Session on February 8, 1994 in which the auditors presented the City of Lodi's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and Management Letter for the year ended
June 30, 1993. The February 9 article implied that the City of Lodi improperly spent
monies and took too much money from utility funds to cover the costs of day-to-day
operations.

stated that his reporter listened to the tape of the meeting again and commented on this
quote by Mr. Jim Camey of the firm, "I know that there isn't anything inherently wrong
with what you're doing. ...The general funds should be as self-sufficient as possible, and
have about a 15% structural gap. I think it's a little high".

COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
a) Mayor Sieglock responded to a recent newspaper article which indicated that the City of
Lodi does not respond quick enough to businesses and proposed a fast-track program
which would formalize current practices in the City of Lodi and let the business
community know that the City wants to go the extra mile in being responsive, reasonable
and friendly. The fast-track program would include the following:
Businesses seeking to locate or expand in Lodi shall receive a response to their
request for information about fees, demographics of the City, etc, in 24 hours.
The Economic Development Coordinator would ensure that the delivery or
response would take place in a timely manner and be very understandable.
2. On a moments notice, members of the City Council, City of Lodi Administration,
department heads and staff will meet with prospective clients to confidentially
discuss projects and methods in which Lodi can and will work with the business
community to facilitate an easy expansion or transition to Lodi;
3. Lodi will budget funds for travel by the Economic Development Coordinator to
attract and retain industry. Moreover, funds will be budgeted for travel to existing
business headquarters in an effort to proactively mitigate problems and/or
departures by business before they occur; and
4. Will continue to formalize the structure of the business visitation program which
was started last year with then Mayor, Phillip Pennino, and the Economic
Development Task Force. That program has proven very effective for local
businesses to communicate with the City.

Mayor Sieglock further commented on the letters and phone calls the City Council has
been receiving regarding the new fee to County residents for parks and recreation
programs. Mr. Sieglock explained that the reason for the fee is in past years the County
would actually give the City a portion of money, roughly $20,000; however, through
various processes last year the City learned that the actual impact of non-residents to
Lodi was in excess of $50,000. The Mayor recommend that the City Council send a
letter to the County Board of Supervisors giving them the opportunity to pay the costs
that the City estimated last year ($50,000) so we do not have to go through this process.
FILE NO. CC -6, CC -40, CC56, CC -72 AND CC -400
b) Council Member Pennino requested that the letter the City Council received regarding a
request for a four-way stop at the intersection of Century Boulevard and Scarborough
Avenue be placed on a future agenda. Mr. Pennino also commented on a letter that was
received by the Lodi Lake Nature Area Docent Council regarding the erosion of the levee
in Pigs Lake and suggested that this matter be put on a future agenda as well.
Further, Council Member Pennino updated the City Council on the actions taken at the
last meeting of the San Joaquin County Council of Governments (COG). Four
park-and-ride lots were funded at the last meeting. One was submitted by the City of
Lodi for the construction of a hundred -space park-and-ride lot located on the corner of
Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane which is being paid for by Measure K
funds. Also approved was a Proposition 116 application for $141,000 to do
environmental and preliminary engineering work for the multi -modal stations which is
being proposed at Lodi, Tracy and Manteca. The California Transportation Commission
has put money aside pending a discussion with Southern Pacific and Union Pacific on
which rail will be serving Amtrak, therefore, holding up the Lodi station for a little while.
COG has been meeting with State officials encouraging them to move forward. Mr.
Pennino also informed the public about a group sponsoring a state-wide initiative from
the planning and conservative league that would add a sales tax on gasoline of about 4%
and encouraged citizens to read the projects carefully before signing. COG voted no on
the matter. I�..

C) Council Member Davenport commented on agenda item #E-6 entitled, "Contract Award
for White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Irrigation System Expansion Pipeline
Project' and stated he just realized that there was a protest filed by the second low
bidder and wondered what happened to the protest.
Public Works Director Ronsko clarified that the protest by the second low bidder had to
do with the low bid contractor's ability to put in cast -in-place pipe versus pre -cast pipe.
The bid indicates that the contractor must have experience. After investigating the
second low bidder's concern, it was confirmed that the low bid contractor does have the
experience required. A letter and the council communication stating this fact was faxed
to the company protesting and they responded that they would not be making a verbal
protest to the City Council this evening.
Further, Council Member Davenport made the following comments: (1) Thanked
everyone for coming to the meeting and to be ever mindful of the gang situation; (2)
Thanked the First United Methodist Church for its invitation to attend Lodi Day on
Sunday, January 30, 1994; (3) Informed the public that the City Manager attended the

Manager if he had a report to give to the Council. Mr. Peterson informed the City Council

are available for viewing; (5) Requested a status report on the golf driving range matter.

City Attorney McNatt indicated that staff met with Mr. Choo and his representative last

proposed lease will be before the City Council in the near future; (6) Informed the public
that on Friday, February 18, 1994 there will be an arbitration hearing for the United
Firefighters of Lodi (UFL) at the Carnegie Forum and encouraged the public to attend; (7)
Again requested that a bi-weekly report be made to the City Council regarding the
activities of the Community Improvement Officer. The City Council did not concur with
this request; (8) Requested a status report on whether or not the City has obtained patrol
cars for the Partners Program. Police Chief Larry Hansen informed the City Council that
it hopes to have three vehicles by the end of March; (9) Relayed a complaint to the
Police Chief from residents on the east side of town that the police are over there enough
during the day, but not enough during the night when they really need them; (10)
Encouraged the public to contact the Council with their concerns regarding the proposed
business license fee adjustment; (11) Informed the public that the City is currently
negotiating with the Lodi Police Officers' Association (LPOA) and with the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW); and (12) Informed the public of the refuse rate
adjustment application received by Sanitary City Disposal Company in which it is
requesting an increase in refuse rates of 8.5%. Mr. Davenport further informed the public
of the audit prepared by KPMG Peat Marwick for Sanitary City Disposal Company and
commented that he feels the City needs a different type of audit because it is not
conclusive. Both of these documents are available for public review.

d) Council Member Mann applauded the Mayor's economic development suggestions and
informed the public that there will be a future meeting dedicated to discussing this matter.
Mr. Mann reminded the City Council that it should not exclusively look at incentives for
new businesses and industry, but to also look at ways to make those existing companies
more profitable.
City Manager Peterson informed the City Council that he made contact with the State of
California to see if there are programs available to assist in the retention of business and
he will be following up with some other contacts.
Further, Mr. Peterson informed the public that the City will begin selling its surplus
parking meters for $65.00 if anyone is interested.

event is now being planned. It is scheduled for May 14, 1994.
Further Mr. Snider commented on a call he received from a downtown business owner
who was concerned about the recent fund-raiser by the local fire districts for the Burn
Unit and the alarm it caused citizens with the sirens and horns. Perhaps if there were
advanced warning next time it would avoid this concern.
FILE NO. CC -16 AND CC -72
