CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL WORKSHOP OF APRIL 7,1998 To: Honorable Mayor and City CoURcil Approval: Henry T. Garcia, City Manage From: Kathy A. Kivley, Assistant to t e ity Manager Subject: Authorize the Purchase of New Banners S14 Date: March 31, 1999 BACKGROUND For many years the City of Colton scheduled only a few community events. Over the past year, as a City Council, your vision for the City empowered staff to revive various old events and create new ones. The banner program's intent is to broadcast information about our community to help strengthen the economy, promote the exceptional quality of life within this family oriented community, increase visitors, and amplify and expand citizen participation in community events. DISCUSSION /ANALYSIS On January 12, 1999 of this year, you authorized the continued implementation of the Colors for Colton Program. The banner form of communication reminds our residents and visitors alike on an almost daily basis, to support our community. This part of the program involves hanging 250 banners, entitled "Discover Colton" throughout the community advertising the eight street fairs at Fleming Park over the remaining months in the calendar year. Recently a banner committee composed of three City Councilmembers developed the design for the new banners. The proposed new banners are single sided, four color, Y x 8, white vinyl. They will hang on marblelite and steel poles on the major arterials throughout the City. The banners will hang on La Cadena Dr., Valley Blvd., Washington St., Rancho Ave., Mt. Vernon Ave., and Colton Ave. The proposed new banners Will hang beginning approximately April 15, 1999 through October 1, 1999. FINANCIAL IMPACT Four-color banners on white are $42.50 per banner. Because we were able to use Microsoft Clipart again, the charge for design is only $150.00. In order to expedite the installation and removal of the banners, we proposed to again rent the fiberglass attachment hardware at $19.50 per banner. This price includes installation and removal of the banners, and a thirty -day warranty period. To purchase the hardware, the cost is approximately $34.00 per banner. It would then require our Utility Department install and remove the banners and excludes the thirty -day warranty period. The approximate cost for printing 250 four-color single design banners ($10,525), including installation and removal ($4,875), consistent with the schedule as outlined above will be $15,620. The project account number is 520-8000-8005-2350-0923-000. RECOMMENDATION Authorize the purchase of the new banners as outlined consistent with the banner design committee's recommendation.
