Resolution
for Cities
This is a
Resolution that City, Town, Village and County governments can pass to
express support for statewide billboard control legislation. You
should take steps to get it on the agenda of the Common Council of your
city, and of neighboring cities where you can. You can start by asking
your alderman in your neighborhood to introduce the Resolution at the next
city council meeting. You can expect your alderman to be well-informed
on signage regulation and he/she is likely to be supportive of the Resolution.
Your alderman will help you promote the Resolution since he/she is your
public servant. He may ask you for background information.
You can point out the fact that this is not an untried new idea since 5
states already have state-wide billboard controls. Answers to other
questions can generally be found elsewhere in the CSW web site. If
you know someone more powerful than an alderman, talk to him. This
type of resolution which supports legislation of interest to the city is
not unusual in most cities. If you don't hear back from your alderman
or other contact after a reasonable period of time, give him a call to
find out the status of the Resolution. |
