It is recommended that City Council authorize the expenditure of $17,567 to
purchase 26 trash receptacles and two bus benches from Wausau Tile to
upgrade the City's existing bus stops and to improve another at the corner of
Foothill Boulevard and Rockvale Avenue.
BACKGROUND
An application was submitted and has been approved by Foothill Transit to
reimburse the City for these expenses with funds available from their Bus Stop
Enhancement Program. This is a continuation of the bus stop improvement
program the City started in January 16, 2001 when it entered into an
agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor Advertising. The equipment is being
purchased from Wausau Tile to match these existing items.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is minimal impact to the General Fund in that construction of a concrete
pad by the Public Works Department at one of the sites will be required.
Proposition C Transportation funds will be used to fund the initial purchase of
the items with subsequent reimbursement by Foothill Transit.
