RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the recommended revisions to the City Council policies and approve the new City of Santa Clarita Business Sponsorship Program policy.

BACKGROUND
City of Santa Clarita (City) administrative policies and procedures are intended as a meaningful working device for the compilation of administrative rules and regulations, procedures, and other policy statements that are needed for the effective functioning of all City departments. The administrative policies are separated into eight sections: Legislative Relations, Administration, Human Resources, Health and Safety, Finance, Purchasing, Budget, and Library.
The objective of the policies is to minimize doubt, confusion, and inconsistency in the performance of City duties. These policies are "living" documents and, as such, are to be amended, changed, and altered as conditions and circumstances warrant. The policies serve as a comprehensive guide for administrative action and provide a framework for the discharge of delegated authorities and assigned responsibilities.
The previous comprehensive review of all policies was completed in October 2020. At the conclusion of the 2022 comprehensive review, staff recommends actions as stated below.
New Policy
• I-16 City of Santa Clarita Business Sponsorship Program The current City of Santa Clarita Business Sponsorship Program (Program) provides an innovative and integrated marketing solution for businesses, centered on high impact City
events, facilities, and programs. A new policy is being proposed to outline the goals of the existing Program, while additionally defining and establishing a set of procedures to be followed for the execution of various types of sponsorship agreements. This includes facility naming rights, which would be subject to approval by the City Council.
