RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is requesting Council Direction Relating to Display
of Banners for Outside Organizations.
ISSUE
The idea of advertising community -wide special events was most recently discussed on January 9`h by
the Council during a work session. The discussion moved from purchasing banners, to buying flags, to
using an electric sign for advertising City events. This memo will attempt to combine all three topics
which deal with public communication of community events.
DISCUSSION
Background
The topic of banners for non -city event advertising was discussed by the City Council in 2006 and
again in 2010. In 2006, Alan Cox, Communications Coordinator, emailed Mr. Steve Olsen about the
opportunity. The email conveyed the potential cost and also indicated that the City would be willing to
install them at no charge but that the organization, in this case the High School Band, would pay for
the banners. Mr. Olsen responded that he would contact the same vendor that the city used, but did
not follow up with City staff after that.
In 2010 banners were also discussed. It was at this time that the Council discussed a larger banner
across 145th Street, which did not receive support. The Council decided that outside organizations
could purchase banners to be placed on the existing poles. The meeting minutes state: "Discussion
continued about using existing banners poles and switching out with different banners purchased by
organizations." There is no record of whether specific organizations were directly contacted about this
opportunity that I could find.
Advertising Mechanism
During the last discussion with the City Council there was more conversation about the objective of
the various display options. In the past there has been interest in displaying banners that advertise a
specific event such as the Band competition or the Haunted Trail. More recently there was
conversation that changing the Downtown display, whether by banner or flag, would show some type
of event is happening. During that discussion it was more about creating a festive atmosphere and not
necessarily advertising a specific event. From there discussion moved to having a community reader
board sign, most likely at the Community Center, which would advertise specific community events
that could be publically or privately sponsored. It has been a bit difficult to determine the best, most
effective approach, when the goal of the Downtown displays isn't clear to staff. That being said, there
are several options presented in this memo, which can be implemented simultaneously which may
achieve several of the objectives previously mentioned.
Banners
At the present time, banners are approximately $48 a piece. This price is somewhat variable depending
upon design and ultimate set up cost for design. There are 69 poles on 145`h Street between
Chippendale Avenue and Brazil Avenue and 61 poles on Hwy 3 between County Road 42 and 143`d
Street. In the core Downtown, there are 29 poles on 145`h Street between Cameo Avenue and Brazil
Avenue. Therefore if banners were placed on every available pole (130) it would cost approximately
$6240. Additionally, there would be costs for designing the banner which is variable but estimated to
be $300 -500.
There is staff time associated with installation of the banners. It takes three public works employees
and a rental lift to change out the banners. At approximately 10 banners an hour, 70 -80 banners can
be replaced in a day. One day of banner work would equate to approximately $1090: two hundred
fifty dollars for the rental lift and the remaining amount for the three public works employees (salary
plus benefits).
Previously there has been discussion about putting a banner across 145`'' and that option was
discarded in January. The option of the City making some additional banners for other events or
another type (celebrating a season or Leprechaun Days) such as the winter banners is still on the
table. Given previously mentioned concerns about freedom of speech, public forum and public
purpose, the most conservative approach to banner display is to have the City in charge of the
banners' creation, display, and maintenance.
Flags
There has also been some discussion about use of flags rather than banners. Flag costs vary widely
depending upon the material used and whether it is printed on one or two sides. There is also a
question about upkeep, as the City flag has not lasted as long as desired given the cost.
The estimated cost for flags is dependent upon what the Council would use the flags for. If it is to
advertise an event; design and printing cost could be as much as $5000- 15,000 (30 flags). If the
Council wanted to add flags to the Downtown to make the space more festive, perhaps during a
community celebration; single colored flags are $500 -800 (30 flags) or stock seasonal flags pre -
designed $1200 -1500. New poles and hardware is approximated at $800 and labor cost for installation
$200.
If the Council wants to just freshen up the Downtown with flags, staff would recommend buying
single colored flags (ie. orange and yellow for fall/pink and light blue for spring) which are cost
effective and would achieve the goal of changing the tenor of the Downtown. Or single colored flags
could be displayed when certain community events are occurring. There is also the option of buying
pre - designed vendor flags which add color or can be seasonal. These are cost effective and do allow
variation in the Downtown. Staff is less comfortable using the flags as an advertising device for
community events as the cost is high to print a logo or written message and most likely the flag, given
the positioning, would be difficult to read.
City Sign
The Council has also discussed provision of a city sign that could announce community events. The
most likely candidate location is at the Community Center. Staff has obtained a drawing and cost
estimate for replacing the reader board portion of the community center sign. It is approximately
$12,000. Staff has created a mock -up of the sign which is attached. The sign work has not commenced
for two reasons. First, staff is waiting on the National Guard to see if they will be contributing '/2 of
the cost, which is what occurred for the current sign. The other thought is perhaps the entire sign
should be replaced, which would cost significantly more than the reader board modification.
The reader board sign is part of this discussion because it provides another opportunity to
communicate with residents about community events. Use of a reader board allows greater flexibility
than either a flag or banner can permit. However, advertising on any city sign prompts the same issues
raised during the banner discussion about public forum and public speech. The Council will need to
determine what is considered public information and provide a policy so there are not arbitrary
determinations by staff. Attached is the policy that was previously adopted, relating to the existing
community center sign.
At this time staff is interested in getting direction from the Council as to whether staff should move
forward on modifying the existing sign, with a new reader board, or replacing the sign. If the Council
chooses the later, additional funds would need to be set aside. Staff would begin to work with a sign
company and would bring back the design for approval before execution.
CONCLUSION
There have been several options discussed about advertising community events and adding to the
festive atmosphere of the Downtown and community. There are two specific options, creating
additional banners or purchasing additional flags. The banners allow for specific advertising, wear
longer, and may be more cost effective over the long run although are more expensive to purchase
and install. The flags have the greatest variation in cost. If the Council wants to add color to the
Downtown simple flags can be obtained for less cost and installed relatively easily. If flags are desired
for advertising the costs are much greater and it is unclear if the advertising would be legible.
Regardless of additional Downtown enhancements, staff is interested in moving forward with the
Community Center sign renovation. The question is whether to modify the existing sign, by adding a
reader board and removing the old message center, or replacing the entire sign. The former concept is
probably in the $15,000 range where a new sign will be significantly more. Staff does not have a good
concept on pricing at this time and would move to get better estimates if the Council desires a new
sign.

WORK SESSION PROCEEDINGS
JANUARY 9, 2013
from USTA and other organizations on the number of tournaments that could be scheduled. Ms.
Kramer suggested moving the tennis courts to the ORC. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan explained
the issues with planning for tournaments if the courts are not located next to each other.
The City Council wanted to ensure that uses of funds are being prioritized correctly. They want
more information on the number of users, tournaments and field needs. Mr. Manning and Ms.
Kramer asked to be included on the future planning.
2.B. Banners for Outside Organizations
Community Development Director Lindquist provided history on the item. She stated that staff is
proposing purchase banner for particular events such as Leprechaun Days, Haunted Trail, Yellow
Ribbon, and RAAC to start off the banner changes. She explained the issues with entities
purchasing banners and that the City Attorney suggested that the City pay for the banners. Mayor
Droste was concerned with the amount of labor spent on the banners and preferred to use one large
banner instead. Discussion was also held about using different types of feather banners for smaller
events, placement of banners along County Road 42, installation of an information sign into the
location points of the City. Discussion was also held about item being displayed on the Community
Center reader board. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan stated that she wanted the banners to
decorate the Downtown and showcase the events. An idea was also to utilize the current flag
holders on the light poles. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan preferred to use the banners. Staff will
provide additional banner and labor estimates for the ideas to discuss at the goal setting meetings.
2.C. Wetland Management Plan Update
Andi Moffit of WSB & Associates was in attendance for the discussion. Senior Planner Zweber
provided a summary of the staff report. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan talked about protecting the
wetland preserves. She noted that Rosemount was one of the first cities to have a wetland
management plan. Mayor Droste suggested using more rain gardens within the city. Director of
Public Works /City Engineer provided history on the alternative stormwater techniques discussed
over the years. Discussion was held about incorporating other techniques into projects. Council
Member Weisensel talked more about the wetland buffering. Staff will bring the updates to the City
Council for consideration at a meeting in February.
2.13. Robert Street Transltway Update
Senior Planner Zweber provided a summary of the staff report Mr. Zweber specifically explained
the density issues within Rosemount. He also shared in detail the alternatives that have been studied
for the corridor. The City Council discussed the transitway in relation to other corridors. Council
Member Weisensel shared his concerns about the stops at site number 32. Mr. Zweber explained
the reasons for the current design based upon the employment in that area. He also explained that
the ridership may change based upon the AUAR at UMore. Council Member Demuth questioned
the use of existing rail. Mr. Zweber talked about the density around that area not meeting the
criteria.
2.E. 2013 Equipment Purchases
Director of Public Works /City Engineer Brotzler summarized the information provided in the staff
report. Mayor Droste suggested using other entities wash bays. Mr. Brotzler stated staff is washing
the trucks after every plow event. Currently staff washes the trucks after each event but noted the
constraints with the current space and equipment.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is requesting Council Direction Relating to Display
of Banners for Outside Organizations.
ISSUE
In October, Councilmember Shoe - Corrigan raised the issue about outside organizations purchasing
banners and having them installed in the community advertising special events. The specific event that
had been mentioned is the band competition held each fall in Rosemount but there are certainly other
events which would be of interest to the public. There are also several organizations that have a
relationship with the City in delivery of an event with community wide benefit that may also want to
have an advertising banner.
DISCUSSION
Background
The topic of banners for non -city event advertising was discussed by the City Council in 2006 and
again in 2010. In 2006, Alan Cox, Communications Coordinator, emailed lair. Steve Olsen about the
opportunity. The email conveyed the potential cost and also indicated that the City would be willing to
install them at no charge but that the organization, in this case the High School Band, would pay for
the banners. Mr. Olsen responded that he would contact the same vendor that the city used, but did
not follow up with City staff after that.
In 2010 banners were also discussed. It was at this time that the Council discussed a larger banner
across 145`'' Street, which did not receive support. The Council decided that outside organizations
could purchase banners to be placed on the existing poles. The meeting minutes state: "Discussion
continued about using existing banners poles and switching out with different banners purchased by
organizations." There is no record of whether specific organizations were directly contacted about this
opportunity that I could find.
Cost
At the present time, banners are approximately $48 a piece. This price is somewhat variable since the
set up cost for printing the design is a fixed cost, regardless of the number of banners ordered. There
are 69 poles on 145`' Street between Chippendale Avenue and Brazil Avenue and 61 poles on Hwy 3
between County Road 42 and 143`d Street. In the core Downtown, there are 29 poles on 145 `'' Street
between Cameo Avenue and Brazil Avenue. 'Therefore if an organization would want to place a
banner on every available pole (130) it would cost approximately $6240. Additionally, there would be
costs for designing the banner which is variable but estimated to be $300 -500.
There is staff time associated with installation of the banners. It takes three public works employees
and a rental lift to change out the banners. At approximately 10 banners an hour, 70 -80 banners can
be replaced in a day. One day of banner work would equate to approximately $1090: two hundred
fifty dollars for the rental lift and the remaining amount for the three public works employees (salary
plus benefits).
Banner Options
There continues to be some interest in exploring community banners. Staff internally has discussed
the idea of the City underwriting all or a portion of the banners for specific events where the
organization has a relationship with the City in delivery of a community wide event. This would
include the Leprechaun Days group, the Haunted Woods group, RACC, and the Beyond the Yellow
Ribbon organization. Staff is suggesting that the banners be placed in the vicinity of the event. For
example, the Haunted Woods Trail could be advertised by banners in the vicinity of City Hall.
Advertising for Leprechaun Days would be on every other pole in the City as that is a large
community event. A RACC event might have several banners positioned near the Steeple Center.
Should the Council choose this option, there are several details that need to be worked out. A design
for any non - Rosemount banners must be developed and approved. Prior to ordering, the number of
banners and their anticipated location needs to be decided. Staff estimates the cost of design and
production of banners for 4 events could be approximately $13,000, which does not include banner
design and the staff time to install and remove the special event banners. Depending upon the length
of display of banners, it is anticipated that the special event banners could last 5 to 6 years.
Another option is to look into placing a banner across 145' Street as mentioned in 2010. In the 2010
memo to the Council it was indicated that the cost for design, materials and installation of the poles
and wires for banner installation would be approximately $7,000. Each banner (approximately 3' x 40')
was estimated at $1,420 and would be made of vinyl instead of the fabric used in the City banners.
Design of the banners would be in addition to the above cost. The vendor indicated there is no
warranty for a vinyl banner and the expectation is that they would be used for only a few weeks. Most
likely these banners would need to be replaced yearly or every other year. The estimated cost for one
year of display would be approximately $6,000 not including design costs. Since it is assumed that the
banners can only be used for one year this is an annual cost.
Staff had a lengthy conversation with the City Attorney about the posting of banners and issues
associated with free speech, public forum, and public purpose. In a nutshell, the Attorney indicated
that the more the banners are the City's by designing and paying for them, the less issue there is about
other organizations wanting similar access; the free speech issue. If the City purchases the banner, the
Council should also note that the activities being displayed are community activities and therefore
advertising serves a public purpose. While there may be less legal ramifications if the City purchases
and owns the banners, there may be political issues depending upon the activities chosen to advertise.
Local organizations or clubs may ask the City for similar treatment to those groups that have received
banner advertising. The Council will be in the position of choosing which groups deserve the
recognition and which activities don't. Care must be taken in stated criteria for determining City
sponsorship so decisions aren't made arbitrarily and can withstand public scrutiny.
2
For the present, staff is recommending starting a banner program for the traditional community
events, Haunted Trail and Leprechaun Days, as well as advertising RAAC and the Yellow Ribbon.
Promotion of these activities will allow staff to assess the cost and manpower necessary to provide
more banner - advertising opportunities than the current situation. Staff is also recommending using the
traditional banner option rather than "over 145" Street ". From a cost and design perspective, staff
prefers the current banner displays.
CONCLUSION
The discussion about banners has been raised over the course of several years. Initially banners were
identified for self - promotion of the City. More recently there has been interest in advertising
community wide events that serve a public purpose. Some potential partners were previously
contacted and asked if they would like to purchase banners which the City would install consistent
with the Council direction. No organizations moved forward.
The current concept is to have the City pay and maintain additional community banners. A few events
have been identified in the memo above that would be considered of community significance. City
financial involvement and decision making assists in addressing some of the legal issues associated
with public forum and free speech. However, political issues about what organizations are chosen may
be raised. Of course the advertising program also raises financial considerations as banner cost and
operational costs are considered.
At this time staff is recommending that the Council explore advertising of events of community wide
benefit. The Leprechaun Days community event is the prime example. Other options include the
Haunted Trail, a RAAC function (the holiday show perhaps), and maybe some joint event with the
Yellow Ribbon organization. These displays will allow the Council to assess the cost and benefits of
the banner program. Meanwhile staff can explore other advertising opportunities that might present
themselves. One option would be to display on the Community Center Readerboard sign, if it is
decided that it should be replaced.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion and guidance
A Council member has forwarded the interest of a non- profit community group, the booster organization
for the Rosemount High School matching band, to pay for its own variation on the City's new light pole
banners to welcome participants in a yearly competition. Informal discussions in the group have
apparently pointed toward banners that would include the City visual identity system on one side and a
greeting to competition attendees on the other. Staff has researched a similar arrangement in another city,
and has a summary of internal discussions about policy considerations.
CURRENT ROSEMOUNT BANNERS
The City putchased new banners for light poles late last year. Most have been installed Downtown along
1456' Street and South Robert Trail; a few are beside the retail development that includes Cub Foods.
Some poles along South Robert do not have banner arms; those arms are expected to be delivered this
week. When the work is complete, the City will have roughly 135 bannered poles. The new banners cost
the City approximately $45 each; the banner arms cost $190 per pole. Public Works estimates that
switching out all banners including the poles with the new arms will require commitment of a three- person
crew for a full day.
There are two additional banners, slightly larger than the rest and displaying the old City logo, in place on
South Robert near the Community Center and near the middle school These banners will probably be
removed soon, and there are no plans to replace them. Otherwise, there are no banner arms installed
north of 143`d Street.
USE OF BANNERS IN LUVERNE
The City of Luverne, Minn. {2000 population: 4,617) hosts a popular band competition in the fall. That
event is one of four celebrations that are marked with special banners, posted in about a dozen locations
on approaches to the community. The banners are taller and wider than the ones used in Rosemount.
They carry a promotional message for the event, and each banner includes at the bottom the name of a
different local business that provided financial support for the effort The Iocal chamber of commerce
coordinates fundraising and creation of the banners and handles decisions about which events should be
promoted this way. The City of Luverne installs and removes the banners without charge as its
contribution to the effort. The banners go up two or three weeks before an event, and are replaced
afterward with generic banners for the city.
Banners in the central part of the community are not changed for events.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS FOR ROSEMOUNT
Among the issues that could be considered in formation of a promotional bannering policy:
• Should the City, like Luverne, provide the installation, removal, and storage of banners without
charge to the organization?
• How long would promotional banners be left in place? If the Rosemount event takes place in
October, the regular City banners would need to be reinstalled after the event and then taken down
again about a month later for seasonal decorations. To minimize wear and tear on the regular
banners, should the holiday banners go up sooner, or is there too much of a loss in having the
regular banners unseen for three months in a rows
• Would banners be put in place at specific locations, or on every available pole that has a City
banner today?
• How should staff handle additional and possibly competing requests from organizations for similar
consideration?
• Would other school booster groups want a similar arrangement around the same time in the
fall.?
• Should a distinction be drawn between public and non -public schools, or school - related groups
and other types of organtzation0
+ Would it be acceptable to allow banners promoting a religious or political group's event, or a
for - profit acnviq??
• Is there a limit to how much of the year the regular banners should be kept off display?

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion
BACKGROUND:
Over the past several years, the Cite• Council has discussed the installation of a system to hang Manners for
events across 145"' Street. based on recent City Council direction, Staff has completed a prelirninarN
investigation nto the estimated coast and feasibility of installing a systatn for hanging banners.
Revictc -Ing the downtown area, Staff anticipates that the installation of pole, to hang banners could be
considered orrt 145`x' Street nest of Highway 3. 'T 'he attached exhibit shores a mock -up of a banner across
145"' Street, the estimated cost for the design, materials and installation of poles and wires for the
banners is $6.400 to 577,000. Depending on the Final location of poles, it may be necessary to secure
easement(s) from adjacent property owners. If casements are necessarv, any cost associated with
developing and securing easements ,could be in addition to the above amount. J-he proposed locations
for the poles will try to minimize conflictwith pedestrian users of the sidewalk on 145 "' Street.
Staff asked for a price quote On the cost of it street -width banner from the vendor that manufactured
lamppost banners for the City in 2006. 'flhe vendor said that it can provide suitable banners that are three
feet high and 40 feet wide. for 51,420 each. 'I1he unit cost would be slightly lower if more than one banner
of the same design were ordered. The service of the vendor's artist to create the desilnh would add 5200 to
$300 to the cast.
L'rtlik -e the larnppost banners that were made of canvass, the street banner would need to be made of vinyl
because of weight issues. *Fhe vendor will not provide a warranty for v -my] banners of that size:, and its
customer repx- csentative said that banners of that tape typically can be relied on for only a few weeks at a
time and should not be considered permanent. (An example was the banner used in Stillwater to promote
I;.utnberjack Days, which apparently is ortly displayed for two tiveeks before the ev=ent.) A banner's life
might be extended by adding slits to reduce the effect of -,N-Ind, although that ma 'y limit the usable designis
and make the banner less attractive, and the vendor still will not guarantee its useful life.
'I'he Citv curremly has a policy for promotion of activities by entities outside of Cite government that was
written to govern which hyperlinks to outside websites can be included on the Cite- site. (The policy is
copied in the "Disclaimer" suction of the fate website.) In general, the CM, will promote only activities of
other goy =ern- rnents or of non- profit entities with which the City has a service agreement or other formal
arrangement. Creating a different policy for banner displah would need to take into account restrictions
on governnhuat for regulating a public forum for speech, aic,ng with abiding by legal requirerncnts to limit
spending to public purposes.

WORK SESSION PROCEEDINGS
NOVEMBER 10, 2010
2.C. 145ei Street Banner
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Brotzler summarized the banner supports listed in the staff
report. Communications Coordinator Cox summarized information about the banners and banner
materials.
Different options were discussed for placing banners in the Downtown. Council Member Shoe -
Corrigan suggested that the City to install the poles but the organizations would pay for the banners.
Council Member Weisensel was concerned about adding another element to the sidewalk.
Discussion continued about using existing banner poles and switching out with different banners
purchased by organizations.
The City Council agreed that using new banners on existing brackets would be a great community
feature but they did not support the placement of a street banner of 145' Street.
2.D. Elections
City Administrator Johnson stated that because Council Member Bills would be vacating his City
Council term the City Council would need to decide on holding a special election or appointing a
new member. He explained that while City Code states a Special Election is required the ordinance
was actually rescinded by a motion shortly after adoption.
Discussion was held by the City Council regarding the cost associated with the special election, the
timeframe and the appointment process used in the past. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan preferred
to appoint a new member instead of expending funds on an election. Council Member Weisensel
preferred a special election but if the appointment process were used instead he wanted it to be a
transparent and open process. Council Member DeBettignies preferred holding a special election.
After further debate and ideas for the how the solicitation and interview process would be handled
the City Council decided to move forward with an appointment process.
UPDATES
3.A. 2091 Budget Discussion
