Wally Capuni, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, asked the Rheonale City Council to place a proposal for a potential billboard site on a future agenda.

Capuni told the council the parcel is “on the south side of the freeway across from the industrial park” and said he had spoken informally with Caltrans but believes the land is city property. “Without the city approval, I would...not approach any funding until we got approval from the city,” he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carter and Councilmember O'Rourke agreed to place the question on an upcoming agenda so the chamber can present potential locations, funding sources and the city can review zoning, permitting and other requirements. Councilmember O'Rourke said the council will “look at what would be involved in zoning and permitting and things like that.”

The request came during the meeting’s public presentations period; there was no formal vote recorded on the item. The council directed staff to schedule a future agenda item where Capuni and chamber representatives can present specifics and discuss next steps.

The council gave no timelines for the future agenda item, and no formal permits or approvals were granted at the meeting.
