Chair Moore asked about the removal of the signs at the motel.  Following a brief discussion, consensus of the Agency was to have the signs removed, and to have the City Planner look at the sign on the pole before removing it, to determine whether it could be replaced or if it needed to remain in place.
   
Discussion ensued regarding obtaining another dumpster and if that could be done during the week when the backhoe would be available to help move some of the larger items.
