Question from Anonymous

If the codes office issues the permits why cant they be responsible for the signs on the light poles and stuck all over town. and yes why dont we use our police to check all the yard sales I think thats a stupid statement. If you want them to do that then dont call them for any thing else. Have you seen how many yard sales that are being held and heaven forbid if they tell a little old lady to move. Get real people.Mr. Connely maybe the city could hire a yard sale task force. think that might work?

Steve Connelly answered:

Posting signs on utility poles and in city rights of way is prohibited. Yard sales are regulated to prevent annoyance to neighbors and control street safety. The majority of citizens obey these rules without police enforcement. Some need encouragement. Our new safety officers will assume this duty so that the police officers can focus on other areas.
