BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, staff from U.S. Rep. Jerry McNerney's office asks the City of Lodi to submit a list of projects for consideration in the federal budget. There is no guarantee that any federal funding will materialize. Even so, it is prudentto provide our Congressman with a list of funding needs. In those cases where the Congressman does not make a direct funding request, his staff is often aware of bills and grant programs that might provide future funding opportunities. The deadline for filing requests for federal Fiscal Year 2011 is February 12, 2010. Staff will submit funding requests for: ■ The riverbank repair at Pigs Lake; ■ The Mokelumne Water Treatment Plant; ■ Harney Lane interchange and grade separation; ■ Water meter installation; ■ Green business incubator/jobs creator; ■ Completion of public safety digital radio equipment upgrades; ■ Grape Bowl renovations; ■ Wastewater collector piping reconstruction; ■ East Lodi asphalt rubber overlays; ■ Cherokee Lane curb and sidewalk rehabilitation; ■ Equipment upgrade at Library Computer Learning Center. Staff will send in the funding request forms for these projects, or a modified list at the City Council's direction. FISCAL IMPACT: Potentially significant revenue, depending on success of the requests. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. ZKing City Manager 0-1, APPROVED: /2z v„ Blair Ki Manager
