed to research that authority. Council Member Marci Houseman asked about unintended consequences and about checking that posted signs stay intact, Council Member Alison Stroud expressed support, and Council Chair Zach Robinson asked how the 10-day posting period was set and suggested shortening it. Jodi Monaco spoke in favor and a letter from Jessica Davies in favor was read into the record. The motion directed staff to prepare an ordinance in line with the discussion.
