ALL COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN COPIED ON THIS EMAIL

Mr. Nelson,

As you have noticed once again illegal signs have proliferated in some areas. The ones you mention below have been picked up and businesses contacted. To stay ahead as much as possible on illegal signs, we have instituted a weekly log for use in tracking illegal signs removed (or businesses notified if on private property) and are ensuring the officers are driving these heavily signed routes. In addition, we are transitioning to enhanced staffing in areas that generate more code complaints including illegal signs. This will occur over the next few weeks.

As always thank you for your continued concern and care for Alachua County.

Missy

Ms. Lieberman,

Have you had an opportunity to enforce the code regarding the unpermitted “feather flags” and other signage at the location noted in my email of March 20? In the ensuing period, the illegal signage there, and just to the East on NW 39th Ave, has proliferated.
Thank you for enforcing the code in this area of public safety and quality of life.

If code enforcement would take a moment to enforce against these violations as they present, property owners will begin to realize they are a waste of money and discontinue their use. It has been demonstrated to be an effective, cost efficient remedy in other jurisdictions.
