AWARDS / PROCLAMATIONS / PRESENTATIONS a) Water/Wastewater Superintendent Forkas introduced Mr. Nicholas Pinhey, President Elect of the California Water Environment Association (CWEA), who presented Del Kerlin with the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility with the prestigious Wastewater Treatment Plant of the Year Award. CWEA has sixteen geographical sections in the State. From here the winners in each section will be eligible for the State award which will be awarded in April. Mr. Kerlin thanked CWEA for this award and the City Council and citizens for their support. It is truly an honor for the employees to receive this award. FILE NO. CC -6 AND CC -51(f) b) Police Chief Hansen made a report to the City Council on Phase II of the Community Oriented Policing Program. Within the last budget, the City Council has authorized the hiring of seven new police officers, two new dispatchers and has allowed the Police Department to accept over $1 million in grant funds. As Chief, Mr. Hansen has a heavy burden on his shoulders to translate those positions and money into a higher level of service for the citizens of Lodi. In 1996 the crime rate went down in Lodi representing a six-year low. There are things that affect crime over which we have no control, such as welfare reform, the County jails, Juvenile Hall, etc. There are things that the Police Department can do to go after crime, and in 1997 the Department will actively go after burglaries and car theft. Chief Hansen reviewed the Department's mission statement and reviewed its four goals and two-year strategic plan. Lieutenant Main explained the implementation strategies which include: 1) dividing the City into four major districts (each district will have a lieutenant and a sergeant assigned to it) with the downtown area as a mini district which goes in line with the bicycle program; 2) assigning officers to the same district on a consistent basis; 3) spending more time out of the car; 4) working with the citizens to identify problems; 5) initiating problem solving, otherwise known as Problem Oriented Policing (POP); 6) evaluating officers as a part of the promotional process; and 7) enhancing the Department's image (facilities, personnel and equipment). Chief Hansen reviewed the telephone reporting unit which handles 15% - 20% of the cases, the motor officers handling all collision reports thereby freeing up the police officers' time, the Continued March S, 1997 "school officer" whose time is dedicated to handling school -related details, the park officers handling all city parks, downtown and Hale Park bike patrol, and the support of the Partners Program freeing up the officers' time. Lieutenant Main reviewed the progress of implementing the program including a station officer, mobile data computers (MDC) in the patrol cars, field reporting computer software which would enable the officers' to write reports out in the field and eventually have a paperless system thereby eliminating a lot of the data entry, and a new computer-aided dispatch system. For the future, the Department will be creating a records management (paperless) system, improving customer relations, improving evidence collection and lab capabilities. All of this will improve follow-up procedures, improve dispatching procedures, improve professionalism on police radios, and improve response time within 30 minutes. There will be two supervisors assigned to quality control, random surveys will be conducted, they will monitor patrol follow up, and monitor POP projects. Police Volunteer Supervisor Biskup explained the telephone follow-up program conducted by the Partners Program which began in January 1997. The purpose of the program is to contact people who have been victims of property crimes to see if there are any changes or additional information to report. In January 146 follow up calls were made with twelve changes in property and five with additional information to report, and in February there were 179 calls, sixteen with changes and six with additional information. Mayor Pennino asked that Chief Hansen look into the juvenile court program for first time offenders. FILE NO. CC -6 AND CC -152 5.

FILE NO. CC -72, CC -90 AND CC -300 Continued March 5, 1997 PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Pennino called for the Public Hearing to consider and approve funding proposals from the community and City staff for expenditures of the City's 1997-98 Federal allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds. Hearing Opened to the Public 1. Gerry Schook, Loel Foundation, agreed that their original request was for $60,000; however, at that time they did not have the information on asbestos abatement which is the difference between the $60,000 and the $75,000 request; 2. Gene Stark, Habitat for Humanity, informed the City Council that they are ready to start building their fourth home in Lodi, this one on Garfield Street. The request of $55,000 is for the purchase of the property. Mr. Stark and Marilyn Field presented the City Council with Habitat for Humanity pins; 3. Paul Rengh, Executive Director for the San Joaquin County Food Bank, Stockton, indicated it is a pleasure providing the services that they do for Lodi. In 1996 their organization distributed over 6,000 pounds of food to citizens of Lodi. This year they have joined forces with the Salvation Army to form the Lodi Food Bank; 4. David Brewer, Director of St. Mary's Interfaith Dining Hall, Stockton, informed the City Council that, although they are located in Stockton, they do provide services to Lodi citizens. For example there was a thirteen year old girl badly injured who was struck by a pickup on Cherokee Lane. Their organization supplied this family with medical help, food, clothing, transportation to the hospital and living accommodations to be near their daughter while she was at the hospital. Their organization also provides dental services which was started by Dr. Abeldt, a Lodi dentist, and provides free medical help at their clinic which is open every day; 5. John Brinton, Family Law Center, thanked the City Council for last year's grant for $7,000. Their organization provides legal help for citizens of San Joaquin County, including Lodi. Their facility is located in Stockton near the courthouse, so that it may get family law orders that can only be done by the superior court. Their clients are low and moderate income individuals, many of whom are in abusive situations. Mr. Brinton referred to a Manteca Bulletin article in which a husband killed his wife and then himself, leaving their young son there alone. This was a family with a troubled marriage and documented abuse, and the mother did not know her options about divorce or child custody. These are the kinds of cases their agency deals with: drug and alcohol abuse, guardianship over children, domestic violence, etc.. These funds go specifically towards Lodi residents. Mr. Brinton introduced some of the board members present who donate their time to this organization. The Family Law Center has only one paid attorney and two paid secretaries, the rest is done with volunteers; Juanita Weber, Coordinator of the Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) Parent and Child Program. The program is operated by the County Office of Education and serves the whole county. This program would offer child care services to the students attending Woodruf Center, which includes people from Lodi. Many of the students who go there are people anxious to become self sufficient and leave the welfare system. Ms. Weber clarified that SUSD's request is actually for $12,432 instead of $355,000. This request has gone to several cities within the county. Lodi's request represents the 4% of Lodi students served and this is a one time funding; 4 Continued March 5, 199 7 7. Richard Jones, Boys and Girls Club, spoke on behalf of the coalition of the Hale Park Teen Center. The members of the coalition are the Gang Alternative Project (GAP), the East Side Improvement Committee, the Salvation Army, the Lodi Police Department, the City of Lodi Parks and Recreation Department, Lodi Unified School District (LUSD), Lodi Fire Department and the Boys and Girls Club. The Boys and Girls Club is acting as the lead agency in this project, and it has requested funds from the National Foundation, in which it received $50,000 for operations for one year. The coalition has been meeting for the past several months for the best plan of action to help solve the concerns at Hale Park, in addition to ideas on programming, operations, facility, staffing, and making sure teens have a place to go to feel safe and become productive teenagers. The project will kick off on the first of May. Council Member Mann suggested that instead of using the money for leasing the building, see if the owner would be willing to sell the building which could then be used by both the Parks and Recreation Department and the Teen Center; 8. Paula Soto, Lodi Community Center, requested funding for Dial -A -Ride tickets. Their organization provides services to low and moderate income persons, and these tickets would be for families and senior citizens of this community; 9. Mary Gisler, Mark Gisler, and Paul Gisler, submitted a revision to their request of $500,000 in HOME funds for Pine Street Manor (copy of revised request on file in the City Clerk's office). Pine Street Manor houses mentally ill persons who have no other place to go. They are looking for funding from a variety of sources, and asked that Council consider funding one of the various projects listed on their handout (the total amount was for approximately $122,000); 10. Virginia Lahr, representing San Joaquin County Fair Housing, clarified that this is a Federally -mandated program. Lodi has a choice of providing these services in- house or going through the county's office. The organization deals with housing discrimination, substandard housing, code enforcement, low income people, lectures to people in shelters and landlords, and there is no charge for the services. Their budget is broken down percentage -wise for all of the cities; 11. Paul Tarbell and Captain AI Parker with the Salvation Army, invited the City Council to visit their center on Lockeford Street and see the changes; 12. Ron Williamson and Dwight Dauber with the Parks and Recreation Department informed Council they were available to answer any questions regarding their request; and 13. Virginia Snyder, East Side Improvement Committee, informed the City Council that the Gisler's home will be a part of the Committee's Home Tour on May 4, 1997. In regards to the preservation survey, they need to talk with the experts in the field. This survey will open the field for more grants that may help people like the Gislers. Ms. Synder invited the Council to attend its April 8, 1997 meeting to talk about historical preservation at the Carnegie Forum at 7:00 p.m. Public Portion of Hearino Closed ACTION: The City Council, on motion of Council Member Warner, Pennino second, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 97-31 approving staffs recommendation on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds with the following exceptions: Continued March S, 1997 • $12,432 would be reallocated from the City of Lodi Public Works Department Handicap Ramp Retrofit Project to the Stockton Unified School District's request for installation of portable classroom for child care, pending approval on the grant request from the city of Stockton. If the project does not move forward, the $12,432 would be returned to the Handicap Ramp Retrofit Project; The $16,000 request from St. Mary's Interfaith Dining Room was approved pending approval of the grant requests from the cities of Stockton and Manteca; and • Staff will look into the possibility of funding options for the Pine Street Manor and return to the City Council. Council Member Mann stated for the record that he was voting in favor of the motion; however, he expressed concern and opposition to the funding of the SUSD request, because Lodi Unified School District may have an equally worthwhile project needing funding. FILE NO. CC -55 AND CC -300 RECESS Mayor Pennino called for a ten-minute recess and the City Council meeting reconvened at approximately 9:54 p.m. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Pennino called for the continued Public Hearing to consider the appeal from Richard Galantine seeking relief from the Notice and Order to Repair dated October 16, 1996 for his property located at 311 Cherry Street, Lodi. Hearinq Opened to the Public Richard Galantine, 2446 Grenoble Court, Lodi, spoke in support of his appeal. The home was built in 1915 and moved to that location when Needham School was built. Mr. Galantine acquired the property in May of 1996 and began work immediately. He has taken 28 loads to the dump, removed debris and garbage, scraped off the old paint on the outside, obtained a roof permit to install a new roof, and removed skirting to remove dryrot damage. He was in the middle of doing this work when the property was tagged by the City, and he had to stop fixing the property. The structure is sound, and he has permits for the work that needed to be done. Mr. Galantine asked Council for relief to let him complete the job on the building, and then the City can inspect it when it is done. If not, he will be forced to fence the property and board up the building. The foundation is as it was when it was put down in that location, and he should not have to bring a 1915 building up to current codes. Mr. Galantine does not need the City telling him what to do, it is his responsibility and he will be the one sued if there is a problem; Continued March 5, 1997 Virginia Lahr, 311 East Elm Street, requested that Council deny the appeal. This house was not maintained and is in dire need of repair; however, the repairs have to be done with permits. Mr. Galantine was before the City Council previously regarding improvements on a property on Cherokee Lane without the proper permits. This building just needs to be brought up to code and, therefore, the appeal should be denied. This is what is happening on the east side. If we let this go, then we need to let the Code Enforcement Officer go. He needs our support and backing; and Virginia Snyder, 303 Louie Avenue, Lodi, shared the same comments as Ms. Lahr. She has worked with the Code Enforcement Officer. He is professional and knowledgeable. Let's support him and commend his efforts. Public Portion of Hearinq Closed ACTION: The City Council, on motion of Council Member Warner, Land second, unanimously affirmed the findings and conditions that the building, or portions thereof, are unsafe and a public nuisance, denied the appeal and ordered the issue, to be certified by the City Clerk, that the building be repaired as required by the Notice and Order dated October 16, 1996. FILE NO. CC -6 AND CC -24(b) 10. COMMUNICATIONS (CITY CLERK) a) On recommendation of the City Attorney, Risk Manager and/or the City's contract administrator, Insurance Consulting Associates, Inc.

Speaking on the matter were the following persons: Thomas Wintch, Project Manager for State Route 12/99 Interchange Project, Greiner Engineering, Inc., explained to the City Council that their organization was hired by San Joaquin County Council of Governments (COG) to prepare the study. Mr. Wintch reviewed the reason for recommending Alternative 2 and explained both the interim and the ultimate plans; 2. Garry Horton also with Greiner Engineering, Inc., reviewed on the maps the changes that will take place at the State Route 12/99 Interchange; 3. David Lamm, Real Estate Representative for McDonalds Corporation, 1750 Howe Avenue, Sacramento, went on record that it conceptually supports the program. It recognizes the growth of traffic over time. However, they do have concerns regarding the left -tum movement into their site, the right turn out of their site (due to the insertion of a median) and the possibility of Beckman Road becoming a private road (they do not want to pick up the maintenance of this road); and 4. Pat Stocker, P.O. 673, Victor, expressed concern on how their family's property east of Beckman Road will fair in this proposal. FILE NO.

COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS a) June Aaker, 1512 Holly Drive, Lodi, read her letter to the editor which appeared in the Lodi News Sentinel on February 10, 1997 regarding the spaying and neutering of dogs. Ms. Aaker purchased a dog from the City of Lodi Animal Shelter. She was informed by the staff and volunteers of the pound that when an animal is purchased it must immediately by spayed or neutered no matter what the age, and they assured her that it does not cause problems. After she spayed her puppy, the veterinarian told her to keep her puppy inactive for ten days, which is hard to do. Because the puppy was spayed at such a young age, her stitches will never heal properly, her vulva will never develop or grow, and she will continue to urinate on herself. Ms. Aaker resents the fact that the City pound neglected to do its homework and provided incorrect information on the spaying or neutering of pets before 6 months of age. Ms. Aaker requested that the City pound inform people of the chances they are taking before spaying and neutering their pet. Mayor Pennino referred the matter to staff and directed that Ms. Aaker be informed of any resolutions. FILE NO. CC -16 AND CC -65 b) Pat Stocker, P.O. Box 673, Victor, spoke regarding the Parks and Recreation Commission's decision on the boat grant at Mokelumne River. Mr. Stocker asked the Council to take the Commission's vote into consideration and give the money back. City Manager Flynn announced that the Council will hear this matter at the first meeting in April instead of the second. FILE NO. CC -27(c) AND CC -184 16. COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS a) Council Member Sieglock congratulated Frank Ortiz on his new position as Fire Chief in Santa Maria. In regards to the pound issue, Mr. Sieglock recommended that the City provide the staff and the volunteers of the Animal Friends Connection with the resources to run the center better. Perhaps the Council can take a field trip to the pound at a Shirtsleeve Session and meet with the volunteers. Further, Mr. Sieglock was disappointed in a recent letter to the editor by Bing Taylor regarding conspiracy and secret meetings. The issue regarding the boat ramp is not riding anywhere and the money is going to be sent back to the State. We have never done business in the way that this letter suggested. We run a good ship here and do things in the open and above board, and we will continue to run things that way. FILE NO. CC -6 AND CC -65 0 Continued March 5, 1997 b) Council Member Warner announced that the trolley is now running in downtown Lodi. It is free, and citizens were encouraged to ride it. The purpose of the trolley is to get to the parking as the street gets torn up. Further, Mr. Warner recently purchased a car from Geweke Ford in Lodi. They had a professional and courteous staff. Citizens were reminded to keep the sales dollars here by shopping in Lodi. C) Council Member Mann informed the Council that he and City Manager Flynn attended the American Computer Machine (ACM) 97 Conference and Exposition in San Jose. The theme was the next 50 years of computing. They had the cream of the computer forecasters, and he is amazed at what is on the horizon. The position approved by Council this evening is well worth it. d) Council Member Land stated that he has received several phone calls complaining about the rate increase from Continental Cablevision. Citizens are asking us to take action on this. Mayor Pennino informed Mr. Land that staff had a meeting with Continental Cablevision two weeks ago, and they may be coming before the Council in April. City Attorney Hays reminded the Council that the cable TV industry has been taken away from local jurisdictions and is now covered by the Federal Communications Act. We have no say at all on rates. In regards to the franchise fee contained in the franchise document, California and Federal laws have a limit on how high the fee can be, although, Lodi is no where near the upper limit. The franchise fee comes to the City from cable's use of right- of-ways, poles, etc., and the franchise agreement has a lot of years left on it. Further, Council Member Land had the opportunity to visit Chief Hansen in the public safety building. It is a mess over there, and he is glad to see it in upcoming budget discussions. FILE NO. CC -22(c) e) Council Member Mann indicated he also received calls on cable's rates, and it is his strong feeling that cable TV is a non-essential, privately owned and operated business. If you do not like it and do not think it is worth it, then disconnect it and do not subscribe to cable TV. There are other alternatives to cable TV. FILE NO. CC -22(c) City Manager Flynn also reminded the public that the downtown trolley is operating. It is a twelve -minute ride and is free. Tickets for the Modesto A's games go on sale on Friday. Ticket price is $4 for general admission and children five and under are free. Further, Mr. Flynn introduced Carlos Tobar, the newly -appointed Transportation Coordinator. 17.
