FROM: Haley Robinson, Director of Public Affairs
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN PUEBLO,
A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND LAMAR
ADVERTISING OF COLORADO SPRINGS, LLC, FOR PUBLIC -
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP SIGNS AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is a proposed Ordinance approving and authorizing the Mayor to sign an
agreement to license City -owned land to Lamar for the construction of electronic
variable message public -private partnership signage. Under the agreement, Lamar shall
remit a portion of its revenue from the operation of the signs to the City and provide the
City with opportunities to use the signage for City -related messaging.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
In October 2025, Council approved Ordinance No. 11071, amending Chapter 10 of Title
XVII, Pueblo Municipal Code, to allow for the placement of electronic variable
messaging off -premises signage on City -owned land.
BACKGROUND:
For the initial phase of construction, the City of Pueblo and Lamar anticipate four
structures with two digital panels on each structure for a total of eight panels. The City
is anticipating a 25% revenue share with an approximate 12-18 month ramp -up period
for those revenue levels to be realized once inventory is established and contract
occupancy increases for Lamar. This stabilization would then increase the revenue
share the City could anticipate.
Additionally, the City is able to utilize space during advertising periods when availability
allows. The City plans to utilize availability for public outreach related to City
messaging, large scale announcements, such as the bi-annual clean up event, or other
City related business for promotional needs. For the initial -ramp up phase, the
Docusign Envelope ID: C338F2C1-5C3B-88F2-83CC-612C6D6418A2
availability to the City will be significant and then will decrease because more
advertisers occupy the space. The as -available advertising space is helpful because the
value of the space is approximately $3,500 per advertising period with 13 periods per
year. This allows for marketing dollars for the City to be spent elsewhere or for
campaigns by the City of Pueblo to be more publicly available at a lower cost when
availability allows.
Regardless of paid occupancy, each panel would also have a dedicated emergency
messaging slot available for Amber Alerts and other qualifying emergency
communications.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Neither City staff nor Lamar Advertising have prepared any official revenue forecasts for
this partnership. City revenue will depend on the number of sign site locations and
utilization.
The Agreement would provide a 25% revenue share to the City. Lamar estimates an
approximate 12-18 month ramp -up period for steady revenue levels to be realized once
inventory is established and contract occupancy increases for Lamar. The current
valued space is $3,500 per advertising period with 13 period per year. True projections
are unavailable until locations are approved and the display sizes are approved, as
revenue potential varies according to the valued location.
The initial four locations with eight panels total provide opportunity for revenue sharing
that could eventually be increased. All site locations, including any additional locations
beyond the initial four, would require approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Any additional site locations would retain the 25% contract revenue share and increase
revenue opportunities for the City of Pueblo.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may decline to enter this agreement. There are currently no alternative
proposals for electronic variable messaging signage partnerships.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.

thirty (30) days thereafter.
D. Failure to Exercise. If Licensee fails to exercise its ROFR within the time provided, Licensor
may enter into an agreement with the third party on terms no more favorable to the third party
than those offered to Licensee. If such third -party agreement is not executed within one
hundred eighty (180) days, Licensee's ROFR shall be reinstated for that specific property.
