Temporary cloth signs, banners, streamers, etc., may be suspended over public property by special permission of Council. Provided, however, that the Mayor or President Pro Tern of the Council of the Village of Lordstown shall be authorized to grant special permission for the use of temporary signs and to waive all requirements for a surety bond or liability insurance policy for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. The purpose of such temporary signs shall be for civic or community affairs of public or semipublic nature and not for private gain. A surety bond in an amount as may be determined by Council and conditioned on the faithful observance of the provisions of this chapter, and which shall indemnify and save harmless the Municipality from any and all judgments, costs or expenses which the Municipality may incur or suffer by permitting the erection of any temporary sign as hereinbefore mentioned, may be required by Council from the person desiring to erect or suspend such temporary sign. Alternatively, Council may require the liability insurance policy, issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the State, in lieu of such bond.
