CONSIDERATION OF PLACEMENT OF A BANNER OVER ARDMORE ON PIER AVENUE FOR THE GRAND OPENING OF THE RALPH'S FRESH FARE.City Attorney Jenkins responded to Council questions, noting that the current policy allows commercial banners at only two locations - one on Pacific Coast Highway and the other on Aviation Boulevard. City Manager Burrell added that the applicant for a commercial banner is always a non-profit organization, and noted that the Pier Avenue location is used only for announcements by Hermosa Beach non-profits of community events. In response to Council questions, Public Works Supervisor Flaherty said the cost for using the equipment to install a banner is $200 per hour. Coming forward to address the Council on this item was:
Proposed Action: To amend the commercial banner program by adding Pier Avenue at Valley Drive as a third location (when it is not otherwise occupied) for use only once a year, for a two-week period, for $2,500.
Mayor Pro Tempore Keegan commented on the number of illegal business banners around town, installed without permits, and the blight they created. He suggested issuing $250 tickets to violators. City Manager said he would bring the issue back as an agenda item at a future meeting. Councilmember Yoon requested that staff expedite installation of the grand opening banner if Ralph's Food Fare wants to place it at a different location.
