Signs found within the city which are unlawfully posted upon utility poles, regulatory signs or posts, or are placed on sidewalks, in the right of way, or any other area not allowed by the sign code may be seized by the city and kept as evidence of unlawful activity in preparation for prosecution. If no prosecutorial action is taken, the city will make the signs available for return to the presumptive owner. (Ord. 740, 12-6-2005)
