including a new concrete tile roof. The cost of the
handicapped modifications is 70% of the total according to
the architect's estimate.
The handicap work is being funded with Block Grant funds;

Council meeting of April 4, 1990 for the purpose of
reviewing and receiving public comment on the adoption of
the 1988 Uniform Fire Code.
ACCEPTANCE OF
IMPROVEMENTS AT
CENTURY PLACE,
NORTHWEST CORNER OF
CENTURY BOULEVARD AND
CHEROKEE LANE
RES. NO. 90-48
CC -46 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-48 accepting the
CC -300 development improvements for Century Place, located at the
northwest corner of Century Boulevard and Cherokee Lane.
Improvements at Century Place have been completed in
substantial conformance with the requirements of the

Continued March 21, 1990
Development Agreement between the City of Lodi and Conejo
Builders dated May 3, 1989 and as specifically set forth in
the plans and specifications approved by the City Council.
No public streets were dedicated on this subdivision map.
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION
AMENDMENT - SPEED ZONE
SURVEY ON CHEROKEE LANE
FROM KETTLEMAN LANE TO
LODI AVENUE
RES. NO. 90-41
CC -48(a) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-41 amending the
CC -300 Traffic Resolution No. 87-163, thereby approving the speed
zone survey on Cherokee Lane between Kettleman Lane and
Lodi Avenue.
The City Council was advised that in the winter of 1989, it
was brought to our attention by the Police Department that
tickets on Cherokee Lane south of Lodi Avenue were not
being honored by the court. This was due to a citation
that was issued in that area and appealed to the Superior
Court. The Superior Court overruled the Municipal Court
and did not agree with the City's survey on this street.
In order to satisfy the courts, another speed survey was
performed. The only change from the previous survey is the
addition of a short 40 MPH transition area between the
segments of 45 MPH and 35 MPH. These proposed speed
limits were reviewed by the Municipal Court judges and the
Police Department.
Staff recommended that Council approve the proposed speed
limits so the Police Department can again enforce the area
using radar.

CITY MANAGER AND
CITY CLERK AUTHORIZED
TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT
FOR THE COUNTY OF
SAN JOAQUIN TO PROVIDE
DATA PROCESSING SERVICES
TO THE CITY OF LODI FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1990-91
CC -90 The City Council approved an agreement with the County of
San Joaquin to provide certain data processing services
associated with Police Department operations.
The City Council was advised that for the past several
years, the City of Lodi has contracted with the County of
San Joaquin for certain data processing services associated
with Police Department operations. This agreement reflects
no changes over the 1989/90 agreement.
TESTING SERVICES FOR
WHITE SLOUGH WATER
POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY
EXPANSION, 12751 NORTH
THORNTON ROAD APPROVED
CC -90 The City Council approved retaining the firm of
Kleinfelder, Inc. of Stockton to perform testing services
for the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility
(WSWPCF) expansion.
The City Council was advised that the City's agreement with
Black and Veatch for construction management and
inspection for the WSWPCF expansion provides that the City
will retain the services of a testing laboratory. During
the bidding of the construction project, the City received
a number of calls from firms wishing to provide these
services. Therefore, staff requested proposals from these
firms.
Proposals were received from the following six firms:
Kleinfelder, Inc. Stockton
BSK & Associates Pleasanton
Signet Testing Labs West Sacramento
PDW Enterprises Napa
Testing Engineers, Inc. Stockton
United States Testing Co., Inc. Modesto
It appears all of the firms have the ability to do the job
although the resources of PDW Enterprises were relatively
limited. It also appears that some of the firms
anticipated more actual inspection work than we anticipate.
7
326
Continued March 21, 1990
The large majority of the work involves taking and testing
concrete samples and soil compaction testing. The
proposals were evaluated with that in mind. We considered
the firms' ability to respond and travel issues. Black and
Veatch also participated in our evaluation.
Kleinfelder, Inc. has performed this type of work for the
City in the past and has done a good job. Black and
Veatch was also very comfortable with selecting
Kleihfelder.
Cost was not a primary factor. However, it appears that
due to their proximity to the project and a 2 -hour minimum
instead of 4 or 8 hours as with some of the firms,
Kleinfelder will have the lowest cost.
The estimated cost of this work is approximately $25,000.
The actual cost will depend on the construction schedule.
This work will be charged to the White Slough expansion
construction account.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
AGREEMENT WITH
LISA RUDLOFF AS
CAMP DIRECTOR FOR
CAMP HUTCHINS APPROVED
RES. NO. 90-43
CC -90 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-43 approving an
CC -34 employment contract agreement with Lisa Rudloff as Camp
CC -300 Hutchins Coordinator.
When the budget for Camp Hutchins was approved, funds were
budgeted to hire a Recreation Specialist to function as
Camp Coordinator. For the past two years Ms. Lisa
Rudloff has been working on a full time basis. In
fairness to Ms. Rudloff, we should provide her with a
more permanent basis of employment than we now have with
her. Also, we should be providing her with some employment
benefits.
Because the efficacy of Camp Hutchins is still being
evaluated, we are not recommending this position be made a
regular position, but rather give Ms. Rudloff an
employment contract agreement ending June 30, 1991.
If Camp Hutchins will be an ongoing year round program, we
can then make this position a regular position. By having
the employee on a contract basis, the City certainly has
more flexibility in assignment.

The City Council was advised that in the Parks and
Recreation 89-90 budget, City Council authorization was
granted to establish a senior level Park Ranger.
A classification study was completed to establish the
appropriate allocation; the study concluded that a new
classification should be established. The new
classification, Senior Park Ranger requires journey level

with no change to minimum qualifications.

CC -47 purchase sound equipment for the Senior Complex North hall.
The City Council was advised that the Senior Complex has
been dedicated and is ready for operation. The sound
system for the north hall was not included in the
construction contract. To facilitate large group
functions, we need to purchase $2,500 worth of accessories,
including the amplifier, tuner, cassette deck and
microphones.
LODI PARK AND RECREATION
DEPARTMENT AQUATIC FEE
ADJUSTMENTS APPROVED
RES. NO. 90-46
CC -56 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-46 approving
CC -300 Lodi Parks and Recreation aquatic fee adjustments as set
forth below:
Swim Lessons (per student/10 lessons days, one-half hour
each) Was $5.00 Adjustment $10.00
Pool Recreation Entrance Fees
Adu t - Was 1.00 Adjustment $1.25
Student (17 and under) Was $ .60 Adjustment $ .75
6 years and under - Free when accompanied by an adult
Swim Passes
Adult - Was 20 swims $10.00 Adjust to 15 swims $10.00
($.67 per swim)
Student - Was 20 swims $ 5.00 Adjust to 15 swims $ 5.00
($.33 per swim)
The Parks and Recreation Department has not adjusted the
acquatic fees in eight (8) years. We feel that the cost of
offering this service has gone up over this period of time
and our attached survey (completed by Recreation Supervisor
Mike Reese) indicates that we can improve our cost per
service position and at the same time not put it out of
reach of the public.
The adjusted fees compare favorable with those of other
cities.
The above proposal has been reviewed by the Parks and
Recreation Commission and carries their recommendation for
adjustment.

CC -27(a) North Thornton Road to Delmer L. Almer in the amount of
$2,657.84.
The City Council was advised that the City went to bid for
the removal of the 2,550 square foot ranch -style home
located on North Thornton Road on the recently purchased
acreage for the White Slough expansion. One bid was
received for the house.
If this house is not removed, it will have to be demolished
and the land cleared. The sale of this house includes the
removal of all concrete, foundations, and other debris from
the land.
The bidder will be submitting a faithful performance bond
and insurance for this work. It was recommended that the
bidder be awarded this contract.
RETENTION OF CONSULTING
ENGINEER FOR CORROSION
CONTROL ANALYSIS APPROVED
CC -88 The City Council approved the retention of the corrosion
CC -90 engineering firm of Villalobos and Associates for
services amounting to less than $5,000.
The City Council was advised that Public Works Engineering
wishes to retain the firm of Villalobos and Associates
for corrosion control engineering for tasks under $5,000
when necessary. Any project involving burying steel
structures should be checked for corrosion potential and,
if necessary, have a corrosion control system designed.
The firm of Villalobos and Associates from Oakland has
been highly recommended by other consulting firms and has
done good work on City projects in the past.
Since this type of work is a professional service and is a
relatively minor part of the design process, it is in the
best interests of the City to forego the bidding process
described in the City Code. Due to the minor extent of
work, a formal consulting agreement is not needed.
Immediate projects to be done are the lift station being
installed at Lodi Lake for the north restroom and an
investigation of corrosion potential at Well 7 located next
to the McLane substation.

LABORATORY FOR MATERIALS
TESTING SERVICES APPROVED
CC -90 The City Council approved the retention of the engineering
firm of Kleinfelder, Inc. for services amounting to less
than $5,000.
The City Council was advised that Public Works Engineering
wishes to retain the firm of Kleinfelder, Inc. of
Stockton for materials testing under $5,000 when
necessary. Any project involving pavement design or
construction includes testing of subgrade soil for design
parameters and testing of construction materials for
contract compliance.
The firm of Kleinfelder, Inc. has been highly recommended
by other consulting firms and has done good work on City
projects in the past.
Since this type of work is a professional service and is a
relatively minor part of the design and construction
process, it is in the best interests of the City to forego
the bidding process described in the City Code. Due to the
minor nature of the work, a formal consulting agreement is
not needed. The total cost of the work on any project is
usually less than $1,500.

COMMENTS BY THE
PUBLIC ON NON
AGENDA ITEMS The following comments were received under the "Comments by
the public on non -agenda items" segment of the agenda:
FINAL CONCERT OF THE
SEASON ANNOUNCED FOR
LODI SYMPHONY
Eileen St. Yves encouraged the community to attend the
last concert for this season of the Lodi Symphony which
will be held April 7, 1990.
LODI COMMUNITY CONCERT
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE ANNOUNCED
Janet Pruss announced that the Lodi Community Concert
membership drive will commence Monday, March 26, 1990 and
urged all citizens to support the Lodi Community Concert
program.
PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
the City Clerk, Mayor Snider called for the Public
Hearing to consider removal of driveways at 300 West Pine
Street.
APPEAL RE REMOVAL OF
DRIVEWAY AT 300
WEST PINE STREET
CC -53(b) The City Council was advised that at the September 18, 1989
meeting of the Site Plan and Architectural Review
Committee, the Reeves Company presented a proposal to add
3,000 square feet of office space to their existing
building.
The parking layout for this proposed expansion showed two
driveways on Pine Street, an existing 15' driveway, and a
new 15' driveway located 32' west of this driveway. An
existing 12' residential driveway on Pine Street would be
abandoned as part of this project.
It was the recommendation of the Public Works Department
that the Reeves Company abandon both existing driveways on
Pine Street and install a new 24' commercial driveway on
Pine Street to provide access to the parking lot. Mr.
14
Continued March 21, 1990
333
Z"
Reeves sent the following letter of appeal requesting the
existing 15' driveway remain. One of Mr. Reeves' concerns
is the handicapped parking stall will be eliminated by
abandoning this driveway. However, access will still be
provided to the handicapped stall by the 24' driveway.
With the installation of the 24' driveway, the 15' driveway
will serve no purpose.
This 24' driveway located near the westerly property line
will provide better onsite circulation and additional
parking on Pine Street. Pine Street is a collector street
and it is desirable to limit the number of driveway
accesses.
If this had been a totally new project instead of a
building expansion, an improved parking layout would have
been recommended.
Mr. Reeves' permit application was conditioned with
providing one 24' driveway on Pine Street. _
We would ask your approval of our original plot plan for
our new construction as submitted by Ernst & Lloyd,
Architects. We are combining lots that were previously
designated as 300 West Pine Street and 306 West Pine Street
into a single lot which will be designated as 300 West Pine
Street and adding a 3000 sq. ft. addition to our existing
building.
Staff has requested that we abandon the existing driveway
to the 300 West Pine Street entrance, close the existing
driveway on 306 West Pine Street and create a single 24'
driveway at the west end of the combined lots. There are
several reasons that we ask for your consideration to allow
the existing driveway to remain and replace the existing
driveway on 306 West Pine Street to the west end of the
property.
1. The main entrance for serving our customers
will remain asit is at the present time.
Closing the existing driveway would be very
inconvenient to customers coming to the
office.
2. It would virtually, eliminate the
handicapped parking stall we presently have
set aside. Entry would be more difficult.
3. Activity on Pine Street would not be
increased because our customers would still
be using, basically, the same four or five
parking spaces we now have in front of the
existing building. The additional new
15
334
Continued March 21, 1990
stalls will be used almost exclusively for
employee parking.
4. Considerable additional expense would be
created by tearing out a driveway recently
constructed, the interruption and replanting
of landscaping, etc., that exists.
We believe the serviceability of the office building will
be impaired if we cannot use the present driveway and ask
your consideration. We have or will comply with all other
requests, including the deeding of 2 1/4 feet of frontage
on Pleasant Avenue.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
The Reeves Company, Inc.
Insurance Brokers
Speaking on behalf of his request was Mr. B. T. Reeves, 300
W. Pine Street, Lodi.
Also addressing the City Council regarding the matter was
Mr. Tony Zupo, 310 West Pine Street, Lodi.
There being no other persons wishing to speak on the
matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
Following a lengthy discussion with questions being
directed to Staff and to those who had given testimony, the
City Council on motion of Council Member Pinkerton,
Hinchman second, accepted the proposal received from B. T.
Reeves of the Reeves Company, Inc. Insurance Brokers to
allow the existing driveway to remain and to replace the
existing driveway at 306 West Pine Street to the west end
of the property.

I'm sure that pressure for some type of smoking. regulation
will be coming up again before you.
As the owner of a coffee shop in Lodi, a business that will
be directly effected by your decision. I would like to
make this suggestion.
To start with, all of us business owners know what our
customer requests are. We know what they want in the
restaurant business, what kind of food, drink and comfort.
Basically we know what we have to do to keep the seats
filled. Filled seats are the key to our survival.
Now the fact that our country was founded on freedom of
choice, I feel the City Council has an opportunity to step
forward and advance that right.
The freedom of the business community to elect what
percentage they need to set aside for smoking and non
smoking. If they want to be all no smoking or all
smoking. We know what we need and it should be our choice.
My suggestion is, a simple signal system. A sign may be 2
feet by 2 feet. The sign could be placed in front or in a
window, in a clear view for the public.
The customer can then exercise their freedom of choice
They can go where they want and know what to expect.
Simple, easy, cost effective
own freedom of choice. The
on.

PRESERVATION OF WETLAND
AREA ALONG THE NORTH
BANK OF THE MOKELUMNE
RIVER URGED
and everyone has made their
idea this country was founded
CC -27(a) City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had
been received from Joshua A. Horner, Member, Board of
Directors, San Joaquin Audubon Society urging the
preservation of the riparian wetland area along the north
bank of the Mokelumne River between Highway 99 and
Woodbridge.
On behalf of the San Joaquin Audubon Society, I am writing
today to encourage you to adopt a resolution which would
recognize the value or, and recommend, a study concerning
the intrinsic benefits of preserving the natural status of
the riparian wetland area along the north bank of the
Mokelumne River between Highway 99 and Woodbridge.
19
339
Continued March 21, 1990
Although we recognize the necessity of development, as
conservationists, we feel that careful and thoughtful
long-range planning is essential to preserving the quality
of life that we all hope to enjoy. Riparian habitats are
unique natural areas which support a great diversity of
both plant and animal life. Additionally, the river and
its natural borders have immeasurable aesthetic and
recreational value.
Unfortunately, according to a 1981 study (enclosed) which
was presented in a paper to the California Riparian Systems
Conference, of the approximately 41,300 ha. (102,000 ac.)
of riparian forest that remain in the Central Valley,
approximately 19,800 ha. (49,000 ac.) were in a disturbed
and/or degraded condition based upon the riparian mapping
category code, and the other 21,500 ha. (53,000 ac.) was
then and is still today being heavily impacted by human
activities.
Revegetation of damaged riparian zones can be implemented
to restore native plant species and enhance wildlife as
demonstrated by the Nature Conservancy Consumnes River
Preserve near Twin Cities Road. However, such restoration
is much more costly than simply preventing the damage from
occurring in the first place. Therefore, we support the
long-term preservation of presently undeveloped areas of
the Mokelumne River and bordering habitat for the benefit
of wildlife and local citizens now and in the future.
We urge you again to adopt such a resolution. If the San
Joaquin Audubon Society may be of any assistance to you
regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at
(209) 465-6188. Thank you.

specifications for Lower Sacramento Road Improvements, 900
feet south of Lodi Avenue to 400 feet north of Tejon
Street.
"NO PARKING" ON
KETTLEMAN LANE AT
SYLVAN WAY APPROVED
RES. NO. 90-42
This project consists of pavement widening and restriping
along Lower Sacramento Road to provide left turn pockets at
the major intersections and construction of traffic signals
and street improvements at the intersection of Lower
Sacramento Road and Elm Street.
The total project cost may exceed available street funds.
The specifications will identify some portions of the work
that may be deleted to reduce cost. A recommendation on
appropriations and alternatives will be made at the time of
the award.
Addressing the City Council regarding the project were
Walter and Janet Pruss, 2421 Diablo Drive, Lodi. Their
remarks included the suggestion that the approach to the
bridge in the subject area be level.
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Hinchman, Olson second, the City Council approved the plans
and specifications and authorized advertising for bids -

_Lane at Sylvan Way.
341
on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman,
following discussion approved the
parking" on the south side of Kettleman
The City Council was advised that the Public Works
Department has received a complaint that vehicles parked
along the south side of Kettleman Lane are creating a sight
problem for drivers exiting Sylvan Way. Although no parked
vehicles existed at the time the area was field surveyed,
this situation is similar to Kettleman Lane's intersection
with both Lakeshore Drive and Mills Avenue. Both of these
intersections have existing "no parking" zones along
Kettleman Lane. Available accident records indicate there
have been three accidents at the intersection of Kettleman
Lane and Sylvan Way during the two years of 1988-89. One
accident occurred in 1988 and two in 1989. The posted
speed limit on Kettleman Lane at Sylvan Way is currently 55
mph with an average daily volume over 13,000 vehicles.
The prima facie speed limit on Sylvan Way is 25 mph
with an approach volume of 950 vehicles per day. This is
not fully developed and the volume will be increasing in
the future. The adjacent parking is zoned office
commercial within the planned development designation.
Off-street parking will be required with the construction
of the office complexes.
Staff feels that due to the similar problems reported at
the intersections of Kettleman Lane at Mills Avenue and
Kettleman Lane at Lakeshore Drive, 100 feet of "no parking"
should be installed west of Sylvan Way and 55 feet east of
Sylvan Way.
The "no parking" request will need approval by Caltrans
after City Council approval.
REALLOCATION OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FROM
HALE PARK PROJECT TO
LODI LAKE RESTROOMS
PROJECT APPROVED
CC -55 The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman,
Olson second approved the reallocation of $50,000 in
Community Development Block Grant Funds from Account No.
45.4-760.60 (Hale Park Improvements) to Account No.
45.1-760.66 (Lodi Lake Restrooms) to fund the
reconstruction of these restrooms to provide handicap
accessibility.
The reallocation of funds was requested at this time
because the awarding of the contract to renovate the
restrooms was also on this agenda.

Continued March 21, 1990
The City Council was advised that in Fiscal Year 1986-1987
the Lodi City Council allocated $80,000 for the
reconstruction of the Lodi Lake Beach Restrooms to provide
handicap accessibility. During the same fiscal year the
unexpected high bids received from the Softball
Complex/Armory Park Restrooms and additional costs
associated with the Blakely Park Pool renovation created a
significant shortfall of funds for the projects.
Accordingly, the City of Lodi requested of San Joaquin
County and was permitted to reallocate funds as shown below:
Original Reallocation/ Balance
Project Title Allocation Transfer Remainin
(Aso 2 23/90)
Lodi Lake Beach Restrooms $81,472 $71,000 $9,851.57
($46,000 - Blakely
Park Pool)
($25,000 - Armory Park
Staff has determined that seventy (70%) percent of the
total costs associated with the project may be funded with
Block Grant funds and the balance (30%) will be covered by
the General Fund as shown below:
Block Grant Funds General Funds Total Costs
$60,000 $24,000 $84,000
San Joaquin County has concurred with the reallocation
because it will remove architectural barriers to
handicapped accessibility as stated in HUD Regulations
24CFR570.201(k).
The allocation deficit created by the transfer of funds
will be recovered in the 1990-91 Entitlement.
REQUEST TO DESIGNATE
CITY PARK SITE/S FOR
CANINE TRAINING AND SHOWS
CC -6 The City Council was advised by Ron Williamson, Parks and
CC -65 Recreation Director that the last two Parks and Recreation
CC -27(a) Commission meetings we have had dog enthusiasts from our
local dog trai-ning classes and those that currently train
dogs for shows, competition and training exercises address
the Commission as to their dogs' needs for such training
and events. As such, it was therefore requested to allow,
by permit or another City approved means, the use of
designated areas for these events. The Commission asked
staff at the February meeting to review these requests for
which staff came back with the recommendation that all dog
shows, competitions, and training exhibitions be allowed,
providing the group or organization seek the apppropriate
23
Continued March 21, 1990

/j
permit for said activities in parks that can be enclosed
and controlled for that single purpose or event. Staff
recommended the following facilities that could meet these
requirements - Zupo Field, the Grape Bowl (stadium), the
Complex and the Armory Park. All are enclosed by cyclone
fence and can be controlled by one access gate. It would
be expected, as with any other event, that an application
for use would be completed, a contract or agreement drawn
up (permit) that required insurance language/certificates
by furnished by the sponsoring party and that fees be
charged by the nature of the event and use of said facility.
Additionally, the dog group requested that a dog training
area be set aside for public use to train their animals and
be open to the general population to allow dogs to be
trained or run off leash. The suggestion is that fenced
areas would or could be erected to provide these areas at
open and/or out of the way areas at one or two parks so
that these individuals and the general public could be
provided with this service.
The Parks and Recreation Commission approved the above
concept - enclosed and controlled dog event use of
facilities - and after much discussion wants staff to
create these designated fenced areas for animals to be off
leash.
A couple of areas were discussed, Beckman Park north basin,
Salas Park northeast basin area, etc. The feeling is that
there is considerable open area in these parks to name two
and that they could be fenced off for public dog use.
Staff indicated that these areas could be fenced off, but a
concern with collection of debris when water is being left
in the basin, then is drained off can restrict the flow of
drainage water going in and out of the facility. After
review by Staff, it was recommended that the other
suggested high -ground facilities need to retain their open
areas for general public use and should not be fenced for
restricted use. Unless a separate new park is planned down
the road, the only answer is the basins. The Commission
indicated that Staff should select these areas.

the Municipal Code to allow for dog shows, competitions,
training exhibitions, by permit use in controlled and
enclosed facilities, and that an area or areas be set aside
for dog training/running of dogs off leash in designated
public park areas secured by a fence. Further the City
Attorney was directed to draft an appropriate amendment to
the Municipal Code for Council consideration at a future
meeting to be held in April.
COMPUTER SYSTEM UPGRADE
LEASE PURCHASE OF IBM
AS/400 APPROVED
CC -20 During the 1989-90 Budget study sessions, the Finance CC -47
Department requested approval to upgrade the City's IBM
System/36 Computer located in City Hall. Two months' cost
of a lease/purchase was requested for the purchase of an
IBM AS/400 Computer System with the model to be determined
at a later date. IBM has completed a "sizing" of the
City's needs by analyzing the highest volume of activity of
the present System/36 computer operations. They determined
an AS/400 Model P45 would handle our needs and submitted a
financing proposal which was presented for the City
Council's review. The City's M.I.S. Committee has
recommended the upgrade to the AS/400 Computer System.
With the above information and with the information
presented at the March 13, 1990 Shirtsleeve Session, it was
respectfully requested that the City Council approve the
computer system upgrade.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Reid,
Hinchman second, the City Council approved the lease
purchase of an IBM AS/400 Model P45 Computer System and
authorized the City Manager to execute the agreement.

RES. NO. 90-47
CC-7(X)Lr The City Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Olson
CC -300 second, adopted Resolution No. 90-47 approving and
authorizing the City Manger to execute: (i) an execution
copy of Project Agreement No. 3 that is prepared in the
manner provided for in TANC Resolution No. 90-18, a copy
of which will be attached and incorporated into this
resolution by this reference; and (ii) such amendments
and supplements to Project Agreement No. 3 as either such
officer determines with the advice of counsel to be
necessary or appropriate from time to time hereafter to
cure any ambiguity or eliminate superfluous provisions or
to correct or supplement any defective provision in Project
Agreement No. 3.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION REGARDING THE CALIFORNIA -OREGON TRANSMISSION PROJECT
AND AGREEMENT NO. 3 TO PROCEED WITH CONSTRUCTION:
The California -Oregon Transmission Project or Third AC
Intertie (Project) is a proposed 500-kv AC transmission
line from Southern Oregon to Central California.
Congress has named the California -Oregon Transmission
Project "The Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson California -Pacific
Northwest Intertie Transmission Line."
The Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC) and
the Western Area Power Administration (Western) were the
original creators of the Project, which was proposed in
1983.
During 1984, other California utilities
requested large shares of the Project.
The basic plan for the California -Oregon
Transmission Project, which includes nearly
all utilities in California, has been
approved by Congress. (P.L. 98-360 and P.L
99-88)
TANC is the Project Manager and is
responsible for the expeditious completion
of the Project.
26
346
Continued March 21, 1990
TANC issued a $26.8 million financing to
initiate design/analysis pursuant to an
initial Project Agreement in December 1985.
TANC refinanced that $26.8 million into an
expanded financing amounting to $60 million
in May 1989 to cover all environmental costs
and land acquisition.
TANC is moving forward to fund
construction and operation of the Project
pursuant to the Project Agreement No. 3,
attached hereto.
° This transmission project is expected to have a service
life far exceeding 50 years in duration.
° TANC financing pursuant to Project Agreement No. 3 covers
construction and refinancing the $60 million financed to
date (used for design, environmental and land acquisitions).
- The TANC financing will amount to $292
million with a 30 -year financing period.
Lodi's share in the TANC financing is
1.686% or approximately $377,000 per year.
° Participation percentages are not fixed until the
participating investor-owned utilities have obtained
certificate of convenience and necessity from the
California Public Utility Commission.
° Lodi has indicated a need to double our participation
should the opportunity present itself; however, the
possibility is remote.
Our 11.4 megawatt participation will cover
less than 4 years of load growth for the
City of Lodi.
Expeditious completion (by 1993) of COTP construction
will enable the Members of TANC to begin to utilize new
power markets and bulk power suppliers presently not
available to most of the TANC Members.
ADDITIONAL STAFFING
FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT
FOR PARTICIPATION IN
THE CRACNET GRANT
PROGRAM APPROVED
CC -34 The City Council was advised that the original county -wide
CC -175 narcotics task force was disbanded almost six years ago.
27
Continued March 21, 1990
347
Three years ago we formed another unit called CRACNET.
This unit is controlled by an advisory council made up of
the Police Chief and the Sheriff of San Joaquin County.
Each member of the advisory council has one vote,
regardless of the number of officers assigned from that
agency.
The main difference between the current unit and the former
unit is participation of the State Department of Justice,
who agreed to the task force. In addition the state pays
for office space, furniture and a base radio. The state
also provides $20,000 in buy money for each BNE
agent/supervisor in the unit, which in this case amounts to
$40,000.
The county -wide participation
established, was as follows:

2 Officers
2 Officers
1 Officer
1 Officer
1 Officer
1 Officer
1 Investigator
1 Officer
This furnished the required number of officers for the
state to contribute their two agents and the buy funds.
The unit has been very successful, focusing primarily with
dealers rather than users. In 1989 the unit arrested 124
persons, seized $1,312,963 worth of controlled substances,
and assets totalling $842,276. During the process the unit
seized 41 labs, further reducing the availability of drugs
in the region. CRACNET also received the Western States
Intelligence Network's Agency of the Year award "for
exemplifying the cooperation necessary for effective
narcotic enforcement."

CRACNET. This obviously spells trouble for the entire
CRACNET team. The loss of these two individuals would mean
the State's withdraw of one agent and $20,000 in buy
funds. With the loss of these three people, the unit's
effectiveness would suffer to the extent that Chief of
Police Williams feels would be worth continuing the unit.
With the number of people originally in the unit, they were
spread very thin; to lose these three people would make it
very difficult to function.
Due to the President's Anti -Drug Campaign, the State has
received a large sum of money to continue the battle
against drugs. San Joaquin County's share of that is
approx. $260,000. This is a non-competitive grant. If our
county does not apply and use the funds, they are not
available to another county. The council has decided to
apply for the funds, through the District Attorneys'
office. The funds would be used to hire three more
officers to work in the CRACNET unit. The rest of the
funds would be used to pay overtime costs. Obviously
CRACNET cannot hire the officers and this must be done by
the member departments. Chief Williams requests Lodi hire
one of these officers. San Joaquin County will probably
hire the other two.
The above grant would pay for salary and benefits for the
officer. CRACNET would furnish a vehicle through asset
seizures. The dollar cost to the City should be zero. As
state earlier, the cost would be in terms of sending an'
experienced officer to work in CRACNET, while hiring and
training a new recruit. In Chief Williams's opinion, it is
worth doing so to keep the unit intact.
At this point in time, there is no guarantee the funds will
be available in future years. It is the general consensus
that there will be funding for at least a second year and
possibly even further. If the funding dries up and the
Council desires, the position could be deleted through
attrition.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Reid,
Hinchman second, the City Council approved additional
staffing for the Police Department for participation in the
CRACNET Grant Program.
