For the Planning Services Department's FY2013 operating budget, a new fee of $50.00
per year for inspection of on- premise electronic message center signs has been
recommended. Inspections would ensure compliance with the zoning regulations for
on- premise content, animation and timing. There are approximately 30 electronic
message center signs in town. Increased revenue is estimated to be $1,500. A
resolution and a revised fee schedule are enclosed.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and fee schedule.
