Roseville Public Works and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: December 16, 2004 Item No: 6 Item Description: Transit Shelter Program Recommendation (Continued) Background: Earlier this year staff recommended to the City Council that additional proposals be sought for a transit shelter provider, as a comparison to the proposal of Outdoor Promotions Inc. Staff has been working with Transtop Inc. of Minneapolis as to their interest in a fi'anchise to locate advertising transit shelters in the City of Roseville. We have had considerable dialogue with them regarding their concerns in meeting the ten11S of the Roseville ordinance. Weare looking for a recommendation as to which company appears in the best interest of the City. We presented Transtop's proposal to you at your November meeting. They have since revised their proposal based on the feedback they received from the Commission and staff. Weare including their revised proposal in your packet for your review, as well as the proposal [rom Outdoor Promotions that we received earlier this year. Weare also including the ordinance from city code allowing transit shelters in the right-of-way for your comparison of the proposals to the intent of the ordinance. We believe the Outdoor Promotions proposal meets the intent of the ordinance as the ordinance was fashioned after their shelter program to some degree. The Transtop proposal is not in granting ordinance fon11 at this time. We believe their most recent proposal in ternlS of maintenance meets the intent ofthe ordinance. We have clarified the basis for the franchise fee being a percentage of the gross advertising revenue and not net advertising revenue, as stated in the most recent proposaL Staff Recommendation: The staff concern regarding Outdoor Promotions' proposal centers around their ability to establish themselves in this market. As stated above, we believe their program meets the intent ofRoseville's ordinance. Staff concerns relating to Transtop's proposal is centered around their willingness to meet the maintenance intent of our ordinance. We would not recommend that trash receptacles be removed after first occurrence of vandalism or fire.
