At the Jan. 27 meeting, Council held a public hearing and approved an amendment to the sign regulations of the zoning ordinance for the Marketplace at Highland Village. The amendment allows First Choice Emergency Room to incorporate their national standard logo of a red cross which is five feet three inches in height.
The sign regulations required walls signs to be three feet in height or less. The 7,205-square-foot building, which will be constructed on pad site west of Applebee’s, was approved at the Jan. 13 meeting.
Council received a presentation on Accountable Policing from Police Chief Doug Reim. The presentation included an in depth look at the hiring and training service philosophy behind the city’s community policing model and the programs and service provided to residents. Commander Schlichter presented the city’s racial profiling report confirming the Police Department’s compliance with state law governing racial profiling. The law requires each law enforcement agency in the state to adopt a written policy on racial profiling and prohibit its practice, as well as submit a report containing the information compiled during the previous calendar year.
