""I ask you for your full support," Councilmember Noel Gallo said at Tuesday's meeting. "I was here from the very beginning when we brought Becker Boards to Oakland, and I will tell you my experience has been an extremely positive one.""
"According to the legislation, the deal is worth $35 million, plus more than $13 million in free advertising to local organizations. Becker has also promised it will never advertise firearms on its billboards."
The Oakland City Council is set to approve a contract allowing Becker Boards, LLC to build five new billboards, aiming to alleviate the city's budget issues. The proposal includes a significant financial deal worth $35 million, alongside $13 million in advertising for local organizations. Becker will pay an upfront fee of $2.3 million and additional yearly payments over a 31-year term while ensuring no firearm advertisements. The deal is particularly crucial as Oakland tackles a projected $265 million budget deficit over the next two years.
