The policy is intended to provide clear guidelines for staff and local businesses or <br />organizations regarding event sponsorships, ensuring a consistent and well-defined process for <br />accepting them. <br /> <br />Following consultation with the City Attorney, staff presented a draft Sponsorship Policy at the <br />meeting. Based on Council feedback, the draft was revised to include a stronger statement affirming <br />staff’s authority to reject any sponsorship for any reason. The phrase “or candidates” was added to the <br />policy’s list of prohibited sponsorships. The word “cannabis” was also added to the list of prohibited <br />sponsorships. The “Level of Recognition” section was also shortened to avoid redundancy with the <br />Sponsorship Brochure’s outlined sponsorship levels. <br /> <br />While other minor wording edits were made, all other components of the policy remain unchanged. <br /> <br />The Sponsorship Brochure shared during the discussion was presented only as a sample of what the <br />future Communications Coordinator will develop once the policy is adopted. Council directed staff to <br />bring the revised policy forward for formal adoption. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />N/A
