BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Department of Transportation (CalTrans) requires the City of Lodi to enter into a Master Agreement to establish terms and conditions before state funds will be made available for a specific project. In addition to the Master Agreement, the City must submit and execute a project -specific Program Supplement for all state -funded transit projects. A Master Agreement with CalTrans was executed in 2007. Recently staff was advised that CalTrans is requiring the City to execute a new Master Agreement in order to continue to receive state funding. CalTrans policy requires a resolution authorizing execution of the Master Agreement prior to CalTrans providing the actual document to the City. Execution of the Master Agreement is subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. Staff recommends authorizing City Manager to execute Master Agreement with CalTrans and all related documents for state -funded transit projects, pending review and approval by the City Attorney. FISCAL IMPACT Failure to execute the Master Agreement would result in loss of state funds for Transit projects within the City of Lodi. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. Charles E.
