General Manager/CEO to enter into an agreement with Sand City for transit
services and shelters. Sand City would split the cost of repainting the
shelters at the Edgewater Transit Exchange and make an annual contribution of
$25,000 to MST with a 3% annual escalator. This would cover half the annual
cost of shelter maintenance. Further, ownership of the shelters would be
transferred to MST.
