[Adopted by the Board of Selectmen]
The Board of Selectmen finds that:
A. 
The Town of Conway has a substantial interest in protecting the aesthetic appearance of the community by avoiding visual clutter and in assuring safe and convenient traffic and pedestrian circulation on Town streets.
B. 
Veterans memorials are places of honor that should be kept free of visual clutter and materials not directly related to the purpose of recognizing the sacrifices and contributions of veterans.
No sign, card, banner, handbill, poster, advertisement or notice of any kind shall be installed, placed or deposited within the boundaries of Town properties, including specifically Town parks and veteran's memorials; provided, however, that this section shall not apply to signs and/or street decorations authorized in accordance with the provisions of the Board of Selectmen's policy on seasonal decorations or special events. (See Chapter 125, Article V, of the Conway Town Code.)
Any sign that is placed contrary to this policy or contrary to state laws prohibiting signs in state rights-of-way may be summarily removed by the Town and placed in storage; provided, however, that any sign determined to have a replacement value of less than $50 may be immediately disposed of by Town personnel. Upon removal, the owner, if ascertainable, of any sign determined to have a replacement value of $50 or more shall be promptly notified verbally or in writing. Upon failure of the owner to claim such sign and pay the expenses of removal and storage within 30 days after removal, the sign may be disposed of without any further notice to such owner. The Town of Conway will not be responsible for the condition of signs removed under this policy.
