City Officials and Effective Sign Codes – Can This Be True?
Mayors, city council members and city staff –the very people who usually vote on and approve sign ordinances – gathered at the recent National League of Cities (NLC) annual Congress of Cities & Exposition in Austin, TX. Continuing outreach to public officials on behalf of the sign industry, ISA’s James Carpentier and Kenny Peskin attended NLC with great success. They educated hundreds of city officials about sign code issues; answered attendees sign code questions and presented the latest information covering sign regulation issues. “Our goal in participating in the NLC show is to educate city officials from all over the country on the important role that on-premise signage plays in the success of businesses and the health of communities,” said David Hickey, ISA’s vice president of government relations. “By engaging in dialogue with associations like NLC, their show and with rank-and-file city officials at the local level, we can help communities draft the most reasonable and effective sign codes possible.” For further information, please contact David Hickey.
