“And maybe you should look at policies for live displays and free standing displays,” said York County Attorney Candace Dick. “Yes, other counties and entities have such policies on times, size, sound, etc. York County does not have those kinds of policies.”

“And with this request, the one before us right now, there is no end date,” said Commissioner Randy Obermier. “Yes, the Farmers Market days will run to a certain date in the fall, but they didn’t include an end date for the Monday mornings. Maybe we should establish that there be an end date, ending times, etc.”

Dick said she has already started working on potential policies that the commissioners could consider.

“It sounds like we are heading in the right way, but for now, we need to consider this request,” Obermier said. “We have told others yes, so it’s hard to say no to this one.”

“I think we need to take action on this request right now and then look at creating policy later,” Bamesberger said.

“Regardless of the message of displays, you would be looking at the policy alone,” Dick told the board.
