AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Transit Services Outside of Regular Service
Operations for the Listed Annual Events and Authorizing
Transportation Manager to Advertise to Determine if a Willing and/or Able
Provider Exists for these Events
MEETING DATE: August 17, 2005
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
authorizing the Transportation Manager to advertise to determine if a
willing andlor able provider exists for these events in accordance with
the Policy for Use of Transit Service Outside of Regular Operations.
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
