TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nancy L. Beard, Director of Parks, Recreation &
Community Services
SUBJECT: Contract for the selling of Skate Park advertising
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That Council authorizes the selling of advertising, with a 40% standard commission, to
generate funds for the City's Skate Park
BACKGROUND:
This proposal is very similar to the city's arrangement with Recreation Program
contractors who receive a percentage of revenue from the fees their programs generate.
In April of 1999, the city opened the first Skate Park located within our city's boundaries.
The park was presented as a self-sufficient facility. Both non-resident and resident fees
were imposed to sustain the park with staff, equipment and maintenance. In addition to
the fees, advertising was to be sold within the park. A few opportunities have come by
way of community support for the park but many more exist. The proposal will
proactively seek out those who wish to support the park.
Advertising will be sold by way of four different sized ads. Each ad will be reviewed by
the City Manager prior to its being accepted. There will be no tobacco or alcoholic
beverage ads of any kind. The contractor will receive 40% of the ad price, which includes
the cost of signage. The city's 60% will go directly back into park's upkeep and to
supplement operating cost as needed. A current Recreation Contractor indicated an
interest in the advertising sales. A non-exclusion agreement is provided.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the current budget. Value to the city could reach $8,000
annually.
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon motion of the Consent Calendar, Council will approve the advertising agreement
and authorize the City Manager to execute same.

Re: Proposal to sell advertising at the Seal Beach Skate Park
I, Scott Durzo, would like to contract advertising at the Skate Park as follows:
Advertising Board Price Sheet
Sign Size Plan 1 Plan 2 Length of Time Each add'I
(We make sign) (Existing sign) years)
3 x 4 450 350 2 years 300
4 x 4 550 350 2 years 300
6 x 4 850 650 2 years 450
8 x 4 1000 700 2 years 500
Ramp Purchase Market Price N/A Life Time N/A
Of Romp
Two pricing plans:
Plan 1: You provide artwork and text and we make the sign.
Plan 2: If you have a pre-existing sign that is in excellent shape, we will format the sign
to fit the pre-measured advertising slot.
Note: All signs are professionally made on 4' Enamelled Masonite.
I would like the contract percentage to be 40%to Scott Durzo and 60%to the City and
the Skate Park. The 40%fee paid to the contractor includes professionally made signs by
Machan Sign Co. in Long Beach. The 60%fee the City receives is pure money that can be used
for what it deems necessary for the skate park. The City will pay for mailings, faxing,and
copying,all under the approval of the Director. The Director will have final approval of mailings,
literature, and any ideas that may come to further promote and make the park successful.
