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: December 16, 2015
PREPARED BY: Interim 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 grant funding from the Proposition 1B Transit
System Safety, Security and Disaster Response Account
(TSSSDRA) program in the total amount of $395,027. This lump
sum award represents the City's total share for a three-year period (FY 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17).
The Proposition 1B 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 annually for three
consecutive years (FY 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17), totaling approximately $1,607,000. These funds
are distributed at the discretion of SJCOG amongst eligible transit providers, including Lodi, Escalon,
Ripon, Tracy, Manteca, Regional Rail Commission, and the Regional Transit District. SJCOG staff
requested transit agencies submit eligible projects for funding. City staff is requesting funds for transit
safety and security improvements at the Lodi Transit Station/Parking Structure, and Municipal Utility
Service Fueling/ Fleet Maintenance Facility. The project includes adding and upgrading card readers,
monitors, cameras, fencing, gate access equipment, security doors, windows, and radio communication
system.
Four eligible transit operators will receive additional Proposition 1B funds (Section 99314) based on fare
revenues. As a result, the City will receive an additional $3,731 for the transit security improvements. At the
November 19, 2015 SJCOG Board of Directors meeting, the Board adopted a resolution approving the
TSSSDRA funding request.
Lodi has in the past been awarded TSSSDRA funds for transit security projects. Examples include the
Lodi Transit Station and Parking Structure security camera system, fare box vault, identification card
readers, Municipal Utility Service Fleet Maintenance Facility security camera system, and an Intelligent
Transportation System for the transit buses. All of these projects enhance the safety of the transit
passengers and assets.
