<br />'e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />." <br /> <br /> <br />INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />JUNE 3, 1997 <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Jeff Litqhfield, Assistant City Manager ~, A <br />Stephen L. Barr, Director of Parks & Recreatio~ /dr-- <br />RE: ADVERTISEMENT - LA PORTE <br />RIDING ARENA <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />As. discussed, the La Porte Livestock Show and Rodeo Association has begun <br />solicitation and placement of advertisements at the Riding Arena. This was brought to <br />my attention by staff who commented that a Budweiser sign (along with others) had <br />been placed at the arena. <br /> <br />I had staff get a list of advertisements, (approximately 30) and submit them for review. <br />The Budweiser ad was the only one of the group that could cause us problems. The rest <br />were local La Porte and Deer Park businesses that appeared to be reputable and in <br />good standing. <br /> <br />I called Melton Wolters to get his take on the advertisement and to ask why they had not <br />consulted with us as is required by the agreement His answer was that he was not <br />aware that they had to get our permission before placement of advertisements. I <br />apprised him of the stipulations in the agreement and he agreed to remove the beer <br />advertisement and to not place any more advertisements without our approval in <br />advance. He said that the Budweiser people had failed to pay their $3,500 pledge <br />anyway and that they were getting ready to take it down, and solicit one from Miller Lite, <br />After our conversation, he agreed not to pursue the Miller Lite advertisement. <br /> <br />Please let me know if there is additional action required on the part of City staff. We will <br />continue to monitorthe advertisements placed to insure that the City's image is upheld. <br /> <br />SB/rodeo advertisement597 <br />
