Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Mr. St. John said Councilmember Aldama's Council item of special interest regarded the
regulation of newspaper racks.
Mr. Boling presented background information regarding newspaper dispensers and a draft
ordinance.
Councilmember Turner asked if there was communication with the companies that owned the
dispensers or would there be communication before the ordinance was brought back for
approval.
Mr. Boling said staff did not contact the companies because the dispensers did not contain
contact information.
Councilmember Aldama asked if freedom of speech also applied to the apartment guide
dispensers.

Mr. Boling said it did apply.
Councilmember Aldama thanked staff for bringing the item forward and was in support of an
enforcement ordinance.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the City was compelled to allow the dispensers on City
property.
Mr. Boling said it was. The regulations would apply to placement and condition but would not
prohibit dispensers.
Councilmember Clark asked what improvements could be expected with the proposed
ordinance.
Mr. Boling said after proper notification, the unused dispensers would be removed.
Councilmember Clark asked what the criteria was for removing a box and the provisions for the
City to remove the box.
Mr. Boling said after thirty days, the City had the right to remove the unused dispenser. The
City would remove it and after an additional thirty days, if the dispenser was not claimed, it
would be discarded.
Councilmember Clark supported moving forward.
Vice Mayor Hugh confirmed consensus to proceed with the proposed ordinance.
