RES. NO. 90-01
CC -12(d) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-01 awarding the
CC -300 bid for the purchase of eight 1200 KVAR Capacitor Banks to
the low bidder, Cooper Power Systems, in the amount of
$31,373.50.
On December 20, 1989, the City Council approved

were opened on January 8, 1990, with the following results:
Cooper Power Systems, Burlingame $31,373.50
Westinghouse Electric, Concord $32,734.26
General Electric Supply, Emeryville $32,895.00

AWARD OF BID FOR
PURCHASE OF HIGH-
INTENSITY RECHARGEABLE
FLASHLIGHTS FOR THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT
RES. NO. 90-02
CC -12(d) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-02 awarding the
CC -300 bid for the purchase of 65 high-intensity rechargeable
Streamlight SL -20X flashlights to the low bidder, LC Action
Police Supply of San Jose, California, in the amount of
$5,386.88.
On December 20, 1989, the City Council approved
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids. Bids
were opened on Tuesday, January 9, 1990, with the following
results:
LC Action Police Supply, San Jose $5,386.88
L. N. Curtis & Sons, Oakland $5,431.77
Halprin Supply Co., Los Angeles $5,939.38
Butler's Uniforms, Sacramento $6,906.25
The Department currently issues 3 -cell non -rechargeable
flashlights for use by the officers. While these
flashlights are police -type and moderately heavy-duty, they
don't provide the high-intensity beam required in many of
the current nighttime stop and search situations. The
heavy-duty aluminum case and 20,000 candlepower beam of the
Streamlight SL -20X flashlights provide and extra margin of
safety for the officers who use them, and the recharging
capability provides a savings in disposable battery costs.
Funding for this purchase is available in the Police
Department's Safety Equipment account.
Delivery is expected about 8 weeks after placement of order.
PUBLIC HEARING SET TO

CC -44 The City Council set a public hearing for February 7, 1990
CC -51(a) to amend the ordinance setting and establishing increased
CC -56 rates for sewer service and connection fees.
The City Council was advised that after the new sewer
ordinance was adopted, the City received a letter from a
dentist who was concerned about the units of measure that
determine sewage service units for a dentist's office. In
evaluating the recent charges, it appears there was an
error in this calculation. After reevaluating this, there
will be a decrease in the fee. Prior to the public
hearing, all calculations will be reevaluated to determine
if other changes are necessary.

protests which may be raised on sidewalk repairs at 315
Sierra Vista Place, 1418 South School Street, and 900 North

As part of the City's sidewalk upgrade program, in
September, seven property owners were notified of the
dangerous condition of the sidewalk fronting their
property. They were given two weeks to begin repairs. On
all seven of these properties, the damage to the sidewalk
was caused by onsite trees. The following property owners
did not make the repairs as required by the notice;
therefore, the City had the work done.

ORDINANCE INTRODUCED
AUTHORIZING DISPOSITION
OF SURPLUS CITY PERSONAL
PROPERTY HAVING A VALUE
OF $2,000 OR LESS
ORDINANCE NO. 1474 INTRODUCED
205
Highways Code Section 5616, a
held to hear and pass upon the
and protests of property owners.
CC -6 City Attorney Mc Natt advised the City Council that in
CC -47 recent times, the question has surfaced on a number of
CC -149 occasions as to appropriate procedures to be followed in
disposing of personal property owned by the City which is
no longer needed. Although the Municipal Code presently
vests authority for the management of all City property in
the City Manager, it does not contain provisions for the
disposal of surplus personal property. Research also fails
to turn up any State guidelines which might be useful.
Although we have regulations for the disposal of found
property and recovered bicycles, it may be useful for the
Council to delegate to the City Manager this authority and
to establish specific guidelines.
To that end, a draft ordinance authorizing the Manager to
dispose of surplus personal property having a value of
$2,000 or less was presented for Council review. The
ordinance requires that the surplus property be advertised
once in a newspaper or periodical and sealed bids
requested. If this does not produce acceptable results,
the Manager may then simply solicit offers and sell the
item(s) to the first person offering a reasonable price.
If neither of these approaches produces results, the
Manager would then be authorized to either sell the
property at auction or consign it to a broker for sale. In
addition, property having a value of less than $100 would
not be subject to the publication and sealed bid
requirements.
Following the sale of any surplus personal property, the
Manager would be required to notify the City Council in
writing within 30 days after the sale. This ordinance
would not apply to the disposal of real property or
improvements.
The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1474 - An
Ordinance of the Lodi City Council Amending Chapter 12 of
the Lodi Municipal Code by Adding a Section Establishing
Procedures for the Disposal of Surplus Personal Property by
the City Manager.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED
REGARDING SETTLEMENT
AUTHORITY OF LIABILITY
CLAIMS
RES. NO. 90-03
CC -21.1(a) City Clerk Reimche reminded the City Council that at the
CC -300 December 20, 1989 Council Meeting, the City Council
terminated its contract with ADJUSTCO for claims management
service and retained the firm of Insurance Consulting
Associates, Inc.
It is necessary that the City Council amend the resolution
regarding settlement authority of liability claims to
reflect this change as the prior resolution adopted in 1983
indicated the name of the City's previous Contract
Administrator.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-03 entitled, "A
Resolution of the Lodi City Council Authorizing the City of
Lodi Administrative Staff and the City's Contract
Administrator, Monetary Authority to Settle Liability
Claims to Specific Limits."
CARNEGIE FORUM USE POLICY
RESOLUTION NO. 90-04
CC -6 City Manager Peterson advised the City Council that it is
CC -14(a) anticipated that from time to time there will be requests
CC -300 from various individuals and organizations to use spaces in
the Carnegie Forum. Several such requests have already
been received. To insure consistency in responses to such
request, it is important that a use policy be adopted.
Essentially, the recommended use policy provides that use
of the Carnegie Forum will be permitted only if there is a
City staff person associated with the use. Copies of this
recommended policy were distributed to the City Council at
Tuesday morning's "Shirtsleeve" meeting. Councilmembers
and department heads have had input in the refinement of
this policy and it is now ready for Council action.

for adjustments to their salary schedule effective the pay
period encompassing January 1, 1990, based on increases
paid by other major electric utilities. Results of the

FUNDS APPROVED FOR
CHALLENGE TO PROPERTY
TAX ALLOCATION METHOD
CC -6 City Attorney McNatt advised the City Council that last
CC -28 month, a request was received from the California Contract
Cities Association (CCCA) for assistance with legal fees
in a challenge to SB154 and AB8 (generally codified in
Revenue and Taxation Code §§95 - 100). The basis of the
legal action is that these two pieces of legislation,
passed to implement Proposition 13, violate the "tax
situs" provision of the California Constitution.
If the CCCA's position is correct, the County would be
required to calculate the apportionment of property taxes
on a different basis. This could increase Lodi's share by
an estimated $163,879.00 per year, under the CCCA's
projections. However, I am not certain of the
reliability of that estimate.
CCCA has calculated a prorated schedule or proposed
contribution for cities, with Lodi's suggested assessment
being $250.00. It is my understanding that we would not be
named as a litigant in the actual lawsuit, which has
already been filed. The City's posture would be more in
the nature of amicus curiae.
It should be remembered that the suit directly involves
only the cities of CCCA and the Counties of San
Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Riverside. Even if the
action is successful, it could still require further effort
to implement it locally.
It is my belief that the potential benefits justify the
$250.00 in legal fees sought by the CCCA.
The City Council approved

fees in a challenge to the
for property taxes.

"NO PARKING" ON INDUSTRIAL
WAY, GUILD AVENUE, AND VINE
STREET EAST OF CLUFF
AVENUE APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. 90-07
CC -48(e) The City Council was advised that currently, Industrial
CC -300 Way, Guild Avenue, and Vine Street east of Cluff Avenue are
only constructed to half of their ultimate widths. To
provide smooth traffic flow between the segments of full
width and half width, some centerline striping will be
installed. To accomplish this transition, it will be
necessary to install 40 feet of "no parking" signing on the
north side of Vine Street west of Cluff Avenue. A
centerline will also be installed on Industrial Way between
Cluff Avenue and Guild Avenue. Industrial Way is of
sufficient width to allow parking on the south side;
however, the undeveloped north side will require 1,350 feet
of "no parking" signing. Also, Guild Avenue between Vine
Street and Industrial Way and Vine Street between Cluff
Avenue and Guild Avenue will be signed "no parking" due to
✓ their narrow width. The "no parking" signs will be
installed as the area develops and traffic is generated.

Resolution of the Lodi City Council Approving the
Installation of "No Parking" on Industrial Way, Guild

COMMUNICATIONS
(CITY CLERK)
AIR QUALITY IMPACT
MITIGATION
CC -7(m) City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had
CC -24(b) been received from the Local Agency Formation Commission of
San Joaquin County:
REGULAR CALENDAR
The air quality of San Joaquin County and our multi -county
air -shed continues to worsen. Since air quality is a
regional problem, all jurisdictions must respond in concert
to avoid significant degradation.
Our Commission has become increasingly concerned about our
approving annexations for new development when the
accompanying environmental review states that significant
air quality impacts would result and little or nothing will
be done to aviod it. Although the problem has been most
prominently highlighted by large-scale projects, the
commission is equally concerned about the cumulative effect
of many small annexations.
As an important first step, the City of Stockton completed
several large-scale annexations with the condition that the
developers participate in the City's Air Quality Impact
Mitigation Program. That program will soon be fully
defined.
Commissioner George Barber recently explained that the
County Board of Supervisors, through the Air Pollution
Control District, will soon hold a public hearing on the
adoption of air quality mitigation requirements.
Our Commission, on November 20, 1989, directed this letter
to each City urging county -wide support and implementation
or meaningful air quality mitigation.
Each City's cooperation is essential for a county -wide
program, and we hope that our concern will spread to the
full air -shed region.

matter was referred

Council was reminded that at the City
December 6, 1989, Jean Beckman, under
Public on Non -Agenda Items", requested
to consider the removal of the
tree fronting the Woman's Club. The
to staff for discussion at a future
There are presently two Gingko trees fronting the Woman's
Club and three fronting the Masonic Temple. Of these five
trees, only one is fruit -bearing and it is located in front
of the Woman's Club.
Toward the end of the last calendar year, the Woman's Club
contacted the Street Superintendent, Glen Baltzer,
requesting the City to remove the fruit -bearing Gingko tree
fronting their facility on Pine Street. Mr. Baltzer
shared with them that under the existing Tree Policy
adopted by the City Council, the tree could be removed
because of the nuisance that the dropping fruit made;
however, the cost of the removal was the responsibility of
the owner. The City would replant a tree at no cost to the
owner. The cost for the City to remove the tree will be
approximately $250.00.
Public Works Director Ronsko then received a letter from
the Woman's Club making the same request, that the City
remove the tree at no cost to the Woman's Club.
Mr. Ronsko responded with a letter dated November 21, 1989,
again indicating the City's Tree Policy. With respect to
this specific situation, the policy was very clear and he
did not feel he had the authority to remove the tree at
City expense. He suggested that if they wanted to take
this matter further, they should make a request directly to
the City Council.
The dropping Gingko fruit is a nuisance and a possible
hazard to pedestrians. Therefore, the subject tree can be
removed under Item II -B-1 of the adopted Tree Policy. It
appears the Council has the following four alternatives:
1. Deny the request.
2. Share the cost of tree removal.
3. Approve the request and waive the policy
because the Woman's Club is a nonprofit
organization.
4. Approve the request by changing the Tree
Policy.
14
214
Continued January 17, 1990
Staff does not feel that the policy should be changed. If
the Council does want to approve the request, it was
recommended that they be given a waiver as a nonprofit
organization.
Mayor Snider indicated that he had a fifth alternative and
that was that he had a check from the Tokay Rotary Club for
the Woman's Club in the amount of $250.00 for the removal
of the subject tree.
Mayor Snider presented Mrs. Norma Kulim, who was in the
audience representing the Woman's Club with the $250.00
check.
On certain days of the month the parking of cars by people
riding the busses conflicts with bingo games held at the
American Legion building. The Nor Cal Tremors girls'
softball organization conducts bingo games there every
Tuesday night. The American Legion itself conducts bingo
games there every Wednesday night: As it is understood by
staff, the Fifty Plus Club runs its bus the first Wednesday
of each month. Thus there is a parking conflict with the
bingo players one Wednesday each month. Mr. Harkness
operates his busses one or two Tuesdays a month. Thus
there is a parking conflict with the bingo players one or
two Tuesdays each month. Mr. Harkness also runs a Sunday
bus once a month during 8-9 months of the year, but this
usually presents no conflict. For whatever reasons, this
parking lot is apparently viewed as the most desirable
location in the City from where to launch the "gamblers'

City Manager Peterson reminded the City Council that at the

regular City Council meeting of Wednesday, January 3, 1990,
CC -45(i)
the Council received a petition asking for the prohibition
CC -150
of parking for extended periods in the City parking lot at
East Lockeford and North Washington streets. The petition
was submitted by a representative of the American Legion
Post. As the Council is aware, this is a conflict of long
standing. Mr. Stan Harkness and the Fifty Plus Club both
run "gamblers' special" busses to South Lake Tahoe and/or
Reno. The departure point is the parking lot across the
street from the American Legion building.
On certain days of the month the parking of cars by people
riding the busses conflicts with bingo games held at the
American Legion building. The Nor Cal Tremors girls'
softball organization conducts bingo games there every
Tuesday night. The American Legion itself conducts bingo
games there every Wednesday night: As it is understood by

bus once a month during 8-9 months of the year, but this
usually presents no conflict. For whatever reasons, this
parking lot is apparently viewed as the most desirable
location in the City from where to launch the "gamblers'
15

V
specials." Staff is aware of other pick-up points in Lodi
by other companies operating "gamblers' specials" and these
locations have presented no conflicts to our knowledge.
The City parking lot currently has no time restrictions.
The issue is that there are two organizations (American
Legion and Fifty Pius Club) using a City parking lot to aid
in the conduct of their specific programs (bingo and
"gamblers' specials") and one entrepreneur (Mr. Harkness)
who uses a City parking lot to aid in the conduct of his
business. Of course, the City provides some free parking
in the downtown area that aids businesses there in the
conduct of their commercial operations. However, the City
realizes sales tax revenue as a result of this
relationship. As in the past when the City Council has
been confronted with this issue, there is no easy answer.
A possible solution to the resolution of these conflicts is
to establish a parking time limit at that lot of, for
example, six hours. This would effectively prohibit the
use of this lot for parking for the bus trips. The
downside of such an action is that it requires
enforcement by an already thinly -spread parking enforcement
patrol, and it is a rather severe solution to a conflict
that exists infrequently each month.
Addressing the City Council regarding the matter were the
following people:
a) Mr. Stan Harkness, 700 Cardinal Street,
Lodi
b) Mr. Roger Nicholson, representing the
Building Committee of the American Legion
c) Mr. Edward Jackson, representing the
American Legion
d) Ms. Zana Oe Benedetti, Business Manager
of the Nor Cal Tremors
A very lengthy discussion followed with questions being
directed to those who had addressed the City Council
regarding the matter.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, the City
Council referred the matter to staff for a recommendation
regarding a time limitation for parking in the east parking
lot. The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Olson, Pinkerton, Reid, and
Snider

REQUEST FOR RESIDENTIAL
PERMIT PARKING IN THE
VICINITY OF LODI HIGH SCHOOL
CC -48(1) The City Council was advised that currently, parking in the
residential area east of Lodi High School is prohibited
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m, and 12:30 p.m.
to 1:30 p.m. on school days only. This limit applies to
Walnut Street between Ham Lane and Pacific Avenue, Oak
Street between Ham Lane and Pacific Avenue, Wellington
Way, and Pacific Avenue from Walnut Street to 70 feet south
of Elm Street. This restriction is currently enforced by
the Police Department.
Recently, a resident of Wellington Way inquired about
parking his vehicle on the street in front of his residence
at any time. Public Works staff informed him of the
residential permit parking program and provided a petition
to circulate in the study area shown in an exhibit
presented for Council review. Our guideline is that at
least 60% of the residents must be in favor prior to
bringing the petition to the Council. Since approximately
90% of the residents are in favor of the permit program, we
are bringing the request to the Council.
Two parking alternatives for the residential neighborhood
are described below.
Alternative A - Residential permits provided with no
modification to existing parking limits ("No Parking" 9
a.m. to 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., school days
only). The existing signs will need to be modified.
The advantage to this alternative is that non-resident
parking is allowed, except as restricted. The disadvantage
is that the area could be enforced only during the posted
restricted hours.
Alternative B - Residential permits provided with
modified limits to "no parking" any time or during certain
time frame coinciding with school hours, school days only.
The advantage to this alternative is that the area can be
enforced at any time. The disadvantage is that
non-resident parking is prohibited for a longer period,
except on non -school days.

The permit program would affect the frontage of 59
residential lots. All of the lots are single-family except
for 6 duplex lots and 4 apartment lots located on or
adjacent to Walnut Street.
The Finance Department now enforces the Pacific Coast
Producers residential permit parking. The Finance
Department indicates they do not have staff to enforce the
Lodi High School area without reducing enforcement in other
areas. The two Parking Enforcement Assistants enforce the
downtown area, Pacific Coast Producers, and surrounding
off-street handicapped parking stalls. It appears that the
Lodi High School area could continue to be enforced by the
Police Department with very little additional time.
City Council can either do nothing or set a public hearing
to review and discuss the residential permit parking
alternatives.
Mr. Carl Lyons, 15 N. Wellington Way, Lodi addressed
the City Council regarding the concerns of those who had
signed the petition.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions regarding the
matter being referred to staff and to Mr. Lyons.
On motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Hinchman second, the
City Council set the matter for public hearing on March 7,
1990 and directed the City Clerk to notify the affected
citizens of the public hearing.

ADOPTION OF CITY OF

RESOLUTION NO. 90-09
CC -6 Mayor Snider abstained from discussion and voting on this
CC -8(a) agenda item, because of a possible conflict of interest.
CC -300 Mayor Snider left his seat at the Council table.
Following introduction of the matter by City Manager
Peterson, Community Development Director Schroeder
presented the following draft Annexation Policy for City
Council review and discussion:
ANNEXATION POLICY
Background
At a recent Shirtsleeve Session the City Council indicated
that it wanted to establish a policy for reviewing the
various annexation requests which have been presented since
the Appeals Court ruled that Measure "A" interfered with
the State's annexation laws.
Before developing a policy, it seemed reasonable to review
the kinds of projects which would be presented and how they
differed from one another.
Types of Annexation
1. Public - City Owned
a. Contiguous annexation would include the
two parcels added to C -Basin (Pixley
Park) south of Vine Street, east of
Beckman Road, and the proposed site for
the Industrial Substation south of East
Lodi Avenue.
b. Non-contiguous annexations would
include City -owned property which did
not abut a municipal boundary such as
White Slough Water Pollution Control
Plant.
2. All commercial or industrial projects.
3. Senior citizens housing projects.
20
220
Continued January 17, 1990
4. Mixed Use Project - Senior housing projects
with commercial or professional
5. Project which exists in the County
(Single-family dwelling, Woodbridge School,
winery).
6. Residential - Subject to the 2% growth limit.
7. Mixed Use Project - Residential with
commercial or professional with residential
subject to 2% growth limit.
8. Mixed Use Project - Residential with senior
housing with residential subject to 2%
growth limit.
I tems 1 through 5 above are not subject to the proposed 2%
growth rate and could be annexed at the City Council's
discretion. Of the eighteen proposed annexations presented
to the City Council, nine are commercial, industrial or
public. One, the Pixley Park C -Basin Addition, was
initiated by the City Council at its December 6, 1989
meeting. Two, Kettleman Properties and Sunwest Plaza, have
' environmental certification, General Plan conformity and
prezoning. One is the site for the Industrial Substation
and the final four are proposed industrial sites and
require environmental documentation and prezoning.
Of the remaining proposed additions, five (Johnson Ranch
II, Century Meadows, Batch Property, Towne Ranch and
Bridgetowne Estates) were defeated at Measure "A" elections
and all have the necessary environmental approval and
prezoning. However, they are all residential projects and
would be subject to the proposed 2% Growth Management
Review.
The last four proposed annexations, Sasaki, Geweke,
Katzakian and Thomas -Colvin, are mixed use with some
possible residential or residential. These four would be
required' to go through the entire development process as
well as the 2% rating.
Local Agency Formation Commission Policy
Since the City has had only four contiguous and four
non-contiguous annexations since Measure "A" was enacted in
1981, it appeared prudent for the Community Development
Director to review LAFCO policies and practices with that
agency's Executive Director.
} At present the Commission has no limitation on the years of
growth a City may annex; however, ten years growth or more
must be justified and may not be approved. With a 2%
21
Continued January 17, 1990
221
annual residential growth rate, it will be easy to
determine the number of years of residential growth that
are in the City. Commercial and industrial growth rates
will have to be compared with historic data.
Even though the White Slough Water Pollution Control Plant
is impacted, LAFCO will permit annexations if the City can
demonstrate that sewer service will be available in a
reasonable time period. An agreement between the developer
and the City indicating when the project would require and
receive sewer service would be more than adequate for LAFCO
purposes.
San Joaquin LAFCO still requires that the City be the Lead
Agency for CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act)
purposes and that all annexation proposals be prezoned
before being submitted to the Commission.
Proposed Annexation Policy
Since the eight types of annexations fall into four
categories (i.e., publicly owned, outside the 2% growth
rate, within the 2% growth rate or existing developed
property), it appears that different procedures are needed
for each category.
Public Owned Properties
As in the past the City Council should continue to annex
all publicly owned property, either contiguous or
non-contiguous, upon acquisition by the City. By doing
this the City avoids paying property taxes on the land. It
also assures that the property will be totally under the
City's jurisdiction.
Projects Outside the 2% Growth Limit
The City Council should consider adopting a policy for
projects consisting of commercial, industrial, senior
citizens housing or a mix of commercial and senior housing.
1.
Besides conforming to the development process requirements,
environmental documentation and prezoning, the
developers/owners of projects in this category should enter
into an agreement with the City which indicates (1) that
sewer service will not be requested until the City
indicates it is available; and (2) that all impaction fees
will be paid before building occupancy.
Projects Inside the 2% Growth Limit
The City Council should consider adopting a policy for
residential projects which will have housing allocations
22
I Continued January 17, 1990
based on the 2% growth rate as described in the Growth
Management Program.
In addition to the normal development, CEQA and annexation
processing, the developers/owners of projects in this
category should enter into an agreement which states (1)
that the project is within the Growth Management Program
and annexation does not give the project a vesting to
develop or acquire Building Permits; (2) that sewer service
will not be requested until the City indicates it is
available; and (3) that all impaction fees will be paid
before building occupancy.
Projects Which Exist in the Count
The City Council should consider adopting a policy for
parcels already developed in the County.
Owners of projects in this group should enter into an
agreement which states (1) that sewer service will not be
requested until the City indicates it is available; (2)
that all applicable impaction fees will be paid; and (3)
that a standard deferral agreement will be signed
indicating that the property will be brought to City
j Standards (curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights, etc.)
when the City requires the improvements.
Community Development Director Schroeder also presented the
following letter which had been received from Public Works
Director Ronsko:
We have reviewed the draft policy dated December 13, 1989.
It is a good review of the subject; however, we have a few
comments we feel should be considered by the Council.
1. The categories described all assume the
annexations are for essentially undeveloped
land for which the land use will change.
However, a significant portion of the
unincorporated land within the General Plan
boundaries is already developed. We may see
separate requests for these parcels, or they
may be joined with other larger parcels to
prevent creation of islands or pockets.
There are a number of implications we may
want to consider, mainly in the area of
public improvements and fees. Peach and
Willow Streets are good examples of what
could happen. What do we require if all of
Woodbridge wants to annex?
2. It was mentioned that 5 residential projects
subject to the 2% growth limit have all the
necessary environmental approval. We
23
Continued January 17, 1990
223
question the validity of the EIRs given
their age and changed conditions in Lodi.
We also assume they will be changed to meet
the new General Plan designations (such as
only 65% single-family) and other
requirements necessary to pass through an
allocation system.
3. All impact fees will not necessarily be tied
to building occupancy. Since we will have
an adopted capital improvement program, we
can collect fees at final map filing. One
advantage in collecting various fees at
different stages of development is that the
cost is spread to different segments of the
development industry. Also, earlier
collection will help discourage premature
land development.
City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had
been received from Ronald B. Thomas:
I regret that I cannot attend tonight's meeting; however, I
would like you to consider the following:
1. I have read the staff recommendations, met
with the City Manager and Community
Development Director and feel your
consideration and adoption of a policy is
very appropriate at this time in order to
begin the work that we all know will
eventually need to be done.
2. Establish specific procedures and where they
differentiate from Pre Measure A procedures.
3. Outline estimated costs involved to petition.
4. Establish an estimated time frame for
processing an annexation request.
5. Establish an estimated date to begin the
rating process and the relevant cut off date
for projects to be included in the process.
Also, where in the development process they need to be to
qualify for said rating consideration.
Addressing the City Council regarding the matter was Janet
Pruss, 2421 Diablo Drive, Lodi, California.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to staff. A number of changes to the draft policy were
suggested by the City Council.

AWARD - CONTRACT FOR
WHITE SLOUGH WATER
POLLUTION CONTROL
FACILITY EXPANSION
PROJECT, 12751 NORTH
THORNTON ROAD
RESOLUTION NO. 90-11
CC -12(c) The City Council was advised that bids for the Contract for
CC -300 White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Expansion
Project, 12751 North Thornton Road were first opened on
November 1, 1989. At that time, the City received six bids
ranging from approximately $12M to $16M. The engineer's
estimate was $8.8M and since Lodi did not have sufficient
funds to award the project as bid, the City Council
rejected all bids on November 21, 1989. The City Council
also approved a revised set of plans and specifications
which removed certain items from the bid document and also
provided for deductive alternate bids.
Bids were again opened on December 15, 1989 and again six
bids were received. These bids include a base bid plus six
deductive alternates. The base bids ranged from $9.9M to
$11.OM. Alder Engineering was low by over $500,000 based
on the deductive alternates chosen. The submittal by the
low bidder was challenged by the second low bidder, F&H
Construction. On January 3, 1990, the City Council again
rejected all bids and the project was again readvertised.
25
Continued January 17, 1990 225
On January 16, 1990, bids were opened and only two bids
were received. Alder Engineering was again low bidder and
F&H Construction submitted the other bid.
A recap of the base bids with deductive alternates A and D
is shown below:
Alder F&H
Engineering Construction
Base Bid $9,962,114 $10,347,000
Deductive Alternate A [242,360] [212,000]
Deductive Alternate D [38,536] [48,000]
$9,681,218 $10,087,000
Difference $405,782
The Finance Department has determined that we will have
approximately $11,250,000 available. The expenditures to
complete the project are estimated as follows:
Construction Contract $ 9,681,218
Contract Administration,
Inspection and 0&M Manual 581,000
Discharge Permit and Dilution Study 23,000
Contingencies 300,000
Estimated Cost Total $10,585,218
Estimated Funds Available $11,250,000
City Attorney McNatt addressed the City Council regarding
the matter and presented the following protest letter that
had been received from F & H Construction:
This protest is being filed by F & H Construction Company,
the second lowest responsible bidder in the above
designated bid project.
F & H Construction protests the award of the bid to Alder
Construction Company in that said bid is an irregular bid
and non-responsive, which irregularity is of such a
substantial nature that it affords the Alder Company an
advantage over the other bidders and affects one or more of
the main and substantial elements that were contemplated
and considered in reaching a price figure and that further
the results of that irregular bid by Alder Company would
26
2 6,. Continued January 17, 1990
affect the amount of the bid to the detriment of the City
of Lodi and the other bidders.
The substance of the objection relates to the use of Karris
as the Instrumentation Supplier under the designation of
Equipment Suppliers.
Prior to the bid submittals, F & H Construction Company
contacted the Engineers, Black and Veatch concerning the
acceptability and qualification of Instrumentation firms
and manufacturers. F & H Construction was informed on two
occasions by the Engineers that Karris was not qualified
and so would not be acceptable.
F & H Construction also requested the Engineers to clarify
the bidding language. Thereafter, on January 5, 1990, by
Addendum 5, page 2, a clarification was issued by the
Engineers as follows:
"Page 13400-2, Paragraph 2 add the
following: The System Suppliers shall be
Control Manufacturing Company, Inc. or
Trans-dyn Controls only."
Thereafter, on January 10, 1990, an Addendum 6 was issued
providing as follows:
1. Section 13400 - INSTRUMENTATION, Page
13400-1 Paragraph 2 in the fourth line of
the first paragraph following the words
"systems for" add the word "municipal."
2. Page 13400-2, Paragraph 2 the sentence
beginning with "the system supplier" added
under Addendum number 5 shall be deleted and
replaced with the following:
"Approve system suppliers are Control
Manufacturing Company, Inc., or Trans-dyn
Control. Other proposed suppliers will be
strictly evaluated according to the above
requirements."
It was F & H Construction's understanding from this
language and the understanding of their subcontractor who
bid this portion of the work, namely, Central Sierra
Electric that Karris was not a qualified supplier.
Karris's bid for the Instrumentation was considerably less
than the Instrumentation Supplier that F & H Construction
used through Central Sierra Electric which was Control
Manufacturing Company. The apparent difference would have
been in excess of $50,000.00.
27
Continued January 11, 1990 227
Both F & H Construction and Central Sierra Electric Company
had reviewed the qualifications of Karris and had concluded
that they were not qualified for this particular project,
in that Karris had not done any similar projects and had
not completed any waste treatment plants.
It is the position of F & H Construction Company and
Central Sierra Electric that the bid of Alder Company was
an irregular and nonresponsive bid as set forth above and
that said Company should not be awarded the bid in this
project as set forth above and summed up herewith:
1. The bid of Alder Company included a
non-qualified bidder i.e., a material
supplier, Karris.
2. F & H Construction's bid would have been
lower had it been able to use Karris through
it's subcontractor, Central Sierra Electric
whose bid would have correspondingly been
lower.
3. In the alternative, if the City does not
accept Karris, but contrary to the terms of
said bid and the law accepts Alder Company's
bid it should be provided that no additional
funds will be allowed Alder Company in the
event they choose a supplier other than
Karris.
The City Attorney also advised that the following protest
letter had been received from Central Sierra Electric
Company, Inc.:
Central Sierra Electric hereby protests the award of the
bid of the above designated project to Alder Construction
Company.
This protest is based on the grounds that said bid was an
irregular bid and was a nonresponsive bid as such.
Central Sierra Electric bid this job as an Electrical
Contractor and a supplier, among other items of the
Equipment and particularly the instrumentation and used as
it's supplier of that particular item, Control
Manufacturing Company, Inc.
At the time of the bid, I was aware of Addendum 5 and also
Addendum 6. I had examined the qualifications of Karris
and had concluded from my examination of the submittal of
the qualifications that Karris was not a qualified or
acceptable Equipment Supplier under the terms of the
Specifications.
99
Continued January 17, 1990
Most notable was that there was a requirement for the
performance and completion of other similar work and Karris
had no similar projects and has not, to date, completed any
Wastewater Treatment Plants of this nature.
With the opinion that Karris was not a qualified or
acceptable bidder, I chose to use Control Manufacturing
Company, Inc. whose bid was at least $50,000.00 in excess
of a bid that I could have prepared had I used Karris.
If the bid of Alder Construction Company is accepted by the
City of Lodi, I feel that I would be detrimentally affected
by any such action as it definitely affected the amount of
my bid price, which would have been considerably less had I
been able to use Karris.
Speaking on behalf of the F & H Construction protest was
Clark Fregien, Secretary -Treasurer of the Company.
Also speaking on behalf of the F & H Construction protest
was Jeff Hoffman, 691 Wentworth Street, Manteca.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff, the City Attorney and to those who had given
testimony regarding the matter.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Reid second, the
City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-11 awarding the bid
for the contract for White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility Expansion Project, 12751 North Thornton Road (Base
Bid with Deductive Alternates A & D) to Alder Engineering

SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR
DATA PROCESSING PERSONNEL
RES. NO. 90-12
CC -34 City Manager Peterson advised the City Council that the
CC -300 City has known for sometime that the salary level of our
Data Processing Supervisor is inadequate. The top step at
the present time for this position is $2936.72 per month.
This inequity became obvious when we saw an advertisement
for a Programmer Analyst, a position subordinate to the
Supervisor position, for the City of Folsom with a salary
of $3,106.00 per month.
A salary survey of Mid -Management classifications will be
done this spring. Because we are so obviously out of line
on the compensation for this class, it is recommended that
this adjustment be made at this time. The Personnel
Department is in the process of developing a class
specification for a new position (Data Processing
Programmer II) approved in this year's budget. When that
is completed staff will return to the City Council for
action on recommendations for compensation adjustments for
the balance of the positions in that division. After the
Supervisor compensation has been established, we will be in
a position to recommend appropriate supervisory
differentials. Were the City to loose the services of the
incumbent, staff would recommend this new compensation
level to recruit a replacement. That is what the market
place dictates. It is only fair that this level now be
established for the individual in that position. The
position is critical to the City's day-to-day operations.
We have surveyed the management survey cities and find
there are seven cities which have comparable positions. We
looked at percent differentials between the position and
the City Manager and found that the pattern of differential
fell around 60%.
In our survey we found that all titles of the comparable
positions contained the word mana er, Data Processing
Manager, Management Information Services Manager, Data
Systems Manager.
The City Manager, therefore, recommended the position of
Data Processing Supervisor be retitled Data Processing
Manager and the salary range for this position be
established as shown, effective January 22, 1990:

REQUEST FOR SUPPORT OF
POLICE DEPARTMENT
PARTICIPATION IN
COMPREHENSIVE ALCOHOL
AND DRUG PREVENTION
EDUCATION GRANT APPROVED
CC -63 Captain John Martin of the Lodi Police Department advised
CC -105 the City. Council that the Police Department is in the third
CC -175 year of a three year Drug Suppression Program. This has
been a joint effort with the Lodi Unified School District
and they have paid 50% of the City share of cost. Both the
Police Department and the School District feel the project
has been successful in reaching younger children before
they have become involved in drug use. Of course the full
impact of the program will not be felt for a number of
years as those receiving the training still have a number
of school years facing them.
Some of the other benefits of the program have been:
Positive Officer, Student contacts.
Better working relations between the Police Department and
the Schools.
School officials feel the grant has been successful to the
extent they are applying for, and will probably receive,
funding to hire and completely pay for an additional
officer to work in the Drug Suppression Program, giving us
two full time officers and the ability to reach all
students in the selected age group within the Unified
School District. In the event the funding should become
unavailable in the future the Council could decide to
abolish the position. The allocated officer could be
absorbed until a vacancy occurs.

Mr. Dave Mende of the Lodi Unified School District
presented the following information regarding the
District's anti -substance education grant application:
The application has been reviewed by the Lodi Substance
Abuse Council and the District Health Task Force.
It is my understanding that the grant allotments will come
via San Joaquin County Office of Education, as follows:
Phase I: $59,000 from CADPE (pending notification in
April 1990)
Phase II: $138,000 for education in the harmful
effects of tobacco use (grant application
due January 30, 1990)
Pase III: Funding for AIDS education (future)
Phase IV: Funding for genetics education (future)
Phase V: Funding for Drug Free School and Community
Act (new allotment --future). We will be
receiving $88,000 from the 1986 Drug Free
Schools and Communities grant in February.
Our initial policy is to obtain funds to provide:
1. an officer in every intermediate classroom,
2. training for 180 intermediate teachers this
spring in substance abuse and curriculum,
and
3. training for 20 people in family education,
who will then offer district -wide parent
education classes.
Following discussion, the City Council, on motion of
Council Member Olson, Hinchman second, indicated its
support of the Police Department's participation in the
Lodi Unified School District Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug
Prevention Education Grant Application and approved the
hiring of an additional Police Officer for the program, the
cost of which is to be paid for by the grant to the Lodi
Unified School District.
SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION

CONTAINER RECYCLING AND

RESOLUTION NO. 90-13
CC -6 The City Council was apprised that on September 29, 1989,
CC -175 Governor Dukmejian signed into effect landmark
33
Continued January 17, 1990
233
CC -300 legislation AB939, which calls for the establishment of
an aggressive program to reduce the amounts of waste
generated in California. Specifically, this legislation
mandates a 25% reduction in the amount of solid waste
produced by 1995 and a 50% reduction by the year 2000.
Fortunately, California Waste Removal Systems and the City
of Lodi are in an excellent position to meet these
requirements. We presently have in place many of the
components necessary to meet these mandates; such as a
commercial and residential curbside recycling program, a
state of the art composting program, a waste wood recovery
program, and an excellent waste reduction education program
in the local schools.
In an effort to enhance and expand existing programs, the
State of California, through the Department of
Conservation, is making $2 million worth of funds available
to the cities and counties who have established programs
such as our community. This poses an excellent opportunity
for our community to significantly expand our residential
curbside recycling program. It is my recommendation to
the Council to make an application for a portion of these
funds. Presented for Council's review was a draft of an
application for those funds predicated upon our existing
programs. Our application requires Council action in the
form of a resolution. The deadline for submission of this
application is January 31, 1990. Consequently, time is of
the essence.
This program gives benefits to our community in terms of
environmental, economic and social issues.
Addressing the City Council regarding the matter and
responding to questions was David Vaccarezza, President,
California Waste Removal Systems, Inc.
On motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Reid second, the
City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-13 - A Resolution of
the Lodi City Council Approving the Submission of an
Application under the California Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act.
