SEC. 67.29-3.
§ 67.29-3
Future city contracts with advertising space providers must be public records and include protections for advertisers: the provider cannot remove or deface ads without notifying both the advertiser and city, and if ads are vandalized, the advertiser gets the option to replace them. All requests to remove or alter ads must be in writing and made public.
When the city makes new deals with companies that manage advertising space, those agreements have to be public. The ad-space company cannot remove or damage ads without first telling the advertiser and getting permission. If someone damages or vandalizes an ad, the company must tell both the city and advertiser in writing, and let the advertiser fix or replace it. Whenever a city official or the ad-space company asks to remove or change an ad, that request must be in writing and available to the public.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'remove or deface or otherwise interfere with' could be consolidated into a single clear term like 'remove or alter' for readability without losing meaning.
- Complex:The section mixes multiple obligations (contractual requirements, notice procedures, advertiser rights, and public-record rules) in a single paragraph, making it harder to parse what applies to whom and when.
