AGENDA TITLE: Possible introduction of an ordinance placing a 5 miles per
hour speed limit on Lodi Lake
MEETING DATE: July 15, 1992
PREPARED BY: City Attorney
ACTION: Council consideration of attached draft ordinance
limiting speed limit on Lodi Lake to 5 miles per hour.
BACKGROUND= At its meeting of March 18, 1992, the City Council
decided that access between Lodi Lake and the Mokelumne
River would be opened, but that the speed limit of boats
on the lake would be limited to 5 miles per hour. Signs
indicating the 5 MPH limit have been posted.
It has been pointed out by the Sheriff's office that to make the 5 MPH speed
limit enforceable, it will require an ordinance, which must also be submitted
to the California Department of Boating and Water Safety. If the Council
wishes to enforce the 5 MPH limit on Lodi Lake, it will be necessary to put in
place the attached ordinance.
FUNDING: Does not apply.
Respectfully submitted,
qA
Bob McNatt
City Attorney
