HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - May 21, 2014 AdjournmentIn response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Schwabauer stated the downside of granting this
request is the risk that others may make similar requests that the City may not want to grant.
Providing wastewater treatment to Michael/David Winery supports the City's General Plan goal of
maintaining and supporting agriculture and wineries surrounding Lodi. The alternative is for
Michael/David to comply with the Regional Water Quality Control Board's requirements of
monitoring nitrates, which would be very expensive.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Schwabauer stated that the original condition for a
downtown tasting room would remain in place with the new agreement and Michael/David has
plans to increase its tasting room options by obtaining a license that would allow beer sales, as
well as other winemakers' products, in order to draw larger crowds. The County is concerned
about opening its right of way to the public because it might encourage additional requests in the
future.
David Phillips, representing Michael/David Winery, acknowledged previous City Manager Blair
King for his vision and encouraged Council support for this concept.
Mr. Schwabauer reminded the public that the City provides this wastewater service to those
outside the City limits and they pay 150% of the rate to receive this benefit from the City.
John Slaughterback expressed concern that this request is incomplete and ambiguous and stated
the City should not be involved in someone else's transmission line as the City could be left
responsible for substandard construction. He believed by opening this possibility to one winery
many more will make similar requests.
Mr. Schwabauer stated that staff has made it clear to Michael/David that this project would
require a bond, industrial waste (versus septic waste) costs the City much less to treat, the
request is only conceptual at this time, and staff will return to Council with a draft agreement
addressing all concerns assuming Council is amenable to opening up the treatment plant to the
winery.
Council provided direction to pursue the concept and return with a draft agreement for Council
consideration.
