HEARING FOR A LEASE OF CITY PROPERTY TO LAMAR ADVERTISING
COMPANY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A DIGITAL BILLBOARD

WHEREAS, on February 11, 2025, the City Council discussed issues related to a
proposed digital billboard on City property along U.S. Hwy. 30 near the Hunziker Youth
Sports Complex. The proposed billboard would replace two standard billboards located

for a period exceeding three years requires the City Council to hold a public hearing prior
to approval.

Iowa, that setting September 23, 2025, as the date of public hearing for a lease of City
property to Lamar Advertising Company for the installation of a digital billboard is hereby
