Council Communication

Title:	Request for Co-Sponsorship and Banner Approval for Relay for Life
Dept:	Administration
Date:	March 4, 2003
Submitted By:	Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator

Synopsis:	The Relay for Life event organizers have requested the City of Ashland co-sponsor the Relay for Life event which is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, 2003. The event takes place at Raider Stadium and the organizers would like to hang a banner advertising the event over East Main Street the week of May 26th. Per City regulations, only co-sponsored events with the City are granted permission to hang banners across East Main Street.
Recommendation:	Because of Ashland Community Hospital's involvement with the event, it is recommended that the City of Ashland co-sponsor the Relay for Life event to take place on May 31, 2003, and approve a banner to hang across East Main Street.
Fiscal Impact:	None, unless the council waives the $125 banner installation fee.
Background:	Last year, after an appearance by the Relay for Life event organizers before council to request co-sponsorship, the banner request was granted.
