Public Notice
The city council of the city of Medina has adopted Ordinance No. 438, an amendment to the
city's sign ordinance. The amendment regulates dynamic display signs, which are defined as ones
which permit a change of copy or other movement electronically and include rotating, revolving,
flashing, blinking or animated display signs. Such signs must be designed so that the message
changes no more frequently than once every five minutes. The amendment regulates the brightness
and size of print to ensure that the signs are not a distraction to drivers. The amendment also
prohibits off -premise signs, allows additional sign area on certain buildings which front multiple
streets and allows the substitution of non-commercial for commercial messages to prevent any
inadvertent favoring of commercial over non-commercial speech. The full text of Ordinance
No. 438 is available from the city administrator -clerk at Medina city hall during regular business
hours.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina that the city
administrator -clerk keep a copy of the ordinance in his office at city hall for public inspection and
that he post a full copy of the ordinance in a public place within the city.
