Mayor Adelstein stated that the Board would finalize this issue at the next meeting. Ms. Timmons stated that would be fine with Clear Channel. This amendment will require the open houses to be manned. Director Skiles recused herself from this discussion since is she is a real estate agent. Director LaMastus stated that he sometimes enjoys attending open houses just to see what is new and would just as soon not have an agent on duty.
Some agents float between open houses on the same street.
Mr. Patterson stated that the current ordinance does not address open house signs except for the allowing of four directional signs. Staff has always interpreted the ordinance as requiring an agent to be on duty at open houses. Mr. Patterson stated that in the future the City could see a safety problem with the public being directed to houses that are open but no agent on duty. He also stated that these directional signs are being left out 24 hours a day seven days a week. Mayor Adelstein asked who monitors this.
