AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Transit Services Outside of Regular Service
Operations for the Listed Annual Events and Authorize the
Transportation Manager to Advertise to Determine if a Willing and/or Able
Provider Exists for these Events
MEETING DATE: September 1, 2004
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council adopt a resolution authorizing transit services outside
of regular service operations for the annual events listed below and
authorize the Transportation Manager to advertise to determine if a
willing and/or able provider exists for these events in accordance
with the Policy for Use of Transit Service Outside of Regular Operations.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the June 16, 2004 meeting, the City Council adopted policies and
procedures for the use of transit services outside regular operations.
Included in the adopted policy was specific language identifying the
procedure for utilizing the City's transit services for public service
events. The policy revisions call for the City's Transportation Manager to advertise not only in the local
newspapers but additionally with the trade organizations to determine if any other operator is willing
and/or able to perform the service. To expedite this process, it has been recommended (and included in
the policy) to do one general advertisement each year, and should no provider be interested, the City's
transit service may provide those services at the fully -allocated rate. An administrative fee of $50 per
event would be charged to cover the annual advertisement. The current fully -allocated rate (contract cost
plus maintenance, depreciation, etc.) is $50 per hour per bus.
The following is a list of annual events which have previously requested transit service:
Sandhill Crane Festival Parade of Lights
O0000h Ahhhh Festival Grape Festival
Leadership Lodi Ag Day Leadership Lodi Government Day
Hutchins Street Square Performances Storm Drain Detectives
Adult Day Care to Micke Grove Park Assorted City Department and Council Events
FUNDING: None required. All services shall be billed in accordance with the adopted City
policy.
