Salt Lake City Looks at EMC Regulations
On Tuesday, the Salt Lake City Council held a public hearing concerning proposed regulations for electronic message centers. ISA’s James Carpentier testified before the council in opposition to the proposed ordinance, along with 34 individuals, including members of the Utah Sign Association, the Western States Sign Council, the Salt Lake City Downtown Alliance and several end users. The major issues brought up at the hearing in regard to the proposed EMC ordinance included the proposed dwell time, safety restrictions, separation requirements for EMCs from residential districts and the commingling of EMC and billboard regulations. As a result of the sign industry’s well-organized and effective efforts, the council directed staff to set up a meeting with stakeholders to work through the major issues identified at the public hearing.
