SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance authorizes the city’s granting of an easement and right of access to TLC Properties, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, for a potential new billboard on city-owned property located underneath the I-75 bridge on the northern bank of the Maumee River.

By granting this easement, TLC Properties is willing to settle this matter without necessitating a jury trial on the merits.
