hearing was closed.
James and Gail Davis requested the Board's approval based on
the proffered condition.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Ms. Orr stated staff
is reviewing language for conditions that would require the
sign's programming to be "locked" in order to display only
messages that comply with the County's policy and that would
give the Planning Director that administrative ability
through a sign permit process to alter a sign's requirements
(such as for message color, timing and permitted lines of
copy) if the sign would still meet the policy. She further
stated when this case was brought before the Planning
Commission, the applicants provided written confirmation from

not have the ability to be locked. She stated the Planning

the Board to approve Case 11SN0146 and accept the proffered
condition.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Ms. Orr stated .the
applicant's sign does not have the capability to be locked
due to the way it was manufactured. She further stated it is
her understanding that the technology exists that would give
manufactures the ability to lock programming for electronic
message center signs.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Turner stated
staff is in the process of contacting the sign vendors and
manufacturers on the issue of imposing the lock feature on
signs. He further stating this specific requirement is not
currently in the Board's policy.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to the necessity for
enforcement of sign violations and stated a policy change to
require a locking feature for electronic message center signs
should be adopted by the Board. He further stated it would
not be fair to penalize the applicant, whose proposal
conforms to the current policy. He stated message signs have
the capability of being locked.
Ms. Jaeckle stated it would be unfair to impose a "locking"
conditions in this case or hold up the applicant to run this
possible policy change through the planning process since
their proposal conforms to all the conditions of the current
policy.
Mr. Gecker stated he would need more information regarding
the process of locking electronic message signs and expressed
concerns relative to cost effectiveness.
Mr. Gecker then called for a vote on the motion of Ms.
Jaeckle, seconded by Mr. Gecker, for the Board to approve

Mr. Warren asked Mr. Stegmaier to look into the feasibility
of software that can be programmed to meet the condition
proposed by Mr. Olsen.
Mr. Gecker asked Mr. Stegmaier to review the industry norm
and costs associated with the ability to lock an electronic
message sign.
Mr. Warren requested that Mr. Stegmaier provide the Board
with mechanisms that staff would use to determine on a
regular basis whether signs are violating the policy.
Ms. Durfee stated staff should provide preliminary
information to the Board regarding the capability of
electronic message signs being locked.
Mr. Holland then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for

proposed new policy change relative to a locking function for
electronic message center signs and provide a preliminary
