Reservation Process:

Community Service Banner Requests will be filled on first-come, first-served basis. All requests should be submitted in the month of November of the year prior to the date of the banner request. For example, if your event is in March 2026, you should complete the request form no later than November 30, 2025. A link to the request form is at the bottom of this page.

Fees:

Payment for your community service banner is due when you deliver the banner to Central Campus. An invoice will be emailed to you after your request is received and approved. Payment is accepted via check, or you can create an account in our online software and pay at home via credit card (a convenience fee will apply).

• For Profit Banner Fee: $300.00 per 2 weeks
• Non-Profit Banner Fee: $150.00 per 2 weeks

Banner Specifications and Material Requirements:

• No larger than 4 feet in width and 36 feet in length
• Material must be minnow-seine fabric made with open-weave nylon or polyester net
• Include 6-8' of durable rope sewn on all four corners
• Include banner clips; they must not be more than 16" apart

The City Secretary's Office is responsible for the scheduling of banners at the different sites and the installation and taking down of the banners with the assistance of the electric department.  Please verify all banners are in good shape and suitable to hang, as any banner that appears worn or in disrepair will not be hung. The wind has caused damage to banners in the past and issues that will prohibit banners from being displayed are rips in the fabric or vinyl, missing clips, frayed ropes, etc. The City is not responsible for any damage to banners, including once they are hung.

Banner Delivery/Pick-Up Process, Address and Hours:

The City requests that each club/organization bring the banner packaged in a clearly marked plastic storage container with the organization name attached and the banner fee to the Central Campus (126 W. Main Street) no later than the Friday prior to the requested placement date. If the banner and banner payment are not delivered by Friday they will not be hung.

Please verify that the banner has the correct graphics required for the event prior to display time. There will not be any changing of banners after the initial display.

Banners are the responsibility of the various organizations once they are removed. The City will not provide storage for the banners.

Banners should be picked up within the same week they are taken down. The banners will be brought back to Central Campus where the representative of the organization will collect the banner.  Banners left longer than one week will be disposed of.
