Duration

The signs shall be reserved for no less than one week and for no more than two weeks, unless staff determines availability exists.

Message Fees

Eligible community based organizations will be charged $25 per week/per sign. Payment must be received with the application. 

The Village of Carpentersville and Village of East Dundee fees will be waived for the Bonnie Dundee message sign due to the contributions made toward the construction of the message sign by each agency.

If the Park District cancels or removes a message during its display period, the fee will not be refunded.

Cancellations

Cancellations of confirmed reservations must be made two weeks prior to the scheduled date of sign use in order to receive a refund of the fee. No other refunds will be considered.

The organization making the request is responsible for contacting the Dundee Township Park District should the event be cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled.

Right to Edit/Right to Refusal 

The Dundee Township Park District has the authority to edit text of the signage being requested if it deems necessary for reasons including but not limited to, availability of space and layout concerns. 

Due to the size limitations of the sign, messages are restricted to 72 characters/spaces. Submitted messages may therefore have to be abbreviated in order to fit. Park District staff may also have to make spelling and grammatical corrections.

The Dundee Township Park District reserves the right to refuse to honor any application request if it is deemed inappropriate, inflammatory, in conflict with the separation of church and state, or not within the general interest of the Dundee Township Park District community and its values as determined by the Park Board or duly appointed representative.

In the event an application is rejected, payment will be refunded.

Emergency Notifications

In the case of an emergency, the sign will be updated to only display info related to the emergency. Once the emergency has been lifted, the sign will resume displaying the scheduled messages.

Revocability 

The Dundee Township Park District reserves the right to revoke the use of the community events sign at any time with reason to the applicant.
