Item # 8.3.A. <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Director of Parks and Recreation <br />DATE: August 4, 2005 <br />SUBJECT: Advertising Signs in City Parks <br />ITEM <br />Parks and Recreation Staff receive frequent requests from non-profit groups for permission <br />to locate mobile advertising signs in City Parks. The Ice Arena uses these signs to market the <br />Craft Fair. Orono Park is the most frequently requested location. Staff believes that these <br />signs detract from the aesthetics of the park and should be prohibited, and is looking for <br />direction from the Parks and Recreation Commission. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Prohibit mobile advertising signs in City of Elk River Parks. This would include City <br />departments as well. <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Recommend to City Council a policy that mobile advertising signs be prohibited in City of <br />Elk River Parks. <br />
