RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve a five-year agreement with SunLine Transit Agency for Bus Shelter Advertising and Maintenance.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The SunLine Transit Agency is a governmental agency composed of the nine cities of the Coachella Valley and Riverside County that provides a safe, reliable and non-polluting mode of public transportation.
SunLine's installation and maintenance of bus shelters in the City provides great benefit to citizens and visitors alike by providing clean sheltered places for travelers to wait for public transportation services. The placement of shelters within the City also provides an amenity of great benefit to the elderly and to senior citizens within the City.
SunLine owns certain advertising bus shelters within the City. Revenue from advertising enables SunLine to install additional shelters as a transit amenity at no cost to the general public. Advertising revenue also pays for the maintenance of shelters and for additional transit services at no cost to the public.
In August of 2007, the Council approved an agreement between the City of Cathedral City and SunLine Transit Agency Concerning Advertising Installation and Maintenance Related to Bus Shelters for a period of five (5) years, plus a five (5) year option to extend.
DISCUSSION:
The current agreement between SunLine and Cathedral City has expired. SunLine is proposing that the City Council approve a five-year agreement between SunLine Transit Agency and the City of Cathedral City concerning advertising, installation and maintenance related to bus shelters within the City. The proposed agreement has only minor changes that are in Section III and are related to the term of the agreement and adding a termination clause and are as follows:
3.01 The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of five (5) years commencing on the date first ascribed above.
3.01 Either party may terminate this agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. In the event this Agreement is terminated, the City may require SunLine to remove any or all paid advertisements from SunLine bus shelters within the City after the expiration or termination of any contracts between SunLine and third parties for such advertisements. All SunLine bus shelters that were installed with appropriate City permits and approvals shall be allowed to remain in place despite the termination of this Agreement.
A copy of the proposed Agreement is attached for your review as well and the Agreement that was approved in 2007.
