SYSTEM PERMIT APPROVED
CC -154 The City Council approved entering into a joint powers
CC -90 agreement with the Central Valley Wastewater Managers
Association to participate in an analysis of the State
Water Quality Management Plan and the State's present
NPDES Standard Provisions and authorized the City Manager
and City Clerk to execute the agreement on behalf of the
City.
The City Council was advised that at the October 26, 1989
meeting of the Central Valley Wastewater Managers
Association (CVWMA), the attached proposal from Piper and
Marbury was submitted for review. The proposal addresses
the review and analysis of the State Water Quality
Management Plan and the present NPDES Standard Provisions.
It would also include the development of a model NPDES
permit to be used as guidance in developing discharge
requirements.
The cost of the proposal is estimated to be $55,000.00 and
would be shared proportionally by members of CVWMA based on
their total flow for a twelve month period. Each member's
share would be a percentage of the combined flows of all
participating members. (Cities of Lodi, Stockton, Tracy,
Merced, Manteca and Oakdale along with Sacramento
Regional). The City of Lodi's share based on a twelve
month flow of 2,400 million gallons would be approximately

The cost for this proposal is nominal when compared to the
potential $50,000.00 per day which could be assessed by the
Regional Board for violations. Lodi itself could be liable

to a suit brought by a citizen's group based on improper
and vague limitations pointed out in the issues section of
the proposal.
The use of floc; in our present discharge requirement is one
such issue which could result in a penalty for the City of
Lodi as it presently exceeds the daily maximum flow of 5.8
million gallons. If taken to court by a citizen's group it
would be forseeable a judgement against the City of Lodi
could be obtained.
Receiving water impacts such as "undesirable
discoloration", "objectionable growths" and "causing a
nuisance" are examples of vague limitations presently
included in the City's discharge requirements which could
be difficult for Lodi to develop a defense should a
citizen's group wish to pursue action against the City.
In addition Piper and Marbury suggest permittees should not
readily accept permit limits which are incorrect and
unsupportable. If future, more restrictive discharge
requirements were to be based on outdated or overly
conservative permit procedures there could be a cost saving
in keeping them at present levels. For example if
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Suspended Solids (SS)
limits were not lowered, there could be savings in power
and future design requirements. Other areas which could be
affected are disinfection and sludge disposal.
Bacause this is a timely topic in regard to Lodi's
impending discharge permit renewal and because Lodi could
be liable to financial penalties, it is recommended Lodi
participate.

High School vicinity.
RESIDENTIAL PERMIT
PARKING IN THE LODI
HIGH SCHOOL VICINITY
RESOLUTION NO. 90-30
CC -48(1) The City Council was advised that currently, parking in the
CC -300 residential area east of Lodi High School is prohibited
between certain hours. Parking 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., school days only, on Walnut Street between Ham Lane
and Pacific Avenue, Oak Street between Ham Lane and Pacific
Avenue, Wellington Way, and the east side of Pacific
Avenue from Walnut Street to 70 feet south of Elm Street.
Parking is also prohibited between the hours of 6:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., school days only, on the east side of Pacific
Avenue from Elm Street to 70 feet south of Elm, and the
west side of Pacific Avenue from Elm Street to 100 feet
south of Elm Street. These restrictions are currently
enforced by the Police Department. They were imposed to
reduce high school parking and other problems in the
residential area. However, they also restrict use by
residents.
15
301
Continued March 7, 1990
Two parking alternatives for the residential neighborhood
were described as set forth.
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. This alternative is recommended by the
Police Department.
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.
Both alternatives will have similar costs of installing new
signs and purchasing and selling permits. The permit
program would affect the frontage of 61 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 (total of 97 units). Currently, the permits for the
residential parking program in the vicinity of Pacific
Coast Producers (Zone A) costs the residents $3.00 per
permit for a 3 -year period. The City Council may want to
re-evaluate this fee. It will cost approximately $1,000 to
install new signs for residential permit use. According to
the Finance Department, 500 parking stickers will cost
approximately $250 or $325 for 1,000 stickers. This does
not include administration costs such as recordkeeping or
distribution. Based on these costs, a permit price of $13
per unit or $6.50 per permit would recover the initial cost.
The Finance Department now enforces the Pacific Coast
Producers residential permit parking and they have
indicated 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.
The following persons addressed the City Council regarding
the matter:

limits (No Parking" 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

METHODS OF COLLECTION
OF SIDEWALK REPAIR COSTS
RESOLUTION NO. 90-35
CC -45(e) The City Council was reminded that at its meeting of CC -300
February 21, it asked what methods were available for the
collection of costs of the maintenance of the sidewalks.
The Streets and Highways Code delineates several
alternatives if the bill for the replacement or repair of
the sidewalk is not paid within five days of the billing.
Those alternatives are listed below.
1. File a Notice of Lien oi; the property
(Streets and Highways Code §5627)
This lien is filed with the County Recorder
and remains on the property until it is paid
or until the City files an action to
foreclose the lien in the manner and under
the same procedures as that which delinquent
bonds are foreclosed. With this
alternative, it could be years before the
City collects.
2. Order the Notice of Lien to be turned over
to the Tax Collector (Streets and Highways
Code §5628)
The Tax Collector would collect the cost
with the next year's property tax and, if it
is not paid with next year's taxes, it would
become delinquent and be handled the same as
other delinauent property taxes. This is
the method used for the street light
WA
308
Continued March 7, 1990
assessment districts and installation of
sidewalks.
City Attorney McNatt addressed the Council as to the
appropriate process for setting interest.
3. Determine that the cost can be paid in
annual installments not to exceed five years
(Streets and Highways Code §5628.1)
The legislative body may determine that
annual installment payments, not to exceed
five, may be made. These payments would
include interest on the unpaid balance. The
interest rate must be determined by the
legislative body but not to exceed the rate
permitted by bonds under §53531 of the
Government Code. The rate in the Government
Code is "12 percent per year... unless some
higher rate is permitted by law".
It was staff's recommendation that the City turn the Notice
of Lien over to the Tax Collector to be collected with the
next year's property tax if the property owner has not paid
within the required time. This method would be consistent
with the way the City now collects for street lighting
districts and installation of sidewalk.
It should be pointed out that it would take considerable
Finance Department staff time to administer an installment
payment program. Under the Sidewalk Repair Policy, there
is a potential over the next few years of more than 150
areas within the City where sidewalks must be replaced by
the property owner. Administering the payment program
would require extensive recordkeeping to bill the property
owners at the proper time, compute and keep track of
interest, etc. If the owner defaults, the City would have
to start the lien process from the beginning.
On motion of Council Member Olson, Reid second, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 90-35 determining the method
of collection of sidewalk repair costs for 315 Sierra Vista
Place, 1418 South School Street and 900 North Mills Avenue
as follows:
Alternative 2 - Order the Notice of Lien to be turned over
to the Tax Collector (Streets and Highways Code Section
5628). The Tax Collector would collect the cost with the
next year's property tax, and if it is not paid with next
year's taxes, it would become delinquent and be handled the
same as .other delinquent property taxes.

SURPLUS CITY TRUCK:
DONATION! TO
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP
309
CC -6 City Attorney McNatt introduced the matter advising the
CC -20 City Council that The City is presently offering for sale
CC -47 to the public certain used vehicles no longer required for
City service. The California Striped Bass Club, a private
non-profit group has made inquiry concerning one of the
vehicles, a Ford flatbed truck. It is apparently the
Club's desire to circumvent the public sale bid process and
get the truck so that it may be presented to the United
Anglers Chapter of Casa Grande High School in
Petaluma. This latter group is carrying on a program to
clean up Adobe Creek near Petaluma, and to reintroduce
steelhead trout to the waterway. It is my understanding
that the truck would be used to transport fish from the
hatchery to the creek.
I am still not sure if the Striped Bass Club wants the City
to donate the truck, offer it at a reduced price, or simply
agree to sell it for the indicated minimum bid ($1500)
without going through the competitive bid sale procedures.
The question presented was whether this would violate the
legal prohibitions against making a gift of public funds or
property.
ANALYSIS:
Article 16, Section 6 of the California Constitution
prohibits making a gift of public funds or property to
individuals or organizations. An exception to this rule is
the "public purpose" situation. In such cases, where the
gift or use serves a "public purpose" (as determined by the
legislative body responsible for the funds or property) it
is permissible and does not violate constitutional
prohibitions.
This law has been interpreted in ways which sometimes
appear inconsistent to the casual observer. For example, a
grant by a county for relief of victims of a flood was
declared void under this Article (Patty v. Colgan 31
P.1133) but cities or counties may channel federal
assistance to individuals under the Federal Disaster Relief
Act (62 Ops. AG 562).
This illustrates the problem of determining what is a true
"public purpose". The courts have said they will not
overturn the determination of a legislative body in such
matters "... so long as that determination has a reasonable
basis" (San Francisco Board of Supervisors v. Dolan
(1975) 119 Cal.Rptr. 347
24
L
310
Continued March 7, 1990
The cases found suggest that a "reasonable basis" will be
found if the public purpose served is one the public agency
could have acted upon directly. As stated by the
California Attorney General, the test is "... whether the
money or property is to be used for a public or private
purpose, and if it is for a public purpose within the
jurisdiction of the appropriating board or body, it is not
a gift" (28 Ops. AG 282).
Using this language 'as a guide, the question in our
situation then becomes whether the City of Lodi could spend
money on the cleanup of a waterway and reintroduction of
game fish, since that is the purpose for which the surplus
truck is sought. The City Attorney believes the City could
do so legally.
It is my understanding that Lodi has in the past
participated in both clean water and game fish protection
programs, with no questions that these are "public
purposes." It is also noted that the California Department
of Fish and Game and Sonoma County have contributed more
than $133,000 toward this project for which the truck would
be used .
WiMMICi'M
Although the subject site (Adobe Creek) is not physically
within the limits of Lodi, I believe that the City could
legally assist or cooperate with the organization working
on the project. This appears to fit the definition of
"public purpose" as defined by the courts.
In considering the request, however, the Council may wish
to weigh the precedent which would be set by an affirmative
vote.
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Hinchman, Reid second, the City Council declared a Ford
flatbed truck as surplus property and donated it to the
United Anglers of Casa Grande High School to be used
for their project to rebuild their fish hatchery. The
motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Olson, Pinkerton, and
Reid

The City Council was advised that as the Square continues

rent for private activities.
Rental fees for the multipurpose room were originally set
in 1982 and have remained constant. Since that date, the
room has been improved including a hardwood floor, new
ceiling, paint, air conditioning and. blinds. Staff is
recommending an increase of $100.00 per event to offset
improvements and maintenance expenses.
The other assessments are new rates which are comparable to
other similar facilities in the north county.
At this time, weekends at Hutchins Street Square are
completely booked for the next six months. Most rentals
are dates calendared six months to one year in advance.

CC -90 The City Council was reminded that the City has entered
CC -183 into an agreement with the engineering firm of Brown and
Caldwell to evaluate and do preliminary engineering for
treatment of DBCP contaminated wells. However, this is
only a portion of the overall solution. Since the City
must drill new wells to accommodate present and future
growth, the purpose of this additional work is to increase
our chances of drilling new wells that will meet the DBCP
MCL for the life of the well. Drilling new replacement
wells may be a less expensive alternate than treatment.
Successfully doing this, however, requires testing,
monitoring and engineering analysis beyond the scope of our
past practices. The direction and scope of this work will
depend on results of initial cost estimates and trial test
wells. Therefore, this agreement differs from previous
agreements in that a detailed description of work is not
included. Instead, the agreement sets general terms and
conditions. Subsequent "Task Orders" will define specific
work to be done by Brown and Caldwell. These would be
approved by staff under this general approval. The City
will also be performing a major part of the work in
arranging for drilling sites, preliminary well site design,
laboratory work, and project coordination and review.
The tasks as presently envisioned and a rough cost are as
follows:
Task/Description Approximate Cost
1. Evaluation and selection of test well procedures - $ 6,000
This will include cost estimate and preliminary

designs to determine the appropriate procedures
for subsequent work.
Task/Description Approximate Cost
2. Test well drilling evaluation, analysis and $11,000
recommendations for additional work - Brown and
Caldwell along with a City .engineer will
participate in drilling approximately three test
wells and define subsequent work.
3. Mokelumne River Monitoring Plan - Brown and Caldwell $ 4,000
will prepare a recommendation on testing
Mokelumne River water in relation to production well
water quality.
4. Monitoring well system - Based on results of above $ 5,000
work, Brown & Caldwell will recommend a system
or plan for monitoring Lodi's water supply.

This work will be accomplished this spring in conjunction
with other City and Brown and Caldwell work on the DBCP
issue. Given the undefined nature of the work, formal
deadlines could not be established at this time. Both
Brown and Caldwell and City staff are anxious to proceed
on the project; however, coordination with drillers and the
amount of City involvement would make any specific
deadlines unrealistic even if a scope of work was defined
in more detail.
A large part of this work will involve the use of qualified
drillers. This cost, not shown above, could range from
$20,000 to $60,000 for the anticipated three test wells
depending on a number of factors. Brown and Caldwell
needs to have control over and be able to schedule and
direct the drillers. While Brown and Caldwell could
arrange for a drilling subcontractor, this arrangement
would increase the cost to the City by 15%. Provided they
could act as our agent, Brown and Caldwell is willins to
let the City directly hire the driller they recommend.
While this would save the City a considerable amount of
money, it also requires a waiver of the formal bidding
procedure which staff recommends.
Funds for this work are already included in the Water
Capital Improvement Program.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Olson second, the
City- Council approved a Task Order Agreement with Brown and
Caldwell for engineering services to develop test well,
monitoring well and Mokelumne River monitoring procedures,
and waive formal bidding procedures for test/monitoring
well drilling.
