Recreation Facility Publication Distribution License Agreement

Summary

The City of Fort Collins Recreation Department has established requirements and standards for the placement of all free publications ("magazines, periodicals, newsletters, newspapers") in City of Fort Collins Recreation Facilities.

The City of Fort Collins Recreation Department has permitted City-related and unrelated organizations to distribute free publications in Facilities without regulation. As a result, Recreation facilities have become overwhelmed with numerous publications. Publications often pile up and create an unsafe, unkempt and unsightly environment.

The City of Fort Collins Recreation Department will provide publication distribution racks in appropriate locations in Recreation Facilities. No non-City related publications may be distributed through means other than the designated distribution racks. All distributors wishing to distribute publications in Recreation Facilities must enter into a license agreement with the Recreation Department. If the distributor fails to execute a license agreement for distribution racks or is found to be in default the license agreement, the distributor will be contacted and the license agreement will be revoked or voided.
