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.
