1. A bank in Port Orford put up a casino style electric sign with
advertising (for out of town) , glitzy, moving etc.  - very much out of
character with our small fishing and art community.  It technically
meets the sign ordinance including our Dark Sky ordinance.  We are
working with the CEO to at least have the intensity turned down and
turned off at night.  Has anyone encountered this problem - what to do?
Please respond to Karen Auborn at: kauborn at me.com
