THIS CONCLUDES YOUR BALLOT ORDER.
UM, I'LL NOW ASK THAT ARIEL, MR. ARIEL GARCIA.
I BELIEVE HE'S VIRTUAL WILL COME FORWARD AND, AND SPEAK.
HE'LL BE SPEAKING ON THE CITY OF DALLAS'S MUNICIPAL REGULATIONS OF POLITICAL SIGNS.
IS YOUR YES, YOU MAY CONTINUE.
UH, THIS MORNING I WISH TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL, UM, A BIT OF INFORMATION REGARDING OUR MUNICIPAL REGULATION OF POLITICAL SIGNS.
UM, I HAVE SHARED ON MY, ON THE SCREEN, I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN SEE A LITTLE SHEET, WHICH IS SHARED ON THE CITY SECRETARY'S WEBSITE, UH, WHICH WILL PROVIDE FURTHER CLARITY ON THE REGULATIONS FOR THESE SIGNS.
TO START WITH, A PERMIT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR ANY POLITICAL SIGNS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WITH CONSENT OR PROPERTY OWNER, UNLESS THE SIGN HAS AN EFFECTIVE AREA GREATER THAN 36 FEET.
IF, UH, THE SIGN IS MORE THAN EIGHT FEET HIGH ILLUMINATED OR HAS MOVING ELEMENTS.
ALSO THE PROPERTY OR EASEMENT ALLOWS FOR CITY USE FOR PROPERTY OR PUBLIC PURPOSES.
LASTLY, IF THE STRUCTURE IS AVAILABLE FOR RENT OR PURCHASE, SUCH AS BILLBOARD FOR CLARITY, THESE ARE LOCATIONS IN WHICH SIGNS ARE ALLOWED WITHOUT A PERMIT.
LASTLY, IF THE STRUCTURE IS AVAILABLE FOR RENT OR PURCHASE, SUCH AS BILLBOARD FOR CLARITY, THESE ARE LOCATIONS IN WHICH SIGNS ARE ALLOWED WITHOUT A PERMIT.
THE BIGGEST KEY POINT WE WISH TO SHARE IS THAT A SIGN MAY NOT BE PLACED ON A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.
SIGNS THAT DO REQUIRE PERMITS MAY NOT BE PLACED ON RULES.
[00:30:01]
FUND MAY BE PLACED ON PUBLIC PROPERTY THAT SERVES AS AN EARLY VOTING LOCATION OR AN ELECTION DAY VOTING LOCATION FOR AN ELECTION.ONLY SIGNS THAT REFER TO THE CANDIDATE OR ISSUES THAT IS ON THE BALLOT AT THE PARTICULAR VOTING LOCATION MAY BE PLACED AT THAT VOTING LOCATION.
A TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN MAY BE PLACED ON PUBLIC PROPERTY FOR THOSE, UH, VOTING LOCATIONS, BUT IT MAY NOT HAVE AN EFFECTIVE AREA GREATER THAN 20 SQUARE FEET.
BE MORE THAN EIGHT FEET HIGH, BE ILLUMINATED, HAVE ANY MOVING ELEMENTS OR BE PLACED IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.
LASTLY, THE SIGN MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO PROJECT MORE THAN 18 INCHES FROM A WALL ROOF PARAPET OR E NOTHING AUTHORIZES A PERSON TO PLACE A TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN ON A PUBLIC PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OTHER THAN THE CITY IF SUCH PLACEMENT IS NOT ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY.
UH, LASTLY, NOTHING ALLOWS A PERSON TO PLACE A TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN IN A FORM, MANNER, OR LOCATION PROHIBITED BY ANY OTHER CITY OR NEXT STATE OR FEDERAL LAW.
A PERSON COMMITS AN OFFENSE IF THE PERSON PLACES OR, OR IS THE CAUSE OF PLACEMENT FOR A TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN ON PUBLIC PROPERTY IN VIOLATION OF ANY PROVISION OF THE CITY ORDINANCE OR IF THIS PERSON PLACES OR CAUSES THE PLACEMENT OF A TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN ON PUBLIC PROPERTY EARLIER THAN TWO CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR THAN EARLY VOTING OR TWO CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO ELECTION DAY VOTING.
LASTLY, IT IS A VIOLATION IF YOU FAIL TO HAVE THESE TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGNS REMOVED FROM THESE VOTING LOCATIONS TWO CALENDAR DAYS AFTER EARLY VOTING OR TWO CALENDAR DAYS AFTER ELECTION.
LASHLEY, IT IS A VIOLATION IF ANY PERSON FAILS TO REMOVE ANY TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGN FROM PUBLIC PROPERTY WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION FROM THE CITY THAT THE SIGN IS IN VIOLATION.
THE CITY MAY WITHOUT NOTICE CONFISCATE, DISPOSE OF ANY SIGN THAT IS PLACED IN VIOLATION OR NOT REMOVED AS REQUIRED.
NOW WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE CLARITY.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES TO OUR STANCE AS FAR AS POLITICAL SIGNS.
WE, WE HOPE TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND IF ANY FURTHER CLARITY IS NEEDED ON PLACEMENT OR ABUSE OF POLITICAL SIGNS, YOU MAY REACH OUT TO THE CITY OF DALLAS COCO COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT AND WE MAY ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
MR. GARCIA AND I FAILED TO MENTION MR. GARCIA.
GARCIA IS, UH, AN A MANAGER WITH THE CITY'S CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT.
UH, MR. GARCIA, I THINK THERE IS A QUESTION FOR YOU.
IS THERE ANY ENDORSEMENT FOR, UH, THESE RULES? BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY SIGNED OUT AND THEY ARE IN A RIGHT WAY AND SOME HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHECKED BY CO COMPLIANCE AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDATIONS MADE FOR THOSE REMOVALS AND IT HASN'T BEEN DONE.
SO I BELIEVE THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE AN ENFORCEMENT? WHAT IS THE ENFORCEMENT SMITH? YES.
ANY, ANY SIGN THAT IS PLACED ON A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.
UM, OUR, OUR TEAM WILL ISSUE A NOTICE OF VIOLATION, UH, TO THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR THE RESPONSIBLE CAMPAIGN AND GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETRIEVE OR REMOVE THE SIGN OR PLACE IT IN AN AREA THAT IS ALLOWED.
UH, AGAIN, FAILURE TO REMOVE THAT SIGN WITHIN THE AN APPROPRIATE TIME TIMELINE GIVES THE CITY THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE THE SIGN ONLY IF IT IS IN A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.
NOW, THESE SIGN, AGAIN, ARE ALLOWED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AS LONG AS THERE IS, UH, CONSENT OF THE PROPERTY OWNER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK.
WE HAVE A LOT OF ORDINANCES THAT DON'T HAVE ANY TEETH AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
THERE ARE SKIRTING OF ELECTION RULES AND IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS FOR MR. GARCIA, AGAIN, HE'S WITH THE CITY'S COLD COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT.
I WILL PROVIDE A CO UH, CONTACT INFORMATION TO ALL OF THE CANDIDATES.
THAT'S, THAT CONCLUDES THIS SEGMENT AND ALSO THE BALLOT DRAWING.
I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, MAKE YOU AWARE, I BELIEVE STAFF HAS DISTRIBUTED THE FINAL BALLOT ORDER.
THAT BALLOT ORDER WILL ALSO BE PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE FOR THOSE THAT ARE VIRTUAL AND IT WILL BE EMAILED TO ALL OF THE CANDIDATES.
AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL PARTICIPANTS AND ATTENDEES, AND THE TIME NOW IS 8:54 AM AND THIS CONCLUDES THE 2023 BALLOT DRAWING.
