Commissioners Want
Changes In Sign Law
The haggling over a sign
ordinance for Polk County
reached down to the details
Monday night.
No agreement as to any final
law was reached by the Polk
County Board of Commission
ers. In fact, by a vote of three-
to-two, the board decided not
to pass the sign ordinance on
first reading, even with several
amendments.
Commissioners Sue Cochran,
Carson Deck and John Edwards
voted against passage, saying
they wanted to see a revised
draft of the ordinance before
accepting it.
The vote, however, was virtu

Atlorney R. Jay Foster said.
Since the board could only hold
a "first reading" of the ordi

how the vote went or even if a
vote was taken.
It would have taken a
unanimous vote to approve the
ordinance on first reading, Fos

however, a simple majority vote
can pass the ordinance.
Board chairman Jeannie Mar

board members had agreed after
the meeting that they would be
ready to take a vote at the
board's next meeting, Dec. 16 at
3 p.m.
"I am pretty sure the sign
ordinance will be passed,"
commissioner Sue Cochran said
Tuesday. But Cochran said she
