TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE APRIL 19, 1989
SUBJECT: REPORT REGARDING WHEELChAIR LIFT DIAL -A -RIDE BQUnVENT FOR CITY OF LODI
PREPARED BY:
Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council approve the attached revised claim
for use of TDA funds to purchase additional equipment
for the Dial -A -Ride program dnd authorize the
Purchasing Agent to procure the most appropriate
wheelchair equipped vehicle.
BACKGROUND Il4;0RMATUN- COG has determined the City of Lodi has an unmet
transit need - a wheelchair equipped vehicle.
Patrons using the Dial -A-Ride program are experiencing
delays longer thar should be necessary. This
condition can partially be solved by adding additional
vehicles. B3' purchasing a vehicle with a wheelchair lift both objectives can be
achieved - the handicapped can be served and an additional vehicle can be added
to the fleet.
We can fund this vehicle using TDA funds; however, vie oust submit a revised
claim. There will be unexpended budgeted funds for 1988-89, plus approximately
$40,000 of additional unanticipated finds which will be , avai 1 abl e at year's
end. The revised claim is for $40,000 of which $5,305 . is for the cost of
vehicles purchased this year over what was budgeted. The remainder i s to be
used to purch'ase a wheelchair equipped van, a radio, and the necessary work to
place the vehicle in service. Any unexpended funds will be available for
Dial=A-Ride activities next year. Therefore, there is no downside in over
appropriating funds.
City staff, City Cab Company staff and COG staff are working together to
determine the most cost effective equipment available. Counc•i 1 i s requested to
authorize the Purchasing Agent to purchase a rev or used vehicle with a
wheelchair lift that will allow the City cf meet its unmet transit need and to
carry additional patrons.
Respectfully submi tted,
_Jerry L. Glenn
