DATE: MARCH 16, 1999 AGENDA ITEM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ADOLPH A. SOLIS, CITY CLERK
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER
RE: POLICY FOR MARQUEE DISPLAYS
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Policy for Marquee Displays as presented.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City Hall marquee has been a topic of discussion from time to time: specifically, on what takes
precedence on the marquee and how it can be maintained in an orderly fashion. With input from the
Public Works Department, the following information and schedule has been combined to formulate a
policy.
The City Hall marquee has four lines available, each with twenty spaces for letters. To change or
add letters and/or announcements, the entire line, or lines, needed must be removed and changed. In
order to maintain an orderly workaday schedule, Public Works has assigned an employee to change
the marquee once weekly, on Tuesdays. The following is the order of message precedence:
1. Date and time of next City Council meeting.
2. Emergency announcements.
3. City events.
4. Death of individual who served on Council, Board or Commission, death of local veteran(s).
5. Death of widely known local individual.
Requests by Mayor, or Council majority would preempt any set order of message content or
precedence and installation schedule. Each announcement, where possible, shall be installed one
week before event, and removed on the following week. Because of limited space, need for brevity
of messages is imperative. All requests for immediate installation of messages on other than the
designed installation day will not be honored. EXCEPTIONS: (1) True emergencies, (2) Request
by Mayor and/or Council Majority.
