AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Submittal of Grant Documents to California
Governor's Office of Emergency Services and Authorizing Transportation Manager
to Submit All Necessary Paperwork and Reimbursement Requests
MEETING DATE: November 20, 2013
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving submittal of grant documents to
California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and authorizing
Transportation Manager to submit all necessary paperwork and
reimbursement requests.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: City staff is requesting Proposition 1 B funds from the Transit System
Safety, Security and Disaster Response Account (TSSSDRA)
program in the amount of $63,371 for the FY 2013/14 cycle. The
Proposition 1 B TSSSDRA program is administered by the California Governor's Office of Emergency
Services and Homeland Security Grant Unit.
San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) will receive approximately $535,900 program funds to
distribute, at its discretion, among the eligible transit providers that include Lodi, Escalon, Ripon, Tracy,
Manteca, Regional Rail Commission and the Regional Transit District. SJCOG staff requested transit
agencies submit eligible projects; however, only a few projects were submitted for funding. Lodi staff
requested funds to install a security system, including cameras and a closed circuit system, at the
Municipal Service Center Transit Maintenance Facility and expand the security camera system at the Lodi
Transit Parking Structure. The total request for $60,000 will be reviewed by the SJCOG Interagency
Transit Committee and Board, as well as other transit agency applicants.
Three eligible transit operators will receive additional Proposition 1 B funds (Section 99314) based on fare
revenues. As a result, the City of Lodi will receive an additional $3,731 for the transit security improvements.
With this grant funding, a minimum of six cameras will be installed at the facilities. Last fiscal year, a
security camera system was installed at the Lodi Transit Station and Parking Structure, utilizing both
TSSSDRA and ARRA funds. After installation, it was determined that additional cameras would improve
the ability to read license plates at the entrances. At the maintenance facility, the cameras will provide a
live feed for the Lodi Police Department staff to view the surrounding grounds of the maintenance shop,
including the transit vehicle storage and repair area and adjacent public parking lot. The security system
and camera equipment enhances the safety of the transit assets by continually recording activity.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the security improvements will be fully covered by the
Proposition 1 B TSSSDRA funds, and there is no match requirement.
Failure to adopt the resolution and claim the funding will result in the funds
being re -allocated to another agency.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be made available through this action.
