REPORT:
ACA Guzzo read the title of the foregoing resolution into the record.
Senator Garcia inquired about the bus passenger shelter contract and expressed concern about the vendor, Outfront Media Group, LLC, noting that the company already held a contract with the County yet had returned to request additional funding. He asked whether County dollars would be used to build the shelters and sought an explanation of how the arrangement worked, including how advertising revenue was divided between the vendor and the County. He also asked how the proposed resolution differed from the existing agreement.
Ms. Miller explained that the County funded the installation and maintenance of the bus shelters, while the vendor placed advertising on them, and that the County received revenue from that advertising.
Senator Garcia asked what percentage of the advertising revenue the County received.
Ms. Miller responded that she did not have the exact figures on hand and would have her team provide them.
Senator Garcia stated that he was not yet fully comfortable with the resolution and preferred to continue the discussion before the item reached the Board.
Chairman Gilbert III asked whether the vendor or the County was responsible for maintaining the shelters.
Ms. Miller clarified that, under the contract, the vendor was responsible for cleaning the shelters and removing trash.
Chairman Gilbert III characterized the division as the vendor handling cleanliness while the County remained responsible for the physical structure of the shelters.
Vice Chairwoman Regalado observed that the County's advertising rules for bus benches and shelters were more restrictive than those of other municipalities, noting that the prior administration had adopted a number of controversial limitations on the types of advertisements allowed. She suggested that the Board revisit those rules to identify opportunities to generate additional revenue, particularly as the County approached its projected transit funding shortfall. She noted that the County did not permit political advertising, described that prohibition as a significant source of forgone revenue, and recommended reconsidering it as part of a broader effort to monetize the assets.
Commissioner Bermudez stated that he was not opposed to political advertising but wanted to ensure that the vendor followed the County's rules. He recalled that, during his own campaign, false advertising had been placed on County buses, and that the vendor had argued at the time that no rules governed such content. He asked Ms. Miller to ensure that the company, which handled advertising on both the bus benches and the buses, complied with the recently adopted ordinance on political advertising.
Chairman Gilbert III clarified that it was the current Board, not a prior one, that had established the rules prohibiting political advertising on bus benches. He stated that he was comfortable enforcing the existing ordinance but was not inclined to place the broader advertising discussion on the committee's agenda, adding that such a discussion belonged before the Board. He cautioned his colleagues to be careful about regulating which speech was permitted on County assets, citing the legal difficulties other municipalities had faced and his wish to avoid similar problems.
In response to Commissioner Bastien's question about the timeline for installing the benches and shelters, Ms. Miller explained that the agreement was a multi-year contract and that deployment of all the new assets would take several years. She did not have the specific schedule available and committed to following up with the details.
Chairman Gilbert III asked that the follow-up to Commissioner Bastien include a breakdown of projected completion dates for the areas of specific need within her district, District 2.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the committee proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

ADJOURNMENT

REPORT:
At the close of the meeting, Commissioner Regalado expressed concern that the Appropriations Committee had not met in approximately three months and that the delay could affect the County's budget planning. Referencing the ongoing discussion of the transit funding shortfall, she requested that the transit portion of the budget be taken up at the committee's next meeting so that it would not be lost within a broader discussion.
Chairman Gilbert III indicated that he had no objection and asked Commissioner Regalado to prepare a discussion item and submit it, noting that the Board Chairman would still need to set it on the agenda.
Seeing no further business come before the Transportation Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 9:34 a.m.
