Event signage He noted the purposes of the changes are to limit the number and location of directional signs placed in public right-of-way notifying the public on the location of events. The amendments were brought forth to address the large numbers of signs placed on a given weekend. The proposal is to allow 2 large signs at the entrance of the event,and a total of 6 smaller signs within a 5 mile radius of the event. No logos will be permitted on the signs. Committee discussion occurred noting the proposal may be too restrictive and hinder the organizers fundraising ability as this may be a primary means for advertising the event.

Following discussions,the Committee determined the amendments as proposed are acceptable. Bonding in Public Right-of-Way 2 May 7,2014 Mr. Casalanguida reported the BCC requested Staff to address various aspects of permitting for improvements in the right-of-way including taking any actions necessary to address liability concerns. Staff reported the County already has a"Right-of- Way Handbook"and the authority to require performance bonds by outside parties to ensure any work is completed in accordance with County requirements. The proposal includes a"cosmetic"change to identify the Growth Management Division as the Administrator and the updating of the"bonding forms." Speakers J.Dudley Goodlette,Attorney for TECO Peoples Gas,reported the company has a positive working relationship with the County and does not have a concern with the proposed changes. Lance Horton,TECO Peoples Gas reported, upon review of the proposed changes,the company is in support of them. A.
