Security Cameras - IFB
The Student Government Association at UWSP recently
presented a referendum question to the student body in regard to implementation of a late night bus program. The
referendum passed and the students would like to pursue an agreement with Stevens Point Transit to develop and
implement the program in 2009. The students will pay the entire local share cost of the program.
Security Cameras will need to be installed prior to program start up. Manager Lemke has secured a 5311 federal
capital grant for 80% of the cost of the security cameras. The city and the university will split the local share
cost of the project. Maximum cost to the city will be $9,000. Cameras will not be purchased until an agreement
is in place.
Elbert Rackow moved to authorize the Transit Manager to move forward with the preparations for the late night bus
service and move forward with the purchase and installation of security cameras on all main line fixed route buses.
Bob Woehr seconded. Ayes all; Nays none; Motion carried.
