Title
Resolution to Approve New Fees for the Public Sale of the City Flag
Memorandum
At the September 3, 2024 Regular Session, the Ann Arbor City Council passed Resolution R-24-370, "Resolution to Accept the New City of Ann Arbor Flag Redesign in Honor of the 2024 Bicentennial Celebration." As part of the flag redesign process, it was determined that there was public interest in obtaining memorabilia related to the flag for personal use and display.
The attached resolution proposes establishing new fees for the sale of the new City flags to the public. Following the design and production of a new City flag, the City Clerk's Office was provided with several flag-related items for distribution/sale to the public, including laptop/water bottle stickers, parade flags, and large flags for flying/display.
The attached resolution for your consideration and approval proposes the following charges for the public, at approximately the cost to produce. A fee is not being proposed for the stickers, consistent with other City stickers and giveaways that are provided to the public for marketing and promotional purposes at no cost.
Parade Flag - $10.00
Large City Flag - $65.00
Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
