Street Banner Display Policy
PURPOSE
To establish guidelines for display of street banners on designated City streets.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City of East Wenatchee that street banners are not a forum for free
expression by the public. Rather, street banners may only be displayed as an expression of the
City’s own sentiments. As such, only street banners reflecting City-endorsed programs, policies,
or causes may be authorized and displayed.
Banners reflecting the following subject matter are approved and are not subject to the
preapproval process but will be subject to final Council approval:
Sister city
Equity/Diversity
Federal Holidays
City Sponsored Events
Process
City Staff will devise an application and evaluation process for nonprofits to apply for a permit
to display street banners for a specific period of time.
Nonprofits desiring to display a street banner shall provide an electronic copy of the banner
design, specifications, and an explanation of the subject-matter expressed with the application
submitted. The application shall include the specific dates requested for display of the banners.
An application for display of street banners shall be delivered to the city clerk between January
1st and November 1st, of the calendar year prior to the year during which the applicant desires to
display the banners.
Following the close of the annual application period, the applications received will first be
evaluated for preapproval by the Mayor, followed by the review and final approval by the City
Council. Applicants shall be notified by December 15th of the decisions made regarding the
approval or denial of the street banner application.
Approved street banners shall be delivered to City Hall one week prior to the approved display
dates to ensure timely installation.
Street Banners shall be installed and uninstalled by the City, and must be picked up by the
applicant within 10 days after the end of the display. Banners not picked up shall be disposed of
on the 11th day.
