Impact analysis
About $30,000 per year, paid by the Rohnert Park Foundation rather than the city's general fund.
Local artists, students, and residents who get more attractive, less graffiti-prone streetscapes.
The existing Armed Forces banner program may need to adapt to new standards — one speaker asked it be grandfathered in.
