STAFF REPORT
At the .Mayor and Common Council meeting held on June 9,
1990, the Mayor and Councilmembers expressed great concern over
the Ordinance and Resolution establishing the Annual Sign Code
Inspection Sticker and Inventory Program. The Mayor and
Councilmembers had received numerous calls from constituents
regarding the applicability of the Ordinance and Resolution to
their signs.
On April 2, 1990 the Mayor and Common Council adopted MC-717
and Resolution 90-115 which required an annual sign code
inspection sticker for each legally permitted sign in the City
except temporary signs and those signs exempt under
San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 19.60.090 (copies of MC-
717, Resolution 90-115 and various sections of San Bernardino
Municipal Code Chapter 19.60 attached as Exhibits A, B, and C,
respectively) . The new Ordinance and Resolution required an
application and payment of a fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00)
for each sign by June 2,1990. This fee would double to Fifty
Dollars ($50.00) for each sign if not paid by July 2, 1990.
Although Ordinance MC-717 was adopted on April 2, 1990, it
did not become effective until sixty (60) days after its
adoption because of state law requirements. It was also
anticipated that the sixty (60) day lag-time would permit
sufficient publicity and notice so that sign owners would respond
by the June 2, 1990 due date.
On June 7th and 8th, 1990, the Department of Planning and
Building Services mailed out to 7,500 businesses a letter, Sign
Registration Application, and a copy of Resolution 90-115 (copy
of letter and application attached as Exhibit D). The result of
this poorly worded and late notice has been widespread public
confusion and frustration, especially compounded because the
Department was not able to initially answer the many telephone
calls inquiring about the sign fee. Several questions have
arisen as to whether the City should only require one
application and one fee for each lot (no matter how many signs
exist on the lot) and whether real estate "for sale" signs,
interior signs, and temporary signs are or should be exempt.
Attached as Exhibits E-l and E-2 are proposed amendments to
the Ordinance and Resolution addressing some of these issues. We
encourage the Mayor and Common Council to refer this matter to
the Legislative Review Committee for further review of these
proposed amendments.
This matter is on the Supplemental Agenda because the Mayor
and Common Council raised these concerns after the regular agenda
deadline for the June 18, 1990 Mayor and Common Council meeting.
