AGENDA TITLE: Discuss and Select Project Nominations for San Joaquin Council of
Governments' One Voice Trip
MEETING DATE: January 4,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council discuss and select project nominations for the
San Joaquin Council of Governments' One Voice trip.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The San Joaquin Council of Governments (COG) is developing
regional priorities in preparation for the annual "One Voice" trip to
Washington, D.C., in April 2006. A letterfrom SJCOG requesting
input from the City of Lodi is attached, along with their evaluation
criteria check list.
City staff has identified the following projects for consideration, noting that project readiness as indicated
by scope, schedule, budget and matchingfunds is an issue in some cases. This list is not ranked in any
priority or preference. A summary of all street projects shown in the current budget, including unfunded
projects, is attached. Total project costs (preliminary) are as indicated. The grant request is limited to
$5 million, as noted in the COG evaluation check list.
■ Police/Fire Training Facility— This project is described in the attached materials prepared by the
Police and Fire Departments. This project has good linkage to the San Joaquin Delta College
North County campus project. ($5.5 million)
■ Highway 99/12 Interchange Improvements— The City has completed Phase 1 of this project
(signals, relocation of Beckman Road intersection) and has initiated preliminary engineering work
on Phase 2 —widening Highway 12 (Kettleman Lane) under Highway 99 and ramp capacity
improvements. Fundingthis projectwill be an issue and itwill likely need to be a combination of
Federal, State and Local funds (as would be the case for any major roadway improvement
project). ($20 million)
■ Other Highway 99 Interchange Improvements— Ramp/Interchange improvements at Turner Road
($40 million), Victor Road (Highway 12 East) ($36 million) and Harney Lane ($20 million) will all
be needed at some point in the future, possibly in conjunction with the North County Delta College
campus. Conceptual improvementsat Harney Lane have been identified as part of development
of the northwest quadrant, while little work has been done at the other interchanges.
• Lockeford Street Widening — This project is an element of the Central City Rail Safety Project, and
right-of-way acquisition from the railroad is in progress. Phase 1 improvement—west of
Stockton Street is funded in the capital budget, while Phase 2 — Stockton Street to
Cherokee Lane is not. ($1.9 million)
■ Lodi Avenue Improvements— This project is also following up on the Central City Rail Safety
Project in that the railroad tracks in the street are no longer in service. While the City can fund a

maintenance overlay on the remainder of the street, similar to what was done to cover the tracks,
a major rehabilitation and upgrade of the street is not funded in the near future. ($2.2 million)
MSC Vehicle Maintenance Facility — The facility is operating past capacity with several larger
vehicles having to currently be maintained outside in the shop yard because they do not fit into
the shop bays. This project has some funding included in the City budget, however, we have
assumed somefunding through the utilities. This project is currently included in the SJCOG
Federal Transportation Improvement Program for Federal Transit Administration Section 5307
funding. ($2.2 million)
Staff also notes that SJCOG is recommending "Neighboring Landowner protection for the San Joaquin
Multi -species Habitat Conservation Program" as a regional priority. Since this program is one
mechanism to help protect open space and agricultural lands, making this a Lodi priority would be
appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.

One Voice AppropriationForm
Project Budget: $5,500,000
Preparation and construction costs associated with a Police & Fire Training Facility would
include: a pistollrifle range; emergency driving area, emergency ordinance disposal area; an
area for training against weapons of mass destruction; classrooms for training Police & Fire Basic
Academies.
Relevant authorization law/bill/status: Not Known
Current status of project for which request is made:
Strategic planning: meeting with City staff, Lodi City Council and Delta College staff and trustees.
Background/Justification for this request:
Currently the Lodi Police Department, the Lodi Fire Department and San Joaquin Delta College
Police & Fire Training Academy, are lacking sufficient area and facilities to adequately train their
personnel in firearms usage, weaponless defense skills, search & rescue operations, emergency
vehicle operations, fire apparatus usage, explosives destruction and storage, as well as
numerous other training issues.
The purpose of this facility would be to provide a "state-of-the-art" training facility to address those
concerns listed above. The facility would provide a safe, full-scale training complex in which to
train the members of the Lodi Public Safety community, students of San Joaquin Delta College,
plus basic and advanced law enforcement and fire personnel from the region. The complex
would also be made available, upon request, to other public safety agencies (State, local and
Federal), to continue their essential, and mandatory, training needs. Building the facility would
enhance cooperation, and working relationships, between the police and fire department areas. It
would also provide lesser equipped agencies the highest quality of training available.
The complex would specifically address the areas of law enforcement and firearms training, fire
fighting techniques, emergency vehicle operations, such as police vehicles and motorcycles, fire
equipment, rescue vehicles and special operations vehicles. The facility would provide for
explosives storage and demolition, canine training, physical fitness training and continuing
training for "perishable skills" that require consistent use and education. The facility would be
integrated into a larger Jr. College Satellite campus, with a Police and Fire Basic Training
Academy.
The goal of this project would be to acquire, and construct, a training facility on forty (40)to eighty
(80) acres of land, owned by San Joaquin Delta College. This amount of space would be large
enough to address immediate training needs and provide for expanding future requirementsof
the public safety community. The facility/complex must address all areas of training for the
various inter -departmental divisions; i.e., SWAT, Basic Academy, firearms, defensive tactics,
driver's training, motorcycle training, canine, weapons of mass destruction, fire investigations,
special vehicle operation and explosive related incidents. The construction of the facility would
meet the needs of the Delta College Police Academy, the Lodi Police Department, the Lodi Fire
Department and any allied agency requesting the opportunity to improve and develop a training
program to provide the highest quality of service to the public.
One Voice Appropriation Form
The objectives of the facility/complex are to provide:
1. A "state-of-the-art" facility to benefit all participating members of the City and College.
2. A centrally located training area to outside agencies, in an area close enough to respond
for calls for service without unnecessary delays.
3. An area of training remote enough not to conflict with other City functions and operations,
and not to disrupt the public.
4. A well rounded training environmentto adequately train all personnel in all the areas of
training mandates and basic academy requirements.
The description of the facility, during the first phases of construction, would be to provide the
following:
1. Several areas specifically designed for specialized training to including a
pistol/rifle range and emergency vehicle driving course.
2. A classroom, multi-purpose room and support offices for the police academy.
3. A variety of out buildings to accommodate the needs of the training personnel.
4. An oversized parking lot and adequate fencing, lighting and security features to maintain
the integrity of the facility. The oversized parking area will allow for personnel parking as
well as driver's training exercises and special vehicle deployment training.
5. The facility would providefor "live -fire" ranges. The ranges would be constructed with the
latest technology available to ensure complete safety for personnel being trained, staff
and the public. The ranges would provide experience in "real world" scenarios that will
better equip public safety personnel in successfully handling those calls for service that
require specific, accurate and safe resolution.
The facility will also have an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) site, plus storage for explosive
and hazardous components related to EOD investigation and training. The complex will also
provide for training and familiarizing personnel with explosives, weapons of mass destruction and
mass casualty incidents, while ensuring that student and public safety will be maintained.
The complex, when completed, will provide first responders and the public safety community, with
training experience, and location, to adequately respond and successfully handle, calls for service
relating to areas of terrorism; whether the threat is suspected or actual. The site selected will
provide a centrally located north county area from which to respond, while allowing for a variety of
response vehicles and limited aircraft.
From a fire prospective; since the early 1970'sthe Fire Service has gained increased
responsibilities in the areas of emergency medical services, handling of hazardous materials, and
technical rescue operations. The recent environment of threats from terrorism has served to
multiply these factors. The City of Lodi is intersected by three major transportation routes,
including interstate and state highways and the Union Pacificrail line. The community is also
strategically located between two major urban port cities: Stockton (eight miles south), and
Sacramento (30 miles north). In addition, there are several major air traffic routes to the San
Francisco Bay Area that traverse over the region.
There are currently seventeen (17), fire agencies within San Joaquin County. There is only one
multi-purpose training facility. It is owned by the Stockton Fire Department and is located behind
one of their central fire stations. There is no fire training facility in the north county that can
accommodate the multi -company, multi -jurisdictional, multi -disciplines, needed to adequately
prepare for the communities emergency response needs. This new partnership, with San
Joaquin Delta College, would be a tremendous improvement in resolving a difficult situation.
The facility would include a training tower with fire training capabilities. This would address fire
training needs, with respect to maintaining skills, and present new training opportunities. Along
One Voice Appropriation Form
with fire training capabilities, the complex would include specific sites that would accommodate
training for the Hazardous Material Response Team and the Technical Rescue Team. These
teams represent a county -wide membership and would be used in the event of a weapons of
mass destruction attack. The site would include training capabilities for a variety of disciplines
within each team function.
What other organizations, in California, Washington DC, or nationally, might be expected
to support this request?
San Joaquin Delta College (local community college), supports the development of the Public
Safety Training Facility with voter approved bond proceeds in excess of $15,000,000 and is
currently in the process of a campus land acquisition in the Lodi area.
The San Joaquin County Police Chiefs & Sheriff's Association have voted unanimously to
support this project and are committed to providing staff and resources to ensure its success.
The Lodi City Council has endorsed the location of a San Joaquin Delta College Satellite Campus
in the Lodi area, to include Police & Fire Training Facilities
What other organizations, in California, Washington DC, or nationally, might be expected
to opoosg this request?
None
Is this project completely in California's 11th Congressional District? If not what other
districts is this project in?
