AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Use of GrapeLine Buses as In -Kind Match for the 2002 and Subsequent
Sandhill Crane Festivals
MEETING DATE: July 3, 2002
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize use of GrapeLine buses, as in-kind match for Sandhill Crane
Festival.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Sandhill Crane Festival is again requesting use of GrapeLine
buses for this event. This event is sponsored by the
Chamber of Commerce and various resource agencies. Buses will
travel to Woodbridge Road, Lodi wastewater ponds, Kofu Park,
Consumnes River Preserve, and similar locations. The Sandhill Crane Festival provides an economic
benefit for the City of Lodi and 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 approximately $2,000. We have sufficient vehicles on hand.
Staff recommends that the Council authorize this use for the 2002 event, and subsequent
Sandhill Crane Festivals, subject to availability as determined by staff.
FUNDING: Transit Fund.
