Tomorrow, June 30th, I will be updating the DERELICTION OF DUTY post to show how unfairly and inconsistently Little Falls Police Department, zoning administrator Ben Oleson, and city staff/council/atty Toni Wetzel have been enforcing the sign ordinance, OPPOSITE of how it is supposed to be enforced. The sign ordinance is a LAW. Laws are ALL supposed to be enforced uniformly(fairly and consistency). I have VOLUMES of pictures and reports to show the citys bias, and unfair, ILLEGAL enforcement. Is the city INVITING another lawsuit. Sure seems like it. Stay tuned.
Here's a teaser....this photo below was taken at 8:21am this morning Monday 6-29-15. These are the same 2 signs that Officer Jeremy Doroff said in his police report that he informed the person having the sale that he was taking the sign from the electric pole in the road right of way on Friday June 26th.
Now what do you suppose would happen if I nailed a sign to a telephone pole or affixed a bicycle with a garage sale sign on it to a stop sign in the road right of way. Do you think the cops would turn a blind eye to mine, like they did for Alderman Brad Hircock and this homeowner north of the medical clinic?
Since Little Falls city govmint has NO INTENTION of ever enforcing the sign ordinance fairly, city council should delete the sign ordinance, just as it did the Golf Advisory Board LAW they never in 27 YEARS enforced.
Cities of Royalton, Bloomington,Willmar and countless others ALLOW garage sale and other off premise event signs in residential districts.
Don't you think it might be wise for Little Falls to amend the sign ordinance to allow limited garage sale, church supper, boutique, sports events signs, as these other cities have done?
If enough people sign the petition to repeal the sign ordinance the voters would have a deciding factor through a referendum. There is an online petition to sign that somebody started. Look it up and sign it if you believe the city doesn't need a sign ordinance. Or do nothing and watch what happens in the future. Don't complain about another lawsuit, if you are silent.
