City manager to draft downtown light-pole policy for nonprofit use
Summary
City Manager Scott Czasak told the Committee of the Whole he will develop a policy for nonprofit use of downtown light poles, work with the city attorney to address liability concerns and return a draft to the council for review.
City Manager Scott Czasak informed the Caro City Council Committee of the Whole on Feb. 6, 2025, that he intends to draft a policy governing use of downtown light poles by nonprofit organizations. Czasak said he will consult the city attorney to address potential liability and other legal issues and will bring a draft policy to the council when it is ready.
Why it matters: a formal policy would clarify who may place signs, banners or materials on public light poles, how liability and maintenance are handled, and how nonprofit organizations request permission. No draft language or timeline was provided at the Feb. 6 meeting.
Next steps: Czasak will work with the city attorney and return a draft policy to the council for review and possible action.
