ISSUE
In preparation for their historic trip to the Macy’s Parade this November, the Rosemount High School
band is raising funds to acquire and outfit a much-needed equipment trailer to replace the aging trailer
currently owned. The proposed trailer, a used 52’ semi-trailer, will be “wrapped” with a design promoting
the Band and its supporters (examples shown on the attached images).
Wrapping the trailer provides a unique opportunity to create a roving billboard for the Band and City as it
travels thousands of miles across the country over the next 15-20 years. As such, the Band approached the
City and offered an opportunity to contribute $2,000 toward the wrapping and design of the trailer, with
the intent being to promote the City of Rosemount on the trailer. City staff would be involved in the
design of the trailer to assure that it supports the City’s branding and marketing efforts.
Funding for this $2,000 contribution is available in the 2017 Council Designated Spending budget.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council authorize a $2,000 donation to the Rosemount High School Band for
joint-marketing efforts on their new equipment trailer.
