Sec. 22-101City co-sponsorship of special events

The city may co-sponsor a proposed special. Co-sponsorship may take the form of a monetary contribution in support of the event, provision of services in-kind at no cost to the applicant, or both. Decisions on whether to participate in the proposed special event as a co- sponsor and what will be provided as a co-sponsor are entrusted to the discretion of the governing authority.

As a part of the application process an applicant may request that the city co-sponsor the proposed special event. The request must be in writing, describe with particularity the type(s) of co-sponsorship desired, and describe how the special event proposed will enhance or promote economic development in the city or promote and advance the health, welfare, or safety of the public or a segment of the public within the city or county.
