AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Request the Transportation
Enhancement Activities Grant be Transferred to the Kettleman Lane Gap Closure
Project from the Lodi Lake Bike Path Project (Phase II)
MEETING DATE: January 16, 2002
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to request the
Transportation Enhancement Activities Grant be transferred to the
Kettleman Lane Gap Closure Project from the Lodi Lake Bike Path Project
(Phase II).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi was awarded a $163,000 Transportation Enhancement
Activities (TEA) Grant from the San Joaquin Council of Governments
(COG) for the construction of the Lodi Lake Bike Path. After the field
review was conducted by Caltrans, the agency that authorizes the
construction of the TEA projects, it was determined that the studies Caltrans would require would consume
the majority of the TEA funds. For that reason, staff is recommending that the City request COG transfer the
TEA funds to the Kettleman Lane Gap Closure Project because that project already has federal funds and it
is on a State highway.
In order for COG to request the transfer, the City needs to assure COG that by transferring the TEA
money the City intends to construct the Lodi Lake Bike Path Project (Phase II).
FUNDING: Not applicable.
