AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Use of GrapeLine Buses as In -Kind Match for Sandhill Crane Festival
MEETING DATE: September 5, 2001
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize use of GrapeLine buses November 3 and 4, 2001, as in-kind
match for Sandhill Crane Festival.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Sandhill Crane Festival is requesting use of five GrapeLine
buses for two days. Buses will travel to Woodbridge Road, Lodi
wastewater ponds, Kofu Park, and the Consumnes River Preserve.
The Sandhill Crane Festival provides an economic benefit for the
City of Lodi. Last year, over 1,000 people, 89% of whom were from outside the county, attended the
Festival. The participants visited cranes and other wildlife in the area. Participants have cited the
availability of buses as one of the strong points of the Festival. This also promotes Transit in general.
The value of the City's in-kind match is $1,400. We have sufficient vehicles on hand.
FUNDING: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) — 50%
Transportation Development Act (TDA) — 50%
