City sees signs of the times - al.com: "FOLEY — In order to boost a sagging retail economy, city officials have suspended restrictions on temporary signs.

The City Council voted unanimously Monday night, with Councilman Wayne Trawick absent, to pass an ordinance that relaxes restrictions on advertising flags, banners and other temporary signs by Foley businesses. Mayor John Koniar said the move will be in effect until the economy improves.

'We don't have any time limit on it,' Koniar said. 'The effort here is to help some of these businesses that are struggling to get more people into their establishments and helping them out here. We are happy we could do this; we just hope it does some good for you guys.'"
