�� Excerpt from Public Works and Transportation Commission minutes of Tuesday, November 23,2004: "7. Transit ShelterProgram Recommendation Connie and Jason Barry gave a presentation on who they are and the transit shelter services they provide. Member Wilke asked if any of their shelters were heated. Ms. Barry said no. Member Wilke asked Duane Schwartz what city code was for transit stop signage. Schwartz said it correspondedwith what Transtop was proposing. Member Wilke asked about city code for trash pickup. Schwartz said ordinance requires twice weekly pickup. Member Wilke asked about the right-of-way situation. Schwartz said that either company would have to submit a site plan for each site and would have to work out all the details themselves. Member Willenbring asked if Transtop and Outdoor Promotions were competing against each other for sites or would they share the same sites. Schwartz said we would only allow one shelter per site. A comparison of the two companies was supplied to the Commission. Member Anderson asked about Transtop's different maintenance plans. Schwartz went through the entire comparison handout. Member Marasteanu asked why the City started negotiating with Outdoor Promotions, an out-of-statecompany, and not Transtop, which is a local company. Schwartz said Outdoor Promotions approached the City themselves and started the process. Connie Barry said that as soon as they found out about Roseville's interest, they became involved. Gary Young from Outdoor Promotions spoke about his company's desire to place shelters in Roseville. Member Wilke asked him to elaborate on their maintenance program. Member Wilke said he has concerns about trash receptacles at the shelters. He said a lot of fire calls in St. Paul are to fires in trash bins at bus shelters, and he doesn't want this to be a problem in Roseville. Member Anderson said he wanted more time to think about the two proposals to decide what is best for the city. Page 1 of 2
