Get to know local artists and discover more about Monterey’s heritage.
Since its opening in 1977, the Conference Center has displayed an
array of permanent and rotating exhibits. From paintings and tapestries to

show their work.

Posting Signs, Legal or
Not?
“Garage Sale this Saturday” – “House for Sale by Owner” – “Elect
Joe Brown for Dogcatcher.”
We see these signs every day, posted on
telephone poles, erected in front yards and placed in various public
places. But are these signs legal?
The City’s sign ordinance prohibits
posting signs on any tree, shrub or utility pole located on public
property or placing signs so that they encroach upon a public street or
sidewalk.
Unlike other signs, political signs are allowed on most
public lands, unless they create a dangerous condition (such as signs
placed in the roadway median) or interfere with upkeep of the property. A
new City ordinance also prohibits political signs around the City Hall
complex and grounds and Colton Hall.
For more info, call our Community
Development Department at 646.3885 or stop by the office at Colton Hall,
corner of Pacific and Madison streets.
