The purpose of this section is to prescribe standards by which
the City will provide limited availability for community-based service
organizations and educational institutions to advertise their events
or a series of events that are of general public interest utilizing
City of Compton designated street banner spaces according to the criteria
set forth herein. It is not the intent of the City of Compton to provide

event banner, nor based on the nature of the event, provided that
the requested banner meets the requirements of this section. These

events conducted, sponsored or funded by the City. Such street banners

right to hang City sponsored street banners from any street banner
space.
