regulations regarding the placement of certain signs in order to promote its citizens'

management program, including changes in the parties responsible for
administering the program, the process and method of collecting fees, the sharing
of fees among various city agencies and other organizations, the rules for
distributing, managing and when necessary, the disposal of signs, and the particular
locations in which the program is targeted for greatest effect; and
