14.01 POTENTIAL ADJUSTMENTS TO LICENSE FEE
On an annual basis, at the end of each twelve-month period of this Agreement's initial
term of sixty (60) months, MSI may request City approval to adjust the Sign Panel lease fee
amount. City has absolute discretion to grant or deny such request. Any proposed fee increase

Agreement shall also increase in an equal proportionate amount.
15.01 DEFAULT; TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR FOR CONVENIENCE
a) Default. If MSI fails to perform any of its material obligations under this
Agreement, such failure shall constitute a default. Not excluding other legitimate
reasons for declaring default, MSI shall be declared in default under this
Agreement if it does any of the following:
1) Fails to make any payment in full when due;
2) Fails to fully, timely and faithfully perform any of its material obligations
under this Agreement;
11
3) Fails to provide adequate assurance of performance under the "Right to
Assurance" section herein; or
4) Becomes insolvent or seeks relief under or is involuntarily brought under
the bankruptcy laws of the United States.
b) Termination for Cause. City reserves the right to enforce the performance of this
Agreement in any manner prescribed by law or deemed to be in the best interest
of City in the event of breach or default of this Agreement. City reserves the right
to terminate this Agreement for cause in the event MSI fails to perform in
accordance with this Agreement. If City terminates this Agreement for cause
before the end of the term stated herein, MSI agrees that all Kiosk Signs shall
remain in place, and that the Sign Panels and all receivables from the leasing of
the Sign Panels shall become the property of City. Further, MSI agrees to transfer
promptly all information related to the lease of the Sign Panels to City, including
but not limited to the original lease documents, an accounting of all open accounts
and all other relevant documents. Further, MSI's lease contracts with Builders
and/or Developers shall contain a clause which assigns the leases to City in the
event City gives notice of termination of this Agreement for breach or default by
MSI. Further, MSI must give notice to Builders and/or Developers who are
lessees, within thirty (30) days of City's notice of termination for breach or
default of this Agreement, and transfer all lease pre -payments, calculated from the
date of City's notice of termination. Further, MSI must give City information
related to the placement of Sign Panels, including but not limited to original Sign
Panel service documents and leases, accountings of all open accounts, and any
other relevant documents.
c) Termination of this Agreement for breach or default will occur as a result of a
single act of material default as well as for frequent, regular or repetitive defaults
that, taken together, would be considered a material default of this Agreement.
d) Failure by City to remove or abate any illegal signs in rights-of-way shall not be
deemed to be a breach or default of this Agreement.
e) Upon MSI's breach or default of this Agreement, the injury to City will be
uncertain and difficult to quantify. After City has given notice of breach or
default to MSI, MSI will pay City the amount of $75.00 per day as liquidated
damages until City is able to contract with another provider and such provider has
its similar program in place and fully operational. MSI expressly acknowledges
and agrees that the amount of $75.00 per day is reasonable considering the
difficulty of proving actual loss and the difficulty of finding another adequate
remedy, and agrees that the liquidated damages herein will function as a measure
of damages and not as a penalty.
12
f) Termination for Convenience. It is expressly acknowledged, understood, and
agreed by MSI that, at any time after the first anniversary of this Agreement, City
may terminate at will and for convenience this Agreement and the attendant
license by giving MSI ninety (90) days' written notice of termination. If such
termination at will and for convenience is effected by City, then and in that event
all Kiosk Signs and signage shall remain the property of MSI and shall be
removed by MSI within said ninety (90) day period. Any Kiosk Signs and signage
and portions thereof of every nature not removed within said period shall become
the unfettered property of City.
If, for reasons other than breach or default, MSI or City terminates this
Agreement by giving notice before the end of the term hereof, then and in that
event MSI shall remove all Kiosk Signs and Sign Panels, and such removal shall
occur within thirty (30) days of sending or receiving notice. Following removal
of Kiosk Signs, MSI shall return real property where Kiosk Signs had been placed
to its original condition. MSI shall return all lease pre -payments, calculated from
the date notice was given by MSI or City or the date of the end of the term of this
Agreement, to the Builder and/or Developer lessees or governmental entities.

Agreement (and any renewals thereof) expires, MSI shall, at no cost to City,
remove all Kiosk Signs that have not been purchased for exclusive use by City.
MSI shall complete removal and return real property where Kiosk Signs had been
placed to its original condition, and such shall be accomplished no later than thirty
(30) days following the expiration of this Agreement.
g)
16.01 NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an event
of default under this Agreement and prior to any right of City to declare an event of default or
exercise any remedy under this Agreement, MSI shall have the right to written notice of default
specifically stating the default claimed (referred to herein as the "Default Notice") and MSI shall
have the opportunity to cure such default or condition giving rise to City's right to declare a
default as hereafter stated: MSI shall have ten (10) business days to cure any default or
conditions specified in the Default Notice. Failure to cure the default within the time allotment
given shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach, City may terminate

Proposed Kiosk Sign Rental Pees
The monthly kiosk panel lease rate includes assistance with code enforcement. To emphasize MSI's direct
and open relationship as a consultant to the City of Round Rock, a schedule with projected revenue
earnings is included in Exhibit A, "Proposed Rate and Estimated Revenue Stream." Please note there are
additional lease rates shown on this schedule which are open to discussion.
The following are the key benefits that the City of Round Rock will receive:
• Increase the City's administration fee by 50%, from $10.00 per panel to $15.00 per panel, per
month.
• Design, construct and install new kiosk structures that are designed to reflect the City of Round
Rock's architectural and cultural heritage.
• Provide removal within the City limits and ETJ of illegal signs not in conformance with City
Codes. This allows the City's Code Enforcement staff to use its resources in a more efficient
manner and focus on issues larger than nuisance "bandit" signs or illegal off-site signs.
• Remit to the City its administration fee on a monthly, not quarterly basis, increasing the City's
monthly cash flow.
• Provide GPS mapping of kiosk locations to coordinate with the City's GIS system.
These benefits are of added value to the City, and beyond the scope of the current Agreement for Services
in place with the City's current provider.
MSI will provide interested parties with a marketing package which includes a letter and ordinance excerpts,
a list of locations, a map of locations, and a kiosk panel order form and agreement.
Given that the Round Rock Kiosk Directional. Signage program is an existing program, MSI agrees to waive
the art set-up and panel production fees for existing users. Any new homebuilders that choose to lease the
directional panels after the consummation of this agreement will incur these one-time fees.
All approved requests for new kiosk panels, panel repair and panel removal shall be in writing and shall be
completed by MSI within three working days of receipt of such notice.
MSI anticipates that all project elements will be done 100% in-house. Therefore, there will be no
subcontractors to manage. We will utilize a registered structural engineer to produce the structural
drawings including wind loads and breakaway calculations.
MSI will bear all costs associated with the design, fabrication/construction, installation, and maintenance of
the kiosk directional signage program. All accounting, billing, and collections will be performed by MSI.
No costs shall be passed on to the City of Round Rock.
EXHIBIT
Schedule fot Implementation - Moak Sign Work Flow Aiiatyais
The following work program will be finalized between MSI and the City of Round Rock. The following is
a brief description of the program elements. The implementation of the kiosk sign program's structures
. will require an overall timeline of 12 weeks.
Location Analysis (Weeks 1 and 2)
Given that the Round Rock Kiosk program is currently in effect, the map of current Locations will
be reviewed by MSI and City staff. MSI will provide recommendations as to the effectiveness of
these locations. Throughout the location analysis phase, public health and safety considerations
will take precedence over all other requirements. • Final sign locations will be subject to review and
approval by the Development Review Manager, Code Enforcement Officer.
Leasing/Permitting (Weeks 2 through 4)
Upon location approval, MSI will initiate the process of obtaining ground leases, encroachment
and building permits for those locations not currently part of the kiosk program.
Fabrication/Installation (Weeks 2 through 12)
Concurrent with the leasing/permitting phase, we will commence construction.
Marketing (on-going) (Weeks 2 through 6)
Concurrent with fabrication, upon acquiring ground leases and permits, all potential Kiosk panel
users will be contacted in a timely manner. This will provide ample time to ensure complete and
fair participation prior to commencement of Kiosk installation.
Marketing and leasing will be an ongoing process. A marketing packet will be prepared containing
price lists for set-up fees and leasing rates, along with the current map of locations and availability.
This packet will be sent to all builders at the time the Kiosk sign building permits are applied for
and after that on an as -required basis.
Adiilis ai tcativr uid lia s<Atclf.riO.ceiil re* _
MSI's approach to this program will be one of a professional consultant and partner with the City in the
implementation and administration of this program. The result will be a program, of which the City, its
citizens, the building community and MSI can be proud.
✓ Construction, installation, maintenance, repair and removal of Kiosk Sign Structures and Sign Panek at no cost to
the City.
MSI shall design, construct, install, and maintain/repair all of its kiosk structures and panels, in
house. There is no cost to the City of Round Rock, as these costs are recouped through the
administration and fee collection during the life of the kiosk program.
✓ Contracts with developers and homebuildersfor the placement of Sign Panels in a fair and equitable manner under
the guidelines of the City.
Concurrent with fabrication, upon acquiring ground leases and permits, all potential Kiosk panel
users will be contacted in a timely manner. This will provide ample time to ensure complete and
fair participation prior to commencement of Kiosk installation.
MSI's method of sign panel placement combines traffic safety with effective way -finding
strategies. In determining panel sequencing, top to bottom on the structures, Left turns will be at
the top. The next panel(s) will be right turns followed by straight ahead panels. This facilitates a
safe and orderly traffic flow.
By taking into consideration the current location of new home developments, the kiosk structures
will be located throughout the city in a manner that will provide plenty of opportunities for panel
placement. Since the City of Round Rock will continue to grow into the decades to come, future
kiosk locations will be identified, and planned for, as the need arises.
✓ Assistance to the City in determination of appropriate kcations for the Kiosk Sign Structures.
With extensive experience in way -finding strategies, MSI will develop an effective kiosk location
plan for the City of Round Rock. This plan will take into consideration the topography and
physical landscape when locating the kiosk structures. Again, safety is the primary determination
when developing the kiosk location plan.
✓ Procurement and maintenance of necessayground leases forpublic orprivate properties if necrssary.
Copies of the ground leases, when necessary, will be provided to the City of Round Rock as part
of the overall kiosk location analysis.
1 Attendance at meetings as necessary with Cid Staff, developers, and bomebuilders to coordinate the implementation
of the Kiosk Sign Program.
At MSI, we recognize the importance of maintaining open communication with all parties
involved in the kiosk program. In addition, to attending the meetings to discuss the kiosk
program, MSI provides, in writing, all pertinent changes to the City and the kiosk participants.
Ads iinistratiye and Proxedutes.�coutuiu
✓ Administration and maintenance of allleare or rental agreements for the Kiosk Sign Structures and Sign Panels.
MSI will provide the City of Round Rock with the following An up-to-date map of each kiosk
location with exact GPS coordinates, a roster of participants per location, kiosk panel order forms
received, and a status report of removed sign panels. These updates are typically provided on a
semi-annual basis.
✓ Provision to the City of Kiosk Sign Structures which exclusively contain Sign Panels which direct the public to City
and community facilities and properties and/or providing the City with Sign Panels on Kiosk Sign Structures
containing builder and developer Sign Panes, at no cost to the City.
MSI's Kiosk Directional Sign Program provides sign panels, and structures as needed, to be used
by the City for direction to public amenities like City offices, parks, and other facilities. Up to
20% of the total number of sign panels are allotted for municipal use.
In addition, MSI will comply with all requirements of the City's sign ordinances pertinent to kiosk signs.
Prior to installation of the signage, we will conduct a "walk-through" to ensure all signs meet sign ordinance
requirements.
All sign locations will be installed in the street side right-of-way or on private property with ground leases
secured by MSI.
MSI will implement a weekly:
✓ Inspection.
/ Installation of new blades and removal of those discontinuing service.
✓ Sign removal of unauthorized signs.
1 Maintenance program.
Maintenance and Service (ongoing)
Our goal is to dedicate a minimum of one full day each week to install new panels, remove old
panels and provide general required maintenance. As the structures age, repaints will be required.
In addition, we will allocate a minimum of 8 hours each Saturday and Sunday for the removal of all.
weekend directional signs, as well as providing a weekly report to the City Designee.
As additional structures are added to the kiosk sign program, more time will be allocated for
service, maintenance and enforcement.
Administration (ongoing)
The tasks of ongoing administration include: Invoicing and collections, program inventory, coordination of
new panel production, removal of old panels, and revisions to location map and list of available locations.
Additionally, all signs will be treated with a graffiti guard product. Graffiti removal will be initiated within
24 hours of notification.
.Gu 4eliriee for kiosk> tiui cation - :The `Tiis�x gle
In order to assure the safe placement of the kiosk structures, MSI uses the following guidelines in locating
the structures. The elevations and terrain of Round Rock's streets and boulevards will be taken into
consideration when placing the kiosk structures.

15.01 DEFAULT; TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR FOR CONVENIENCE
a) Default. If MSI fails to perform any of its material obligations under this
Agreement, such failure shall constitute a default. Not excluding other legitimate
reasons for declaring default, MSI shall be declared in default under this
Agreement if it does any of the following:
1) Fails to make any payment in full when due;
2) Fails to fully, timely and faithfully perform any of its material obligations
under this Agreement;
11
3) Fails to provide adequate assurance of performance under the "Right to
Assurance" section herein; or
4) Becomes insolvent or seeks relief under or is involuntarily brought under
the bankruptcy laws of the United States.
b) Termination for Cause. City reserves the right to enforce the performance of this
Agreement in any manner prescribed by law or deemed to be in the best interest
of City in the event of breach or default of this Agreement. City reserves the right
to terminate this Agreement for cause in the event MSI fails to perform in
accordance with this Agreement. If City terminates this Agreement for cause
before the end of the term stated herein, MSI agrees that all Kiosk Signs shall
remain in place, and that the Sign Panels and all receivables from the leasing of
the Sign Panels shall become the property of City. Further, MSI agrees to transfer
promptly all information related to the lease of the Sign Panels to City, including
but not limited to the original lease documents, an accounting of all open accounts
and all other relevant documents. Further, MSI's lease contracts with Builders
and/or Developers shall contain a clause which assigns the leases to City in the
event City gives notice of termination of this Agreement for breach or default by
MSI. Further, MSI must give notice to Builders and/or Developers who are
lessees, within thirty (30) days of City's notice of termination for breach or
default of this Agreement, and transfer all lease pre -payments, calculated from the
date of City's notice of termination. Further, MSI must give City information
related to the placement of Sign Panels, including but not limited to original Sign
Panel service documents and leases, accountings of all open accounts, and any
other relevant documents.
c) Termination of this Agreement for breach or default will occur as a result of a
single act of material default as well as for frequent, regular or repetitive defaults
that, taken together, would be considered a material default of this Agreement.
d) Failure by City to remove or abate any illegal signs in rights-of-way shall not be
deemed to be a breach or default of this Agreement.
e) Upon MSI's breach or default of this Agreement, the injury to City will be
uncertain and difficult to quantify. After City has given notice of breach or
default to MSI, MSI will pay City the amount of $75.00 per day as liquidated
damages until City is able to contract with another provider and such provider has
its similar program in place and fully operational. MSI expressly acknowledges
and agrees that the amount of $75.00 per day is reasonable considering the
difficulty of proving actual loss and the difficulty of finding another adequate
remedy, and agrees that the liquidated damages herein will function as a measure
of damages and not as a penalty.
12
f) Termination for Convenience. It is expressly acknowledged, understood, and
agreed by MSI that, at any time after the first anniversary of this Agreement, City
may terminate at will and for convenience this Agreement and the attendant
license by giving MSI ninety (90) days' written notice of termination. If such
termination at will and for convenience is effected by City, then and in that event
all Kiosk Signs and signage shall remain the property of MSI and shall be
removed by MSI within said ninety (90) day period. Any Kiosk Signs and signage
and portions thereof of every nature not removed within said period shall become
the unfettered property of City.
If, for reasons other than breach or default, MSI or City terminates this
Agreement by giving notice before the end of the term hereof, then and in that
event MSI shall remove all Kiosk Signs and Sign Panels, and such removal shall
occur within thirty (30) days of sending or receiving notice. Following removal
of Kiosk Signs, MSI shall return real property where Kiosk Signs had been placed
to its original condition. MSI shall return all lease pre -payments, calculated from
the date notice was given by MSI or City or the date of the end of the term of this
Agreement, to the Builder and/or Developer lessees or governmental entities.

Agreement (and any renewals thereof) expires, MSI shall, at no cost to City,
remove all Kiosk Signs that have not been purchased for exclusive use by City.
MSI shall complete removal and return real property where Kiosk Signs had been
placed to its original condition, and such shall be accomplished no later than thirty
(30) days following the expiration of this Agreement.
g)

of default under this Agreement and prior to any right of City to declare an event of default or
exercise any remedy under this Agreement, MSI shall have the right to written notice of default
specifically stating the default claimed (referred to herein as the "Default Notice") and MSI shall
have the opportunity to cure such default or condition giving rise to City's right to declare a
default as hereafter stated: MSI shall have ten (10) business days to cure any default or
conditions specified in the Default Notice. Failure to cure the default within the time allotment
given shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach, City may terminate

Proposed Kiosk Sign Rental Pees
The monthly kiosk panel lease rate includes assistance with code enforcement. To emphasize MSI's direct
and open relationship as a consultant to the City of Round Rock, a schedule with projected revenue
earnings is included in Exhibit A, "Proposed Rate and Estimated Revenue Stream." Please note there are
additional lease rates shown on this schedule which are open to discussion.
The following are the key benefits that the City of Round Rock will receive:
• Increase the City's administration fee by 50%, from $10.00 per panel to $15.00 per panel, per
month.
• Design, construct and install new kiosk structures that are designed to reflect the City of Round
Rock's architectural and cultural heritage.
• Provide removal within the City limits and ETJ of illegal signs not in conformance with City
Codes. This allows the City's Code Enforcement staff to use its resources in a more efficient
manner and focus on issues larger than nuisance "bandit" signs or illegal off-site signs.
• Remit to the City its administration fee on a monthly, not quarterly basis, increasing the City's
monthly cash flow.
• Provide GPS mapping of kiosk locations to coordinate with the City's GIS system.
These benefits are of added value to the City, and beyond the scope of the current Agreement for Services
in place with the City's current provider.
MSI will provide interested parties with a marketing package which includes a letter and ordinance excerpts,
a list of locations, a map of locations, and a kiosk panel order form and agreement.
Given that the Round Rock Kiosk Directional. Signage program is an existing program, MSI agrees to waive
the art set-up and panel production fees for existing users. Any new homebuilders that choose to lease the
directional panels after the consummation of this agreement will incur these one-time fees.
All approved requests for new kiosk panels, panel repair and panel removal shall be in writing and shall be
completed by MSI within three working days of receipt of such notice.
MSI anticipates that all project elements will be done 100% in-house. Therefore, there will be no
subcontractors to manage. We will utilize a registered structural engineer to produce the structural
drawings including wind loads and breakaway calculations.
MSI will bear all costs associated with the design, fabrication/construction, installation, and maintenance of
the kiosk directional signage program. All accounting, billing, and collections will be performed by MSI.
No costs shall be passed on to th City of Round Rock.

Schedule fot Implementation - Moak Sign Work Flow Analysis
The following work program will be finalized between MSI and the City of Round Rock. The following is
a brief description of the program elements. The implementation of the kiosk sign program's structures
will require an overall timeline of 12 weeks.
Location Analysis (Weeks 1 and 2)
Given that the Round Rock Kiosk program is currently in effect, the map of current Iocations will
be reviewed by MSI and City staff. MSI will provide recommendations as to the effectiveness of
these locations. Throughout the location analysis phase, public health and safety considerations
will take precedence over all other requirements. • Final sign locations will be subject to review and
approval by the Development Review Manager, Code Enforcement Officer.
Leasing/Permitting (Weeks 2 through 4)
Upon location approval, MSI will initiate the process of obtaining ground leases, encroachment
and building permits for those locations not currently part of the kiosk program.
Fabrication/Installation (Weeks 2 through 12)
Concurrent with the leasing/permitting phase, we will commence construction.
Marketing (on-going (Weeks 2 through 6)
Concurrent with fabrication, upon acquiring ground leases and permits, all potential Kiosk panel
users will be contacted in a timely manner. This will provide ample time to ensure complete and
fair participation prior to commencement of Kiosk installation.
Marketing and leasing will be an ongoing process. A marketing packet will be prepared containing
price lists for set-up fees and leasing rates, along with the current map of locations and availability.
This packet will be sent to all builders at the time the Kiosk sign building permits are applied for
and after that on an as -required basis.
Mminkittative Guidelii24 i nclitiOcedj res:
MSI's approach to this program will be one of a professional consultant and partner with the City in the
implementation and administration of this program. The result will be a program, of which the City, its
citizens, the building community and MSI can be proud.
✓ Construction, installation, maintenance, repair and removal of Kiosk Sign Structures and Sign Panels at no cost to
the City.
MSI shall design, construct, install, and maintain/repair all of its kiosk structures and panels, in
house. : - e i. no co t. a Ci of Lund ' . as these costs are recouped through the
administration and fee collection during the life of the kiosk program.
1 Contracts with developers and homebuilders for the placement of Sign Panels in a fair and equitable manner under
the guidelines of the City.
Concurrent with fabrication, upon acquiring ground leases and permits, all potential Kiosk panel
users will be contacted in a timely manner. This will provide ample time to ensure complete and
fair participation prior to commencement of Kiosk installation.
MSI's method of sign panel placement combines traffic safety with effective way -finding
strategies. In determining panel sequencing, top to bottom on the structures, left turns will be at
the top. The next panel(s) will be right turns followed by straight ahead panels. This facilitates a
safe and orderly traffic flow.
By taking into consideration the current location of new home developments, the kiosk structures
will be located throughout the city in a manner that will provide plenty of opportunities for panel
placement. Since the City of Round Rock will continue to grow into the decades to come, future
kiosk locations will be identified, and planned for, as the need arises.
1 Assistance to the City in determination of appropriate locations for the Kiosk Sign Structures.
With extensive experience in way -finding strategies, MSI will develop an effective kiosk location
plan for the City of Round Rock. This plan will take into consideration the topography and
physical landscape when locating the kiosk structures. Again, safety is the primary determination
when developing the kiosk location plan.
✓ Procurement and maintenance of necessaryground leaser forpublic orprivate properties if necessary.
Copies of the ground leases, when necessary, will be provided to the City of Round Rock as part
of the overall kiosk location analysis.
1 Attendance at meetings as necessary with City Staff, developers, and homebuilders to coordinate the implementation
of the Kiosk Sign Program.
At MSI, we recognize the importance of maintaining open communication with all parties
involved in the kiosk program. In addition, to attending the meetings to discuss the kiosk
program, MSI provides, in writing, all pertinent changes to the City and the kiosk participants.
Administrative Citi fief ea aid Ptocedutes.�cot tiz u d
1 Administration and maintenance of alllease or rental agreements for the Kiosk Sign Structures and Sign Panels.
MSI will provide the City of Round Rock with the following. An up-to-date map of each kiosk
location with exact GPS coordinates, a roster of participants per location, kiosk panel order forms
received, and a status report of removed sign panels. These updates are typically provided on a
semi-annual basis.
✓ Provision to the City of Kiosk Sign Structures which exclusively contain Sign Panels which direct the public to City
and community facilities and properties and/or providing the City with Sign Panels on Kiosk Sign Structures
containing builder and deve4perSign Panels, at no cost to the City.
MSI's Kiosk Directional Sign Program provides sign panels, and structures as needed, to be used
by the City for direction to public amenities like City offices, parks, and other facilities. Up to
20% of the total number of sign panels are allotted for municipal use.
In addition, MSI will comply with all requirements of the City's sign ordinances pertinent to kiosk signs.
Prior to installation of the signage, we will conduct a "walk-through" to ensure all signs meet sign ordinance
requirements.
All sign locations will be installed in the street side right-of-way or on private property with ground leases
secured by MSI.
MSI will implement a weekly:
1 Inspection.
✓ Installation of new blades and removal of those discontinuing service.
✓ Sign removal of unauthorized signs.
1 Maintenance program.
Maintenance and Service (ongoing)
Our goal is to dedicate a minimum of one full day each week to install new panels, remove old
panels and provide general required maintenance. As the structures age, repaints will be required.
In addition, we will allocate a minimum of 8 hours each Saturday and Sunday for the removal of all
weekend directional signs, as well as providing a weekly report to the City Designee.
As additional structures are added to the kiosk sign program, more time will be allocated for
service, maintenance and enforcement.
Administration (ongoing)
The tasks of ongoing administration include: Invoicing and collections, program inventory, coordination of
new panel production, removal of old panels, and revisions to location map and list of available locations.
Additionally, all signs will be treated with a graffiti guard product. Graffiti removal will be initiated within
24 hours of notification.
.Gadeline8 for osl Sfti t to do is
In order to assure the safe placement of the kiosk structures, MSI uses the following guidelines in locating
the structures. The elevations and terrain of Round Rock's streets and boulevards will be taken into
consideration when placing the kiosk structures.
