Bee Gannon made a Motion to prohibit electronic signs in the Historic District and Don Taylor seconded the Motion. Motion carried unanimously. It was a consensus of the Committee to not regulate the color of the signs. Next, the Committee discussed brightness of signs. Will Biard said he had a problem with the definition of "reasonable person standard" and thought they should be more specific. Chairman Wilson suggested defining the standard as 5,000 NITS. Barbara Onstott said if the sign worked properly the brightness would not be a problem, because the signs are self - adjusting.
