An outline of the proposed banner is 'Exhibit A' of the resolution. The amended fee schedule is 'Exhibit B' of the resolution. None of the previously adopted fees within the Parks and Recreation fee schedule are proposed for changes under this resolution. In accordance with direction provided by the City Commission on May 12, 2025, City staff has collaborated with the Veterans and Veterans Family Advisory Committee to develop an annual Veterans Recognition Banner Program, along with associated fees. The proposed program was presented to the Veterans and Veterans Family Advisory Committee on July 10, 2025. Following this meeting, City staff worked with a designated liaison from the Committee to further refine the program model. The Winter Springs Veteran Banner Program is designed to honor local veterans by displaying commemorative banners on designated City streetlight poles located in the public right-of-way. This annual initiative serves to recognize and celebrate the service and sacrifice of Winter Springs residents who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Banners will be displayed annually from early January through early June and may be renewed each year for an additional fee. To date, staff has identified approximately 77 potential installation locations for the program's first year. These include decorative light poles leased by the City from Duke Energy along the public right-of-way on North Tuskawilla Road and Blumberg Boulevard within the Town Center. A program model has been developed, outlining key responsibilities of relevant City staff positions related to program administration. An initial participation fee of $200 is proposed to cover banner production, installation, and administrative overhead. A renewal fee of $100 is also proposed for returning participants in future years. Participants who wish to have a banner displayed in future years but their previously used banner is not in acceptable condition for display an additional banner reproduction fee of $100 will be applied. 633 To streamline the application and payment process, staff has integrated the program with existing Parks & Recreation software already in use by the City. For the initial display period beginning in January 2026, the proposed application deadline is Friday, October 14, 2025. For future years, the annual application deadline will be October 1. A sample illustration of the proposed banner has been attached to the this agenda item. FUNDING SOURCE City staff has identified funds from 001-72-7240-550520 in the proposed FY25/26 budget to cover the printing cost associated with producing these banners which will be offset by associated revenues from program participants. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending the City Commission approved Resolution No. 2025-08 to update the Parks & Recreation Fee Schedule and approve the establishment of a Veterans Banner Recognition Program. 634 City of Winter Springs Resolution No. 2025-08 Page 1 of 3 RESOLUTION 2025-08 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING A VETERANS BANNER RECOGNITION PROGRAM AND UPDATING AND REVISING THE SCHEDULE OF FEES FOR PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITY USES AND ACTIVITIES; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT RESOLUTIONS; SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
