AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving East Lodi Avenue Reconstruction for
Proposition 1 B Funding
MEETING DATE: February 20,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the East Lodi Avenue Reconstruction
for Proposition 1B (Transportation Bond) funding.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Proposition 1B funds have been allocated to the City of Lodi in the
amount of $1,984,371 (FY 2007108 and FY 2008109). These funds are
allocated through the Budget Bill (SB 78 and 88) and include
$550 million for cities in FY 2007108. All Prop 1 B funds appropriated
in FY 2007108 must be expended within three years of receipt.
When the City's budgetwas adopted, the amount and eligibilityfor the Proposition 1B projects was under
review by the State Controller's Office. Now that the guidelines have been posted, formal designation of
the project(s) using the funds is required by the City Council to secure the funds. Staff recommends the
East Lodi Avenue Improvement Project (between the Union Pacific Railroad and Cherokee Lane) be the
sole project using the Proposition 1 B funds and requests that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution affirming staffs recommendation.
Currently, planning for the East Lodi Avenue Improvement Project is underway. Staff and the planning
design consultant, Moore lacofano Goltsman (MIG), have conducted two public workshops, one in
September 2007 and another in January 2008. Final Design Guidelines with project details will be
presented to City Council in March 2008 and will include reconstructing the travel lanes and permanently
removing the railroad tracks that were temporarily covered with asphalt concrete. Construction of this
project is anticipated to begin in summer 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT: The primary purpose for requesting approval of the Proposition 1 B Street
Project list now prior to completing the planning study is that the funds will
be provided to the City in advance of construction upon submittal of the
project. Without Proposition 1 B funds, the Lodi Avenue Improvement
Project will have insufficient funds. Based on the funding guidelines, the street projects approved in the
City's budget for FY 2007108 and meeting the Proposition 1 B funds eligibility guidelines may utilize the
Proposition 1B funds. If excess funds become available, staff will administratively submit other projects
currently listed in the City's budget.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
