03/28/2007: "90 Limit On All Road Side Memorials"

With few in attendance for a public hearing on road side memorials, the County Council voted to approve a 90 day limit on all roadside memorials. Memorials may continue to be placed, but -be they approved or not- they will be removed from public right-of-ways 90 days after they show up. It is hoped that those placing memorials will apply to Public Works for a permit. For those memorials that are already in place, the 90 period starts with the passage of the new ordinance.
