Sedly Barsness, President
Laurel Chamber of Commerce
POB 395
Laurel, MT 59044
Dear President Barsness:
I appreciate the interest shown by the Chamber in the temporary sign
ordinance draft.
I think the most effective and constructive manner for the Chamber
to have further input on the ordinance is for the Chamber to go
through the draft, make any changes, deletions, etc. they want to
see, and then forward the draft with revisions to the City Council
along with a specific recommendation.
This will be a productive way to express the Chamber's position and
will provide the Council some specific input and direction.

'The results of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce Temporary Sign O'disauce /WHY are as follows:
20 survey sheets were distributed to Chamber of Commerce members. = - ------
31 completed survey sheets were returned to the Chamber Office.
6 favored the ordinance
10 opposed the ordinance
S were indifferent to the ordinance
2 favored the ordinance but had the following cements:
...1 think the City Council should go ahead and install
some controls on temporary signs -their use has been
abused in the past. Maybe a small fee of $5.00 or
110.00 could be set for registering the signs.
...I don't understand the reason for fees charged.
4 opposed the ordinance but had the following cements:
...We in the Real Estate business use temporary 'For
Sale' signs on our listed properties. 1 am opposed
to any ordinance that would govern the use of these
signs.
...This would be a disaster to the Real Estate Industry
and home sellers.
..Against any ordinance accept for traffic and sidewalk
control for safety reasons.
...We have enough ordinances.
1 was indifferent to the ordinance with the following
comments:
...no merchandise and oo signs. Do both or none.
3 offered other comments:
...Only deal with issues that pertain to safety.
...This ordinance carries too many points of interest.
This city charges enough, now, for existing business
to do business in Laurel. Special signs for special
occasions should never be taxed. Temporary business'
should be taxed to use city improvements. Temporary
signs should not cause a safety problem or be put on
public property. Signing should be on private
property only. To limit temporary signs to only
commercial property is absurd. The individuals of
this community, which pay their share, are entitled to
to signs for specific occassions they wish to
announce. Example: mom and dads anniversary, a
benefit for a crippled child, etc. To require
special permission from a city group to put items out
on a sidewalk, which that business must maintain, is
taking the basis for responsiblity away from your
local business leaders and promotional attitudes, and
sending it to another government group which is en-
needed.
...I feel the signs would be o.k. if they do not interfer
with any sidewalk or traffic safety problems only on
commercial property. I feel there should be no fee
charged but must be cleared with the city to display
the signs.
Summary:
8 favored the ordinance with or without comment
14 opposed the ordinance with or without cement
6 were indifferent to the ordinance with or without cement
