CITY MANAGER' SREPORT
FEBRUARY 9, 2026 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ADDING POST OFFICE

PARKING REHABILITATION PROJECT TO FY
2023/024 PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE, CIP PS 24- 05

AND APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION: Consider Adoption of a Resolution to Add Post Office Parking Rehabilitation Project to FY 2023/024
Pavement Maintenance, CIP PS 24- 05 and Approve
Budget Amendment
SUMMARY:

During the October 13, 2025 Council Meeting, Council Member Dresser made a referral in meeting agenda item 6. 2 requesting staff prepare an item for Council to consider the creation of a Capital Improvement Project ( CIP) to repair the parking area pavement and sidewalk fronting the Post Office on Seventh Street ( Project).

Attachment B provides a conceptual plan to accomplish the requested work, along with an engineer' sestimate.

Staff requests that City Council consider adding the Project to FY 2023/024 Pavement Maintenance, CIP PS 24- 05 to complete the proposed repairs. The funds in CIP PS 24- 05 are scoped for pavement rehabilitation, which matches the scope of work for the Project. If approved, staff requests that City Council adopt a Resolution approving a budget amendment as detailed in the Fiscal Impact section of this report and adding the Post Office Parking Rehabilitation project to FY 2023/024 Pavement Maintenance, CIP PS 24- 05.

BACKGROUND:

The subject area of asphalt paving provides two ( 2) parking spaces and has not been resurfaced or overlaid in over 15 years resulting in significant cracking and general deterioration. The sidewalk fronting the proposed pavement repair area also requires replacement to establish a full -height curb face, correct vertical displacements in the walking surface, and provide an ADA- compliant ramp where the sidewalk intersects the driveway.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Existing cracks in the paving area proposed for replacement have allowed water to penetrate the street' s
aggregate base layer, compromising the structural integrity and surface quality of the asphalt in an area where drivers must walk to and from their vehicles. Until the damaged asphalt paving is repaired, the deterioration of the street' s base layer and surface will continue to spread into adjacent, currently undamaged pavement areas.

CITY MANAGER' S REPORT
FEBRUARY 9, 2026 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: OUT OF STATE TRAVEL APPROVAL FOR THE 2026

SAN JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS ( SJCOG)

ONE VOICE TRIP
RECOMMENDATION: Council to Discuss and Consider Adopting a Resolution Authorizing Out of State Travel for the
2026 San Joaquin One Voice Trip to Washington, D. C.
from May 3-7, 2026, and Approve of Related Budget
Amendment
BACKGROUND:

Over the past several years, City officials have participated in approximately twenty 20) San Joaquin One Voice visits to Washington D. C., to promote jurisdictional projects and regional needs. This year, the conference will be held from May 3-7, 2026.

The City of Lathrop has an established travel policy that requires City Council approval for all out-f- state travel, incompliance with Government Code § 53232. 2, which requires local agencies to adopt a written policy for reasonable reimbursement rates for travel, meals, and lodging, and other actual and necessary expenses.

Additionally, commencing with the FY 2012- 13 budget process, Council voted to eliminate the One Voice Trip expense from the City Council' sbudget. The same was done for subsequent fiscal years. The travel funds were removed from the Council budget with the notion that if Council elected to have Councilmembers attend this event, a budget amendment would be required depending on the selected option.

The City Manager' stravel budget was kept unchanged; therefore, if Council elects to send the City Manager to attend this event, funds are available in the current budget.

If Councilmembers are interested in attending, the following options are available for consideration.

Options Include Cost Budget
Amendment

1. Send 2 Council Members & City Manager Approx. $16, 500 Approx. $11, 000
