Lindbergh Lions allowed to have their illegal off premise signs at LeBourget Park every year.

Here is another example of how the city operates "below the board."  I believe it was Greg Kimman(public works director) who gave permission to the Lindbergh Lions to erect their holiday decorations and off premise signs in LeBourget Park in November 2014 BEFORE GETTING COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO DO SO.  Notice, Greg says they installed them before getting the required council permission, due to the weather.  Hogwash.   They just didn't believe they had to abide by the law.  I don't think Greg thinks the city has to abide by the law.  This pretty much proves it.  A group they like does something illegal in the park and they get by with it.  Not only do they get by with it, the council gives them a green light to do this every year into the future.  That is the reward the Lions get for breaking the law.  See how this works?  You can be assured that if a peace group asked to put up a display of mock drones and anti-war signs in  ANY CITY PARK IT WOULD BE DENIED.    The city has set another precedent by making an exception to their park policy, and another bending of the sign ordinance.   They may be challenged in the future on this.   They may also be approached to make another exception to displays allowed in LeBourget.  Work session 3-3-15.
