AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Submittal of Grant Documents to Office of
Homeland Security for Proposition 1 B Transit Security Funds and
Authorizing Transportation Managerto Submit All Necessary Paperwork and
Reimbursement Requests
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving submittal of grant documents to the
Office of Homeland Security (OHS) for Proposition 1 B Transit
Security Funds and authorizing the Transportation Manager to
submit all necessary paperwork and reimbursement requests.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: With the voter approval of Proposition 113, which provided bond
funding for Transportation projects, several classifications of funding
were established bythe California Legislature. For Transit, the
classifications include Capital funds which are allocated by the State
through the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), as well as Transit security funds which are
split between a direct allocation to the City by OHS and a discretionary allocation which is allocated by
OHS to SJCOG who in return sub -allocates to the Transit properties.
The City of Lodi has been directly allocated $3,731 for the current fiscal year by OHS and should receive
additional funding in the upcoming fiscal years. Staff has recommended approval of all current and
subsequent grant documents to allow for the timely use of the funding. Unlike most grant programs,
bond funds are deposited prior to expense and, therefore, are more easily used to fund these projects. In
addition to the direct allocation from OHS, the City has been allocated $50,000 from SJCOG for the
current fiscal year and is working with SJCOG staff on the submittal of that paperwork. For the current
fiscal year, staff intends to utilize the funding to purchase and install a card key access system for the
Lodi Multi -Modal Station, Lodi Station Parking Structure and new MSC Transit Vehicle Maintenance
Shop. In addition, funds will be used to purchase fencing and video cameras to secure Transit vehicles
parked off-site.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the security improvementswill be fully covered by the Prop 1 B
Transit security funds, and there is no match requirement. Failure to adopt
the resolution and claim the funding could result in the funds being
re-allocatedto anotherjurisdiction.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Fundingwill be made available through this allocation
