BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its 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 calls 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 $60 an hour per bus. The following is a list of annual events which have previously requested transit service: Sandhill Crane Festival 4th at the Lake (formerly Ooh Ahh) Chamber of Commerce — Leadership Lodi Hutchins Street Square Performances Adult Day Care to Micke Grove Park Visitor and Conference Bureau Media Day FISCAL IMPACT: None.
