RESOLUTION N0. 1571 V
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 1546
ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE DISPLAY OF
BANNERS FROM THE MARQUEE OVER SR160
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard has allowed banners
to be installed over State Road 160, and
WHEREAS, the Volunteer Fire Department of the City of
Port Orchard installs and removes these banners.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT
ORCHARD DOES HEREBY RESOLVE THAT RESOLUTION NO. 1546 IS HEREBY
AMENDED TO ESTABLISH the following policy in regard to the placement
of banners from the marque over State Road 160:
The purpose of the banner is to provide a means to
advertise a community event to the public at a
minimum cost.
Priority for the banners will be for those events
held within the city limits.
Applications for the placement of banners will be
made to the Fire Chief. The fee for the banner
hanging will be Fifty Dollars ($50.00) and this will
provide for one installation and one removal of the
banner. The fee will be used to compensate the
volunteers.
Banner placement is limited to nonprofit
organizations such as service clubs, charitable
organizations and community events. The names of
the commercial sponsors may be placed on the banner,
but that advertising must be smaller and less
noticeable than the name of the event. Nonprofit
organizations would be defined as those complying
with either the Internal Revenue Service or the
State of Washington definition of nonprofit.
Community events sponsored by a church would be
eligible.
RESOLUTION NO. 1571

construction.
The Port Orchard Fire Chief is responsible for the
implementation of this policy. Appeals to his
decision may be made to the City Council.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Orchard,
APPROVED by the Mayor and attested by the Clerk in authentication of
such passage this 8th day of April, 1991.
