PROGRAM
Council was advised that the Public Works Department is
currently performing a sidewalk inspection and inventory of all `
of the hazardous sidewalks within the City of Lodi. Based on
data compiled, it appears that there will be approximately 2,000
areas in the City that will require temporary patching. It is
anticipated that the City will reed to hire one additional
temporary two-man crew so that the majority of this work can be
accomplished prior to the rainy season. Because of the shortage
of vehicles during the summer season it will be necessary to
purchase an additional pickup truck for the second patching crew.
Council approved a Special Allocation Request for $4,100 for
purchasing a used pickup truck to be used for the sidewalk
maintenance program.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
DATE: JUNE 26, 1985
SUBJECT: Temporary Repairs to City Sidewalk
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve a Special Allocation
Request for 4,100 for purchasing a used pickup truck.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department is currently performing
a sidewalk inspection and inventory of all of the hazardous sidewalks within
the City of Lodi. We have divided the City into six districts and we have just
completed the inspection of the third district. Based on this data, it appears
that there will be approximately 2,000 areas that will require temporary
patching. This is viewed as a very high priority project, and we should make
every effort to complete this program as rapidly as possible.
Initially it was our intent to start the patching with one two -person -crew.
Now that we have some feel for the amount of temporary patching needed, it is
the feeling of the Street Superintendent with one additional temporary two-man
crew we can accomplish the majority of the required temporary patching before
the rainy season begins. However, because of the shortage of vehicles during
the summer season, it will be necessary to purchase an additional pickup truck
for the second patching crew. We have located a 1976 Ford 3/4 ton pickup in
good condition. It is recommended that Special Allocation in the amount of
$4,100 be approved for the purchase of a used 3/4 ton pickup truck. At the
conclusion of the project we will evaluate our need to retain or dispose of the
truck.
