6. ACTION ON ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
a) Agenda item E-3 - Plans and specifications and advertisement for bids for security
retrofit of Library stairwells which was removed from the Consent Calendar was
introduced by City Manager Flynn who indicated that the funding source should be
changed from the Contingency Fund to the General Fund Capital.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Sieglock, Warner second, the plans and specifications
and advertisement for bids for security retrofit of Library stairwells was approved by the
City Council with the funding source being General Fund Capital.
FILE NO. CC 12.1 (c)
b) Agenda item E-10 — Purchase of one LCD projector ($6,771.01) which was removed
from the Consent Calendar was introduced by staff. The City Council was apprised that
the following three bids were received and opened on May 7, 1997:
• Audio Graphic Systems, (Hitachi Model CP -L750) - $6,332.47
• Minnesota Western, (Sharp XG-NVI) - $6,771.01
• Imaging Products International (Proxima DP 5600) - $7,677.18
The bid specifications required that "bidders whose proposals represent the three lowest
bids offered (for equipment meeting specifications) will ... provide demonstration
projectors... for evaluation. Equipment determined by the City of Lodi to offer the best
value will be recommended for purchase." This requirement provided the City with an
opportunity to follow the so-called "golden rule" of buying an LCD projector: "Always get a
demonstration of the models..., preferably under conditions similar to those in which you'll
use the projector" Important considerations in the evaluation were sharpness and clarity,
brightness, colors, contrast, and overall image quality.
Both the Hitachi and the Proxima met specifications. The Sharp did not meet
specifications in two areas (power focus and zoom, and number of RGB input ports); in
image quality, it and the Hitachi were ranked about equal. However, the Sharp was the
only projector that could be connected successfully with the computer with which it will
most frequently be used. In addition, it was the only model offering a three-year on-site
warranty; the others offered one-year, mail -in coverage. Therefore, for connectivity,
picture quality, and warranty considerations, staff believed the Sharp to be the best value
for the City, and staff recommended award to Minnesota Western.

Discussion followed with questions being directed to staff regarding the matter. Following
additional discussion, the City Council concurred that the matter be pulled from this
agenda and be brought back to the City Council at a later date.

regarding the matter were posed by members of the City Council and were responded

On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Sieglock, Mann second, it was determined that it was
in the City's best interest to have a sole bidder, and the City Council adopted Resolution
97-77 - A Resolution of the Lodi City Council Authorizing the Purchase of Police
Surveillance Camera Equipment for City Parks.
FILE NO. CC 20
d) Agenda item E-20 - Addition of Section 7 (Insurance) to Fleet Policies and Procedures

7. 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
receive public comment on the Northern California Power Agency Integrated Resource
Plan (IRP) and to approve the IRP for submittal.
Mayor Pennino abstained from discussion and voting on this matter because of a possible
conflict of interest. Mayor Pennino left his seat at the Council table and this segment of
the agenda was presided over by Mayor Pro Tempore Sieglock.
Staff apprised the City Council that this hearing is being held to meet the public
involvement process portion of the IRP as required by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EP
Act) and the Department of Energy. Energy Planning and Management Program
(Program). The Program goal is to promote the efficient use of electrical energy by
Western's customers and to extend Western's long-term firm commitments in support of
customer IRP's.
Western customers, such as the City of Lodi, must complete an IRP containing Two -Year
and Five -Year Action Plans. As a minimum, the City must submit or have submitted on its
behalf an updated IRP every five years and provide yearly IRP progress reports to
Western. Additionally, each utility must conduct a public involvement process that
provides opportunity for public comments on information and recommendations contained
in the proposed IRP. Comments resulting from the public involvement process and a
copy of the resolution approving the City's IRP must accompany the IRP submittal to
Western.
Lodi and the cities of Alameda, Biggs, Gridley, Healsburg, Lompoc and Ukiah and the
Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative are making a joint IRP filing through the
Northern California Power Agency.
The proposed IRP contains the following sections:
• Introduction
• Customer Surveys
• Load Forecast
• Resource Requirements and Description
• DSM Analysis
• Least Cost Resource Plan
• Two- and Five -Year Action Plans
• Monitoring Program for Two and Five -Year Action Plans
• Environmental Impacts
• Public Involvement Process
The IRP requirements of the EP Act are intended to help insure acquisition of least cost
resources by Western's customers and to insure efficient use of all resources in each
customer's portfolio. At the time of the passage of the EP Act, Lodi was completing
acquisition of power resources through NCPA to meet its rapidly growing demand.
These resources both plants and contracts, were intended to make the City self-sufficient
in a time of high alternate resource costs and severe limits on access to alternate
bulk power markets.
Subsequently, City resource needs decreased due to customer self -generation and a
general slowdown in overall load growth. As a result, the City has sufficient electric
power capacity resources to last into the next century. Based on current forecasts, the
City will not require additional capacity resources until the 2004 to 2007 time frame, at
which time new capacity is expected to be provided from the emerging competitive
generation market.
With the progression of electric utility industry restructuring and the steep drop in market
prices, a "no build" policy is recommended for the foreseeable future.
Currently, NCPA and the Electric Utility Department are investigating possible power
cost savings in the following areas.
• Non -renewal, renegotiation and/or termination of contracts which are no longer
competitive in the new energy market;
• Reduction in operation of existing projects whenever market energy prices are lower
than the project's variable fuel costs;
• Retirement or sale of non -economic projects; and
• Marketing of surplus resources
Electric Utility Director, Alan N. Vallow and Business Planning and Market Manager, Jack
Stone presented the staff report.

Mayor Pennino returned to his seat at the Council table.
b) 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 the technical equipment purchase proposal for local Law Enforcement Block
Grant Program.
Police Chief Hansen introduced this public hearing advising that on July 17, 1996, the
City Council authorized the Lodi Police Department to accept Local Law Enforcement
Block Grant Program Funds in the amount of $104,057 and provide 11 % matching funds
in the amount of $11,561. The source of the matching funds will be taken from the
General fund.
The City applied for, and received the Grant Award on February 19, 1997. The funds
were placed in a special revenue fund pending dispersal.
On May 22, 1997 an Advisory Board convened and reviewed the proposal for the
disbursement of those funds. The proposal indicated that in combining this grant
money with the COPS More grant funding, the police department has over $600,000 to
spend on Mobile Data Computers, Computer Automated Dispatch, a new radio
infrastructure and report writing software.
One immediate result of the additional technology from research of other cities is that
rate of stolen cars recovered immediately increases. Officers were able to run
licenses and warrant checks from their cars and are more likely to use the computers
provided because of the ease of accessibility and speed of response.
Persons comprising the Advisory Board were named, and it was pointed out that the
Advisory Board agreed with the proposal and make no other recommendations.
Hearing Opened to the Public
There were no persons in the audience wishing to address the City Council

9. REGULAR CALENDAR
a) David Vaccarezza, President and owner of California Waste Recovery Systems
addressed the City Council advising that California Waste Recovery Systems (CWRS)
has entered into a definitive agreement to merge their company with United Waste
Systems. The company will operate under the name Califomia Waste Removal
Systems.
The City Council was apprised that United Waste Systems is one of the fastest growing
solid waste management firms in the United States. It is comprised of local family-owned
refuse businesses. They have an outstanding record for providing quality customer
service. This merger has been structured in a manner to avoid any inconvenience to Lodi
customers. Customers will continue to deal with the same people on a daily basis and will
receive the same level of high quality service they have come to expect. The Vaccarezza
family will continue to be integral in all CWRS operations. David Vaccarezza will become
Regional Vice President. Thom Sanchez becomes the General Manager and Annette
Murdaca acquires the role of Administrator.
The current franchise agreement between the City of Lodi and CWRS was entered into
beginning July 1, 1989. The agreement provides for two seven year terms at the option of
the contractor, and two seven year terms at the option of the City. We are currently in the
eighth year of the contract, leaving approximately six years on the current term, followed
by renewals at the option of the City.
The contract specifies that assignment requires City consent. Assignment of the contract
to United Waste Systems requires that United Waste Systems assume all terms and
conditions of the contract and the rate methodology. United Waste Systems has been
fully informed of these terms and conditions and is eager to accept assignment of the
contract.

a possible conflict of interest.

b) The City Council was apprised that the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan,
developed by City staff and public input, calls for the construction of a basketball court at
Legion Park. This plan was adopted by City Council in January 1994 and staff is moving
forward in completing its recommendations.
The Council was informed that existing and soon to be constructed basketball court in the
City's parks include: Century Park (1) court; Blakely Park (2 half courts); Hale Park
(1 court); Hutchins Street Square (2 courts); Peterson Park (1 court); Van Buskirk (112
court).
Future basketball installations include: Bridgetowne Development (1 court); Roget Park
(1 court), DeBenedetti Park (2 courts); Richards Ranch (1 court).
Numerous exhibits and diagrams regarding this matter were presented for the City
Council's perusal.
City Manager Flynn stated that the proposal for Legion Park is for a family basketball
court with no lights or parking.
The following persons addressed the City council regarding the matter:
1. Mr. Jack Loftus, 609 Windsor Drive, Lodi stated that he doesn't think
there should be a basketball court there. He also indicated that this
should be a children's park and suggested that the matter be set aside
for further consideration.
2. Parks and Recreation Commissioner Bob Johnson stated that the
Parks and Recreation Commission had met the night before and
were disappointed that the Council took it back after they had
referred the matter to the Commission. He further stated that the
Parks and Recreation Commission at this time is absolutely neutral on
the matter, but feels that this had moved forward too fast and that
steps should be considered for public input.
3. Ruby Martel, Vine Street, Lodi indicated that she has lived there since
1955. She stated that she feels that this is a children's park and that
they don't need any more cement around this park.

FILE NO. CC -40
Mayor Pennino abstained from discussion and voting on the following matter because of a
possible conflict of interest and asked that Mayor Pro Tempore Sieglock preside over this
segment of the meeting.
C) Community Development Director Bartlam reminded the City Council that on September
18, 1996, Mr. Weisz, the owner at 1936 Edgewood Drive, requested to build a swimming
pool that was denied by staff because it straddled the rear property line and encroached
onto City owned property.
Community Development Director Bartlam stated that the City Council had directed staff
to have an appraisal prepared and to share the information with the balance of the
property owners along Edgewood Drive who have similar conditions. An appraisal was
completed by Swanberg & Associates with a value placed on the City property of $.80 per
square foot. In April, a letter was sent to all of the property owners that have a contiguous
property line with the City land adjacent to the levee. Of the eighteen properties, four
owners contacted Mr. Bartlam to give their preference of options. The alternatives
outlined were:
Do nothing, In other words, allow the current situation to exist as is and wait for
for another issue to bring this to our attention. This is not our preferred alternative
because it does not address the issue.
Sell the strip of property to the adjacent owners. The City Council has authorized
an appraisal of the property. If the Council so chooses, sale could take place at
the appraised amount which is $.80 per square foot.
Provide for an Encroachment Permit to be issued to any owner of property that
has in fact done so. Some caveats may be placed on this permit; such as,
naming the City as an additional insured on your homeowner's insurance policy.
Responses have been received from four owners. Three owners stated their desire to
purchase the strip and one preferred to do nothing, but understood the City's need for an
encroachment permit.
It was staffs recommendation that the City Council offer the strip for sale to any
property owner who chooses to purchase at the appraised value. The strip should
include the slope of the levee. Finally, staff believes it would be prudent to direct the City
Attorney to draft language for a convenant that can be recorded on those properties
whose owners have improvements on City property but are not desirous of buying that
strip. This recorded instrument would put all future owners on notice about the
encroachment and provide for some level of liability protection for the City.
11
Mr. Bryan Weiz, 1936 Edgewood Drive, Lodi addressed the City Council
expressing his appreciation of Mr. Bartlam's handling of this matter and his
attempts to resolve it. He stated that he was surprised at the appraisal of $.80
per square foot. He said that additional problems came about after the
development of the Wilderness Area. He concluded by saying that he would like
to have the matter resolved and be done with it.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed to Community
Development Director Bartlam. It was suggested that a deadline of perhaps
December 31, 1997 be set to accept the $.80 per square foot amount A number
of other alternatives were suggested and discussed.
The City Council indicated its concern that it favored moving forward with this
matter; allowing the $.80 per square foot to a date certain, and to make sure that
the encroachment process be made as simple as possible.
Following discussion, with questions being directed to staff, the City Council, on
motion of Council Member Warner, Sieglock second, approved selling the City
property to adjacent owners for the appraised amount of $.80 per square foot and
that this price shall be in effect until December 31, 1997.Further, the City Attorney
was directed to prepare and record a notice on those properties not purchasing
the strip informing current and future owners of the homes on Edgewood of the
condition.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Land, Mann, Sieglock, and Warner
Noes: Council Member - None
Mayor Pennino abstained from voting on this matter.
