Ordinance <br /> Background <br /> Orono code matched state law and allows, in years when there is a state general election, <br /> display of election signs from August 1 to 10 days following the general election. When the <br /> legislature changed the date of the state primary to August they also changed the dates that <br /> election signs can be displayed to be 46 days before the state primary. The state law <br /> overrides local ordinances but to avoid confusion it is best to amend the City Code to reflect <br /> the state statutes. The attached ordinance makes that change. <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Approval. <br />
