JACOBSON:I think he answered it better than I could. I have one question if I may pose and Im not trying to grill you all but I think this is more to Chris also. Should I- if you gave this positive consideration and I make changes to place this ordinance under 23 and 25 will I have to come before you again? Should I run this pass or what would be the procedure? YUEN:No, at this point what were asking is that- we ask that this comes to the Planning Commission cause it effects the zoning and subdivision ordinances. We would give a favorable recommendation with some, essentially technical kinds of proposals. We would work with you in putting that in a form that would be resubmitted to the Council.

Well- IWASHITA:Provides a certification- JACOBSON:I was troubled by some of the aspects of this or if somebody tears down the sign or somehow chooses not to comply. But like most of our laws Im rather sanguine that the laws are made for 99% are going to be following them. The people who lie I cant always control them and I think that the proof will out eventually. The truth will come out into the light of day that when they are getting their approvals, if its coming forward, theres a few of us that do pay attention to the notices and pay very close attention to whats happening. And its incumbent upon those of us who are paying very close attention to try to place everybody else. I think that thats what a lot of our society does so, theres no real teeth that we can really hurt people with it. But I think that theres some teeth so Im hoping that it would work. I think EXHIBIT B
