AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Managerto Negotiate and Execute
Cooperative Agreement with the San Joaquin Council of Governments
(SJCOG) for Dial -A -Ride Service (FY 08/09 to FY 10111) ($360,000)
MEETING DATE: July 16,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and
execute a Cooperative Agreement with the San Joaquin Council of
Governments (SJCOG)for the Dial -A -Ride Service Operations
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The San Joaquin Council of Governments administers the regional
sales tax, Measure K. Measure K provides funding for a variety of
projects, including transit funding. Previouslythe City of Lodi has
received funding for the GrapeLine Express Routes (peak hour
routes designed to reduce congestion on the fixed routes in conjunction with the beginning and ending of
the school day), however, due to unforeseen revisions to the Measure K fund balances, SJCOG has
notified the City that the Express Route project is unable to receive funding.
Staff has met with SJCOG staff to determine alternative projects which would be eligible for funding.
SJCOG staff proposed funding $120,000 a year in Dial -A -Ride expense which is currently paid for by
TDA and FTA funds. Dial -A -Ride service is currently fully funded through TDA and FTAfunding. The
addition of Measure K funds would allow $120,000 in TDA and FTA funds previously budgeted for
Dial -A -Ride to be utilized for Express Route service. The proposed cooperative agreement ensures that
the change in Measure K revenue has no net impact on the Transit fund or level of service provided.
FISCAL IMPACT: Without approval of the cooperative agreement, the City of Lodi
would not receive Measure K Transit funding, and the current
Express Routes would either be discontinued or have to be funded
out of existing transit revenues.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
