Attachment E <br />� � <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: November 30, 2015 <br />Item No.: <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Transit Shelter Franchise Discussion <br />1 BACKGROUND <br />z In April of 2005 the Roseville City Council adopted Ordinance No.1317 Granting a Non - <br />3 Exclusive Transit Stop Shelter Franchise to Transtop Minnesota, Inc. subject to the terms, <br />a conditions and requirements of Chapter 1207 of the Roseville City Code (see Attachment A). <br />5 This franchise agreement together with Chapter 1207 of the City Code, provides for the right for <br />o the franchisee to erect and maintain transit shelters at several locations within the City of <br />7 Roseville. The 20 locations were recommended by the Public Works, Environment, and <br />a Transportation Commission in 2005 and were approved by the City Council at the same time the <br />9 franchise was granted. The agreement established a ten year term with two five year extension <br />10 options. <br />11 Since that time, Transtop Minnesota, Inc., has been purchased by CBS Outdoors and then this <br />12 division was spun off into a separate company, OutFront Media. The franchise agreement has <br />13 remained valid through this transition and the responsible company has kept up with the required <br />14 maintenance. <br />15 For the past ten years this arrangement has worked relatively well, and the City has received <br />16 several thousand dollars per year in additional revenue as stipulated in the franchise agreement. <br />n There have been times where the City has had to notify the franchisee of required maintenance <br />18 after receiving complaints from the public, but the response time was generally satisfactory. As <br />19 the term of the franchise was nearing expiration, the City did not have reasons to deny an <br />20 extension as provided in the franchise agreement. <br />21 Earlier this year, OutFront Media lost business in adjacent Cities for similar services and <br />zz therefore began a discussion with the City about the possibility of not extending the agreement. <br />23 The discussions seemed to be heading towards a "trial' extension whereby OutFront would <br />za attempt to perform the required maintenance with a smaller work force, but recently they have <br />zs given formal notice that they will not be extending the franchise agreement and are therefore <br />zs looking for a resolution to the transfer of ownership for the transit shelters. <br />21 OutFront has offered the shelters to us at a purchase price of $1000 per shelter. For the 20 <br />za shelters that would be $20,000. If we were to purchase the shelters out right the City would need <br />29 to identify a funding mechanism to pay for the ongoing maintenance of the shelters, including <br />so snow removal, trash pick-up, general cleaning, and structure maintenance. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
