AGENDA ITEM 6-2_
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Application For Land And Water Conservation Fund
Lodi Lake South Shore Improvements Project
MEETING DATE: October 30,2012
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Interim Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving application for Land and Water
Conservation Fund Lodi Lake South Shore Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The parking and vehicle access areas along the south shore of Lodi
Lake Park east of the entry gate are in poor condition. The Parks,
Recreation and Cultural Services Department has long planned to
reconfigure and reconstruct this area. With the sale of park property for the Surface Water Treatment
Plant, the Department now has the funds to realize these plans.
In the meantime, the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation's Office of Grants and Local
Services is administering a federal grant program that provides nearly $2 million in matching funds
statewide to cities, counties and district to acquire or develop outdoor recreation areas and facilities.
Projects may include constructing new and/or renovating existing facilities for outdoor recreation, which
includes constructing support facilities, such as lighting and parking.
There is $1 million in Parks Capital funding for this project, sufficient for matching funds. The chances of
receiving a 50 -percent match for the project are slim, but a grant award of any size would benefit the City.
Staff estimates the project cost is $793,505. Our application requests a $396,752.50 match.
The project largely consists of reconstructing a two-lane drive with diagonal parking on each side and
making other improvements consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This will increase the
depth of lakefront areas and other green space and improve pedestrian access for the enjoyment of
outdoor recreation at Lodi Lake Park. The Recreation Commission reviewed and expressed its support of
this plan at the February7, 2012 meeting.
By adopting this ordinance, the City Council approves filing a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant
application, agrees not to convert any of the developed property to uses other than public recreation,
certifiesthe City of Lodi has matching funds, certifies the project is compatible with the General Plan, and
appoints the City Manager as the City's agent to execute and submit all documents.
The improvementsfunded under this program must be retained in perpetuity for public outdoor recreation
use. The application deadline is November 1, 2012. If the City is successful with its application, grant
funding would likely be available in the State's 2013/14 fiscal year budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: Dependent upon the City's success in receiving grant funds and the

amount of the grant.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Parks Capital (1212) for grant match.
