    Councilmembers Ed P. Reyes and Paul Krekorian held a special joint meeting Oct. 12, to continue charting a course for the future of murals in the city of Los Angeles. Krekorian, chair of the Arts, Parks & Neighborhoods Committee, and Reyes, chair of the Planning & Land Use Management Committee, held their joint session to hear this presentation and discuss amending the City's sign code to permit murals on private property. At issue is a May 2002 ordinance approved by the City Council that amended regulations governing prohibited signs to include Supergraphic Signs, Inflatable Devices and Murals Signs. The City Council is crafting an ordinance, consistent with the First Amendment, that permits fine art murals on private property, and thus restores Los Angeles as the "mural capital of the world." During Wednesday's meeting, the City's Cultural Affairs and Planning departments delivered this presentation on possible avenues for mural permitting. Their presentation is the result of ongoing meetings with muralists, art organizations and other stakeholders.
