Rules NOT for Incumbents

The Chief of Police recently briefed council on the Political Sign ordinance. The Mayor even asked the Chief to elaborate on the new language about Signs Not Allowed in  back yards.  The Chief explained that signs were allowed on the city right of way private property in the front yard and the side yards, but NOT the back yard. 

  Seems the current Incumbents are above the law.  Does the fine print of the Ordinance exempt the Incumbents and previous council persons?  

 Take a drive down Windrock dr, there are at least three sets of Political signs located in the BACK YARD at multiple locations and that's only one street.  

Maybe incumbents have their own definition of  what constitutes a back yard, side yards and a front yard.

Where is Code Compliance?
