(A) Any person, partnership, association, company or corporation may request the placement of banner(s) on designated locations on city-owned property by filing with the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department or designee thereof (hereinafter "director") an installation fee as established in Vol. I, Article 4-1 Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule, and a completed application provided by the parks and recreation department stating the following: name of applicant, address, phone number, sponsoring organization, contact person, purpose of banner, complete description of activity being promoted and description of the message, artwork and logos to be displayed.
(B) Permission to display a banner is subject to a "first-come, first-serve" basis, provided that the following is satisfied: the banner promotes an event or service available for or open to the general public which is of community-wide interest in the city; and the request for the display of the banner has been initiated at least 30 consecutive calendar days before the desired date of placement.
(C) All banners may be displayed for a maximum of 14 consecutive calendar days once a year. All banners shall be made and supplied by applicant or its agent and shall be made of flame retardant heavy canvas (12-ounce minimum), 18-ounce vinyl or equivalent in strength and durability according to industry standards. All banners must have printing on both sides, with perimeter grommets spaced no further than 2 feet apart, with a minimum of eight 6-inch wind relief holes or baffles, and can be no larger than 3 feet tall and 30 feet long.
(D) The Director shall supervise city personnel in actual removal and placement of banners at initial placement and at other times for maintenance and replacement as requested by applicant. However, applicant shall have the responsibility for informing the Director of the need for such replacement and maintenance based on a visual inspection. Applicant must deliver a new banner to the director in situations in which replacement is needed. If the Director observes at any time after the banner has been displayed that it is damaged, insecurely fastened or obstructs the view of any motorists or pedestrians, the Director may cause such banner to be removed without first notifying the applicant. In such case, the Director shall notify the applicant that the banner was removed and allow the applicant 48 hours to provide the Parks and Recreation Department with a new banner to be displayed. Any display interruption due to removal of the banner by the Director caused by any of the 3 reasons set forth above will not toll the time limitations referenced in division (C) above.
(E) Corporate and/or commercial sponsors and their logos may be listed on such banners, but the name and logo of the sponsor shall not exceed 1/3 the height and length of the name of the event, as printed on the banner. Banners cannot be used by political candidates or political committees for campaign purposes.
(F) Permission to display banners may be revoked by the Director if applicant fails to follow any of the above-noted requirements. Once the 14-day display period has expired, city personnel shall remove the banner(s) and shall store the banner(s) for 14 additional days, and shall thereafter discard such banner(s) if directed to do so in writing by applicant or if applicant fails to claim the banner(s) at the end of the storage period.
(G) Applicant agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the city, its officers, agents and employees for any and all suits relating to any injury or accident or property damage caused by the banners.
(H) Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Director must file a written appeal with the City Manager, or designee thereof within 5 working days of the decision. The City Manager shall schedule a hearing and hold the hearing within 5 working days upon receiving the notification. The City Manager shall inform the appellant in writing of the decision to overrule, modify or sustain the Director's action within 3 working days after conclusion of the hearing. The decision of the City Manager shall be final and binding subject only to the civil appeal remedies under A.R.S. §§ 12-981 et seq.
