Councilman Pinkerton reported that "At the September 1, 19&2
Council Meeting; Mayor Reid appointed me to chair a Task Force
Hyl" consisting of representatives of both the proponents and
opponents of the proposed Downtown Assessment District to
0_1 discuss their differences in an effort to arrive at unanimity
z regarding this project. I was directed to report back to the f
Council at the October 6, 1982 Council Meeting with recommends-,
tions resulting from these discussions.
Five weekly Task Force meetings were held with representatives
of each group attending and the following recommendations
were derived from discussions at those meetings:
a) It is the belief of the -group that the opponents
and proponents of the proposed Downtown Assessment
District are merging into one supportive group whose
goal is the improvement and beautification of
downtown Lodi.
b) It is recommended that the firm of Morris and Wenell
be retained at a cost of $10,000 to develop a
schematic Master Plan for downtown Lodi which would
be acceptable to the group, which plan would be an
extension of the plan developed by Quad. It is
requested that Council allocate $10,000 for the
development of this plan. These funds are to be
allocated from the Hotel -Motel tax (Beautification
finds). It is the intention of the group that upon
the completion of the project, that this sum and
the original $25,000 allocated for .the development
of the Quad Plan will be reimbursed to the City..
c) It was agreed that the ultimate plan has to have
IMPACT.
1) The Beautification Plan must, as a minimum
requirement to be a viable investment, reverse
and stop the appearance of physical deterioration
on Sacramento Street.
2) The Beautification Plan must establish a degree
of aesthetic uniformity throughout the existing
downtown area, and place its emphasis on areas
that need improvement the mit.
3) The Beautification Plan, as previously stated,
must be consistant with and actually should be
an extension of the final plan for the Post Office.
4) Customer amenities should be top priority in any
plan and should include:
A) Public restrooms and phone booths
B) Weather protection (awnings and trellis covers)
C) Sidewalk improvement
D) Mid -block pedestrian crossings
E) Benches strategically located in all d(rrntown
areas
d) Traffic circulation patterns for downtown will be
determined later in the planning process.
e) Pian must provide for additional parking. If it is
feasible. a School Street parking plan should be
developed with parallel parking on one side of the
street and diagonal parking on the other.
I would ask Council to commend this Task Force for its
comnitment of timo and effort ,ind to support the recommendr-

mendations resulting from these discussions.
First of all I would like to present to the Council for its review the plans for

plan for downtown must be consistent with anlactually should be an extension of

present the Plans for the benefit of the Council.
