Dear Council President Lanhy and Councilmembers:
As you know, you recently sent me three ordinances related to signs. I signed two of the
three ordinances: Council File 06-160, which prohibits "billboard" extensions to
nonconforming signs; and Council File 06-161, which prohibits the electrification or
illumination of advertising signs.
It is my understanding the intent of Council File 06-162, which prohibits the
establishment of "roof signs", is to eliminate signs functioning as billboazds under the
guise of rooftop signs. I share with you the goal of eliminating billboard-like rooftop
signs as eachibited at the pubIic hearing on March 1, 2006.
I am concerned the language in Council File 06-162 is overly broad. For this reason, I am
vetoing Council File No. 06-162 and returning it to you. I look forwazd to working with
you to address this con m and accomplish oar goal.
