November 8, 1994 General Municipal Election and suggested that this matter be placed
on a future agenda. Council Member Pennino indicated that he spoke with the City
Attorney on this matter, and he is not in favor of the committee, which is an arm of the
City government, sponsoring a forum such as this, unless it is done individually and not
as a committee. Council Member Davenport stated he would still like to see this on a
future agenda; (3) Informed the public that the budget process is ongoing and
encouraged the public to look at the budget document. Mr. Davenport informed the
public that the City Council has already conducted two Shirtsleeve Sessions on the

recommended budget cuts from the City Manager. Council Member Davenport further
suggested the following matters that would help the budget: a) Offer the Golden
Handshake to the City Manager and Assistant City Manager; b) Combine the Finance
Department with the City Manager's Office and make Finance Director Dixon Flynn the
City Manager; c) Eliminate the Economic Development Coordinator position; d) Appoint
the current Police Chief as the Public Safety Director who would oversee both the Police
and Fire Departments; e) Look at placing Hutchins Street Square under the responsibility
of the Parks and Recreation Department and maybe give control to the Old Lodi Union
High School Site Foundation; and 0 Look at where we are with the Proposition 172
funds; (4) Received letter signed by seven people regarding the Library; (5) Received

Neighborhood Watch Program; (6) Received complaints from elderly citizens who have

owners for cleaning up after their dogs. The City Attorney will look into the matter; and
(8) Reminded citizens that terms are expiring on various boards and commission at the
end of June/beginning of July and urged citizens to apply.

8. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
a) Barbara McWilliams, Posers TVs and Radios, 208 South School Street, Lodi,

business recently as a result of a burglary. The response time was quick, the
merchandise has been returned and one suspect has already been caught. Ms.
McWilliams hopes the Council will consider both the Police and Fire Departments during
the budget times. Ms. McWilliams attributes the quick response of the Police
Department to the City -monitored silent alarm system.

in the Stockton Record regarding the graffiti vandals that were caught in a police sting
who thought they were appearing in a TV documentary. Mr. Cochran stated that the
press and the police are not the same and anything that "blurs that distinction
undermines the Bill of Rights".

withdrawn its request to sponsor a candidates' forum and it will be taking the matter back
to its committee. There is no need to put this matter on a future agenda.
FILE NO. CC -2(s) AND CC -18
d) Frank Winston, General Manager of the Comfort Inn, 118 North Cherokee Lane, Lodi,
praised the Police and Fire Departments as well. Mr. Winston indicated he had mixed
emotions about Council Member Davenport's comments: it is not good to "boot out" the
City Manager and Assistant City Manager, instead we need to keep this "seasoned team"
for their expertise, especially during these tough budget times. Mr. Winston felt that
there are funds that are already earmarked for certain projects which should not be done
when those funds can be used to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements instead. Mr. Winston expressed his support for keeping the Police and Fire
Departments, the Economic Development Coordinator and the Parks and Recreation
Department and its programs.
FILE NO. CC -21(b)
e) Brian Ochoa, Lodi resident, hopes that the budget will include the hiring of three fire
fighters and the building of a fire station on the west side, because this issue is important
to the health and safety of the residents, regardless of the cost.
