AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Application for Department of Boating and Waterways
Grant
MEETING DATE: April 18,2012
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreationand Cultural Services Interim Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving application for Department of Boating
and Waterways grant.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Lake boat ramp, located on the north shore of the lake to
the west of Parson's Point, is in poor condition, and parking and
related facilities are inadequate and poorly designed. This resolution authorizes the application for a
grant seeking $707,238 from the California Department of Boating and Waterways, without the
requirement of a City match, to replace and expand those facilities. On April 3, 2012, the Recreation
Commission voted unanimously to recommend the City Council support the application.
The plan would improve vehicle circulation, decreasing the time needed to launch and remove boats,
provide additional boat trailer parking and general parking overall, and a new dock. Lack of parking today
results in boaters being turned away from the park. The design and cost estimates were prepared by the
Department of Boating and Waterways in consultation with Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Department staff. A photo of the ramp and a copy of the proposed design are attached.
While there would be a loss of some turf areas on the west edge of the existing parking lot, those are
areas that are on the parkfringe and receive little use. The improvements planned for the south shore
driveway and parking areas will result in increased turf areas in the park's most heavily used areas.
If the project receives funding, construction for below -water facilities would likely begin in December2014
or January 2015, in coordination with the Woodbridge Irrigation District. Parking area improvements
would be scheduled during the spring or summer of 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT: Applying for the grant does not have fiscal impacts. A grant -funded project
would result in increased launch revenue and reduced maintenance.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
