BANNERS <br /> The banners along County Road E need to be replaced, in the past, the <br /> banners have been purchased through private donations. The City does <br /> not have the right equipment to replace the banners. The Staff prepared <br /> two estimates on the cost to replace the banners. The first estimate (5 year <br /> life expectancy) is based on providing two banner themes (Spring/Summer <br /> & Fall/Winter). The second estimate (7 year life expectancy) is based on <br /> providing four banner themes (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). The <br /> cost estimates for the purchasing of the banners and the rental equipment <br /> is as follows: <br /> 1. $7,267.31 for 20 banners two (2) times a year, Spring/Summer and <br /> Fall/Winter, with brackets and equipment rental. <br /> 2. $14,271.33 for 20 banners four(4) times a year, Spring, Summer, <br /> Winter and Fall, with brackets and equipment rental. <br /> The Staff informed the EDC that with proper equipment the 20 banners <br /> could be alternated in approximately four(4) hours. <br /> The EDC concluded that banners should be purchased through donations <br /> from the business along County Road E and charitable organizations. Ray <br /> McGraw and Ted Brausen volunteered to contact the businesses on <br /> County Road E to obtain their comments and possible donations, and <br /> report back the information at the next EDC meeting. <br /> 6.
