Neenah won’t enforce yard sign ordinance during lawsuit

NEENAH, WI — The city of Neenah will not enforce its yard sign ordinance until a federal court issues a ruling in a pending lawsuit. During a telephone conference Thursday morning, Neenah attorney Kyle Moore informed the court that city officials have been advised to stop enforcement and not take any action against property owners with signs. The suit was filed by two homeowners that were issued notices of violation for signs opposing the rezoning of Shattuck Middle School for future redevelopment. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed the suit on behalf of the homeowners earlier this week. The city had given those with signs until February 8th to take them down, or start receiving daily fines. The two sides will now file written arguments for the judge to consider next month.
