A. 
The Borough of Rutherford takes great pride in the men and women who have served our country in its times of need. The Military Banner Program is intended to assist the Borough in honoring friends and family of current or former residents of the Borough who have served our great country and to salute our brave men and women who are currently serving, or who have served in the military, by creating and displaying military banners to be exhibited on the poles throughout the Borough between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. All banners shall be purchased through the Borough for a fee of $150, which fee shall include the purchase price and costs of maintenance and administration of the program for a period of three years, and placed on poles designated by the Borough for same.
B. 
Applications.
(1) 
Applications can be obtained at the Department of Public Works, and shall include the following information:
(a) 
Whether the sponsor and/or honoree are current or former residents of the Borough.
(b) 
The name of the service person sponsored by a current or former resident of the Borough as it should appear on the banner, including the first and last name, years in service if known, branch of service, and medals received (if any).
(c) 
The name, address, phone number, email, and relationship of the sponsor to the service person.
(d) 
A photo of the honoree (high resolution and in uniform is preferred). The Borough is not responsible to return the original photograph.
C. 
Renewals.
(1) 
After the initial three years referenced in Subsection A have expired, sponsors will be contacted via email and regular postal mail and advised they have two options:
(a) 
Renew annually for a fee of $25. If the sponsor chooses the annual renewal option, it should be noted that after the initial third year, the Borough is not responsible for damage or tearing of the banner. If the banner does need to be replaced, the sponsor shall submit another fee of $150 to create a new banner for another three-year term.
(b) 
Discontinue from the program. If the sponsor elects to discontinue from the program, the sponsor will receive notice from the Borough to pick up the banner. The sponsor must pick up the banner from the Borough within 30 days of the notice. If the banner is not picked up within 30 days of said notice the Borough will remove the banner to storage and the Borough shall no longer be responsible to return the banner to the sponsor.
(2) 
The location of the banner is not guaranteed and shall be located at the discretion of the Borough.
