A RESOLUTION OF THE LOCI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE AMENDMENTS TO THE CURRENT MEASURE K
ENVIRONMENTAL ANIS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENTS FOR THE LODI CENTRAL CITY RAILROAD SAFETY PROJECT
WHEREAS, on July 2, 2003, the City Council adopted a Resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Lodi and the
Railroads; and
WHEREAS, the amended MOU allows the Railroads to consider an alternative plan that
includes rehabilitating the existing CCT short line between Lodi and Stockton; and
WHEREAS, can April 14, 2004, the City received written confirmation from the Railroads
informing us of their decision to rehabilitate the CCT railroad between Stockton and Lodi; and
WHEREAS, in addition to reducing the overall project cost to the City, the project will further
enhance Central City Railroad safety by eliminating all eastbound and westbound rail traffic
between the UPRR mainline and the CCT mainline along the Kentucky House Branch/Lockeford
Street corridor and, thereby, eliminating five additional crossings; and
WHEREAS, since rehabilitating the CCT does not include any City participation towards
design, there are remaining Measure K funds available for removal of existing trackage and
rehabilitation of crossings along the Kentucky House Branch/Lockeford Street corridor; and
WHEREAS, the improvements to be included in the amendments to the Cooperative
Agreements include track removal, re -grading, and pavement restoration associated with the five
crossings that are to be eliminated. Additional work includes the construction of a traffic signal at
the intersection of Stockton Street and Lockeford Street.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize
the City Manager to execute amendments to the current Measure K Environmental and Design and
Construction Cooperative Agreements for the Lodi Central City Railroad Safety Project.
