Hope City Board bans street banners in special session
The Hope City Board of Directors met in special session at 9:30 a m to resolve banner rules for public streets. An old ordinance prohibits advertising material on light poles or in public easements but enforcement has been lax. The board adopted a policy banning banners and posters on streets except for local nonprofit or non political event notices and local candidate campaigns with approval from the City Clerk. Street placement on utility poles requires city representative supervision to avoid political bias amid many statewide candidates.
