When non-conforming signs are identified, a bright colored sticker will be placed on the face of the sign in plain view of the public. The notification sticker will clearly state that the sign is not in compliance with the regulations and an appropriate phone number will be provided for additional information. The sticker will also identify the person placing the sticker and the date the sticker was affixed to the sign. The person placing the sticker will record the language on the sign, the location of the non-conforming sign, and the date the notification was affixed. A copy of these records will be forwarded from time to time to the Right-of-Way Use Permitting Section of the Public Works Department for permanent record. The language for the notification sticker shall be in substantially the following form:
