FUNDS APPROPRIATED FOR LEASE OF BECKKAN
BUILDING, 212 WEST PINE STREET
CC -14(a) The City Council appropriated $59,910 to account
CC -21(a) 10-351.01-321, City Building Maintenance, Rent of
CC -27(b) Buildings, to pay for the lease of the Beckman Building.
Council also authorized the transfer of` $59,900 from
account 121.0-350.61 to the General Fund to fund this
appropriation.
2
Continued Septeaaber 2, 1992
The City Council has authorized the City Manager to sign a
lease agreement with Marlow Stark to lease the Beckman
Building, 212 West Pine Street, for a cost of $4,992.40 per
month.
No funds have been appropriated for this lease. The lease
agreement has been signed and the first year's rent has
been paid in the amount of $59,908.80. Therefore we must
appropriate funds for this purpose.
The City has appropriated funds for the expansion and
remodel of the City Hall complex. The lease of the Beckman
Building is in lieu of purchase. Therefore it seems
appropriate to use those funds for this purpose.
For consistency of our accounting records we should not
show lease payments being made from Capital Funds.
Therefore staff recommended that the lease payments be
appropriated in the operating account of City Buildings and
the funding be transferred from Capital Funds to the
General Fund.

ITEM REMOVED FROM AGENDA
Agenda item #F-6 entitled, "Revise fees paid to City Cab

1992-93 TAX RATE FOR BOND INTEREST AND REDEMPTION
RESOLUTION NO. 92-150
CC -177 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-150 establishing
CC -300 the 1992-93 tax rate for bond interest and redemption at
1.5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
The City Council was apprised that it will be necessary to
set a property tax rate for 1992-93 in order to return
sufficient funds to pay City of Lodi's annual debt
service. The debt service is for the bonds authorized by
the voters in 1965.
The 1992-93 net secured roll for Lodi is estimated to be
$2,043,614,723. The tax rate needed to generate sufficient
funds for bond debt service is calculated to be 1.5 cents
per $100 of assessed value. This rate includes an
allowance for delinquent payments and an adjustment for
increased prior year revenue. The rate is a decrease of
.03 cents from the previous year.

MEMBERSHIP IN PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT
SYSTEM PUBLIC AGENCY COALITION (PERS PAC)
RESOLITTION NO. 92-151
CC -6 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-151 approving
CC -34 City membership in the Public Employees' Retirement System
CC -300 Public Agency Coalition (PERS PAC).
The City Council was advised that many public agencies
throughout the State contract with the Public Employees
Retirement System (PERS) for retirement benefits
administration. In the past, employers have had little or
no representation with PERS decision-making authority. The
PERS Public Agency Coalition has been formed by the League
of California Cities, the California State Association of
Counties (CSAC) and special districts throughout the State
for two major purposes:
1. To enhance the representation of employer
interests before the Public Employees
Retirement System (PERS) Board of
Administration and the' Legislature on PERS
retirement issues; and
2. To provide an improved information base to
participants on PERS and other retirement
related issues.
In its first year of operation, PERS PAC has been involved
in: developing retirement proposals to.ease the impact of
anticipated budget cuts, stricter disability retirement
standards for employees who are still employable within the
member agency; and, establishing "golden handshake"
provisions for early retirements in the event of a
reduction in force. These issues will become increasingly
important as Lodi and other agencies face the new economic
realities of State budget reductions and decreasing
revenues.
The cost of membership in PERS PAC is $750.00 per fiscal
year.

CONTRACT AWARD FOR ABOVEGROUND VAULTED
FUEL STORAGE TANK, 125 NORTH STOCKTON
STREET
RESOLUTION NO. 92-153
CC -12(a) The City Council adopted the Resolution No. 92-153 awarding
CC -300 the contract for the Aboveground Vaulted Fuel Storage Tank,
125 North Stockton Street to SEMCO in the amount of
$14,543.65.
This project consists of furnishing and installing a double
500 gallon (500/500) capacity steel fuel tank contained in
a concrete vault. The work shall also consist of
furnishing and installing tank accessories and pump, slab,
posts, seismic restraints and other incidental and related
work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the
above project.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on
August 5, 1992. The City received the five bids listed
below for this project.
Bidder
Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $15,350.00
*SEMCO Modesto $14,543.65
**Stockton Service Station Equip. Co., Inc. Stockton $15,700.00
Falcon Energy Associates Stockton $15,986.46
Herbst Engineering, Inc. Sacramento $18,505.00
*HRM Plumbing Co., Inc. Stockton $29,281.00
*No additional information submitted.
**No additional information submitted and did not sign bid.
There were two bidding informalities/irregularities which
should be mentioned. The informality concerned
submittals. The specifications for this fuel tank were
written to be generic in nature. This would allow most of
5
Continued September 2, 1992
the major manufacturers of tanks to bid. In order to
evaluate their bid proposals, we asked the bidders to
submit, with their proposals, copies of the manufacturer's
catalog sheets for the major equipment components they
would be providing. Three of the five bidders failed to
submit the additional information with their bid, including
the low bidder. Since the purpose of the additional
information was to identify proposals with nonconforming
equipment, the low bidder was contacted and asked to supply
the additional information. The low bidder faxed copies of
catalog sheets to us for evaluation. The equipment the low
bidder proposes conforms to the specifications and is
acceptable.
The irregularity is that the second lowest bidder, along
with failing to submit additional information, also failed
to sign their bid. The City Attorney has stated that
unsigned bids are not proper bids and therefore
unacceptable.
It is our opinion that the omission of the additional
e information with the bid provided no material advantage to
the low bidder and is insignificant in nature. Staff
therefore recommended awarding the contract to SEMCO in the
amount of $14,543.65. If the Council disagrees with this
recommendation, it was suggested that all bids be rejected
and this contract be readvertised for new bids.
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION AMENDMENTS -
GARFIELD STREET AT OAK STREET,
INTERSECTION CONTROL
RESOLUTION NO. 92-154
CC -48(a) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-154 amending
CC -300 the Traffic Resolution #87-163 to approve switching the
location of the traffic control from Garfield Street to Oak
Street and replacing the existing "yield" signs with "stop"
signs. The intersection of Garfield Street and Oak Street
has been studied due to the high accident rate. The
intersection is currently controlled by "yield" signs on
Garfield Street.
Available accident records over the three-year period from
1989 through 1991 indicate that there have been seven
accidents correctable with the installation of "stop"
signs. Recently acquired traffic volumes indicate that the
existing "yield" signs are on the major street. Generally,
traffic controls are placed controlling minor street
traffic. Traffic volumes on Garfield Street and Oak Street
are 990 and 785 vehicles per day (vpd), respectively.
6
Continued September 2, 1992
With the traffic controls switched to Oak Street, the low
approach speeds necessary for drivers to see oncoming
vehicles on Garfield Street suggests that a "stop" control
is appropriate. The approach speeds with the traffic
controls as they currently exist on Garfield Street do not
support a "stop" control.
Staff feels that switching the control to the minor street
and changing the "yield" signs to "stop" signs will reduce
accidents. In a similar situation, the "yield" control on
Garfield Street at Walnut Street (immediately south of the
Oak Street intersection) was switched to walnut Street.
Since that time (January 1988), the number of correctable
accidents has dropped from four (January 1984 to October
1987) to one (October 1987 to the present). Multi -way stop
controls are not justified at this location.
COMMENTS BY CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS The following comments were received under the "Comments by

My love affair with this community and its people has contributed so very much
in making my career as your City Clerk such a wonderful experience. Please

I feel truly blessed to have been able to work these many years under the
leadership and guidance of fourteen City Council Members so committed to local
government at its best and a quality of life few communities ever realize.
Words cannot express my respect and admiration for the City staff, the City
Manager and the City's Management Team. I feel privileged to have worked with
them and feel great pride in the many accomplishments of this City over the
years.
My sincere thanks to the members of my staff, Deputy City Clerk Jennifer
Perrin, Charlene Metcalf, and Linda Wagner. Their hard work, loyalty,
dedication and real team spirit is a real source of pride and is deeply

REGULAR CALENDAR
EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT FOR SALE AND
FINANCING OF ELECTRIC SYSTEM FACILITIES APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. 92-156
CC -90 Following an inquiry by Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, the City
CC -300 Attorney advised him that it would not be necessary that he
r abstain from discussion and voting on the following matter.
Electric Utility Director Henry Rice apprised the City
Council that pursuant to the new Interconnection Agreement,
NCPA is coordinating necessary studies for PG&E system
reliability improvement with PG&E and Lodi staff.
Presently, Lodi bulk power is transferred over the PG&E
system to the Lockeford substation and arrives at Lodi over
several transmission lines from Lockeford. The transformer
capacity available at Lockeford for the Lodi transfer is no
longer adequate to provide reasonable reliability
(inadequate transformer capacity could cause a City-wide
blackout if stressed beyond limits). This coordinated
study will develop a short term emergency "fix" as well as
a long term solution to reliability improvements. The
short term emergency "fix" should result in little or no
cost while the long term solution may involve installation
of transformers, circuit -breakers, , and other system
additions.
NCPA will determine the extent of physical additions
necessary to accomplish the long term solution (the
"Project") in concert with PG&E. The City of Lodi will be
responsible for constructing any required system additions
to its system which become necessary. The subject
agreement is the vehicle by which such system additions may
be acquired, constructed and financed. Some system
additions may be dedicated to PG&E.
Lodi may modify the project as it, in its sole discretion,
shall determine. The purpose of this Agreement is to set
forth the terms and conditions of the acquisition and
construction by NCPA of the project, issuance of Bonds to
12
Continued September 2, 1992
make the proceeds thereof available to pay the costs of the
project, and sale by NCPA of system additions to the City.
NCPA will include in its financing of the Steam Injected
Gas Turbine Project an amount anticipated to be required to
acquire, construct, and finance the subject project.
The Lodi coordinator for this study and project has been
the Electric Utility Director and it is recommended that
person continue as Authorized City Representative for
purposes of this Agreement. NCPA shall act as project
administrator for all or any portion of the project.
Timely approval of this Agreement will assure prompt
resolution of the long term reliability problem
satisfactory to PG&E, NCPA and Lodi.
Following discussion with questions being directed to Mr.
Rice, the City Council, on motion of Council Member
Hinchman, Pinkerton second, adopted Resolution No. 92-156
authorizing the execution of the Agreement For Sale and
Financing of Electric System Facilities on file in the City
Clerk's Office. The motion carried by unanimous vote.
REORGANIZATION OF FINANCE DEPARTMENT
RESOLUTION NO. 92-157
CC -34 The City Council was informed that the Assistant Finance
CC -300 Director position is now vacant. The Finance Director
recommends that this position be eliminated and that those
duties be distributed between the Accounting Manager and
the Revenue Manager, as well as the remaining Accountant
II, a Sr. Account Clerk, and Account Clerk and the
Department Secretary.
The Accounting Manager will be the number two position in
the Finance Department and in addition to acting as the
Finance Director in his absence will be responsible, in
addition to the present duties of -an Accountant II, for
assisting departments in preparing their annual budgets,
coordinating the City audit, developing financial
recommendations and advising the Finance Director on
department personnel policies and actions.
The duties of Revenue Manager will be assigned supervisory
responsibility of the Utility Billing Section. Utility
billing is fundamentally a revenue and collection operation
which should be consolidated with the revenue/collection
operations.
The Revenue Manager should also be assigned additional
duties as Deputy Treasurer to ensure internal control over
13
Continued September 2, 1992
the City's investments and to allow signature authority to
disburse and transfer City funds as required.
In addition to the present duties as Revenue and Collection
Technician, supervisor of the City's cashier operation, the
investment of approximately $20,000,000 of City funds, tax
collection for transit occupancy tax and business license
tax, developing City's revenue projections and banking
relations of the City with two local banks, the Revenue
Manager will assume the following new responsibilities:
° supervision of the utility billing operation
° Deputy City Treasurer
° project manager for developing and monitoring business
license tax rates
° calculation of arbitrage for bond counsel and federal
tax reporting
preparation of investment amortization and interest rates
This recommendation will save the City approximately
$50,000 per year.
On motion of Council Member Snider, Sieglock second, the
i City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-157 approving the
reorganization of the City's Finance Department and
authorizing compensation adjustments.

PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF THE SOUTHERN
PACIFIC DEPOT, 2 NORTH SACRAMENTO STREET,
LODI
CC -7(h) The City Council was advised that an Erratum had been
prepared for the September 2, 1992 City Council agenda
containing the following agenda item:
Agenda Item #L-4
"Council discussion and possible direction
to staff on the proposed demolition of the
14
Continued September 2, 1992
Southern Pacific Depot, 2 North Sacramento
Street, Lodi"
The City Council was informed that on Wednesday afternoon,
August 26, 1992 Stan Bowers of Valley Construction Co.,
demolition specialists, came into the Building Division of
the Community Development Department seeking information
concerning the necessary steps to acquire a demolition
permit for the Southern Pacific Depot, 2 North Sacramento
Street. He left City Hall with a complete package for
applying- for the necessary permit. However, at the time of
preparation of the Communication (i.e. Thursday morning,
August 27, 1992) no application had been presented to the
Building Division.
Mr. Bowers was working under the direction of Joe
Ivanusich, Field Engineer, Southern pacific Transportation
Co. On August 5, 1992 the Community Development Director
corresponded with Mr. Ivanusich seeking his assistance in
correcting the unsightly and unsanitary conditions at the
depot. Apparently S.P.'s solution to the existing problems
is to remove the structure, rather than to secure it by
fencing.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to staff.
Addressing the City Council regarding -the matter were
Arthur Price, 1053 Port Chelsea Circle, Lodi and James
Griffith, 1020 Bradford Circle, Lodi.
On motion of Council Member Sieglock, Pinkerton second, the
City Attorney was directed to write to our federal
legislators, the President and Vice -President of the United
States to support us in our efforts to preserve the depot.
Further direction included that a letter should be
forwarded to Southern Pacific Company from the City Council
expressing the City's concern regarding the preservation of
the site, .refusal to issue a demolition permit, etc.
