(Resolution. Nos. 87-143, 87-144, arO 87-1145) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On November 21, 1984, technical amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1984 allowed the City of Lodi to defer its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement City Status, thereby making it possible for San Joaquin County to qualify as an urban county under the Community Development Block Grant Program. Through the deferral of its entitlement city status, the City of Lodi experienced increased benefits in CDBG funding levels, and was able to share burdensome administrative tasks with San Joaquin County. Sar. Joaquin County is presently nearing the end of its urban qualification period. In order for Lodi to continue to participate in the CDBG program with San Joaquin County, the attached Urban County Agreements are hereby provided for City Council adoption. The Urban County Agreements consist of the following resolutions and associated documents: 1. Resolution deferring the status of the City of Lodi as a metropolitan city under the Community Development Block Grant Program. 2. Resolution authorizing execution of the Urban County Cooperation Agreement, with said Cooperation Agreement attached. 3. Resolution authorizing execution of the Urban County Allocation Agreement, with said Allocation Agreement attached. For the forthcoming Urban County qualification period, changes have occurred in the following areas: Deferment Federal legislation is pending to extend the deferral provisions for entitlement cities like Lodi. In the event the Federal legislation is not enacted, language is included in the Cooperation Agreement which will allow Lodi to retain its independent entitlement status. In 1984, the deferment of Lodi's entitlement status was a prerequisite in the formation of an urban county. In this forthcoming qualification period, the County does not need Lodi's deferment to qualify as an urban county. Nevertheless, Lodi will continue to experience fiscal and administrative advantages with its continued participation. 116U TtN n:-^CE F qn NlNISTRATOR CZ \ F a`r GRANTS MANAGEMENT �/ O R COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN COURTHOUSE.

Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Dear Mr. Peterson: CDBG PROGRAM URBAN COUNTY AGREEMENTS 0 P til The County has been notified by the Department of Housing and Urban Developm.,nt (HUD) , to begin the urban county qualification process. Urban county qualification would entitle the County and the cities of Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, Ripon, and Escalon to continue to receive an estimated $2.25 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds during each of the next three years. Exact funding levels depend, in part, or, legislation currently pending in Congress. DEFERMENT During the last qualification period, the City of Lodi deferred its independent entitlement status and participated in the formation of an urban county. This was a prerequisite to the qualification of the County and the other cities. Federal legislation is pending which may extend the provision that cities like Lodi may defer their status. A draft City County resolution and letter of deferment to the Secretary of HUD is enclosed. The letter, as well as the proposed Cooperation Agreement, specifies that Lodi retains its independent entitlement status if the appropriate Federal legislation is not enacted. The County and the other participating cities may qualify as an urban county without Lodi's deferment. HUD's notice to that effect is based on the preliminary release of Bureau of the Census estimates. Those estimates may be confirmed within the next week. If the legislation is enacted, Lodi would still have the option of participating in the urban County. Discussions with staff i:I.:BG ;'�:,;gr3.rn vapt�:.,mb r 21-1, _98 ?a ;i "runty Aaret�;Tt�;r': _ gay^E 2 have identified fiscal and administrative advantages resulting from Lodi's participation. COOPERA!.rION AGREEMENT As during the last qualification period, each participating city must exercise its option to include its population in the urban county. Each city which chooses to participate must execute a Cooperation Agreement with the County which subsequently must be approved by HUD. All Cooperation Agreements must be submitted to HUD by November 9th. This deadline requires that each City Council endorse cooperation agreements during the week of October 19th. A draft of the proposed Cooperation Agreement is enclosed_ County Counsel finds it to conform to standards prescribed by HUD. Also enclosed is a suggested Resolution of your City Council authorizing and directing you to execute the Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement is essentially the same as that executed three years ago. HUD has directed that certain statements be added to all cooperation agreements. Those additions are underlined in the draft and concern the following: Effectiveness depends on enactment of Federal legislation. Statutory requirements regarding program income. Acquisition and disposition of real property. Certification of compliance with equal opportunity requirements . ALLOCATION_ AGREEMENT During the last qualification period, each participating city executed Allocation Agreements with the County. Those Agreements establi-'led the mechanisms for allocation of. CDHG funds within the urban county. A draft of the p oposed Allocation Agreement is enclosed. Also enclosed is a suggested resolution of your City Council authorizing the execution of the Agreement. The proposed Allocation Agreement is virtually the same as that executed three years ago. The only proposed revision is an increase in the administrative set-aside, from five percent to six percent. The original set-aside of five percent was established in relation to an initial grant of $2.6 million. This produced approximately $130,000. Federal. budget reductions have resulted l 31-oan Co-inty AQreemeP.t SeptF: niber 24 , 1987 pU cf:, in annual grants of approximately $2.25 million. The proposed set-aside of six percent will produce $135,000 for administration. The majority of the increase will be borne by t.ne County based on the mechanics of past allocations. Maintenance of adequate County administrative support is critical as the number of active projects has nearly tripled. In addition, specific areas of County responsibility, such as fair housing and labor standards, have required greater staff involvement than anticipated_ SCHEDULE We have arranged to discuss the urban county qualification process with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) during this week. The TAC is made up of city and County staff representatives. The materials will also be referred to the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) for review and comment. The PAC is made up of City Council representatives and is chaired by Supervisor Wilhoit. Following this review process, we will coordinate the placement of material on your City Council agenda with your staff. Subsequent to the submittal of qualification documents, we anticipate that HUD will confirm our urban county status by Tanuary 1988. Entitlement allocation amounts may be announced as early as February 1988. The CDBG "Program Year" would begin on July 1, 1988. At that time actual project costs could be incurred. DOCUMENTS Following endorsement by your City Council, we would request that all executed documents be submitted to this office by October 23rd. This will allow for presentation to the Board of Supervisors and transmittal to HUD prior to November 9th. The County will have staff available to pick-up the required documents to meet this very restrictive schedule. The following materials are required: Three (3) originals of the Cooperation Agreement executed by the City ?tanager. one (1) certified Resolution of the City Council authorizing the City Manager to execute the Cooperation Agreement. Two (2) originals of the Allocation Agreement executed by the Mayor.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this _—_—,--_--- day of November, 1984, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ATTEST: ,City Clerk City of City of , Mayor tie to the deregulation, of the trucking industry in 1880, there are r. w over '4 rriiiiivn More rc; vi fir.: c::s on the nativnC h:nh��P41rC than 6V VR�rC an More. than one out of every five fatal accidents involves a large truck and a private passenger ar tCITIobile. All drivers need to be made :amore aware that those big rigs barrelinc 0.Ovin the highways behind you a_re potential killers. Of the 4,500 people who die each year is, crashes involving big trucks, most victims are akitomobiie occupants. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), in fatal accidents between cars and big trucks, the car occupant is 35 times more likely than the trucker to be killed. People in smaller cars are at the greatest risk. On the average, an occupant of a sub -compact is 52 times more likely than a truck occupant to die in a fatal car -truck crash. This statistic is particularly alarming since the trend in car purchases is toward smaller, more fuel-efficient models. By contrast, some rigs weigh 80,000 Pounds or more when fully loaded and take greater distances to stop, pass, turn and accelerate. When cars and trucks collide, it's almost always the people in the cars who suffer most. Running into a truck is like running into a bridge abutment as there is no crushable structure to absorb the crash energy. There are additional problems as well. When a car hits the rear -end of the truck, the result can be particularly deadly. It's called underride whereby the car slides into and under the rear of the truck's trailer. Underride occurs in more than 80'/0 of the cases where cars strike the rears of tractor -trailers. A particularly dangerous procedure used by some truck drivers is the disconnect- ing of the front brakes on three -axle trailers. It is their misguided belief that it will help avoid jackknifing in quick stops. Safety experts debunk this myth, saying there is no real evidence to justify the practice and, instead of avoiding serious accidents, the lack of front Drakes could actually precipitate a crash. All too often, trucks have less than half the stopping capacity of cars, according to safety experts. The braking disparity alone means that when the driver of a car brakes in an emergency, he or she stands a frightening chance that the big rig behind won't be able to stop and may instead smash into or run over the car and the people inside it. There are some things you can do to lessen the chance of colliding with or being rear-ended by big trucks. 1. When following, maintain proper distance between your vehicle and the truck ahead. 2. When being followed, try to keep well ahead of the "big truck." If the truck keeps closing the gap, allow it to pass at the first safe opportunity. 3. Flashing your taillights or a light tap on your brake pedal, while maintaining speed, to light your stop tights may cause the vehicle following you to back off. 4. When descending steep hilts, be alert for big trucks following you. Most states require big rigs to stay in the right-hand lane. When there are two or more lanes for your direction of travel, stay out of the right-hand lane, if possible. We recognize that a majority of truck drivers and the associations they represent strive to assure that vehicle safety and maintenance receive utmost attention. However, since the Federal trucking deregulation and its resulting substantial increase in large trucks on the roads, the dangers are even more apparent. It's not Unigard's intention to unduly alarm you while driving on the nation's highways, but rather to make you an even more defensive driver and more alert to the potential dangers you may encounter along the way.
