Definition “Kiosks Panel Sign” A sign placed in the public right-of-way, pursuant to a written agreement with the city, that contains individual panels and, is generally used to provide direction to residential single-family or two-family subdivisions, commercial districts or municipal facilities from major thoroughfares.

Everything has to go before the City Council, they have the right to accept or refuse any recommendation made, they decide if we allow the sign or not.

Dale Cavin made a motion that we recommend adding the subsection providing for Kiosks Panel Signs, as written by the attorney, under section 19.23 of the Sign Ordinance. Janet Sloane seconded. Motion carries.
