(FMG) for bus shelter advertising and maintenance services. The agreement allows <br />FMG to sell advertisements on City-owned bus shelters throughout the City while <br />sharing advertising revenue with the City and performing routine bus stop maintainance, <br />includingtrash removal and the cleaning of bus stop amenities. To ensure FMG does <br />not display advertisements that contain unacceptable content (lewd, profane, obsence, <br />or indecent material), a comprehensive list of prohibitions and restrictions was included <br />in the agreement. <br />Recently, staff identified that certain provisions within the restrictions in the agreement <br />may be overly vague or otherwise untenable in practice. To avoid potential legal <br />conflicts and still ensure public decency of advertisements on City owned bus shelters, <br />staff recommends amending the existing agreement (Exhibit 1). <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBIT(S): <br />1. Amendment to Agreement with Focus Media Group, Inc.
