Assumptions and agreements
The City offers sponsorship opportunities as an important tool to enhance and improve the arts for the citizens and visitors of Lenexa while helping to offset the costs of the art events. In addition, these sponsorships provide opportunities for community involvement by local businesses who desire to support and be associated with City programs and events. Prior to submitting a proposal, interested individuals or entities are advised to read the City Sponsorship Policy, Governing Body Policy Number GBGen-1, in its entirety. A copy of the City Sponsorship Policy can be found at Lenexa.com/Sponsorships. The City is not obligated to review any proposal submitted and may accept or reject any proposal which does not meet the criteria of the City Sponsorship Policy.
Sponsors must execute the City’s standard form sponsorship agreement and said agreement must be approved by the Lenexa Governing Body, or as required by policy, before sponsorship is accepted. The contract states it shall not be assigned, transferred, or sold, or services sublet to any other person, in whole or part, by the Sponsor, except with the express written consent of the City.
Sponsors must agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its employees and agents from any and all loss, claims, settlements, or judgments for any injury or damage whatsoever including those for personal injury, bodily injury, property damage, and/or death arising out of the negligence of other actionable fault of Sponsor, its affiliates, subsidiaries, subcontractors, agents, servants, and/or employees in the performance of this Agreement. Sponsors will be required to secure and maintain throughout the duration of the Sponsorship term insurance, as stated in the City's standard form sponsorship agreement.
