TITLE:
City of Flagstaff Advertising Policy
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Discuss with the Mayor, Vice Mayor and Councilmembers the revisions we are making to our advertising standards to form a facility-wide policy that acts as a guideline for businesses, groups, events, and more when advertising with the City of Flagstaff (COF).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Flagstaff has permitted advertising to be placed in certain City of Flagstaff facilities for a number of years. The facilities that accept advertising currently are Joe C. Montoya Community and Senior Center, Jay Lively Activity Center, Flagstaff Aquaplex, Hal Jensen Recreation Center and the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. We also have Athletics and Events programs that include advertising as well.
Up until this time, we have only had a small portion of advertising standards outlined on the advertising agreement a business would sign before placing their advertising up in our facility. What we have found are the standards we have been following are not broad enough compared to other recreation facilities and airports similar in nature to the COF and a more formal policy is needed.

INFORMATION:
During our research of other airports we looked at the following and their policies to help guide us in creating ours: Blue Grass Airport, Charleston International Airport, Mesa/Gateway, Phoenix Sky Harbor, Sonoma County Airport, Tucson International, and Waco Regional Airport.
The staff will walk you through the current standards we have and the suggested changes/edits we are proposing for the formal advertising policy. This policy will be offered to all businesses, events planners, and more who inquire about advertising at any of our COF facilities as well as create a consistency among all our facilities.
