Some residents were unclear Wednesday whether the money collected from advertisers will go to the municipality or the Youth Sports Association.http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-south/advertisements-coming-to-school-municipal-fields-in-mt-lebanon-635300/?p=0
"How the money will be handled has not been set yet," Mr. Brumfield said in an email Wednesday.
Update May 13, 2012 6:47 p.m. The Zoning Ordinance is online here. The amended ordinance (823.5.3.10) recently passed is here. Please note that 823.5.3.9 is missing. Dave Brumfield avoided answering emails which questioned who would get the revenue from the signs. Below is part of one such email.
Dave,
For starters, it's not clear to me who would get the money from the
signs. I think this needs to be clarified. The line between the
municipality and the school district often seems blurred.
Yet, when we question that, we get, "Why do you feel we shouldn't explore alternative revenue sources?" Dave, it is not that we are against alternative revenue sources. We simply want a definitive answer. Who gets the revenue? The municipality or the sports groups?
Update May 14, 2012 11:07 a.m. The missing ordinance 823.5.3.9 can be found here.

Reminds some of us that the thoughtless way this was handled is a perfect example of and akin to the old sayings "CART BEFORE THE HORSE", "READY, FIRE, AIM" and "DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH THE FACTS, MY MINDS MADE UP".
And another example of gummit wurk.

Would anyone hire Brumfield to write a legal contract with the poor stewardship he is exhibiting as commission president?
Dave, is showing off for your buddies really more important than taking good care of Commission business?

The "missing" section 823.5.3.9 is definitely missing on the website edition of the Zoning Ordinance because that version is not up to date. It does in fact exist, however, is 3 or 4 pages long and is included in the Charter & Code binder at the Solicitors seated position in the Commission Chambers. Can't always rely on website content, I guess.
