Re: Special Event Permits
Dear VFW Manager & /or Quartermaster:
Please be advised that City Ordinance 401.15.G. regulates the placement of temporary — special event
— signs (banners, Etc.). I have enclosed a copy of the special event permit application and ordinance
language for your review and use. If you have any questions regarding the requirements please feel
free contact me.
The "Fish Fry" banner currently placed at Omaha Ave. is an example of special event signage which
requires a special event permit.
With this letter you are directed to remove the banners prior to Monday, March 19 a site check shall
be made to verify that it has been removed. City Ordinance directs that no special event signs or
displays shall occur without first having obtained an approved special event permit. Permit
applications may be faxed to my attention, mailed to or dropped off at City Hall.
Please note that this is a City Ordinance requirement and that there is no charge for the permit.
Failure to obtain one prior to placing special event signage however is City Ordinance violation, which
offense is subject to a misdemeanor citation.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and welcome you to contact me anytime regarding
special event signage ordinance requirements.
Sincerely,
e ' ultman
PI ng & Code Enforcement Officer
