AGENDA TITLE: Fire Department Administrative Leave Policy Amendment
MEETING DATE: September 22, 1992
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RBCONMEMED ACTION: That the City Council exempt the Fire Department from
the current suspension of compensation for certain
hours of Administrative Leave.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its regular meeting of Wednesday, July 1, 1992 the
City Council, on the recommendation of staff,
suspended the policy of compensation for certain
hours of unused Administrative Leave as part of the
City's cost reduction necessitated by budget decisions of the State
Legislature. The Fire Chief has advised that strict adherence to this decision
in the Fire Department will cost money, rather than save it. This is based on
the need to "hire back" to fill a vacancy created when a Battalion Chief takes
Administrative Leave. This "hire back" to fill such a vacancy is compensated
at time and one half. Thus the additional cost to the City of
compensating for certain unused hours of Administrative Leave is approximately
$3,220 annually. It is clearly in the best economic interests of the City to
make this exemption from the recently adopted City-wide Administrative Leave
policy. This unique situation does not occur in other departments.
The Fire Chief will be in attendance at Tuesday morning's meeting to answer any
questions Councilmembers may have.
FUMING: None required
Respectfully _s_ubmmitted,

A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
IN SUPPORT OF THE NORTH SAN :,OAQUIN WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT'S
ATTEMPTS TO SECURE SUPPLEMENTAL WATER FROM THE MOKELUMNE RIVER
aa¢�xaaacaaacxxaaxaa saxaaaxaaaxaaaxaaaxxasasuaassasaaaaaaasaasaxaxaaxxa
WHEREAS, the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District
(NSJWCD) is purveyor of water to areas contiguous to the City of Lodi;
and
WHBRHAS, any surface water which NSJWCD can supply to its users
for agricultural purposes from the Mokelumne River avoids a
commensurate depletion of the ground water basin which Lodi shares and
which is already over -drafted; and
WHEREAS, any ground water not required to be pumped for NSJWCD
customers because of the availability of supplemental Mokelumne River
water benefits the same ground water table from which Lodi also draws
its water for municipal and industrial uses; and
WHEREAS, there are now hearings scheduled before the State Water
Resources Control Board which may affect NSJWCD's right to Mokelumne
River water; and
WHEREAS, the NSJWCD intends to present testimony at the hearing
on November 9, 1992 seeking the allocation of an assured supply of
surface water from the Mokelumne River to alleviate a serious depletion
of the ground water basin;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LODI CITY COUNCIL THAT:
1. The City of Lodi supports and endorses the efforts of NSJWCD to
obtain a secure supplemental water supply from the Mokelumne
River which would benefit both the District and the City, and
2. Lodi Public Works Director Jack Ronsko is hereby authorized and
directed to appear at the hearing now scheduled for November 9,
1992 before the State Water Resources Control Board for the
purpose of presenting testimony on behalf of NSJWCD's request for
such supplemental water.
