Council approves Main Street banner exceptions, allows up to 17 permanent banners
Summary
Indianola Main Street won council approval to install up to 17 permanent banners downtown for up to a year, with IMU performing installation; staff recommended holding 51% of bracket locations available for other groups.
The Indianola City Council approved an exception allowing Indianola Main Street to use up to 17 permanent banners (roughly 49% of available bracket locations) in the downtown district for up to one year, with a re-evaluation after that period.
Staff (Bryce) said the request seeks exceptions to the city's banner policy for duration, material (vinyl vs. canvas/nylon), and size to match existing brackets. He said staff recommends allowing 17 permanent banners while preserving the remainder of locations for other community events and groups. IMU will perform installation at an estimated cost of about $350 per pole.
Council members supported the proposal while asking staff to stagger placements and preserve availability for veterans and other community groups. The resolution approving the banner exceptions carried by roll call.
