City Attorney Corky Reynolds addressed the Crookston City Council this week in response to what he said have been several complaints made to local law enforcement and city hall about the displaying of various “signs, flags and banners” on properties in town.
Although Reynolds’ presentation and the ensuing discussion didn’t get more specific than referring to election and/or political campaign signs, the presumption is that some signs still lingering from the 2020 presidential election in which Joe Biden prevailed over Donald Trump are spurring the complaints.
In a nutshell, Reynolds said, there’s not much that can be done, at least when it comes to forcing the signs’ removal because the complainant has deemed them inappropriate or offensive.

With the snow from earlier in the winter long-gone and this week’s snow sure to be a memory soon, added to the fact that the City of Crookston’s Spring Clean-Up Week is fast approaching, it’s the time of the year when property owners feeling especially motivated by warmer temperatures and the grass getting greener give their properties a good once-over.
But not all property owners are overcome with the spirit of spring and the motivation to spruce up their yards, which is where City ordinances involving junk, debris and other items in yards come into play.
