On December 17, 2001, Council adopted policies regarding signs on public property. Per Section IV(E) Eligibility for Banners and Flags on Main Street Light Posts states; Only applicants for significant anniversaries (25th, 5dh, 75th and JOdh) of local non-profit organizations shall be eligible for consideration pursuant to this policy. All other requests from other organizations or for other types of events shall be forwarded to City Council. In the past, Council has granted requests for prominent local, regional, state or nation events including last year's Food and Wine Magazine Classic.

Galena St. Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Kathryn: I am writing to you on behalf of the Food and Wine Magazine Classic in Aspen and the Aspen Chamber Resort Association. Often considered Aspen's annual "kickoff to summer," this year's event takes place June 10-12, 2005 and we are looking forward to another successful year. To honor Food & Wine Magazine's longstanding commitment to the Aspen community, we would like to request council's special consideration in allowing the Food & Wine Magazine Classic in Aspen to place lamp post banners on Main Street and in the commercial core on all available brackets. Council approved this request last year and we truly appreciate their consideration in allowing us to do. so again. We do understand that the city's current policy allows placement for significant anniversaries only. Given Food & Wine's consistent powerful and positive economic impact on our community, we are asking for special consideration to this policy. Council's approval for the past few years of the X-Garnes and World Cup banners for events not taking place on significant anniversary years has demonstrated flexibility and support by the City for these important events. We would like to ask council to do the same for one of the community's long-standing favorite events, the 23'" Annual Food & Wine Magazine Classic in Aspen. According to the Jan. 23, 2004 edition of the Denver Post, The Food and Wine Magazine Classic event generates the highest economic impact to the Aspen community. With only 5,000 attendees, the Classic brings an estimated $15-$20 million in economic impact surpassing the X Garnes which estimates a total of $10-$15 million with 50,000 attendees. The Classic brings an educated and affluent attendee who loves Aspen and returns year after year for the experience. Ninety-five percent of participants say the Classic exceeds or meets their expectations. The average stay is five days; the average daily expenditure on food alone is more than $250; and the average household income is $454,000. This event clearly attracts the perfect demographic for the Aspen experience. We do respect council's efforts to develop a reasonable policy on these lamp post banners. Our request is to place tasteful and subtle banners throughout the commercial core and along Main Street that will enhance the Classic in Aspen experience. We appreciate your consideration in these matters. Please help us to continue to support the Food and Wine Magazine Classic in Aspen.
