The approved Master fee schedule has a range of $35.00-$300.00 per banner per month (30 days) depending on location and Business or Organization. Banner must be 4 feet-high x 8 feet-long. Staff recommends providing wind slits in banners to sustain high winds and tough weather conditions. All banners are to be put up and taken down by City of Hercules staff only. City staff is not responsible for broken, damaged, or stolen banners. The City of Hercules will reserve locations up to 1 year in advance for City Recognized Non-Profit Groups and 6 months in advance for businesses and state non-profit organizations. All reservations are first come first serve and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Banner locations will only be reserved with the banner application and full payment for the dates and locations requested.

City programs and banners will take precedence over business and non-profit banners. At the end of the 30 days, City staff will remove any associated banners for retrieval to the Parks & Recreation Department. If no representative picks up the banner within a 2 week period, the banner will be discarded.
