A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL ACCEPTING THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT
ALTERNATIVE FUEL GRANT, APPROVING THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT PUBLIC BENEFIT
GRANTS PROGRAM FUNDING AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY LODI
POLICE DEPARTMENT ACCEPTING GRANT FUNDS, APPROVING
THE PURCHASE OF TWO ZERO EMISSIONS MOTORCYCLES, AND
FURTHER APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, at its October 15, 2014 meeting, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2014-194, authorizing the Lodi Police Department to apply for the
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Alternative Fuel Grant to purchase two
Zero motorcycles; and
WHEREAS, the Lodi Police Department has received confirmation that it has
been awarded the $40,000 Alternative Fuel Grant and has executed the San Joaquin
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants Program Funding
Agreement on April 2, 2015 for receipt of grant funds; and
WHEREAS, staff respectfully requests that the City Council accept the
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Alternative Fuel Grant, approve the
San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants Program
Funding Agreement, executed by Lodi Police Department, accepting the grant funds in
the amount of $40,000; and
WHEREAS, staff further recommends the approval for the purchase of two Zero
Emissions motorcycles for park patrol and enforcement at a cost of $22,253 each. The
Zero DS motorcycles were chosen because of their reliability, low maintenance, battery
range and capacity, maneuverability, and lightweight chassis; and
WHEREAS, the Zero has a top speed of 95 mph and can travel a maximum of
164 miles on a charge. It has regenerative braking and has options for on- or off-road
use. With no gears, clutch, or noise, officers can focus on patrolling and can perform
highly technical maneuvers during intense situations where performance and agility are
essential; and
WHEREAS, because the San Joaquin Valley Air Control District grant funds fall
short of the total cost for two Zero motorcycles, the Police Department requests the
appropriation of $4,506 from the Vehicle Replacement fund to offset the shortage of
funds, in addition to the appropriation of the $40,000 grant funds for the purchase of the
motorcycles.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
1) Accept the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Alternative Fuel Grant; 2)
Approve the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants
Program Funding Agreement executed by Lodi Police Department accepting Grant
funds; 3) Approve the purchase of two Zero Emissions motorcycles in the amount of
$22,253 each; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby approves
appropriating funds in the amount of $4,506 from the Vehicle Replacement fund and
$40,000 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Alternative Fuel Grant for the
purchase of the two Zero Emissions motorcycles.
