AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 19, 2001
SUBJECT:
Spare the Air Banners
Report Prepared by.' Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director
ATTACHMENTS:
Photograph of Banner Design
RECOMMENDATION:
ApproVe BAAQMD banner design and proposed installation of
banners from mid-July through September, or provide other
direction.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District would fund the cost
of the banners if the standard design is used. The additional cost to
install and remove 20 banners at a different time from a normal
seasonal rotation would be approximately $920. Sufficient funds
have been budgeted in the Street Landscape Operating Budget to
cover this cost.
DESCRIPTION: 'One of the City Council's adopted goals for 2001 is installation of
Spare the Air banners during the summer months when air quality issues arise.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has a standard-design banner that can be
obtained at no cost to the City. The standard banner is the blue, white, and yellow design shown on the
attachment and would include the City of Dublin' s name. The only condition that the BAAQMD would
require of the City is that the banners also be used in future years. The banners would be delivered
approximately two weeks after BAAQMD receives the approval from the City.
The flag banners currently mounted on the light poles typically remain in place until after Labor Day,
at which time they are replaced with the fall banners. The current installation also includes 20 Summer
Concert banners which would need to remain in place at least until after the last concert on August 10th.
Placement of 20 Spare the Air banners would essentially leave one flag banner on each pole, paired with
either a Summer Concert or Spare the Air banner.
Since September is also a targeted month for air quality, it is recommended that the Spare the Air banners
remain in place after the fall banners have been installed; the installation contractor would return at the
COPIES TO:
ITEM NO.

end of September and replace the Spare the Air banners with the remaining fall banners. The cost of the
extra installation and removal is indicated in the Financial Statement of this report.
Staff recommends that the City Council approye the BAAQMD design and proposed schedule for
installation, or provide other direction.
