CITY OF NODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Need to Take Action on Item Not on Posted Agenda
(Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(2) Re Supplemental
Federal Transit Funds
MEETING DATE: March 3, 1993
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: (1) The Council find that the circumstances
surrounding placing the attached item on the Agenda
became known after the Agenda for the meeting of
March 3, 1993 was posted.
(2) The Council vote in the affirmative that they
wish to take action on the attached item.
BACKGROUND: The agenda for the meeting of March 3, 1993 was finalized
on Thursday, February 25, 1993. On Friday, February 26,
1993, I received a telephone call from Ms. Helen Childs of
CALTRANS asking =f the City of Lodi would be able to use
some Federal dollars, soon to be released for mass tra,:nit purposes, the
criteria being that the dollars be committed within 60 days, and that a request
be faxed to CALTRANS by Tuesday, March 2, 1993.
Because we do not know when the funds will be released and how rapidly we can
move with advertising, response by vendors, and evaluation, I recommend we move
this request through the process as rapidly as possible. Therefore, I am
requesting Council to make the necessary findings and consider this matter
tonight, March 3, 1993.
Respectfully submitted,

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Supplemental Federal Transit Funds
MEETING DATE: March 3, 1993
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Counc-1 authorize the staff to request bids
for five wheelchair equipped mini -vans for
Dial -A -Ride.
BACKGROUND: On February 17, 1993, President Clinton announced his
economic plan to stimulate the economy. Part of his
economic stimulus proposal includes some $15.7
billion in short term spending. Part of that $15.7 billion is in transit
capital grants. It is expected these funds will be used for bus and van
purchases.
The emphasis on these projects is that they be ready to go, i.e., that
contracts can be awarded or procurement actions taken -+ithin 60 days of
enactment.
Our present Dial -A -Ride fleet has only 2 wheelchair -equipped vans. This is
inadequate as our calls for service are increasing. We also are presently
using three sedans which somewhat limits the number of passengers that can be
carried. We also have two station wagons which are nearing the end of their
expected life.
On Friday, February 26, 1993, I was asked oy CALTRANS to submit a proposed
supplemental funding request. I was asked to regpcnd by March 2, 1993. I sent
the attached request to CALTRANS for 5 wheelchair -equipped mini -vans. The
local share (204) can be funded using TDA funds.
Council is requested to authorize requests for bids for 5 mini -vans with the
understanding that purchase would not be made until the Federal funding became
available.
FUNDING: Federal Funds $160,000, TDA $40,000.
Respectfully submitted,
