HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - June 2, 1982 (43)COMMENTS BY CITY Following receipt of a petition from residents in the area of
COUNCIL MEMBERS Laurel Avenue requesting that the $1.00 entrance fee to Lodi
Lake Park be rescinded. The following persons addressed the
LODI LAKE PARK Council on the matter and on problems being encountered in the
area of Lodi Lake Park:
a) Mr. A. M. Mellor, 1008 Laurel Avenue, Lodi
b) Mr. Miles Cope, 1012 Laurel Avenue, Lodi
c) Mr. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi
d) Mr. Leon Mitchell, 525 N. Sunset Drive, Lodi
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff and to members of the audience who had given testimony.
Mayor Fred Reid then appointed the following Task Force to study
the matter, asking that the Task Force return to Council next
month with their recommendations:
Chairman - John (Randy) Snider - Councilman
James Schroeder - Community Development Director
Marc Yates - Chief of Policc
TO THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
Since starting to charge cars a dollar entry fee begining at noon
at Lodi Lake, the parking has switched to Laurel Ave., with the occupants
of the cars using the sidewalk, the levee and that portion of the park
just across the levee. This congestion on Laurel Ave. continues from,
MOO noon until about 8:30 in the evening when the cars begin to thin
out due to the "No Parking After Nino" signs along Laurel Ave.
We voderstand this change in entry fees and the 12:00 time of imposing
Lien has greatly improved conditions on the north side of the Lake. At
the sans time, the use of the Park adjacent to Laurel Ave., where the
new play area for children has been built- including the expsnsive,new
slide complex - has greatly diniaished by families with children, during
the afternoon when the street and Park are crowded.
There is a lot of drinking along the levee. Judging by the empty cans,
bottles and battle caps, a very large part of it is beer.
Yc are asking that the cine dollar charge begining at noon be discontinued
We isnow that this will probably bring back the problems of the north side
but we feel that that problem should be dealt with where it edets.If the
problems at the Lake are due to drinklft;.-.re believe that alcoholic
beverages should be barred from TAdl Lake Park.
We are aware that the present problem existing along Laurel Ave. was
not intended or foreseen.
