‘We have a few events, like our upcoming Vacation Bible School, in which we use the sign to advertise as well,’ he said. ‘I”m all in favor of beautifying the city, but I don”t think this is a wise decision personally.’
Council member Sam Glover said if the landlord doesn”t allow for a permanent sign to be put up, Strader could apply for a variance to keep the current sign.
Mayor Ann Bradshaw added the council has been discussing making changes to the ordinance and a work session has been scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, at 5:30 p.m., to address the matter further.

City Clerk-Treasurer Karen McQueen said the current rate is set at $.0286, and the increase would create additional funding for the city.more
