BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the March 5, 2003, meeting, Council adopted policies and
procedures for the use of transit services outside regular operations.
Included in the adopted policy was specific language identifying the
procedure for utilizing the City's transit services for public service
events, including Leadership Lodi, which is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.
The policy calls for the City's Transportation Manager to advertise in the local newspapers, with the cost
to be born by the applicant, to determine if any other operator is willing and/or able to perform the
service. At the conclusion of the advertisement period (which shall be 2 weeks), should no alternate
provider be willing to provide the service, the City's transit service may provide those services at the
fully -allocated rate. The current fully -allocated rate (contract cost plus maintenance, etc.) is $40 an hour
per bus.
FUNDING: Funding for the advertisement shall be incurred by the applicant.
