ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS AT 1301 EAST VINE STREET RESOLUTION NO. 92-100 CC -46 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-100 accepting CC -300 the development improvements for 1301 East Vine Street. The City Council was advised that the improvements at 1301 East Vine Street have been completed in substantial conformance with the requirements of the Improvement Agreement between the City of Lodi and MCP Investments, dated July 11, 1989, as shown on Drawings No. 88D101 through 88D104, and as specifically set forth in the plans and specifications approved by the City Council.

RENEWAL OF JANITORIAL CONTRACT FOR VARIOUS CITY FACILITIES WITH KOREAN BUILDING MAINTENANCE APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 92-101 CC -90 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-101 renewing the CC -300 janitorial contract for various City facilities to Korean Building Maintenance for $100,000.00. Janitorial duties in the Public Safety Building, Carnegie Forum, Municipal Service Center, City Hall, Hutchins Street Square, and Parks and Recreation offices are carried out by a contract janitorial service. Korean Building Maintenance has maintained a portion of these facilities since July 1, 1984. Additional square footage and janitorial responsibilities have been added over the years as City facilities have expanded and been remodeled. On June 5, 1991, in order that other commercial cleaning firms be able to be considered, the City Council approved updated specifications and authorized advertising for bids. Bids were -opened on June 18, 1991 and four bids were received. Korean Building Maintenance was the low bidder at $5,950.00 per month, or $70,000.00 per year. The second low bidder was Robert's Building Maintenance at $9,815.68 per month, or $117,788.16 per year. The difference between these two bidders was almost $48,000.00 per year. Korean Building Maintenance has proposed to contract janitorial services for the 1992/93 fiscal year at 2 Continued June 3, 1992 $100,000.00. Although that appears to be a large increase (15t), it is only slightly over what we paid for the same janitorial services in 1990/91 (at $86,700) because it now includes additional square footage and cleaning requirements at Hutchins Street Square, the Parks and Recreation administration building, trailer, and annex, and adds White Slough to the list of facilities maintained. Primarily, the cleaning responsibilities have remained the same as in previous years, but these few additions/changes should be approved as an addendum to the contract: A) Parks and Recreation offices and annex shall be cleaned three times per week, with the tile areas mopped weekly, waxed bimonthly, and windows washed quarterly. B) Bins at Hutchins Street Square and Parks and Recreation facilities, containing paper for recycling, must be emptied as required. C) Janitorial services for the White Slough Administrative/Control Building have been added at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Duties shall be the same as specified for Municipal Service Center (Sections 5.4-5 and 5.4-6). D) The Animal Shelter office area shall be cleaned twice per week per Section 5.4-6. E) At Hutchins Street Square, the Kitchen and North Hall must be serviced six days per week. Because the proposed annual cost for janitorial services is still significantly under last year's second low bid (by approximately $18,000.00), it is recommended the Council renew the contract with Korean Building Maintenance rather than rebid at this time.

Community Development Director Schroeder stated that Mr. Skipton had filed the following variance application request regarding his property located at 1617 Fallbrook Way, Lodi. VARIANCE APPLICATION REQUEST We would like to build a two -car garage on the south end of our property. This garage would be 26' wide X 22' deep. Due to the configuration of the cul-de-sac, the majority of the circle is taken from our side of the street. This limits the area available for our use. Our lot measures 7915" on the north end, 130' across the west side, and 461711 on the south end of the lot. The garage would set 5' from the south boundary, 5' from the west boundary and 20' from the sidewalk on the front of the property at the narrowest end. The purpose of building this garage is to allow us to convert the existing garage into a family room/den. Approval of the Variance is needed because the current laws state that a new building must be at least 10' from the back property line. We would need to be 5' from the back E Continued June 3, 1992 property line for the garage to be used for normal sized vehicles. Because of the location of the new garage it would not in any way interfere with anyone else's property.

Speaking on behalf of his appeal was Mr. Gary L. Skipton, 1617 Fallbrook Way, Lodi. Also addressing the City Council regarding the matter was Ngujen To Can, P. O. Box 9077, Stockton. There being no other persons in the audience wishing to speak on the matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
