This ordinance authorizes the Mayor and Corporation Secretary to execute an Amended Settlement Agreement that modifies a 1994 settlement agreement concerning the City's billboard regulations. The original agreement was between the City, B&B Advertising Company, and Capsigns, Inc. (now Scenic Jacksonville, Inc.). This amendment, stemming from a lawsuit filed by Scenic Jacksonville against B&B and Outfront Media, LLC (which acquired B&B's billboards), aims to resolve disputes related to the sale and future rights of certain billboards.

Key modifications include:

• Removal of Billboards: Outfront Media, LLC will remove three specific billboards (listed on Appendix B) within 90 days of the agreement's effective date. The tags, permits, and licenses for these removed billboards will be transferred to Scenic Jacksonville. Deed restrictions will be placed on properties where these billboards were located to prevent future billboard construction.
• Elimination of Transfer Prohibition: A clause from a 2019 modification that prohibited the future transfer of certain billboards by B&B is eliminated. This allows Outfront Media to transfer the remaining billboards (not listed on Appendix B) to third parties, provided those parties agree to the terms of this agreement.
• City Council Approval: The agreement is contingent on City Council approval by March 31, 2026. The Office of General Counsel (OGC) prepared the agreement, and Tiffiny Douglas Pinkstaff from OGC will provide oversight. The City Council has reviewed and approved the ordinance through various committees.

This agreement will result in the removal of three billboards and modifies regulations regarding the transfer of other billboards. Residents may see changes in the visual landscape related to billboards in specific locations.
