EXHIBIT C
B city of Denton Sponsorship Guidelines
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the guidelines is to provide requirements for the evaluation, administration, and
acceptance of Sponsorship requests received by the City of Denton for community events.
II, GENERAI I OVERVIEW
The City allocates funds annually for the purpose of providing support to non-profit and civic-minded
programs and organizations, which further a charitable cause, economic or community growth, or
serve a public interest. The City provides a combination of cash in consideration of sponsorshiprequests and in-kinds services and resources. The distribution of in-kind services and resources are
leveraged annually through an application process in accordance to this guide and is based on annual
budgetary allocations.
This guide serves to implement best practices to ensure impartial decisions are made
in consideration of sponsorship applications and agreements.
The guide also serves to help maintain the City’s Core Values and vision that Denton is a memorable
destination and a community of opportunities that fosters extraordinary quality services and
collaboration relative to co-sponsorship agreements.
The guide does not apply to the allocation or distribution of cash, grants, and/or HOT Funds.
The City reserves the right to decline any request for community event sponsorship if deemed not to be
in the best interest of the City, or if acceptance would create a conflict of interest for the City. The Beeuse of park facilities for a non-profit organization’s meeting requests is not applicable to
this policy, but rather subject to the City Policy 500.06; Use of City Facilities and Meeting Rooms.
III. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
In the event of conflict between the guidelines and other City policies, this guideline will prevail
pending proper approvals. Denton City Council, at its discretion, may grant variances to this policy.
City staff is responsible for the initial assessment of requests that are received in the form of an
application. In accordance with the guidelines, sponsorship requests will only be considered for events
and/or organizations hosting events that meet the eligibility criteria listed below. City staff will seek
consultation with appropriate City stakeholders (e.g. City Legal, Finance Department), as needed.

Parties agreed to: Tracey Long, Rosa Rios
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom ofthis document
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign ’Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
