The Milton City Council gave unanimous approval Monday to a proposal that would prohibit moving signs.

The text amendment, which must still pass a final vote of the council Aug. 20, would ban moving signs that are held by people or animals, except during demonstrations, assemblies and public gatherings.

The city's ordinance already prohibits sandwich boards and signs applied directly to a sidewalk or curb, balloons,

streamers or gas-filled figures and other similar temporary signs.
