BANNERS ALONG HUTTON CENTRE <br /> <br />Staff presentation by Mary Gonzales and Teri Cable intended to receive Committee <br />support to permit the installation of banners on public light standards along the public <br />right of way in the Hutton Centre area. Staff brought the issue to the Committee since <br />current public policy was to only permit non-profit charitable organizations the right to <br />place banners on public light standards. <br /> <br />Ms. Jody Coats and Ms. Jami Small representing CB Richard Ellis and Hutton Centre <br />Business association provided a package of material identifying the banners requested <br />by the group. <br /> <br />Mr. Kaufman asked the Committee to allow him to determine if it were legally <br />appropriate to respond in this forum. He also asked if the association would consider <br />installing stanchions on private property thereby making the issue a land use matter <br />which would be referred to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />The item was continued to the next meeting. <br />3. CODE ENFORCEMENT STAFFING <br /> <br />Bruce Dunams presented an overview of the adjustments to code enforcement staffing <br />made since the fiscal year budget adjustments and retirements that recently occurred in <br />the community preservation division. He explained in detailed how the workload has <br />been redistributed over the existing staffing with emphasis on maintaining priority within <br />the neighborhoods and the proactive code enforcement efforts. <br /> <br />13C-1 <br />
