Newsracks play an integral role in every community. At CnTSOLunoNS we are sensitive to reasonable concerns and community standards regarding advertisements displayed on our INFORMATION CENTERS. CITY SOLUTIONS also recognizes that standards vary from community to community. For example, advertisements considered appropriate in certain areas of San Francisco or New York may be considered inappropriate in other areas of the country. Advertisements considered acceptable in tobacco producing areas of North Carolina or liquor -producing areas of Kentucky or Tennessee may be unacceptable in other areas of the country. Therefore, CITY Sol.U77oNs' advertising policy is based upon the specific standards of each community it serves. In Miami tobacco advertisements will be prohibited. In addition, CITY SOLUTIONS will accept no advertising which is misleading; sexually exploits minors; is legally obscene or overly suggestive; advocates or supports criminal activity; attacks or demeans the character, integrity, or standing of any organization or individual; or that is, in the opinion of CITY SOLUTIONS' management, morally reprehensible. Notwithstanding CITY SoLuvoNs' stated policies, CITY SOLU770NS will make no attempt to censor or restrict political speech. CITY SoLUI'IoNs supports the display of public service messages for worthy community causes by charging a reduced rate for such messages on a space available basis. During the Miami Demonstration Program, CITY SOLuuw will prioritize advertising for local merchants. WEST COAST OFFICE - P.O.

To accomplish this goal, CITY SOLUTIONS' advertising representatives are sensitive to particular community's standards in its solicitation and acceptance of advertising for display. Moreover, in every community, CITY SOLUTIONS convenes an advisory panel, comprised of concerned citizens and civic leaders who are informed and sensitive to the values of their community. This panel serves in an advisory capacity, assuring that no advertisement which will offend a segment of the community is allowed to proceed to display. While it is not always possible to please every individual, it is possible to assure that the community as a whole is not offended. In the event that CITY SOLUTIONS and its community based advertising panel accepts an advertisement which generates a legitimate complaint to the city, CITY SOLmomv will, within three business days, begin a review of the offending advertisement. This review, conducted by CITY SoLuHoNs staff, and the community based advertising .panel will consider the merits of the complaint. Should this process result in a decision that the complaint is valid, CITE' SOLUTIONS will remove all copies of said advertising in the city within 5 business days. Additionally, if the community based advertising panel determines that the advertising content is seriously objectionable on grounds which are reasonable and lawful CITE' SOLUTION. will remove the advertisement in question. Conversely, if this process results in allowing the advertisement to remain, then every effort will be made to properly and professionally explain the decision to the offended party, and maintain good corporate relations with all citizens.

Gimenez City Manager DATE : OCT - 9 L f FILE SUBJECT: Recommendation for Pilot Modular Newsrack Agreement REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City enter into an agreement(s) for private agencies to provide modular newsrack services on a pilot/trial basis for a period not to extend beyond one year which said service shall provide the City five percent (5%) of advertisement revenues on a monthly basis. The purpose of this coming back before the Commission is to agree upon the percentage of advertising revenues to be remitted to the City during the pilot project period. BACKGROUND: When the City passed the amended newsrack ordinance on April 26, 2001 (Ordinance No. 12053), it provided for the City to enter into a modular newsrack pilot program that is consistent with all of the provisions of the ordinance for newsracks [Section 54-262.(b)], but it did not provide for an amount to charge for the advertising. It is recommended that 5% would be a fair amount to charge for a one year pilot program in that the contractor would have to supply all the equipment and installation at no cost to the City for a one year period and because of the fact that prime locations would not be available in that regular newsracks occupy these spots. If it is found, after the pilot program, that modular newsracks are a viable alternative to single type newsracks, the City would pursue the appropriate vehicle for implementing a permanent modular newsrack program. 1 filo!
