Board moves banner program forward, votes to seek legal review and add to next meeting

The board reviewed a draft banner program that sets minimum display periods, fees and vendor requirements and debated operational details such as installation responsibility and scheduling. One committee member summarized program minimums: "the banner program says that 4 weeks is the minimum that banners can be honed, and 10 banners is the minimum at $10 a month." Members discussed that banners should be installed only by approved vendors and whether a board officer (the secretary) should serve as the liaison for scheduling.

After discussion, a board member asked for a motion to proceed with legal review and placement on the next available board meeting agenda; another member moved and seconded the motion. The chair called the question and members voiced assent. The motion was to "proceed with setting the legal and getting it on the next available board meeting," and the board agreed to pursue legal review before implementation.

Next steps: staff will route the draft to legal counsel for review, the board will place the item on the next agenda for formal adoption, and staff will prepare implementation details including an approved-vendor list and an operational schedule.
