FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
$13,200 is budgeted in the CIP for purchase of banners
and brackets for the 1988-89 Fiscal Year. Cost of
installation by City maintenance crew is included in
the operating budget.
DESCRIPTION:
In late 1987, the City purchased decorative banners to hang on
electroliers in the downtown area during the December holiday season. While
the City experienced some problems with the banners relative to wind damage
(which has been repaired by the supplier at no cost), the banners were
successful from an appearance standpoint, and funds have been budgeted to
purchase and install additional banners for the December holidays, as well as
for St. Patrick's Day.
Staff's intention is to increase the number of banners in the downtown
core area by doubling up the banners that were hung as "singles" last year,
and to cover additional areas by installing banners on San Ramon Road between
Amador Valley and Silvergate and on Dublin Blvd. between Village Parkway and
Dougherty Road. The total number of new banners proposed is 40, and the
designs would remain the same as last year's - trees on a green background,
bells on red, and snowflakes on blue. Exhibit 3 shows the designs for
December holiday banners.
The St. Patrick's banners (24) are proposed to be hung only in the
downtown core area, primarily along the parade route. One of the banner
suppliers has submitted four possible designs for the banners, which are shown
on Exhibit 4. Staff requests that the City Council choose one of the designs,
or if none of them is determined to be suitable, suggest modifications to the
designs or direct Staff to have alternate designs prepared. If the words "St.
Patrick's Day" are omitted from the banner, it may be possible to also use
these banners for the Shamrock Festival. The most suitable designs are those
which are large and rather simple, as the more complicated or smaller designs
tend to get "lost" when the banners are 18 feet above the ground.
If alternate designs are requested, Staff would recommend deleting the
St. Patrick's banners from the current bid spec so as not to delay obtaining
the December holiday banners. The St. Patrick's banners could be purchased at
a later date without increasing the cost.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize solicitation of bids
for holiday banners and brackets.
