At their suggestion, I am transmitting a copy of a proposed draft 2 of this bill to you for your information. The attachments to the bill include a summary of the proposed changes. Bill 280 as well as Bill 280, draft 2, were discussed by the County Council on September 2, 1998. In light of the substantive changes contained in draft 2, the Council voted to return this bill to the Public Works and Parks Committee to allow further discussion on this matter. The Public Works and Parks Committee will consider Bi1128Q Bi11280 draft 2, and any additional proposed changes at a future meeting. I am already aware of one change that will be made to draft 2. This would involve deleting the proposed thirty day time limit that was added to pg. 11, sec. 3-9(a)(1)(c) relating to small signs. The Department of Public Works has informed me that the thirty day limit could pose a hardship on businesses that rely on the exemption to allow the posting of open & closed, entry & exit, and other signs of this type, and I concur. 1 also anticipate that other changes to the bill may be made in response to advice received from our Corporation Counsel relating to the legality of regulating the content of signs. I encourage you to submit your own comments regarding this proposed draft to Public Works and Parks Committee Chair Dominic Yagong. No , ~,e No. AD +tcf.
