BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), co -funder of the parking structure, requires a public hearing as part of the public participation process. To date, two public meetings, SPARC review, and a Shirtsleeve Session have been held to discuss the parking structure. Many of the changes to the design of the project have come from the public's input, including the Lodi Historical Society. In addition, the Sacramento Street facade has been redesigned to address the concerns expressed by the City Council at the Shirtsleeve Session. The City of Lodi's Public Works and Community Development departments, and the FTA, all concur that the parking structure will have no adverse impacts on the historical Lodi Arch. The project includes removal of nine redwoods on Sacramento Street at Pine and Elm streets. To mitigate these tree removals, staff is recommending that replacement redwoods be planted at a location more suited for the long life of these trees. For example, approximately 1 acre of the Roget Park site could accommodate a 40 -tree redwood grove. We anticipate developing a concept plan for Roget Park this fall. However, other locations, or a combination of locations, may also be appropriate. The City Council is also being asked to approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertising for bids for the project, which includes the construction of an approximately 120,000 -square -foot, three-level parking structure (330± cars), one at ground level and two levels above ground; approximately 15,000 square feet of ground -level retail/office space; associated electrical, mechanical, utility, site preparation and landscape work; curb, gutter, and sidewalk; and demolition and replacement of streets. The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. FUNDING: The money for this project will be coming from Federal Transit, Community Development Block Grant, Measure K, Air District, Local Street, and Electric Utility funds. A request for appropriation of funds will be made at contract award. Project Estimate: Budgeted: Planned Bid Opening Date: $5,510,000 2000/01 fiscal year Aug us 1, 2000 G Richard C.
