NEW BUSINESS 8.1 Declaring Illegal On-Premises Advertising Display (Sign) as a Public Nuisance Council has directed Staff to begin nuisance abatement procedures for an illegal sign.

Also the existing JPA is silent on payment to the CMA Boardmembers at committee meetings. This amendment would cure both problems.
