The application's description as it appears in City of Star's record. See the official record

The City of Star is considering two new city ordinances proposed by Councilmember Nielsen. One would ban unauthorized signs and most vehicle or trailer advertising signs, with fines of up to $100 per sign per day. The other would require annual registration of rental homes and add a license and land-use rules for large single-family rental communities of 10 or more commonly owned rental homes.
