Conservation Patrol vehicle is in need of immediate
replacement. This 1982 GMC pickup was purchased in June
1983 for $6,360 as a used vehicle with 8,600 miles recorded
on the odometer and currently has 51,000 miles. During the
past seven years of patrol the vehicle has had an
accumulated repair cost of $3,470. Two major expenses have
been overhauling the clutch assembly. The Equipment
Maintenance Supervisor advises me the vehicle is in need of
clutch repair again. He also advises this vehicle with
standard transmission has not and will not stand up to the
slow moving, stop and go travel required of our Water
Conservation Officers. Therefore it was recommended the
purchase of a replacement vehicle prior to the 1990 patrol
season (May 15, 1990). The Equipment Maintenance
Supervisor has located a low mileage (600 miles) 1990 demo
pickup with automatic, transmission for about $9,750.

the plans and specifications approved by the City Council.
The contract completion date was January 17, 1990, and the
actual completion date was February 18, 1990. The delay in

AMENDED SALARY RANGES
FOR CLASSIFICATIONS IN
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RES. NO. 90-52
CC -34 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-52 adopting the
CC -300 salary schedule adopted under the Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of Lodi and the Police
Officer's Association of Lodi for represented Police
employees and Mid -Management Police personnel.
The City Council was advised that a multi-year agreement
with the Police Unit calls for adjustments to their salary
schedule effective the pay period beginning on April 2,
1990. This revised schedule was set forth in a scheduled
presented for Council's reviews. This increase results in
corresponding increases for sworn Police Mid -Management
classifications, which were also presented.
CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION
ORDINANCE NO. 1478 INTRODUCED
CC -6 California Government Code Section 36516 establishes
CC -149 salaries for council members of general law cities, based
on population. Under this section, the Council in 1985 set
the salary at $400 per month, which was the allowable rate
for cities having populations of between 35,000 and
50,000. There have beefi no increases since that time.
61
Continued April 4, 1990
355
Under subsection (a)(3) of this statute, council members'
salaries in cities with populations exceeding 50,000 but
less than 75,00 may be set at up to $500 per month.
It is noted that Lodi 's population was expected to exceed
50,000 in October 1989, and our city limit signs were
changed to reflect that figure.
In order to increase the council salary to that which the
statute authorizes, the population determination must be
based on an estimate validated by the California State
Department of Finance, which issues such figures yearly on
May 1. It is assumed that figure will confirm the
population as being in excess of 50,000.
Should the Council choose to adopt this ordinance, under
the terms of Government Code Section 36516.5 and Municipal
Code Section 2.08.030, the increase cannot become effective
until following the November 1990 Council election.
The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1478 - An
Y Ordinance of the Lodi City Council Amending Lodi Municipal
Code Section 2.08.020 Relating to City Council Salaries as
Authorized by Government Code Section 36516 (a) (3).
FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY
AGREEMENT
CC -90 The City Council authorized the City Manager and City Clerk
to execute an agreement with Family Services Agency for the
employee assistance program.
The City Council was advised that the City has contracted
with the Family Services Agency for a number of years to
provide counseling to employees and their dependents on an
as needed basis.
This program is used and has proven successful in many
cases. We do not know who individually uses the service
nor do we want to know. On occasions, a Department Head
will refer an employee to the program.
The cost for this program this year will be $11,670 for the
year, an increase of 6% from last year. This program is
funded from the Workers' Compensation Fund.
With the consent of the City Council agenda item K-3,
"Emerson Park Phase III Project - financing and agreement
for consulting services" was discussed and acted upon at
this point on the agenda..
356 Continued April 4, 1990
Parks and Recreation Director Williamson reminded the City
Council -it had approved and financed the Phase I and II
Projects at Emerson Park which was covered by a working
agreement with the Lodi Lions Club over this past year.
The Lions Club has performed as it indicated it would in
the agreement of paying back an original loan of $20,000
($12,500 paid to date) and has invested $40,000 plus in
volunteer manhours toward the Emerson Project.
Additionally, the Club has given the project $2,200 toward
an upgraded "Park Sign" and purchase of more swing
equipment for the facility.
The Parks and Recreation Department and Commission, plus
Lions Club, request your approval of this third and final
stage of the Emerson Project which includes consultant fees
(for appropriate construction drawings) and $43,851 in
project dollars to complete this project.
Also addressing the Council regarding the matter were
representatives of the Lodi Lions Club.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Reid,
Hinchman second, the City Council took the following
actions regarding the Emerson Park Phase III project:
a) Approved a consultant fee of $3,800 for the
professional services of Jeff Gamboni of
Derivi/ Castellanos/Architects.

Continued April 4, 1990

Before LAFCO will begin annexation proceedings, the City
Council must provide General Plan consistency, prezoning
and environmental documentation. If the Council agrees
with the Planning Commission's recommendation, annexation
procedures may begin once the General Plan and Prezoning
Ordinance is law.
Speaking on behalf of the Planning Commission's

California.
There being no other persons wishing to speak on the
matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Pinkerton second, the
City Council certified the filing of a Negative Declaration

KRISTEN I. CROMWELL AND
DEL G. SMITH REQUEST TO
AMEND LAND USE ELEMENT OF
LODI GENERAL PLAN, PREZONING
ETC FOR 2.66 ACRES LOCATED
AT J693 EAST TURNER ROAD
ORD. NO. 1479 AND 1480 INTRODUCED
CC -53(a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
CC -149 affidavit of which is on file in the office of the City
Clerk, Mayor Snider called for the Public Hearing to
consider the Planning Commission's recommendation to the
City Council that a moratorium be placed on the approval of
additional "granny units" in the eastside rezoning area
until the City can determine that the additional units will
not adversely impact public facilities.
The City Council was advised that at its meeting of Monday,
March 12, 1990 the Planning Commission recommended to the
City Council that a morratorium be placed on the approval of
k0l
360 Continued April 4, 1990
additional "granny units" in the eastside rezoning area
until the City can determine that the additional units will
not adversely impact public facilities.
State law requires that cities and counties in California
permit second residential units (i.e. "granny units") in
areas zoned for single-family purposes. Since the second
unit was added to the R-1 and R-2 Districts in 1984 only 3
or 4 of such units have been constructed.
At its meeting of February 26, 1990 the Planning Commission
received an application for a "granny unit" at 205 Flora
Street in the Eastside rezoning area. Although the
Planning Commission had no basis to deny the request,
Commission members expressed concern that a "granny unit"
on a substantial number of Eastside single-family lots
could impact existing in -ground sanitary sewers and fire
suppression systems.
The Public Works Director indicated that one unit was not a
problem but a substantial number of such units could lead
to trouble. Since neither the staff nor the Planning
Commission knew how many additional "granny units" could
be safely constructed, the Commission recommended a
moratorium until the necessary studies could be conducted.
There being no persons wishing to address the City Council
regarding the matter, the public portion of the hearing was
closed.
URGENCY ORDINANCE
NO. 1481 INTRODUCED AND
ADOPTED IMPOSING A

Council.

ORDINANCE NO. 1482 INTRODUCED
CC -24(b) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an

the City Clerk, Mayor Snider called for the public hearing
to consider the adoption of the 1988 edition of the Uniform
Fire Code as amended.

Continued April 4, 1990
361.:
The matter was introduced by Fire Chief Larry Hughes who
advised the City Council that the Uniform Fire Code (UFC)
is published every three years and it is the recognized
Fire Code in the Western United States. It is a sound
practice to adopt the most current edition of the Fire Code
as is done with the Building Codes. The Uniform Fire Code
and the Uniform Building Code are now compatible and work
very well together; therefore, we need to adopt the 1988
edition to stay compatible with the 1988 Uniform Building
Code, which was recently adopted by Council.
We are currently working under the 1985 edition of the UFC
which was adopted with amendments. We propose that the
same amendments be adopted with the 1988 edition, with
approximately 6 minor revisions and 3 additional amendments.
These amendments were reviewed at the Shirtsleeve Session
on March 20, 1988 and the one correction requested at that
time has been incorporated into the final document. As you
will recall, the 3 new amendments included the following
general subjects:
1. A 6,000 square foot automatic fire sprinkler
requirement.
2. Installation of permanent surface of asphalt
or concrete on all fire lanes, streets and
cul-de-sacs prior to commencement of
construction.
3. Allowing the use of above -ground tanks, not
to exceed 12,000 gallon capacity, for the
dispensing of Class II (diesel) fuels into
vehicles.
There being no persons in the audience wishing to speak on
the matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member
Pinkerton, Olson second, the City Council introduced
Ordinance No. 14827adopting the 1988 Edition of the Uniform
Fire Code as amended. The motion carried by unanimous vote
of the City Council.

Road to provide left turn pockets at the major
intersections and construction of traffic signals and
street improvement at the intersection of Lower Sacramento
Road and Elm Street, including extension of the frontage
road to Elm Street.
Traffic backed up from the stop sign on Lower Sacramento
Road at Park West Drive extends into the Elm Street
intersection. This will interfere with the operation of
the new signal at Elm Street. With the signal and the
frontage road extension, the stop sign on Lower Sacramento
Road is an unnecessary traffic control device.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on
March 21, 1990.
The City received one bid for this project. A bid
tabulation was presented for Council's review.
Staff has reviewed the bid with Claude C. Wood Company and
sees no reasonable way to substantially reduce the cost of
the project. Other potential bidders were also contacted.
Apparently the volume of work presently underway or being
bid precluded receiving additional bids.
The total cost of the project and recommended funding is
shown below.
