Application Process

(1) Any business that wishes to participate in the Logo Sign Program shall complete and submit a signed application to the contractor. (2) A business may qualify to provide more than one motorist service under the Logo Sign Program, provided it meets all the requirements of these rules. If a business wishes to have a separate logo sign for each motorist service it provides, the business must submit a separate signed application for each motorist service. (3) If an application is approved, the contractor shall issue a “Notice of Eligibility.” A “Notice of Eligibility” shall be issued regardless of the availability of space on the background sign panel for which the business has applied. (4) The “Notice of Eligibility” will be kept on file by the contractor for three (3) years from the date it is issued. (5) Should the contractor deny an application, the contractor shall provide by certified mail or hand delivery (and obtain a signed receipt) a “Notice of Non-Eligibility” to the business, outlining the facts that warranted the denial. (6) A business may be bumped from a sign at the end of its existing contract. In order to bump a business, the new business must submit an application at least sixty (60) days prior to the contract end date for the business that will be bumped. A new business that has a shorter eligibility distance than a business with a current sign may bump that business from the sign. However, a new food or attraction business that is fully qualified but with a longer eligibility distance may bump a business that is partially qualified but with a shorter eligibility distance. All other criteria contained in these rules shall apply.
