Anything elsewhere in this Code to the contrary set forth notwithstanding, ballfield signs, as hereinafter defined, shall be permitted to be displayed on the fences of the Roe Street Samuel Baen Field, subject, however, to the restrictions hereinafter set forth:
A. 
For the purposes of this subsection, the term "ballfield signs" shall be defined as signs hung on the fence of the Roe Street Samuel Baen Field, the revenues, as defined below, from which are to go to a nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization can include any and all sports teams operating as part of the Borough's recreation programs.
(1) 
For the purposes of this subsection, the term "revenues" shall be defined as donations made by a sign sponsor to the nonprofit organization.
B. 
Any such sign shall only be hung on the fence surrounding the ballfield at Roe Street Samuel Baen Field and shall face the infield.
C. 
No such sign shall have dimensions greater than two feet high and four feet wide, nor extend above the top of the fence to which it is attached. No sign shall display any political message or endorsement of or by any political party, candidate, office holder or other such official.
