The purpose of this section is to provide for the regulation

streets and roads within the Village of Wild Rose and to compel the
owners or occupants to maintain numbers assigned and provided by the
Village of Wild Rose.
A. All owners or occupants of buildings within the Village of Wild Rose

number signs approved by the Wild Rose Board of Trustees shall be
used as the official address number of the property.
B. The Village of Wild Rose shall provide, at no initial cost to the
property owner, a sign and affix it to the property in an area of
the property designated by the Board to best facilitate the identification
of the property. All signs shall be placed perpendicular to the roadway
so as to be easily visible. Any sign that is damaged or stolen through
no fault of the property owner shall be replaced by the Village. Property
owners with damaged or stolen signs shall notify the Village Clerk
no later than then next business day after noticing such damage.
C. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to properly
maintain the sign and keep it free from damage, obstruction and other
conditions that may prevent the property from being easily identified
from the street.

and maintaining all signs to designated streets within the Village

the Village Clerk/Treasurer, in writing, and explain in detail the

request to the Chief of Police and Head of Village Maintenance, who
shall then make a recommendation, in writing, to the Village Board.
All decisions of the Board shall be final.
