BACKGROUND INFORMATION: United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) has been cleaning Downtown public parking lots since 2000. Since that time, they have been successfully used at several City facilities. UCP provides meaningful work for the disabled. This program provides transportation and direct supervision for the UCP crew. In addition to strengthening the self-esteem of these crew members, the citizens of Lodi receive a service not otherwise provided. UCP has been called in the past from time to time to address one-time needs as well. A UCP crew is composed of four (4) persons plus a supervisor. The contract rate for a crew is $43 per hour. UCP is the only non-profit organization that pays the disabled minimum wage. All others pay the crew members less and cite additional benefits such as training, transportation, supervision and overhead as reasons for below -minimum wage. The contract is to remove trash and litter from the Downtown public parking lots, which include City Hall, Lodi Station, and Lodi Station Parking Structure. This service is provided Monday through Friday in the evenings. Some locations are serviced multiple times during the week. This contract reflects a 20% (175 -hour) reduction in hours from 1,020 in 2004/2005 to 845 hours total for 2005/2006. This reduction matches the targeted budget for funding available. FISCAL IMPACT: The overall fiscal impact is minor when service/benefit received is compared to cost. The entire community uses Downtown parking lots. A clean Downtown area gives the impression of a safe and welcoming environment. Lodi Station is not only the first impression for many visitors but also the only impression for many passing through Lodi on a train. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funds for this contract are provided in the 2005/2006 Operating Budget Project Estimate: $36,100 Budgeted: 10 General Fund — Downtown Parking Lot Maintenance $10,800 12 Transit Fund — Lodi Station Maintenance $25,300 AE a i s R.
