AGENDA #5b


Title of Agenda Item: Revised Administrative Procedures and Policy for Approval and Installation of Non-Commercial Banners and Flags Downtown. (R-2)

Council Goal 2: Champion Downtown

Background: On April 14, 2008 the Council adopted a policy related to the installation of banners in the downtown area. The policy was established in response to a petition from the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership. Adoption of the attached resolution would revise the existing “Administrative Procedures and Policy for Approval and Installation of Non-Commercial Banners in Downtown.” The revised resolution makes a distinction between banners and flags and stipulates the types of banners and flags permitted for display in banner arms and traditional flag holders, respectively.

Fiscal Note: The Town of Chapel Hill or a Contractor will install and remove approved banners. The requesting organization must pay for the installation and removal charges.

Recommendations: That the Council adopt a resolution that would revise the existing “Administrative Procedures and Policy” regarding approval and installation of banners and flags.
