CORRECTION NOTICE AND REPORT

6/29/06 Code Section PWC184.57b

We've received a complaint regarding a sign attached to a tree in front of this address. When I arrived I found a wood sign and red sweater garlands strung through a city maintained tree. This signage and garland is illegal. You cannot attach anything to city property that doesn't meet code requirements.

Please remove within 7 days.

...

The sweaters are coming down today.
I'll put them up somewhere else, once I find a home. If you have space or a vacant non-city tree, please send me an email.

I did call the city before I put the sweaters up, and the person I talked to could not find anything that said I couldn't do it. I really thought it was legal, but I suppose I didn't ask the right person. My mistake that I didn't get permission in writing.
