HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - November 6, 1996 (72)CITYOFLODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Agreement for Maintenance of Walkway Between Vineyard Shopping Center and Brandywine Drive MEETING DATE: November 6, 1996 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the attached agreement with New Generation Trading Company for the purpose of maintaining the walkway between the Vineyard Shopping Center and Brandywine Drive. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council has received complaints and voiced concerns over the maintenance of the walkway between the Vineyard Shopping Center and Brandywine Drive. In reviewing this walkway in the field with the Community Development Director, it was determined that the walkway is highly used by pedestrian traffic from the residential area to the south and it is felt that the walkway cannot be abandoned. In researching the ownership of this walkway, it was determined that it is not owned by the City and, therefore, is not maintained under our landscape maintenance contract. In reviewing this problem with the Street Superintendent, it was determined that the City of Lodi would be much better off if the owner of this walkway would pay the City to have it maintained under our citywide landscape maintenance contract. It was felt that by making some minor improvements using City forces we could bring this walkway up to the standards of our other walkways and could then be added to the landscaped areas and maintained by contract. Presently, this walkway is not handicapped accessible from the Vineyard Shopping Center. It is our intent, as part of providing some additional hardscaping, to also cut in a handicap ramp to make the total walkway handicapped accessible. Our landscape maintenance contractor will maintain this walkway on a weekly basis for $50 per month. This will include the maintenance of the landscaping together with picking up all debris and trash deposited on the site. The property owner has agreed to pay the cost of the contract maintenance. The attached agreement includes all of the terms and conditions verbally agreed upon with the property owner. FUNDING: Not applicable. +' / Jack .
