Tim Seriet, Director of Public Works, presented the staff report.

advertising, stating he feels it would create clutter in the City.

Temecula First", but is not in favor of individual businesses being allowed to advertise
in this manner.

be lost and a situation called "public forum" can be created. He explained typically
these types of banners are used for seasonal events, or City sponsored events, but to
be involved in an actual marketing program, just like another advertising company, may
cause problems.
Councilmember Parks suggested that staff be instructed to further research where
these banners would be located, what kinds of events would be promoted and the fees
associated. He also suggested that local organizations, such as the Chamber of
Commerce, Balloon and Wine Festival, Tractor Race, etc, be contacted to see if they
are interested is participating in this program.
Mayor Muiioz suggested that the City look at using these banners for seasonal holiday
decorations.
City Manager Dixon stated that from past experience, banner programs have been used
to promote special events, with a change every 3 to 4 months. He stated he feels the
Council needs further information and also voiced safety concerns about volunteer
