The county's sign ordinance, specifically the part about electronic signs, will be discussed at an upcoming workshop Tuesday, Oct. 2. A workshop to discuss animal control in the county will be held Thursday, Oct. 4.
County to face issues
Pike County commissioners will address two hot issues at upcoming workshops. Commissioners will hear public input on animal control and the current sign ordinance at the two separate workshops.
A public workshop Saturday, Oct. 6 at 8:30 a.m. will address issues regarding animal control. It will be held in the courthouse annex meeting room. Animal control issues were raised before the commissioners when a special exception request was unanimously denied for Companion Animal Rescue and Education at the Aug. 28 meeting.
CARE is working to adopt out all of the up to 50 dogs and puppies that have been rescued in Pike by Lisa Ramos and volunteer helpers. Don Bailey, chairman of the Friends of Pike County Animals Humane Society recently addressed the commission and requested it hold the workshop on the issue.
Another workshop will address recent issues raised about the sign code, specifically regarding electronic signs. It is set for Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. in the courthouse annex meeting room. Two electronic signs in Pike County, one at Patriot Motors on Highway 19 and the other at Mount Olive Baptist Church on Highway 109, have been shut down for months when the signs were unable to meet county code requirements. Together, the two signs cost the church and business almost $20,000.
Because they are not in compliance they can no longer be used. According to planning and development director David Allen, Pike’s electronic sign code requires signs with electronic text to have letters no more than six inches high and can only change message or scroll once every 15 minutes. Neither of the electronic signs have the capability to meet county code, even with new software downloaded.
Commissioners will discuss possible modifications to this code at the Oct. 2 workshop.

With all the problems that Pike has....who is running around with a stopwatch and WHY?
Sheila to Commissioner...come in please.
Building/Zoning and Permits you FLUBBED. Now turn the signs back on.
IN SIGNS WE TRUST
JUST SAY NO TO A STOP WATCH
Did they jump off the pole and rape someone? Did they exploit children? Did they steal copper from the church air conditioner? Did they bully the smaller signs? Were they singing and dancing to.."signs, signs, everywhere signs?
WHY ARE THE SIGNS A PROBLEM????
Oh no. Now someone says "Hey the church has one too." Shut em down. Now everyone has a finger in the signs. Have to go along with GOD on this one, don't think I would shut his sign down.
Believe me God is way above a used car salesman. (But most POS that I have met in life are above used car salesmen.)
