MEETING DETAILS When Monday, October 28th at 7:00 PM Where                          In-Person: City Hall Council Chambers                               9770 Culver City, CA 90232

The City Council will consider an interactive digital kiosk program with commercial advertising, along City sidewalks and public right-of-ways at the October 28th regularly scheduled City Council meeting. 

Since 2021, the City Council has discussed a potential interactive digital kiosk program in the public right of way that would provide for community information such as wayfinding, special events, business directories, cultural and art assets, and emergency alerts among other things. One component of the potential program would include commercial advertising as a means to fund the kiosk infrastructure, installation and maintenance as well as provide an additional revenue to the City.

In June 2024, the City Council approved a Zoning Code Amendment that permits digital kiosks in the public right-of way for the purposes of providing public information selected by the City, including commercial advertising, and in July 2024, a  Request for Proposal (RFP) for potential vendors was issued. 

The RFP requested information from qualified vendors regarding, the design, potential quantity and siting of kiosks, infrastructure, installation, operation, maintenance, use, accessibility, financing, public outreach, successful case studies, advertising strategy, respondent qualifications, technology, and additional information related to the kiosks. The RFP also requested a proposed cost/advertising revenue sharing program that provides for the kiosk’s infrastructure, installation, utilities costs, and on-going maintenance at no cost to City.

On October 28^th, the City Council will consider two proposals received in response to the RFP and provide direction to staff regarding furthering a potential program.
