Rules for County Sponsorships and Asset Use

(a) The County shall not relinquish any aspect of the County’s right to direct, manage, and control a County asset. (b) Except as required by law or expressly established by an affirmative action by the council, sponsorship shall not convey upon any person the right to access or use a County asset for any purpose other than the intended and authorized governmental purpose or service. (c) Sponsorships shall not be deemed to constitute an endorsement of the sponsor or its services and products, or create any proprietary interest of the sponsor in the County or the County assets. (d) The sponsorship must not confer a personal benefit, directly or indirectly, to any particular County officer or employee. (e) The sponsorship must not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, including gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, ancestry, national origin, or disability. (f) Sponsors shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the County, its officers, agents, and employees against all liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from the acts or omissions of the sponsor, its directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, in connection with the sponsorship and the sponsorship agreement.
