increases, but increases were not included in the MCS FY09 budget. Based on the
present MCS usage of the HIRC and the new fees, the new principal is facing a
budget shortfall in the school’s budgeted funding for HIRC rentals (which

rents rooms in the HIRC from noon until 3:00pm Mon-Wed-Fri. The fee waiver request
was declined by the Parks and Recreation Director and is not supported by the

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in;text-align:justify'><font size=2
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>The City Council recently
received several requests to amend the Sign Code to allow portable signage
within commercial districts outside of the Central Business District. It is
fairly common for cities to allow sidewalk signage within their downtown
area. Sidewalk signage is generally of a more pedestrian scale and within
downtown areas there are generally wider sidewalks and greater pedestrian
traffic. Additionally, within downtown areas the buildings are commonly
constructed up to the property lines and therefore their ability to have other
signage (such as free standing, projecting or monument signs) is limited.
There are other activities commonly occurring on the sidewalks and outdoors
such as sidewalk cafes and display of merchandise, so the signs tend to be
consistent with the feel of downtowns. In contrast, within the Motor Business
Districts, signage tends to be larger and of an automobile scale, rather than
pedestrian scale. There sidewalks tend to be narrower and buildings are
generally set back from the street which allows for more permanent signage to
be installed in front of the businesses (free standing, monument or
projecting). Motor business districts sometimes have more signage and
clutter, greater volume and higher speed traffic, and greater opportunities for
motorist distractions. It is not uncommon for portable signage to be
prohibited within Motor Business districts; however some cities do allow
it. For example, <st1:City w:st="on">Pullman</st1:City> and <st1:City
w:st="on">Coeur d’Alene</st1:City> allow it within many of their
commercial districts, while <st1:City w:st="on">Lewiston</st1:City> and <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Boise</st1:City></st1:place> do not (except for
downtown). Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on October 27, 2008.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

interest in the City's practices regarding use of City Council Chambers and
other City facilities which are not currently addressed by a City policy. For
example, the City has traditionally allowed incumbent elected officials to hold
"town hall" meetings in Council Chambers without charge. Issues of
fairness, propriety, "politicizing" of City facilities, expenditures,
access to government, and other issues suggest that a written policy might be
developed. The issue was discussed at the September 22<sup>nd</sup>
Administrative Committee meeting and the Committee directed staff to develop a
policy for Council consideration.</span></font><font size=2><span
