Section 3.20.040 (exemptions from centralized purchasing)
authorizes the City Council to standardize on specific
supplies, services and equipment. Since this Council has
already standardized the purchase of police motorcycles, it
is our request that the City purchase these two motorcycles
from B & T Kawasaki in Sacramento, California.
Both of these 1985 motorcycles are being replaced due to
high mileage and the increased costs of repairing them.

*Did not include receipt of addendum
During the bidding, an addendum to the plans and
specifications was issued. All the bidders except the low
bidder returned the receipt of the addendum with their
proposal. The low bidder has stated that he was aware of
the addendum and simply failed to include the receipt in
the proposal.
The addendum included four items:
1) Delivery Arrangement - The specifications
stated that the Contractor was to pick up
the City -furnished poles and lights at the
Municipal Service Center. The addendum
allowed the Contractor to make separate
delivery arrangements directly with Musco.
This could have no affect on the bid or save
a few hundred dollars in handling costs
depending on how the Contractor planned to
do the work.
2) Pole Removal - The specifications required
that the old poles were to be cut off one
foot below grade and the holes backfilled.
The addendum required them to be removed
completely but also indicated if the
Contractor cut off the poles seven feet
above ground, the City would pull out the
pole stub. The Contractor would fill the
holes. Again, depending on how the
Contractor planned to do the work, this
could add a few hundred dollars in labor
costs.
3) Enclosures - The addendum clarified the
latching and padlock requirements for the
service and switch panel door; no cost
impact.
4) Plans - The control wiring diagram was
clarified and a requirement that the
electric service and lighting contractors be

Z57
in the same enclosure or in matching
enclosures was added. This could have added
up to $1,000 depending on how the Contractor
planned to order and assemble the equipment.
In contacting the other bidders, those who could be reached
felt the addendum was of a minor nature with no substantial
cost. One indicated the bid price with the addendum was
$3,500 lower than it would have been.
Since the addendum was of a minor nature in relation to the
project cost, it is reasonable for the Council to waive the
informality and award the bid to the low bidder.
Alternately, the Council could reject the bid and award to
the second bidder. In order to meet the construction
schedule, it is recommended that the project not be rebid
since the Contractor still must order a service and switch
panel which will take some time.
CONTRACT AWARD FOR WELL 24

IMPROVEMENT DEFERRAL AGREEMENT,
536 AND 540 HOWARD STREET, LODI
CC -90 The City Council approved the Improvement Deferral
Agreement for 536 and 540 Howard Street (formerly 550 North
Loma Avenue), and directed the City Manager and City Clerk
to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
The developer, Mr. Tony White, has presented a final parcel
map to the City for approval. Access to the two proposed
parcels is currently provided by a private driveway from
Loma Avenue. The Howard Street specific plan (Ordinance
No. 917, City of Lodi Drawing 69D78) calls for future
access to be provided by extending Howard Street to the
north in a cul-de-sac. Since only a small portion of the
Howard Street right-of-way will be acquired with the filing
of the map, and in order to allow the development of Parcel
1, the developer has requested that the necessary street
improvements be deferred until such time as the adjacent
properties develop or upon demand by the City. The
developer has agreed to post a bond for his proportionate
share of the design and installation costs and City
engineering and inspection fees for the improvements. The
developer has further agreed that Parcel 2 will not be a
buildable site until the design and installation of the
Howard Street improvements have been completed and accepted
by the City.
At the request of the Fire Department, the new parcels have
been assigned Howard Street situs addresses. Access to the
parcels, however, will continue to be provided by the
private driveway from Loma Avenue until Howard Street is
improved. The developer has provided a cross-over

CONTRACT WITH DAVID M. GRIFFITH

CITY OF LODI'S 1991-92 STATE
MANDATE CLAIMS
CC -90 The City Council was apprised that for the past few years
the City has contracted with DMG to file its SB 90 claims.
The cost of this service is $2,450 plus 30% of all claims
filed and paid to a maximum of $7,000.
Last year the City received $60,764 from State mandated
costs. We paid $11,679.20 for these same services for a
net of $49,084.80.
The City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into
a contract with David M. Griffith and Associates, Ltd.
(DMG) to file the City's 1991-92 State Mandated claims.

RETENTION OF CONSULTANT FOR
PREPARATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
FOR WHITE SLOUGH WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL FACILITY EXPANSION PROJECT
CC -88 The City Council authorized retaining the firm of Whitley,
Burchett and Associates to prepare a supplemental
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the White Slough
Expansion Project.
The City Council was advised that the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board staff is presently preparing a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit for our White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility Expansion Project.
The present draft NPDES permit prepared by the Regional
Board is proposing a 10/10 mg/L for BOD and suspended
solids for all White Slough discharges. The City's present
discharge requirements are 20/20 mg/L for BOD and suspended
solids in the summer months, and 30/30 mg/L for BOD and
suspended solids in the winter months.
The Regional Board has indicated that they are requiring
the 10/10 mg/L discharge requirement because there was a
statement in the City's final EIR document that indicated
that, "Installation of the proposed clarifiers and other
components, in conjunction with aeration system
improvements recently completed, would allow the Water
Pollution Control Facility to produce domestic effluent
having 10 mg/L or less of BOD and suspended solids more
10
260 Continued July 17, 1991
k
than 90 percent of the time." It is felt that when our new
plant expansion comes on-line, we will initially be able to
meet the 10/10 requirement; however, as the plant
approaches 80% capacity (approximately 7 mgd), the City
would have to construct sand filters at a cost of $1.5 to
$3 million plus a substantial increase in annual
maintenance costs in order to meet the 10/10 mg/L
requirement. We have been meeting and negotiating with the
Regional Board staff on this item for some time. The
Regional Board's legal counsel has indicated that if we
provide additional CEQA documentation on a lesser discharge
requirement, they would be able to modify their proposed
10/10 mg/L discharge requirement.
Max Burchett and my staff met with the Regional Board staff
to discuss what additional CEQA documentation was needed
and the requirements for changing the 1988 EIR. A proposal
from Whitley, Burchett and Associates which accomplishes
this task with the minimum amount of effort was presented
for Council review. The cost of this work would be
approximately $36,000. The proposal submitted has been
reviewed by Lodi's Community Development Director and it is
felt that the procedure proposed is appropriate and the
employee hours submitted are in line.
APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH IBM
AND A. L. ROARK FOR COMPUTER
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE LEASE
PURCHASE FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT
CC -90 The City Council authorized Captain Hansen to initiate the
contract with IBM Inc. and A. L. Roark, Inc. for the
following: A five-year lease -purchase of computer hardware
and software equipment for the Lodi Police Department and
Lodi Fire Department Computer Aided Dispatch and Records
Management Systems.
The monthly cost of this lease -purchase will be $4,087.43,
for a total of $49,049.16 for the first year.
As the Council was advised in the April 30th Shirtsleeve
Session, the Lodi Police Department and Fire Department are
in need of a new Computer Aided Dispatch and Records
Management System. In addition, the Lodi Police Department
will be beginning a merger with the Finance Department
running the Records Management System on their AS400
computer system. The purchase of this equipment will
enable us to start the process of converting our system
from the BRC system to the A. L. Roark software package.

CONCESSION CONTRACT WITH BOOSTERS
OF BOYS/GIRLS SPORTS ORGANIZATION
FOR USE OF THE SOFTBALL COMPLEX
AND ARMORY PARK FACILITIES APPROVED
CC -90 The City Council approved the contract between the Boosters
of Boys/Girls Sports Organization and the City of Lodi to
operate the concession stands at the Softball Complex and
Armory diamond for the remainder of the calendar year 1991.
The City Council was advised that the contract between
Jacobs Concessions and the City was terminated by Jacobs
just prior to this summer's softball season. We were not,
and have not been, approached by any other concessionaire
so staff contacted the BOBS and asked if they would be
interested in expanding their current operations (Zupo
Field, Kofu Park, and Salas Park) to include the Complex
and Armory.
The City has experienced a wide swing in the percentage
amounts from the various concessionaires operating the
Complex, Armory and Lodi Lake, so we felt that having the
Boosters take over this portion of concessions would give
us an opportunity to accurately measure what can be
expected from a well run operation. The Boosters request
the contract end the end of 1991 so they can evaluate
whether or not they can handle the additional sites.
The BOBS will be paying the City 25% of the net.

PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT TO STATE -LOCAL
MASTER AGREEMENT NO. SLTPP-5154
FOR HUTCHINS STREET IMPROVEMENTS,
PINE STREET TO LOCKEFORD STREET APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. 91-130
CC -7(f) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-130 approving
CC -90 Program Supplement No. 3 to the State -Local Master
CC -300 Agreement No. SLTPP-5154 covering the street improvements
to Hutchins Street, Pine Street to Lockeford Street.
This is another project using State -Local Partnership
Program funds as provided by Sections 2600 et seq. of the
Streets and Highways Code. The amount the City receives is
based on the estimate first submitted with the application
to receive these funds. On this project, the City will
receive approximately 18% of the total construction and
construction engineering costs. That amounts to $23,710.
The matching funds for this project are budgeted under the
Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds in the Street
Capital Improvement Program.
AUTHORITY APPROVED FOR FINANCE
DIRECTOR/TREASURER DIXON FLYNN
TO BE ISSUED A CREDIT CARD
(CITY OF LODI)
RESOLUTION NO. 91-131
CC -6 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-131 approving
the issuance of a City credit card to Dixon Flynn with an
authorized amount of $5,000.
For the past several years certain staff member in
administrative positions have carried City credit cards.
These are MasterCards issued by Farmers' & Merchants'
Bank. Those employees to whom credit cards have been
issued are the City Manager, Assistant City Manager,
Finance Director, Community Development Director, Parks and
Recreation Director, and City Clerk.
With the appointment of the new Finance Director, it is
requested that the City Council approve the "transfer" to
Dixon Flynn of the card previously held by the
recently -retired Finance Director, Bob Holm.
The City utilizes these cards in conjunction with the
attendance by the City Council and staff at conferences,
training seminars and other miscellaneous meetings. It has
been our experience that the use of these cards provides
the City with excellent accountability of expenditures in
these areas.

RESOLUTION AMENDED EXTENDING
AUTHORITY FOR SETTLEMENT OF
LIABILITY CLAIMS NOT TO EXCEED
$5,000 TO KIRK EVANS, ADMINISTRATIVE
ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER
RESOLUTION NO. 91-132
CC -6 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-132 approving
CC -21.1(a) the addition of Kirk Evans, Administrative Assistant to the
CC -300 City Manager, to the list of City officials with payout
authority for verified claims up to $5,000.
Kirk Evans has now assumed all of the duties and
responsibilities of the City's risk management function.
In this capacity, it is appropriate that he be given the
authority to assume payout authority for verified claims up
to $5,000. The City's liability insurance administrators
(Insurance Consulting Associates, Inc.) have authority to
settle claims up to $1,000. The City Manager, Assistant
City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk have the
authority to settle claims up to $5,000. City Council
approval of this recommendation will add Mr. Evans to this
list.
CONSIDERATION OF GROWTH
MANAGEMENT PLAN SET FOR
PUBLIC HEARING
CC -6 The City Council set a public hearing at a Special Joint
CC -35 Meeting with the Planning Commission on Wednesday, July 31,
CC -35(a) 1991 to consider the Growth Management Plan.
PUBLIC HEARING SET FOR STREET
IMPROVEMENT INSTALLATIONS ON
1990 BLOCK SOUTH CHURCH STREET
CC -45(a) The City Council set a public hearing regarding
CC -45(e) installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk at 1905, 1907,
1909 and 1911 South Church Street for Wednesday, August 7,
1991, and directed staff to proceed with the appropriate
notification.
In June 1990, the City Council determined the need for
installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk in both the 1700
and 1900 blocks of South Church Street where none now
exists. At that time, a public hearing was also set to
allow the property owners to have input into this
decision. That public hearing was held but because the
project was delayed, the City did not notify the owners
that the installation must proceed. The project is now
scheduled to be bid and the City Attorney recommended that
we set another public hearing because of the length of time
since the project was discussed.
14
6Q Continued July 17, 1991
The necessary rights-of-way for the improvements in the
1900 block were dedicated when the parcels were in the
County. The owners of the property were notified one year
ago of the Council's determination and the choices that
they as property owners will have regarding the
installation of these improvements. Those choices are that
the property owners could:
1. Install the improvements on their own.
2. Agree to reimburse the City for doing the
work as part of its project.
3. Wait for the City to install the
improvements and formally lien the property.
The estimated construction costs of the improvements range
from $1,300 to $2,000, depending on the length of the
parcel's frontage. The City could add various engineering
and administrative costs; however, it is recommended that
these be waived if the owners opt for choice 1 or 2
described above.
ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS AT
633 EAST VICTOR ROAD
RESOLUTION NO. 91-133
CC -46 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-133 accepting
CC -300 the development improvements for 633 East Victor Road.
Improvements at 633 East Victor Road have been completed in
substantial conformance with the requirements of the
Improvement Agreement between the City of Lodi and
Christian J. Knox, dated December 19, 1990, as shown on
Drawing No. 90DO69, and as specifically set forth in the
plans and specifications approved by the City Council.

Prior to 1984, City Code Section 13.08, Water Service, set
the water rate for service outside the City at 150% of the
in -City rate. In 1984, the Code was changed to allow this
rate to be established by resolution; however, the
resolution was never presented to the Council. This
section of the Code now reads:
Since this last Code modification, the City has continued
to charge the 50% surcharge to outside City service, even
though a resolution was never adopted. Therefore, it is
appropriate to adopt a resolution establishing the outside
water service rate at 150% of the inside water service
rates.
TEMPORARY "NO PARKING" ZONE
ESTABLISHED 452 AND 458 ALMOND DRIVE
RESOLUTION NO. 91-134
CC -48(e) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-134 approving
CC -300 the installation of a 175' temporary "No Parking" zone in
front of the residences at 452 and 458 Almond Drive.
Curb, gutter and sidewalk installation at these locations
have been given preliminary approval by City Council to be
included in the 1991-92 Capital Improvement Program
budget. These two parcels are the only locations along
Almond Drive within the City limits without curb, gutter or
sidewalk.
The City has received a request from a resident for a "No
Parking" zone to improve visibility.
Available accident records indicate that there has been one
recent accident at this location. This 1991 accident
occurred as a driver at 458 Almond Drive was attempting to
back out onto Almond Drive. Both the driver of the backing
vehicle and the responding police officer indicated that
parked vehicles and narrow roadway conditions limit the
drivers' ability to see oncoming vehicles.
Due to the narrow roadway conditions and verified sight
problem created by parked vehicles, staff recommended the
16
21*6 6 Continued July 17, 1991
installation of a 175' temporary "No Parking" zone at 452
and 458 Almond Drive. When street improvements are
completed, this "No Parking" zone can be removed;
authorization to do so was included in the resolution.
"NO PARKING" ZONES ESTABLISHED AT
420 SOUTH PLEASANT AVENUE (NEEDHAM
SCHOOL SITE)
RESOLUTION NO. 91-135
CC -48(e) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-135 approving
CC -300 the installation of "No Parking" zones on the east side of
Pleasant Avenue adjacent to the parking lot driveway at the
Needham School site.
The Public Works Department has received a request from the
Lodi Unified School District to install "No Parking" zones
adjacent to the parking lot driveway on the east side of
Pleasant Avenue. Vehicles parked on -street adjacent to
this driveway are creating a sight problem for drivers
exiting onto Pleasant Avenue.
The results of staff's analysis indicate that in order to
provide adequate sight distance for drivers exiting the
parking lot, 110' of "No Parking" south of the driveway and
70' of "No Parking" north of the driveway are needed.
On -street parking for the drivers displaced by these "No
Parking" zones is available along the school site to the
south and on-site parking is available in the lots on the
east and west sides of Pleasant Avenue.
Due to the availability of alternate parking in the area,
staff recommended the installation of these "No Parking"
zones.

Mayor Pro Tempore Pinkerton indicated that he has received
three copies of a newsletter being published by San Joaquin
Delta College and suggested that the funds used for
producing, mailing, etc of this document could be put to

USE OF LIGHTING TO BE REMOVED
FROM KOFU PARK SUGGESTED BY
COUNCIL MEMBER SIEGLOCK
CC -27(c) Council Member Sieglock stated that the City Council under
CC -27(e) the Consent Calendar had approved new lighting for Kofu
Park and suggested that perhaps the Public Works Department
could look at using the lighting that is being removed from
Kofu Park at another location such as Hutchins Street
Square for the lighting of basketball courts.
COUNCIL MEMBER SIEGLOCK COMMENTS
ON RECENT LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Council Member Sieglock commented on a recent letter to the
editor that appeared in the Lodi News Sentinel regarding,
among other things, speed limit increases on Tokay Street,
the speed limit in the area of Vinewood School, and the
speed limit on Kettleman Lane. Mr. Sieglock pointed out
that in order to use radar, speed limits must be set based
on the results of official traffic studies (California
Vehicle Code and State of California guidelines). Mr
Sieglock also pointed out that Kettleman Lane is controlled
by the State of California, and therefore is not under the
control of the City of Lodi.

vacant -home checks, locating abandoned vehicles, and
assisting in traffic control. They would be armed --but
just with pads and pencils and two-way radios and be paired
in regular patrol cars. Mr. Pruss suggested that the City
of Lodi should consider implementing a like program. Mayor
Hinchman directed the City Clerk to work with Mr. Pruss in
getting this suggestion disseminated to Police Chief
Williams and to the Lodi Senior Citizens Commission.

ADULT CROSSING GUARD STUDY
AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
CC -7(e) Assistant City Engineer Richard Prima advised the City
CC -48(m) Council that the Public Works Department has received a
CC -43 request from the Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) to
perform adult crossing guard studies at various locations
due to the School District's elimination of the majority of
student busing (except special education) within the City
limits as of July 1. The School District has requested
that the City of Lodi perform adult crossing guard studies
at the following schools and locations.
School Location
Erma Reese Lower Sacramento Road @ Elm Street
Heritage Cherokee Lane @ Hale Road
Lawrence Turner Road @ Coloma Street
Lockeford Street @ Washington Street
The adult crossing guard agreement between the City and the
School District states that the City will study any
location where the School District provides information
indicating that the minimum State of California (Caltrans)
guidelines for the placement of adult crossing guards may
be satisfied. The minimum number specified in these
guidelines is 40 elementary school pedestrians for each of
any two hours daily. Due to the low number of students (15
to 20) indicated by the School District residing north of
Turner Road at Coloma, the staff did not perform a study at
this location. This does not prevent the School District
from providing an adult crossing guard at this location or
any other location(s) at the School District's expense.
The results of the City's study of the remaining three
locations are as follows:
Lower Sacramento Road @ Elm Street
At signalized intersections, Caltrans guidelines are
satisfied when there are at least 40 elementary school
pedestrians and 300 vehicular uncontrolled turning
movements (right turns) over the crosswalk for each of
any two hours of the day, or crosswalks are over 80 feet
long with no intermediate refuge area or there is a high
proportion of large commercial vehicles. The total volumes
of all legs of the intersection are:
25
Continued July 17, 1991
Pedestrians
AM PM
21 22
Turning Vehicles
AM PM
123 151
Z75.
Staff observed 3 commercial trucks in the morning and 15
trucks in the afternoon. Staff also reviewed the
pedestrian timing and observed that all of students had
sufficient time to cross Lower Sacramento Road.
Available accident records from 1987 through March of 1991
indicate that there have been no pedestrian accidents at
this location. This traffic signal was activated in July
of 1990. The posted speed limit on Lower Sacramento Road
is 45 mph. The curb -to -curb width at the crosswalk is 86
feet.
Based on the above guidelines, an adult crossing guard is
not satisfied at this location. In order to accommodate
the LUSD request, staff studied this location as soon as
possible after receiving the request. We subsequently
learned this track does not have the largest amount of
students from the Park West subdivision. We will restudy
this intersection after August 26, 1991 when the largest
amount of students use this crossing.
Cherokee Lane @ Hale Road
While staff was performing traffic counts at this location,
a number of students were observed crossing at Eden
Street. The Eden Street pedestrians were included in the
study since Heritage School is located on Eden Street.
Also, there is no sidewalk on portions of the west side of
Cherokee Lane between Hale Road and Eden Street.
At uncontrolled crossings, Caltrans guidelines are
satisfied when there are at least 40 elementary school
pedestrians and 350 vehicles through that crosswalk for
each of any two hours of the day. The total volumes for
Eden and Hale crossings are:
Pedestrians
AM PM
28 31
Vehicles
AM PM
871 1183
In addition, there was an additional 28 adults crossing
Cherokee Lane with their children in the morning and
afternoon.
In reviewing available accident records for a 4-1/2 year
period (1987 through March 1991), both intersections have
pedestrian accidents. At the Cherokee and Hale
intersection, there were six pedestrian/vehicle accidents.
26
276
Continued July 17, 1991
'J
Three of the six accidents involved a child under 13 with
one occurring near school hours. At the Cherokee and Eden
intersection, there were five pedestrian/vehicle
accidents. None of these accidents involved elementary
school age children. The posted speed limit on this
section of Cherokee Lane is 35 mph. The curb -to -curb
street width is 75 feet.
City Council recently approved a yellow flashing beacon
installation at Cherokee Lane and Hale Road to warn
motorists of a pedestrian crossing. The equipment has been
ordered and should be installed in the next four to six
weeks.
Staff intends to recommend a yellow flashing beacon at
Cherokee/Eden in the 1991/92 Capital Improvement Program.
Although the pedestrian volumes do not meet the Caltrans
guidelines, staff feels that due to the high number of
pedestrian accidents and lack of controls, an adult
crossing guard is reasonable at one of these intersections.
The cost could be shared with the LUSD for an adult
crossing guard at one of these locations. The proper
location should be determined with City staff and LUSD
officials.
Lockeford Street @ Washington Street
While staff was performing traffic counts at this location,
a large number of students were observed crossing at
Calaveras Street. The pedestrians observed crossing at
Stockton Street and at Calaveras Street have been included
in this survey. The majority (approximately 80%) of
pedestrians were observed crossing at Calaveras Street.
At uncontrolled crossings, Caltrans guidelines are
satisfied when there are at least 40 elementary school
pedestrians and 350 vehicles through the crosswalk for each
of any two hours of the day. The total volumes are:
Pedestrians Vehicles
AM PM AM PM
86 85 733 742
Available accident records from 1987 through March of 1991
indicate that no school age pedestrians were struck by
vehicles at Calaveras Street, Washington Street or Stockton
Street. The posted speed limit on this section of
Lockeford Street is 30 mph. The curb -to -curb street width
is 40 feet.
27
Continued July 17, 1991
The results of the City's study indicate that Caltrans
guidelines for an adult crossing guard are satisfied at
Lockeford Street and Calaveras Street. The guidelines were
not satisfied at Washington Street or at Stockton Street.
Staff has observed that students using the crossing at
Calaveras Street are walking across one railroad branch
line and three siding tracks located between Railroad
Avenue and Lockeford Street. Although these railroad
tracks are seldom used, there is not formal crossing
provided. There is also no sidewalk along much of the
south side of Lockeford Street. Based upon these factors,
staff is reluctant to encourage students to cross the
railroad tracks by placing the adult crossing guard at
Calaveras Street. However, we cannot expect these students
to walk down to Washington Street if the adult crossing
guard is placed there. Staff recommends that an adult
crossing guard be approved for Lawrence School at Lockeford
Street and that the District determine the appropriate
intersection. We recommend that the School District apply
to the Public Utilities Commission for a pedestrian walkway
across the railroad tracks. City staff will assist in the
preparation of this application.
Addressing the City Council regarding the matter were:
a) Stan Geiszler, 317 Applewood Drive, Lodi;
and
b) Michael Sprague, 1018 Wintun Drive, Lodi.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff and to those who had addressed the City Council
regarding the matter.
A motion by Council Member Snider, Hinchman second,
regarding the matter failed to pass. After additional
discussion, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Pennino
second, the City Council approved the placement of an adult
crossing guard on Lockeford Street in the area of
Washington/Calaveras Streets. The exact location where the
Adult Crossing Guard is to be placed is to be determined by
the Lodi Unified School District. Further, staff was
directed to consult immediately with School District
officials regarding the recent elimination of school busing
in certain areas and its impact on children's safety going
to and from school. Further, it was suggested that parents
be invited to participate in these meetings.
RECESS Mayor Hinchman declared a five-minute recess and the
meeting reconvened at approximately 9:45 p.m.

ULTIMATE USE OF G-BASIN/DEBENEDETTI
PARK, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF LOWER
SACRAMENTO ROAD AND FUTURE CENTURY BOULEVARD
CC -27(c) The City Council was advised that over the past six years,
the Parks and Recreation Department has proceeded with the
thinking that the G-Basin/DeBenedetti Park area (52 acres)
was to be developed as a golf driving range/9-hole, 3 -par
golf facility. Recently, staff has been contacted by
citizen Randy Snider as to a possible change of use or the
potential for same. Mr. Snider's suggestion is that this
area could be better used as a youth sports facility. As
such, the staff was asked to present to the Parks and
Recreation Commission various plans for use --golf
configuration, youth sports, adult sports complex, etc.
This was done at the May 7 meeting of the Parks and
Recreation Commission. Mr. Tim Sullivan of Buchanan Field
of Concord presented a golf concept; Ron Williamson and the
Recreation staff presented youth/adult sports facility
concepts.
At the conclusion of all presentations, the commission made
a motion and voted 3-0, with an abstention by Commissioner
Casalegno, to continue with the golf facility idea/concept
for development.
The consideration is still up in the air --the golf
enthusiasts want to see a first-class driving range/golf
complex, the youth/adult sports people would like to see
their interests met. Our professional staff sees both
areas/interests needing facilities with a leaning toward a
youth sports complex and an indoor athletic facility.
Parks and Recreation Director Williamson indicated he goes
along with the golf complex idea, with consideration for a
youth facility to take place in the City's next major basin
facility development and to stay with the general plan
concept of development of Pixley Park and the adjacent area
into a major six to seven diamond facility for adults.
Addressing the City Council regarding the matter were the
following persons:
a) Robert Holm, 550 Willow Glen, Lodi;
b) Chas. Trowbridge, 350 Del Mont, Lodi; and
c) Bob Johnson, Chairman, Lodi Parks and
Recreation Commission.
Following a lengthy discussion with questions being
directed to Staff and to those who had addressed the City
Council regarding the matter, Council, on motion of Council

city council. (Ord. 1333, Section 1 (9) (I), 1984: prior
code Section 26-2
The above City Code section requires that the City Council
authorize any service outside the City limits.
In 1948, the City of Lodi, as part of its negotiations for
purchasing sites for old Well 10 and 11 (both of which are
now abandoned) and the easement for the interconnecting 14"
and 12" mains, entered into agreements with Roma,
East -Side, and Guild Wineries indicating that the City
would provide standby fire protection. These wineries have
been paying for standby City water for fire protection
since 1948. These agreements also had provisions for the
City providing them with "surplus water" for industrial and
domestic uses. The request by San Joaquin Warehouse
Company (SJWC) for industrial and domestic water is for a
standard City water service and not for surplus water.

The City of Lodi is presently serving the following parcels
outside the City with standard City water service. These
parcels, along with SJWC, are outside the existing City
limits but are all within our 2007 Planning Limits of the
newly adopted General Plan.

It is strongly recommended that the City does not serve
"surplus water". The City does not want to be in a
position where it has to make a determination to shut a
customer's water off because there is no longer surplus
water. Therefore, if we're going to serve water outside
the City limits, it should be a standard water service.
SJWC has a number of industrial uses on their site, all of
which would be considered dry industry with water only
being used for sanitary purposes. Serving SJWC with City
water should be conditioned upon the following requirements:
1. That SJWC agree to all applicable conditions
of the Lodi City Code related to water
service, cross connections, water
conservation, etc.
2. That SJWC pay the established outside City
water rate.
3. That SJWC pay the impact mitigation fee for
water which the City Council will be
approving in August of 1991. This fee will
be approximately $1,400 per acre. The
City's last three annexations of commercial
property have agreed to pay the future
impact fees. The only impact fee applicable
to this request would be the water impact
fee.
4. That SJWC enter into a letter -type agreement
covering the above items together with a
statement not to protest future annexation.
Agreements with existing water users outside
the City limits have included a statement
that reads as follows:

"The undersigned do hereby agree that, in
the event that the property owned by the
undersigned and served by this subject water
service is included in any petition for
annexation to the City, the undersigned will
agree to said annexation proceedings and
will not file an objection to same."
On June 25, 1991, the City met with SJWC,
East -Side Winery and All State Packers to
discuss the pros and cons of annexation.
SJWC is presently interested in annexation,
however, they cannot annex without East -Side
Winery also annexing.
On motion of Council Member Snider, Pennino second, the
City Council approved the request of San Joaquin Warehouse
Company, 6161 East Highway 12 for City Water Service
conditioned on certain requirements heretofore identified
as Requirements 1 through 4.
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A MODULAR
OFFICE BUILDING FOR THE ELECTRIC
UTILITY DEPARTMENT APPROVED
CC -51(a) The City Council was advised that temporary modular offices
CC -90 were installed in 1986 and 1989 at the Electric Utility
Service Center due to insufficient space for housing of
staff. Use Permit extensions for these temporary
facilities were granted at the last extension request (May
1991) for a one-year period with the condition that
permanent facilities be constructed. Therefore, t e
Department must proceed to provide permanent facilities in
a short time. The architectural services recommended will
provide siting as well as necessary bidding documents to
have a permanent modular office structure installed, either
by a lease or purchase agreement.
The Electric Utility Department has been diligently
pursuing a solution to its overall space deficiency since
1988. These deficiencies include general office space,
rest room facilities (no women's rest room at all), control
room compaction, tool and vehicle storage, tool and
equipment repair shops and lack of any conference room.
Schematic design plans to address all of these needs have
been prepared and presented to the City Council on several
occasions in the past. Development of these plans into
construction plans followed by actual construction has been
placed on hold due to other construction needs within the
City organization. This recommendation will not address
all the deficiencies listed above; it will only provide
intermediate relief in the areas where relief must be
provided at this time.

That the City Council approve the agreement for
architectural services associated with the planning, siting
and bidding of a modular office building at the Municipal
Service Center for the Electric Utility Department at a
cost of $2,860.
On motion of Council Member Pennino, Pinkerton second, the
City Council approved the agreement for architectural
services associated with the planning, siting and bidding
of a modular office building at the Municipal Service
Center for the Electric Utility Department at a cost of
$2,860.
USE OF "PURCHASE POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
(PPCA)" FOR A THREE-MONTH PERIOD
APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. 91-138
CC -6 Following introduction of the matter by City Manager
CC -51(d) Peterson, Electric Utility Director Rice advised the City
CC -56 Council that the Electric Rate Proposal approved by the
CC -300 City Council January 16, 1991 acknowledged that language
was added in the tariff sheets to incorporate a PPCA clause
to protect against revenue erosion. The PPCA was
characterized as a method to collect revenue to cover
significant expense items which were not anticipated.
When the January 16, 1991 proposal was made, we could not
adequately project the full impact of either the Middle
East war on fuel prices or large purchases of supplemental
energy during our summer peak load period.
The success of 'Desert Storm' maintained stable fuel
prices, but adjustment in power plant operation planned for
summer 1991 will result in unanticipated energy purchases
during the summer period. Power plant operation is set by
Northern California Power Agency (NCPA). The power plants
being controlled include hydroelectric, geothermal steam
and gas turbine. Hydroelectric and gas turbine production
is expected to remain consistent with the budget; however,
geothermal steam production has been restructured to
maintain capacity for future periods. Project participants
have determined that such altered production will require
some supplemental purchases of energy this summer and next.
Such supplemental purchases of energy this summer will be
from PG&E and others and result in an increased Lodi
revenue requirement of approximately $1,250,000.
These peak period purchases were not anticipated when the
NCPA budget was incorporated into our rate determination.
Imposition of a PPCA during August, September and October
34
V Continued July 17, 1991
Existing rates applied to a residential customer using the
average amount of energy per month of 550 kwh would yield
$49.72. Application of this PPCA would increase that bill
$6.05 per month to $55.77 over the three-month period.
It should be noted that City Attorney McNatt determined
that Council Member Pennino did not need to abstain from
discussion and voting on this matter.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to staff.
Following an earlier motion that was withdrawn, on motion
of Mayor Hinchman, Sieglock second, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 91-138 approving application of the
"Purchase Power Cost Adjustment (PPCA)" at a level of 11
mills/kwh beginning with bills prepared on or after August
1, 1991 and terminating with completion of the October 1991
billing cycle. The motion carried by the following vote:

PURCHASE OF RADIOS FOR THE
FINANCE DEPARTMENT FIELD
SERVICE EMPLOYEES APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. 91-139
CC -12(d) The City Council was informed that Meter Readers and
CC -47 Account Collectors perform work in the field which
CC -300 occasionally puts them in unsafe situations. Employees
have complained of dog attacks, agitated members of the
public, and threats by the public involving guns. The
Meter Readers and Account Collectors have requested a radio
system to allow them direct and immediate communication
with the Police Department and the Finance Department
office. The request is based on the following issues:
1. Account Collectors and Meter Readers execute
tasks which may occasionally irritate
members of the public.
2. History has demonstrated that the field
workers are put into circumstances which are
unsafe. A radio system would provide them
with communications to the Police Department
and the Finance Department.
3. All other City departments which have field
workers are equipped with radio
communications for their employees (Public
Works, Electric Utilities, Parks and
Recreation, Police, and Fire).
4. A survey of NCPA cities was conducted with
results showing only the City of Palo Alto
and the City of Lodi as not providing the
radio equipment for Meter Readers and
Account Collectors. Palo Alto does provide
pagers for employees.

Portable radios, chargers, and a remote desk set will cost
approximately $10,000. This will provide hand-held radios
for two Account Collectors and four Meter Readers.
Maintenance costs for the radio system will be
approximately $834.00. Motorola will be the vendor which
will allow the Finance Department radio system to be
compatible with the other departments' radios.
Following discussion with questions being directed to
Staff, the City Council on motion of Council Member
Pennino, Pinkerton second, adopted Resolution No. 91-139
authorizing the purchase of a portable radio system for the
Meter Readers and Accounts Collectors and finding Motorola
as being the sole source supplier.
