TITLE
A RESOLUTION IMPOSING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON ENFORCEMENT OF
SECTION 17- 10 -050) OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TEMPORARY SIGNS ALLOWABLE FOR ALL DISTRICTS
WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
ISSUE
The provisions of Section 17 -10 -050) of the Pueblo Municipal Code allow only two (2)
temporary signs in all districts within the City of Pueblo. It has been suggested by
members of the public that this provision interferes with their ability to advertise their
support or opposition to more than two (2) election year issues and /or candidates
running for office. Since this restriction was recently adopted by the City and two
separate elections are being held in November 2005, it may be appropriate to impose a
temporary moratorium on enforcement of this restriction during the 2005 elections. This
temporary moratorium on enforcement will take place immediately upon passage of this
resolution and will end on November 15, 2005. Thereafter, if Council wishes to do so,
this restriction can be further reviewed, remain intact, or be amended.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
