[RP TownTalk] Sign Bandits

[Vernon Archer]

Nancy,

I guess we are seeing and speaking of somewhat different things.  I
certainly didn't mean to claim that the town had recently had a push to
remove all signs "en mass"; I only said that signs are regularly
removed. If there are places where they tend to not get removed, either
letting code, me or your councilman know would be welcome information in
helping us to keep the town clean.

Please don't take any chances with your safety or your kids safety either;
I just joined in with the idea that all of us can pitch in and help make
sure the signs come down. Thank you for voluntarily helping out.

I plan to discuss with code, police and public works what we can do to
have a regular "sweep" of the town in order to do a better/more thorough
job. I'll let you know what we come up with.

Best wishes,

Vern
