North Battleford city council has adopted its new title and general sponsorship policy.
The new policy provides “guidelines to facilitate and support opportunities for sponsorship of municipally-owned assets.” It was carried unanimously.
Originally the draft policy covered recreational facilities such as arenas, parks, playing fields and so on. But at a meeting last week, there was sentiment to have the policy cover all municipal facilities, not just recreational ones. Administration has agreed to those changes, and the policy adopted Monday covers all facilities in all parts of the city.
At Monday’s meeting, Director of Leisure Services Cheryl DeNeire said the policy had gone “from it being leisure-services related to city-wide.”
DeNeire added that all final decisions come back to council for approval.
“Don’t worry about name changes or that nature, council will always have the final say in anything that goes forward from this,” said DeNeire.
