and Members of the City Council

Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Council President Lantry and Councilmembers:
In 2006, I vetoed Council File 06-162, which prohibits the establishment of "roof signs."
I stated at the time that although I share with you the goal of eliminating billboard-like
rooftop signs as exhibited at the public hearing on March 1, 2006, I was concerned the
language in Council file 06-162 should have been more specific.
On December 26, 2007, the Council passed Council File 07-1026, which again prohibits
the establishment of "roof signs." As in 2006, I remain concerned that this ordinance is
overly broad. Given this ordinance's neaz unanimous adoption, and given that no other
metro area city allows for the establishment of rooftop signs, I am returning this file to
you unsigned.
I look forward to working with you and the newly elected Council in 2008 on many great
pxojects.
Sinc ,
Christopher
Mayor
