BIDS FOR TREE TRIMMING CONTRACT (POWER
LINE CLEARING) APPROVED

trimming contract for power line clearing and authorized
advertisement for bids.
The Electric Utility Department has utilized a tree
trimming contractor for its line clearing requirements
since November 1988. The current contract was awarded by
the City Council on October 4, 1989 for a one-year period
with provisions for a year-to-year extension up to a
maximum of three additional years. The extension option
will be exhausted at the end of the current fiscal year.
Due to the excellent results the Department has experienced
with this contract service in both significant reduction of
outage time to our customers and the cost effectiveness of
the program, it was recommended that the program be
continued. The bid process is being initiated at this time
=o that a new contract can be in place by the beginning of
the 1993-94 fiscal year, thus maintaining the very
necessary continuity of the tree trimming program.
The specifications have been prepared on a one-year basis
with the option to extend yearly thereafter, at the City's
sole discretion, for a maximum of three years. It is
expected that this contract will provide= -the City with a
three-person crew for twelve months and an additional
two -person crew for approximately four months, including
vehicles, equipment and other expenses for both crews.
This level of activity represents the current effort to
maintain the 130+ circuit miles of overhead transmission
and distribution lines clear of growth on a three-year
cycle.
The bid opening date was set for May 18, 1993.

Many years ago, the City Council approved standardizing the
signal controllers. The controller is the computer that
operates the signal timing. The 'current vendor has changed
ownership many times over the years and the City is not
receiving the support needed to maintain and operate the

changing to another vendor. Sometime in the near future,
staff will be recommending standardizing on contr:'.lers.
This intersection meets the Caltrans signal warrants and is

AUTHORIZED CONTRACT WITH HAM LANE CLINIC,

HEPATITIS B SHOTS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES
CC -34 The City Council authorized Hepatitis B shots for
CC -90 approximately 70 employees through the Ham Lane Clinic,
1235 West Vine Street, Lodi.
The Cal/OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (8CCR 5193)
covers all employees who could be reasonably anticipated as
the result of performing their job duties to have exposure
to blood or other potentially infectious materials. The
purpose of the standard is to limit occupational exposure
to blood and other potentially infectious materials since
any exposure could result in transmission of bloodborne
pathogens which could lead to disease or death. The
standard includes educating and training employees on
routes of exposure, providing employees with personal
protective equipment such as gloves, and providing
9
v Continued Apr: -1 21, 1993
employees with the opportunity to be vaccinated against
Hepatitis B.
City employees who are considered at risk due to their work
duties have attended an hour and a half training session by
the American Red Cross on Blo6dborne Pathogens. The
employees covered are those from the Electric Utility
Department, Parks Division, and the Public Works
Department. These are employees who are either required to
be CPR trained for the job, work in the parks and.pick up
hyperdermic needles, or work in or near raw sewage.
Employees were then given the opportunity to waive the
Hepatitis B shot series by signing a waiver or to sign up
for the series. Approximately 70 Employees have signed up
for the vaccination. The Police and Fire Departments
already have the shot series as part of their safety
program and were therefore not included in the survey.
Staff spoke with representatives from six medical
facilities to obtain costs for the Hepatitis B shot series
and the post -series screening test. Based on the pricing,
availability record keeping capabilities, and on-site
delivery, staff recommended that the City contract with the
Ham Lane Clinic for Hepatitis B shots for an estimated 70
City employees. Once the shots have been administered, the
employees will not need to be vaccinated for possibly five
years and at that time a booster shot may be all that will
be required to maintain the immunization. The cost to the
City will be approximately $9,450 for the three-part shot
series and $1,260 for the post -series screening tests to
ensure that the employees are immune to the Hepatitis B
disease. The total cost will be approximately $10,710.

PROCEEDS INTO THE VEHICLE THEFT
INVESTIGATION FUND APPROVED
CC -6 The City Council authorized the deposit of Police Auction
proceeds from the sale of State -provided motorcycle parts
used in criminal "sting" operations into the. City Vehicle
Theft Investigation fund.
The funds received were contingent upon an agreement with
the California Highway Patrol that they be placed into our
Vehicle Theft Investigation Fund. A memo from Captain
Jerry Adams regarding the matter is shown below:
"Lodi Police Department has been allowed to sell at auction
State -provided motorcycle parts used in criminal sting
operations. The California Highway Patrol provided the
parts through a special program several years ago and in
lieu of returning the items, we were allowed to sell the
parts at public auction contingent on the proceeds being
placed in a special auto theft fund per section 9250.14 of
the California Vehicle Code. A check for $630.00 (...was
received...) from Rodger Earnst Public Auctioneers.
This special account would be similar in nature to the
asset forfeiture fund account with the added stipulation
that the funds be used specifically for auto theft
investigations of some type.
In accordance with the wishes of the CHP, I would ask that
these funds be placed in the special auto theft account."
APPROVED THE LJDI CITY SWIM CLUB POOL
RENOVATION AT THE TOKAY HIGH SCHOOL
CC -90 The City Council approved the Lodi City Swim Club pool

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RESIDENTIAL PERMIT
PARKING IN THE VICINITY OF TOKAY HIGH SCHOOL
RESOLUTION NO. 93-52
CC -48(1) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
CC -150 affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
CC -300 the City Clerk, Mayor Pennino called for the Public Hearing
to consider residential permit parking in the vicinity of
Tokay High School.
The following report was presented by Assistant City
Engineer Prima.
This hearing is to consider the establishment of a
residential permit parking program which would exempt
residents from the on -street parking restrictions in the
residential areas near Tokay High School. Parking is
presently restricted on Dartmoor Circle and portions of
Century Boulevard between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 10:00
a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., on school -lays only.
These restrictions were installed to prevent students from
parking in the residential areas adjacent to the High
School; however, these restrictions also apply to residents
living in these areas. This is not the first request the
City has received to review parking in this area. Through
the complaint process, the Public Works Department has
received two previous requests from residents of Dartmoor
Circle for permit parking. Until now, none of the
residents have followed through by circulating and
returning the petition needed to determine if there was
sufficient resident interest in this program.
The petition most recently circulated was returned to the
City in January 1993, signed by approximately 60°s of the
residents in the area. Our guideline is that 60* of the
residents must be in favor of the program prior to bringing
their request to the Council.
There are currently two types of permit parking programs
existing in- three areas within the City. The first type of
program is being used in residential areas. This program
exempts residents' vehicles from on -street parking
restrictions if they are displaying a valid permit for the
area. Only those residents showing proof from the
17
A"/'
\J Continued April 21, 1993
Department of Motor vehicles that the vehicle in question
is registered to their address will be eligible for a
permit. This prevents nonresidents from acquiring a
permit. The areas where this type of program is in place
are the PCP Cannery area (Zone A), and Lodi High School
vicinity (zone C). The other type of program is being used
in the public parking lots and on -street parking areas in
the downtown areas designated as Zone B parking. Any
vehicle displaying a valid permit is exempt from these
parking restrictions and anyone is allowed to purchase a
Zone B permit.
Enforcement of the existing permit parking areas is
performed by both the Finance and Police departments.
Staff has contacted these departments regarding the
enforcement of parking in the Tokay High School vicinity.
The Finance Department has indica,'--ed that they could only
provide intermittent enforcement of this area. The Police
Department indicated that they can provide enforcement on
an on-call basis. On-call enforcement is the method
currently being used at Lodi High School. To date, the
Police Department has received no complaints regarding this
type of enforcement. The success of on-call enforcement in
the Lodi High School vicinity may be due to the existence
of parking restrictions prior to the implementation of the
permit parking program. Since the conditions at Tokay High
School are similar, on-call enforcement is recommended for
this area.
Discussion/Recommendation: Based on the apparent success
of the permit parking program at the existing locations,
staff has no objection to establishing a residential permit
parking program adjacent to Tokay High School. Staff did
observe that only Dartmoor Circle residents have expressed
interest in this program in the past. For this reason,
staff recommends that the permit parking program be offered
only to residents of Dartmoor Circle. Other residential
uses in the restricted parking areas are four single-family
lots and two apartment complexes located on Century
Boulevard. The four single-family lots were excluded from
the petition in error; however, the petition was only
circulated until the 60% minimum was met.
As indicated to Council at the March 17 meeting, staff has
prepared a study to determine if current permit fees should
be updated to recover the costs to institute a residential
permit parking program since it benefits only certain
residents. Currently, the permit fee in all residential
permit parking areas is $3.00 for a three-year period. In
the Tokay High School vicinity, recommended permit fees
were calculated for both Dartmoor Circle only and for all
residential areas. Section 10.48.030 of the Lodi Municipal
Code states that the Finance Director shall collect a fee
as established from time to time by resolution of the
18
Continued April 21, 1993
Council for each permit issued. The downtown area (Zone B)
is not considered a residential permit parking area and is
not included in the study of residential permit fees. Just
as an informational note, permit fees in the downtown area
were recently increased from $25.00 to $30.00 per quarter.
The costs used to calculate the permit fees are based on
both known and estimated costs. Known costs are materials
and installation of signs and the cost to print permit
stickers. Sign maintenance coats are based on an
eight-year life expectancy and do not includ? initial
signpost installation. Sticker costs are based on the
latest billing received by the City, plus 10* for
processing, and do not include the first-time setup charge
to have a master created for each zone. Permit stickers
for each zone are valid for three years. Estimated costs
consist of those items that are difficult to put an
accurate dollar amount on, such as application processing
and issuance of the permit stickers since they vary
depending on the size of the zone and resident demand for
permits. The cost of application processing and issuance
is based on employees' salary plus overhead assuming it
will take three minutes to issue each permit. The study
assumes that all eligible residents will purchase two
permits. The costs to prepare the study and enforce
parking have not been included in the study.
As shown on an exhibit that was presented to the City
Council, the results of the study indicate the existing
permit fees do not recover the costs expended by the City.
Based on the above estimates and assumptions, costs ranged
from $4.66 to $7.43 per permit, depending on the zone.
Since there is little variance within this range of costs,
and the actual number of permits issued each year will vary
(residents move or buy vehicles), staff recommended that
one permit fee be established for all residential permit
parking zones. This will also simplify the administration
and record keeping of permits. For these reasons, staff
recommended the fees be $5.50 per permit in the Tokay High
School vicinity. At the other two residential areas, the
fees should be increased to $5.50 per permit at time of
renewal. No change was recommended in the three-year
renewal period.
Mayor Pennino opened the hearing tq the public and the
following persons spoke regarding the matter:
1. Everett Meath, 1100 Dartmoor Circle, Lodi
(Mr. Meath presented the City Council with a
letter expressing his feelings on the
subject which is on file in the City Clerk's

McMurlyn voicing their support of the permit, parking
program. There being no one else wishing to speak on the
matter, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
On motion of Council Member Snider, Mann second, the City
Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 93-52 amending
Traffic Resolution No. 87-163 by approving the request of
residents in the vicinity of Tokay High School for
residential parking permits and updating the permit fees.

meeting reconvened at approximately 9:02 p.m.

8.55 acre subdivision containing 28 half-plex lots, 1
triplex lot, 1 four-plex lot and a parcel for future
development.
Community Development Director Schroeder presented the
following report.
The area encompassed by Woodhaven Park was originally
approved as a 133 unit apartment project. The developer
was unable to finance the original project and now wishes
to construct a development with a total of 63 units and a
vacant parcel for future determination. The Planned
Development zoning is requested because in order to
accommodate the proposed units, rear and side yard setbacks
and driveway lengths must be varied. The developer also
20

proposes to encroach into the front yard with an enclosed
patio.
The Planning Commission recommended that P -D(31) conform to
the following conditions:
1. that rear and side yard setbacks.conform to
the requirements of the R -GA, Garden
Apartment Residential District;
2. that the front yard setback be set at 12
feet for enclosed patios;

right-of-way line;
4. that the front yard setback for the main
buildings along the east -west street be
17-1/2 feet from the right-of-way line.
The project is another attempt by the Planning Commission
and the development community to provide affordable
housing. The reduction from 133 units to 63 plus a vacant
parcel have met with the approval of the neighborhood.
The Mayor opened the hearing to the public" and the
following persons spoke regarding the matter:
a) Steve Pechin, 323 West Elm Street, Lodi,

PRESENTATION OF PARKS, RECREATION AND
OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN
CC -6 Prior to discussion regarding this matter, the City
CC -27(c) Attorney made comments regarding the adoption of the Parks,
CC -40 Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. Mr. McNatt
recommended that the Plan not be formally adopted because
it might lead to a conflict with the General Plan and may
require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Instead, the
City Council should look at specific projects and eliminate
the ones it does not want in the Plan.
Parks and Recreation Director Williamson and Jerry Draggoo,
J C Draggoo and Associates, presented the following report.
The City Council hired a master plan consultant and
appointed a master plan citizen committee some eleven
months ago to develop a Park, Recreation and Open Space
Master Plan for the City of Lodi.
The committee submitted the final plan to the Parks and
Recreation Commission on February 2, 1993, for final public
input and Commission recommendations. The Commission has
addressed the plan and its many recommendations and now
submits the plan to the City Council for consideration
and/or adoption. Below are the recommendations from the
Commission excerpted from the Recreatioti Commission minutes
of February 2, 1993:
"Chairman Johnson announced that 'notes' from the Public
Hearing of January 28, 1993 were available to the public
and anyone wishing to address thy• Commission on any new

With the close of public comments, the Commission acted on
the following issues as outlined in the 'notes' of the
Master Plan Public Hearing held January 28, 1993, as
prepared by Superintendent Field.
Nature Area (adjacent to Lodi Lake Park)
Address the need to increase the riparian zone, look at
north side of river. No trail on or to the north side of
the river. Limit bicycles in this area. Control speed on
the river, 'no wake zone' to control bank erosion. Lodi
loop trail as written will funnel too much traffic through
the Nature Area.
Commission recommendations:
° Increase the riparian zone.
Motion carried 5 - 0
° No trail on or to the north side of the
river; eliminate current loop trail
proposal (that addresses a trail on the
north side of the Mokelumne River).
Motion carried 5 - 0
° Create a buffer zone on the north side of
the river.
Motion carried 5 - 0

Control speed on the river.
Motion carried 3 - 2
Scenic Overlook Pronosed Park
Need to address high clean-up costs so parcel can be used
as a park. April 1, 1992, City Council voted not to use
parcel for a park. If kept in the Master Plan, should be
placed at the bottom of the priority list. 'omeowners
still concerned about the access, egress impac-Ang their
subdivision. Plan should specifically spell out how the
park is designed, for what use, how will it be maintained
and supervised.
On a motion by Commissioner Casalegno and a second by
Commissioner Wall, the Commission recommended that we
accept the proposal of a park at the Scenic Overlook site
predicated upon clean-up costs and access/egress being
addressed.
Ayes: Commissioners - Casalegno, Wall, Meyer, Melby,
Johnson
Noes: Commissioners - None
Motion carried 5 - 0
On a motion by Bob Johnson and a second by Chad Meyer, the

Aquatics
Statistics show in the Master Plan that participation
figures are high with regard tc interest in swimming.
Survey results indicated that the community wanted more
swimming. Blakely/Enze pools do ndt address the aquatic
needs of teens and adults (too shallow). Community cannot
rely on accessing the high school pools due to modified
year-round attendance. N.R.P.A. standards should be met.
All future aquatic facilities must comply with current ADA
standards. This community needs more public pools
regardless of the high cost of construction and maintenance.

Hutchins Street Square
Master Plan Consultant reviewed the Master Plan adopted by
the City Council as proposed by the Foundation Boards for
this site, but felt from a cost of land and construction of
a physical center, this would be a good location - to have
all activities at one site. Build -out was based on the
amount of off-street parking needs. Any additions such as
the proposed large indoor recreation center facility would
impact these standards. Any modification or removal of
senior activities from the facilities that were built with
monies from the Holz will would mean the City would have to
return this money under the terms .nd stipulations of said
will.
On a motion by Commissioner Johnson and a second by
Commissioner Meyer, the Commission recommended that the
indoor recreation center not be located at the Hutchins
Street Square.
Ayes: Commissioners - Johnson, Meyer, Melby, wall,

Noes: Commissioners - None
Motion carried 5 - 0
Large Indoor Recreation Center
Concerns were expressed from the Private Sector in relation
co how we would operate this center and the impact it would
have on private industry (specifically the emphasis on
fitness equipment, etc.). Profit margins are slim in
commercial ventures. Belief that such a Center would
eventually put an operation such as Twin Arbors out of
business. When Hutchins Street Square opened the pool,
Twin Arbors felt the impact (100 memberships were lost).
On a motion by Chad Meyer and a second by Elvera Melby, the
Commission recommended a large indoor recreation center be
included in the Plan with the stipulation that the planning
be sensitive to the needs of the private sector, and the
preferred location is Needham School property.

Youth Sports Subsidies
Thought the Community Forums addressed that the level of
support be given to youth sports should not bz reduced.
The community appreciates the level of service. Decrease
subsidies to adult programs and activities but leave the
youth sector alone. Subsidies are necessary for low income
Families, and are really important for the single parent.
On a motion by Chad Meyer and a second by Ed Wall, the
Commission recommended that the portion of the Master Plan
pertaining to youth sport subsidies be deleted (Section
VIII - 42, Item 5) and that this issue be addressed as a
budget item.
Ayes: Commissioners - Meyer, Wall, Johnson, Casalegno,
Melby
Noes: Commissioners - None
Motion carried 5 - 0
Resident - Non -Resident Fees
City should look at establishing resident and non-resident
fees instead of limiting participation to City residents
cnly.
On a motion by Bob Johnson and a second by Ed Wall, the
Commission recommended that the issue of resident and
non-resident fees be retained in the proposed Plan.
Ayes: Commissioners - Johnson, Wall, Melby, Meyer,
Casalegno

Continued April 21, 1993
City Expansion East of 99
Nothing is addressed in the Plan with regard to future
expansion east of 99. City should investigate obtaining
property adjacent to the Mokelumne River (currently owned
by Vacarrezza) as ideal public land.
No recommendations.
Bicycle - Pedestrian Connectors
Schematic drawing of a proposed unit should be looked at
carefully. Currently the City has such or similar items
and has a very difficult time maintaining same. These
corridors become graffiti and debris collectors.
On a motion by Bob Johnson and a second by Elvera Melby,
the Commission recommended that the proposed bicycle -
pedestrian connectors remain in the proposed Master Plan.
Ayes: Commissioners - Johnson, Melby, Casalegno, Wall,
Meyer
Noes: Commissioners - None
Motion carried 5 - 0
Bicycle Paths on Streets
Proposed paths would necessitate eliminating on -street
parking on some of the named streets.
On a motion by Bob Johnson and a second by Elvera Melby,
the Commission recommended that the Plan include bicycle
paths on streets through the use of signs or lines, and
attempt to work out any needs and concerns voiced by the
City Public Works Department.

ones used in Europe (particularly Frt-:ice and Italy).
On a motion by Elvera Melby and a second by Chad Meyer, the
Commission recommended that restrooms should be included in
all neighborhood parks as the park is developed, such
restrooms to comply with ADA standards.

Noes: Commissioners - None
Motion carried 5 - 0"
Presented to the City Council was an exhibit from Mr.
Draggoo which answered the Parks and Recreation Commissions
recommendations as shown above and an exhibit updating
materials/changes to the plan in general.
It was requested that the City Council review and adopt the
plan (remember, this represents the future and cannot and
will not be implemented until development impact fees are
collected and/or grants become available). This is a
long-range plan that gives us specific direction.
Bob Johnson, Chairperson, Parks and Recreation Cormission,
presented a brief report on the plan and an overview of the
Commission's recommendations of the February 2, 1993
meeting.
Also presented to the City Council were handouts listing
project costs; estimate of cost improvements to implement
the plan; and "Notes for Discussion --Public Open Survey
r::equency Observations" by Walp and Moore, all on file in
the City Clerk's office.
For ease in discussion of this matter, the plan was
separated into nine separate issues and discussed
individually as shown below:
ISSUE #1: Should the City Develop the Waterfront Park
Known as Scenic Overlook?
Background: 1. There is some concern about hazardous
waste on the site. No one knows for
sure if this is true. If so, how
serious of a problem is it?
2. The Parks and '.recreation Commission
recommended this site for recreation
31
4 Continued I_or: 1 21, 1993
use but felt that a survey on hazardous
waste should occur.
Options: 1. Deny site for recreation use.
2. Approve site for recreation use.
3. Approve with conditions.
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
i. Pat Velasquez, 1061 Awani Drive, Lodi (Mr.
Velasquez turned in a petition in response
to potential development of .Mokelumne
village Scenic Overlook --old City dump --as
public access to the Mokelumne River, which
is on file in the City Clerk's office);
2. Steve Tarbuck, 302 Mokelumne River Drive,
Lodi;
3. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi; and
4. Robert Lawson, 1924 Collette, Lodi.
4
On motion of Council Member Sieglock, Snider second, the
City Council unanimously voted to remove this item from the
Master Plan.
ISSUE 42: Should the City Develop an Off/On-Street Trails
System?
Background: 1. The Plan recommends a system of
on -street and off-street trails. The
exact location of a trail will be
determined at the time of development
of the specific area. There are many
options for locating trails but it is
assumed that some trails will be
located at the rear of properties.
2. The issue needs to be resolved as to
how the land will be acquired and who
will pay for trail development. Right
now it is assumed that the developer
would dedicate the land, but the City
would be responsible for developing the
trails.
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
1. Jeff Kirst, 109 River Meadows Drive, Lodi
(Mr. Kirst presentee a letter to the City
Council expressing his opposition to
off-road bicycle and pedestrian paths, which
is on file in the City Clerk's office);
32
Continued April 21, 1993
2. Pat Stocker, P.O. Box 673, Victor,
California;
3. Anders Christensen, 18777 North Lower
Sacramento Road, representing the Woodbridge
Irrigation District;'
4. Captain Larry Hansen, Lodi Police Department;
S. Steve Pechin, 323 West Elm Street, Lodi;
6. Evelyn Olson, 1306 Burgundy Court, Lodi; and
7. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi.
Assistant City Engineer Prima answered questions regarding
the matter.
Following a lengthy discussion, the City Council, on motion
of Mayor Pennino, Mann second, unanimously approved the
concept of foot and bike trails in the Master Plan with
this matter to be brought back to the City Council.
ISSUE #3: Should the City Continue to Serve Non -Residents?
Background: 1. This issue only applies to sport fields.
2. We have identified a strategy for
funding the non-resident fields. If
the non-residents choose to not partic-
ipate, then what should the City do?
3. It is believed that the City should go
on the record as approving or
disapproving the concept of charging
the non-resident and then leave the
specifics of how and how much to the
Parks and Recreation Commission and
City Administration.
Council Member Snider commented that he had an opportunity
to attend the Public Hearing in Lockeford regarding the
proposed Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
concerning non-resident fees on March 8, 1993. Most people
who had attended said they would bei willing to pay a fee
that is "fair"; however, what is considered "fair"?
Speaking on the matter was Steve Pechin, 323 West Elm
Street, Lodi.
On motion of Council Member Sieglock, Snider second, the
City Council unanimously voted to include in the Master
Plan to continue to serve non-residents with the option to
explore the possibility of a higher fee.
33
Continued April 21, 1993
ISSUE #4: Should the City Develop an Indoor Recreation
Center?
Council Member Snider abstained from discussion and voting
on this matter due to a conflict of interest.
Background: 1. There is a major need in. Lodi for
gymnasium space and places to conduct
recreation programs.
2. It is the consultant's opinion that the
facility would not compete against the
private clubs and would not run at a
deficit at the level suggested at the
Shirtsleeve Session of April 20, 1993.
3. A sample drawing of the proposed
facility was available for viewing.
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
1. Dennis Kaufman, 1914 Columbard, Lodi,
representing Twin Arbors Athletic Club (who
presented the City Council with a letter
opposing a recreation center in Lodi, which
is on file in the City Clerk's office);
2. Ben Schaffer, 207 River Oaks Drive, Lodi;
3. Dennis Bennett, 1225 Rivergate Drive, Lodi,
representing the Old Lodi Union High School
Site Foundation, presented a letter urging
the Council's suppert of completing the
Hutchins Street Square;
4. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi;
5. Reverend Harmon Skillin, 150 South Pleasant
Avenue, Lodi;
6. Dave Akin, 2350 Rockingham Circle, Lodi;
7. Ed Wall, 1026 Port Chelsea, Lodi,
representing the Parks and Recreation
Commission; and
8. Virginia Lahr, 311 East Elm Street, Lodi.
From the comments above, concern was expressed why Hutchins
Street Square could not be used as a recreation center,
rather than building a new facility.
On motion of Mayor Pennino, Davenport second, the City
Council unanimously voted to include the indoor recreation
34
Continued April 21, 1993
center in the Master Plan, and to add Hutchins Street
Square to the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan.
ISSUE #5: Where Should the Recreation Center Be Located?
Comments: The original Plan recommended Hutchins
Street Square. The Parks and Recreation
Commission recommended Needham School.
The City Council removed this issue and did not vote on the
matter.
ISSUE #6: Should the City's Master Plan Include a Swimminu
Pool?
Background: 1. The consultant did not recommend
another pool because of the existence
of four swimming areas.
2. Testimony was presented at the .Parks
and Recreation Commission that a pool
was needed on the west side.
3. The consultant added the word "indoor"
because he felt there was more of•a
need for an indoor pool than an outdoor
pool.
options: 1. Recommend an indoor pool.
2. Recommend an outdoor pool.
3. Make no recommendation for a pool.
4. Make a recommendation for a pool but
not specify the type.
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
1. John Griffin, 783 Palm Avenue, Lodi; and
2. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi.
Following discussion regarding the matter, the City
Council, on motion of Council Member Snider, Pennino
second, unanimously voted to include a swimming pool in the
Master Plan, but not specify the type.
ISSUE #7_:_ What Should Happen To the North Side of the
Mokelumne River?
Comments: The Plan recommends that the City (or
County) acquire the development rights to a
50 - 100 foot strip along the north bank of
the river. Since a trail within this area
was eliminated, the strip would become open
space only and not a park.
35
/jam
Continued Apr-%% 21, 1993
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
1. Pat Stocker, P.O. Box 763, Victor,
California; and
2. Anders Christensen, 18777 North Lower
Sacramento Road, representing the.Woodbridge
Irrigation District.
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pennino, Davenport
second, the City Council unanimously determined it would
not acquire development rights with the north side and that
it would work closely with the north bank owners to discuss
options.
ISSUE #8: When the Plan is Adopted, Will It Change the
Impact Fee Level?
Background: The amount of improvements shown in the Plan
dedicated to impact fees is the same as what
was originally proposed. The amount of land
to be acquired/dedicated by developers is
also the same amount.
Speaking on the matter was Steve Pechin, 323 West Elm
Street, Lodi. Assistant City Engineer Prima responded to
Mr. Pechin's comments that the impact fee level cannot be
changed except by inflation level.
The City Council determined it would remove this item and
not vote on the matter at this time.
ISSUE #9: Do You Agree With the Priority of Improvements
Shown on the Table on Page IX -6?
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
1. Scott Essin, Parks Superintendent, City of
Lodi;
2. Bob Johnson, Chairperson, Recreation
Commission; and
3. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi.
Due to the fact that some of the items had been
removed/amended, it was determined that it would not be
prudent at this time to approve a priority list; therefore,
this item was removed and not voted on.
Following further discussion, it was determined that there
was a need for additional meetings regarding the Parks,
Recreation and Open Space Master Plan and the City Council
will schedule same for future Shirtsleeve Session(s).

PEACH STREET IMPROVEMENTS, COCHRAN ROAD TO
TOKAY STREET kPPROVED
CC -6 Assistant City Engineer Prima presented the following
CC -45(e) report.
This project was prompted by testimony from area residents
during the public hearings on the expansion of the Twin
Arbors Athletic Club on Cochran Road. School children and
others walk on Peach Street between the residential area
south of Tokay Street to Vinewood School and Park. Peach
Street was already developed with homes when it was annexed
many years ago. Shortly after annexation, an assessment
40
Continued April 21, 1993
district was formed to install only water and sewer lines
for the homes. The street is approximately 24 feet wide
with no shoulder improvements. Many residents felt this
was a hazard to pedestrians and bicyclists. Prior to
starting the design of the project, staff wished to notify
the residents and review the project with the Council.
Three improvement options have been identified:
1. This option includes installing new curb,
gutter, sidewalk and pavir. g on tf.e east
side, and installing four street lights on
Peach Street.
2. This option includes paving and a raised
curb on the east shoulder of Peach Street to
provide drainage and a walkway. Street
lights are also included in the estimate.
3. This option includes reconstructing pavement
with asphalt concrete and new base,
installing new curb, gutter, and sidewalk on
both sides of the street, and installing
street lights.
Estimates for each option are shown below.
PEACH STREET IMPROVEMENT ESTIMATES
1. Improve East Side

Total: $73,000 $88.00
(1)based on 415 feet of frontage on the east side of Peach
Street
(2)based on 830 feet of frontage on both sides of Peach
Street
Estimates include 10V for engineering and 20V
contingencies.
Although 3,000 square feet of asphalt will eventually be
replaced with curb, gutter and sidewalk in Option 2, this
was the option being recommended.
The 1992/93 Street Capital Improvement Program, approved by
the Council last year, included $23,000 for Option 2.
Since the improvements under Options 1 and 3 are normally
borne by the property owner, staff felt it was
inappropriate to recommend additional taxpayer funding for
these improvements. In addition, three of the four curb
return installations will require additional right-of-way.
If Option 2 is selected by the Council, it will be
necessary that the east side of Peach Street be designated
a "no -parking" zone to be implemented upon completion of
the improvements. A resolution will be required for
establishment of the "no -parking" zone.
Following discussion regarding the matter, the City
Council, on motion of Council Member Snider, Pennino
second, unanimously approved applying the appropriation of
$23,000 from the 1992/93 Street Capital Improvement
Program, approved by the Council last year, for Option 2
toward the cost of the permanent improvements under Options
1 or 3, with the property owners to pay the difference.
This offer is to be made to both sides of the street.
Staff was directed to contact the property owners and bring
the project back to the Council at a later date.

YOUTH TASK FORCE ESTABLISHED
CC -2(t) At its regular meeting of April 7, 1993 the City Council
heard a presentation by Mr. Rick Souza, President, Lodi
Unified School District Board of Trustees, regarding the
establishment of a Youth Task Fofce. Mr. Souza and Mayor
Pennino jointly prepared a report on this matter.which was
presented at the April 7 meeting.
On motion of Council Member Mann, Pennino second, the City
Council unanimously approved the establishment .: a Youth
Task Force.
RESOLUTION APPROVED OPPOSING PRESIDENT
CLINTON'S PROPOSED ENERGY TASK PLAN
RESOLUTION NO. 93-54
CC -51(d) In February of this year, President Clinton outlined as
CC -109 part of his proposed budget an energy tax or "BTU" tax on
CC -300 various energy sources. As described, the tax would apply
„ (among other things) to gas, coal, oil, and nuclear energy
generation, as well as hydro facilities. Solar,
geothermal, and biomass generation would be exempt. The
proceeds would be earmarked for earned income tax credits,
food stamps, low income home energy assistance programs,
and to reduce the deficit.
Because of the speed with which the proposal is being
handled, and the continual changes that have occurred, the
most current information the City Attorney could obtain is
now approximately 6 weeks old. While the accuracy cannot
be guaranteed, presented to Council was an estimate
prepared by the American Public Power Association on the
measure and its likely impacts on retail price of
electricity. Some of the estimates (nuclear,hydro) have
not been completed as yet, but Mr. McNatt was informed that
there will be regional adjustments included to even out the
effect of the tax on various parts of the United States.
For example, a higher tax on hydroelectric generation would
be imposed in the Northwest where it is most common, and
coal-fired plants in the East and Midwest would be subject
to a higher tax.
In addition, the measure would also impose various taxes on
gasoline, home heating oil, etc., but the City Attorney was
unable to obtain further information on those points.
It has been proposed that the City Council adopt a
Resolution in opposition to this measure.
On motion of Council Member Mann, Snider second, the City
Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 93-54 entitled,

PURCHASE OF POLICE PATROL VEHICLES APPROVED
RESOLUTION NC.S, 93-48 AND 93-50
CC -6 This purchase was split into two different resolutions.
CC -90 One awarded the purchase of three police patrol sedans to
CC -300 Geweke Ford (Resolution No. 93-48) and the other awarded
the purchase and installation of emergency equipment and
purchase of repairs and parts manuals (Resolution No.
93-50). Council Member Mann abstained from discussion and
voting on Resolution No. 93-48 due to a conflict of
interest.
Dennis Callahan presented the following report.
Three police patrol sedans were included in the 1992/93
fiscal year budget. The patrol vehicle we now use is the
Ford Crown Victoria four -door sedan, CHP Special Service
Vehicle. On March 5, 1993, bids were opened by the State
of California, Department of General Services, Office of
Procurement, for the CHP Special Service Vehicle, Class E.
The low :bidder was Downtown Ford with a base price of
$13,564 each. The car is the Crown Victoria four -door
sedan. With the options that the City of Lodi needs to
hatch with the patrol vehicles already in service, the
total cost per vehicle, if purchased through Downtown Ford,
is $16,859.02, including tax.
Geweke Ford, the local dealer for the Ford Crown Victoria,
can obtain the identical vehicles, including options, at a
cost of $16,961.47 per vehicle, including tax.
r
San Joaquin County is purchasing their 1993 Crown Victorias
through Geweke Ford without going through the formal bid
process. The Council should consider the 1t local sales
tax credit of $157.42 per car.
The manufacturer's deadline for placing an order is April
28, 1993, whether purchased through the Office of
Procurement (Downtown Ford) or Geweke Ford, so an immediate
decision by the Council is necessary.
Additionally, because the Dodge Diplomats we used for ten
years are no longer in production, there are emergency
equipment costs of $4,193 per car necessary to equip each
car for service; i.e., back seat, protective screen,
shotgun rack, radio rack, push bumper, etc. This equipment
will not be installed by either Downtown Ford or Geweke
Ford; it was included - in the 12 Equipment Fund account
budget number listed below.
44
Continued April 21, 1993
The Police Vehicle Committee's recommendation is that the
Council authorize the ordering of three 1993 Ford Crown
Victoria four -door sedans, plus options to meet the State
of California specifications, from either Geweke Ford or
Downtown Ford, and that the Council also approve an
additional $12,560 for purchase and installation of safety
and emergency equipment, lights, sirens, etc., as.necessary
to completely equip the cars, and adopt the appropriate
resolution for the purchase.

employees will not need to be vaccinated for possibly five years and at that time a booster shot may be all that
be required to maintain the immunization. The cost to the City will be approximately $9,450 for the three
shot series and $1,260 for the post -series screening tests to ensure that the employees are immune to the Hep
B disease. The total cost will be approximately $10,710.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PAP -KING IN THE VICINITY OF TOKAY HIGH SCHOOL
RESOLUTION NO. 93-52
CC -48(1) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
CC -150 affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
CC -300 the City Clerk, Mayor Pennino called for the Public Hearing to consider residential permit parking in the vic
of Tokay High School.
The following report was presented by Assistant City Engineer Prima.
This hearing is to consider the establishment of a residential permit parking program which would ex
residents from the on -street parking restrictions in the residential areas near Tokay High School. Parki
presently restricted on Dartmoor Circle and portions of Century Boulevard between the hours of 9:00 a.j
10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., on school -lays only. These restrictions were installed to pr(
students from parking in the residential areas adjacent to the High School; however, these restrictions also
to residents living in these areas. This is not the first request the City has received to review parking in this
Through the complaint process, the Public Works Department has received two previous requests from resin
of Dartmoor Circle for permit parking. Until now, none of the residents have followed through by circul
and returning the petition needed to determine if there was sufficient resident interest in this program.
The petition most recently circulated was returned to the City in January 1993, signed by approximately 6
of the residents in the area. our guideline is that 60ir of the residents must be in favor of the program pri
bringing their request to the Council.
There are currently two types of permit parking programs existing in three areas within the City. The first
of program is being used in residential areas. This program exempts residents' vehicles from on -street parkii
restrictions if they are displaying a valid permit for the
area. Only those residents showing proof from the
17
Continued Apzil 21, 1993
Department of Motor Vehicles that the vehicle in question is registered to their address will be eligible for a
permit. This prevents nonresidents from acquiring a
permit. The areas where this type of program is in place
are the PCP Cannery area (Zone A), and Lodi High School vicinity (Zone Q. The other typo of program is being used in the public parking lots and on -
parking areas in the downtown areas designated as Zone B parking. Any vehicle displaying a valid permit is exempt from these parking restrictions and any(
allowed to purchase a Zone B permit.
Enforcement of the existing permit parking areas is performed by both the Finance and Police departments. Staff has contacted these departments regardir
enforcement of parking in the Tokay High School vicinity. The Finance Department has indica@_-ed that they could only provide intermittent enforcement c
area. The Police Department indicated that they can provide enforcement on an on-call basis. On-call enforcement is the method currently being used at Lodi
School. To date, the Police Department has received no complaints regarding this type of enforcement. The success of on-call enforcement in the Lodi High S
vicinity may be due to the existence of parking restrictions prior to the implementation of the permit parking program. Since the conditions at Tokay High Scho
similar, on-call enforcement is recommended for this area.
Discussion/Recommendation: Based on the apparent success of the permit parking program at the existing locations, staff has no objection to establish
residential permit parking program adjacent to Tokay High School. Staff did observe that only Dartmoor Circle residents have expressed interest in this progr
the past. For this reason, staff recommends that the permit parking program be offered only to residents of Dartmoor Circle. Other residential uses in the rest
parking areas are four single-family lots and two apartment complexes located on Century Boulevard. The four single-family lots were excluded from the petit
error; however, the petition was only circulated until the 60%- minimum was met.
As indicated to Council at the March 17 meeting, staff has prepared a study to determine if current permit fees should be updated to recover the costs to insti
residential permit parking program since it benefits only certain residents. Currently, the permit fee in all residential permit parking areas is $3.00 for i three
period. In the Tokay High School vicinity, recommended permit fees were calculated for both Dartmoor Circle only and for all residential areas. Section 10.4
of the Lodi Municipal Code states that the Finance Director shall collect a fee as established from time to time by resolution of the
18
Continued April 21, 1993
Council for each permit issued. The downtown area (Zone B) is not considered a residential permit parking area and is not included in the study of residential p
fees. Just as an informational note, permit fees in the downtown area were recently increased from $25.00 to $30.00 per quarter.
The costs used to calculate the permit fees are based on both known and estimated costs. Known costs are materials and installation of signs and the cost to
permit stickers. Sign maintenance costs are based on an eight-year life expectancy and do not includ? initial signpost installation. Sticker costs are based c
latest billing received by the City, plus lot for processing, and do not include the first-time setup charge to have a master created for each zone. Permit sticke
each zone are valid for three years. Estimated costs consist of those items that are difficult to put an accurate dollar amount on, such as application processin,
issuance of the permit stickers since they vary depending on the size of the zone and resident demand for permits. The cost of application processing and issual
based on employees' salary plus overhead assuming it will take three minutes to issue each permit. The study assumes that all eligible residents will purchas
permits. The costs to prepare the study and enforce parking have not been included in the study.
As shown on an exhibit that was presented to the City Council, the results of the study indicate the existing permit fees do not recover the costs expended by the
Based on the above estimates and assumptions, costs ranged from $4.66 to $7.43 per permit, depending on the zone. Since there is little variance within this rar
costs, and the actual number of permits issued each year will vary (residents move or buy vehicles), staff recommended that one permit fee be established f
residential permit parking zones. This will also simplify the administration and record keeping of permits. For these reasons, staff recommended the fees be
per permit in the Tokay High School vicinity. At the other two residential areas, the fees should be increased to $5.50 per permit at time of renewal. No chang
recommended in the three-year renewal period.

PRESENTATION OF PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN
CC -6 Prior to discussion regarding this matter, the city
CC -27(c) Attorney made comments regarding the adoption of the Parks,
CC -40 Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. Mr. McNatt
recommended that the Plan not be formally adopted because it might lead to a conflict with the General Plar

eliminate the ones it does not want in the Plan.

report.
The City Council hired a master plan consultant and appointed a master plan citizen committee some eleven me

public input and Commission recommendations. The Commission has addressed the plan and its i
recommendations and now submits the plan to the City Council for consideration and/or adoption. Below ar

Aquatics
Statistics show in the Master Plan that participation figures are high with regard to interest in swimming. Survey results indicated that the community wanted
swimming. Blakely/Enze pools do nc3t address the aquatic needs of teens and adults (too shallow). Community cannot rely on accessing the high school poo]
to modified year-round attendance. N.R.P.A. standards should be met. All future aquatic facilities must comply with current ADA standards. This community
more public pools regardless of the high cost of construction and maintenance.
