In Tehachapi, California, the community development director, David James, recently sought to change the way businesses display signs.

The Tehachapi News reports that the commissioner introduced legislation that would amend the way signs around the city are displayed. In the city council meeting on July 19th, James said that the code needed to be more uniform and updated in order to better serve the community.

The news source reports that although the council declined to enact any of the commissioner's suggestions, many feel that something needs to be done.

"Changes to the code make signs easier for business," said Tehachapi city manager Greg Garrett.

For his part, James wasn't discouraged. "If they get out of control we can revisit it. There's a public safety aspect," he said in an interview with the news source.

In Dunwoody, Georgia, the city council has been busy with sign discussions of its own. The Dunwoody Crier reports that members of the city council met recently in order to discuss additions to the sign ordinance. The new regulations were mainly concerned with placement.
