Sign Committee
- Point of Contact: Not Jamie.
- Someone should take on the task of understanding the Code and contacting the city, just to touch base.
- That someone should be able to entertain the numerous ideas and figure out which ones are legal and practical.
- That someone should, possibly before the above steps, consider bringing the subject up at a meeting and getting committee status for it, which would make the single-effort thing official, among other benefits like easier budgeting.
- All the rest of us should kindly refrain from bikeshedding unless someone actually doing something asks for our input.
