On December 17, 1986, the City Council approved the
implementation of a load research program to assist the
Electric Utility in resource planning and customer
service. The program has been limited to residential and
largest commercial/industrial customers. It was
recommended that the program be expanded in order to extend
its benefit to some additional customer groups to enhance
the planning process. A sole source purchase is necessary
to ensure compatibility with existing equipment and
software. Associated cost estimates are listed below:

STREET OVERLAY, SOUTHERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD TO CHEROKEE
LANE
CC -12.1(c) The City Council approved the plans and specifications for
Pine Street Overlay, Southern Pacific Railroad to Cherokee
Lane and authorized advertising for bids.
This project consists of edge grinding and a pavement
overlay on Pine Street between the Southern Pacific
Railroad tracks and Cherokee Lane. Also included in the
project is the replacement of miscellaneous sections of
curb and gutter, specifically the section between Garfield
Street and Cherokee Lane where there are a number of large
City trees adjacent to the curb.
SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
FOR WELLSWOOD COURT,
SOUTH OF MISSION STREET,
WEST OF GARFIELD STREET,
AND NORTH OF CONCORD
STREET APPROVED
CC -46 The City Council approved the Subdivision Agreement for
Wellswood Court and directed the City Manager and City
Clerk to execute it on behalf of the City. Schaffer,
Suess and Boyd, a General Partnership, the developers
of this subdivision, have furnished the City with the
improvement plans, the necessary agreements, guarantees,
insurance certificates, and fees for the proposed
subdivision.
371
Continued April 18, 1990
The subdivision is located south of Mission Street, west of
Garfield Street and north of Concord Street, and contains a
total of 10 residential lots.
SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
ADDENDUM FOR GRIFFIN
INDUSTRIAL PARK, 1350
AND 1370 EAST PINE
STREET APPROVED
CC -46 The City Council approved the Subdivision Agreement
Addendum for Griffin Industrial Park and directed the
City Manager and City Clerk to execute the addendum on
behalf of the City.
Construction of the east half of Guild Avenue is the
responsibility of the City but it would have been very
difficult to coordinate the street light installation with
two different contractors. Therefore, GMM Partnership,
the developers of this subdivision, agreed under the
original agreement to have their contractor install street
lights on the east side of Guild Avenue between Pine Street
and Lodi Avenue.
In the original billing schedule for Griffin Industrial
Park, the developers were given a credit of $1,200 each for
four street lights which were the City's responsibility.
This $4,800 credit was based on then current prices for a
similar type installation.
GMM Partnership has now obtained three bids for
installing the street lights in Griffin Industrial Park
and also for installing the City's four street lights. The
lowest bid for this work was $1,989.09 per street light.
This Subdivision Agreement Addendum will reimburse GMM
Partnership an additional $3,156.00 to install the City's
street lights (4 x $1,989.00 - $15200.00).
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION
AMENDMENT STOP SIGN ON
CHIANTI DRIVE AT
FAIRMONT AVENUE
RES. NO. 90-57
CC -48(h) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-57 amending the
CC -300 Traffic Resolution 87-163 to approve the installation of a
stop sign on Chianti Drive at Fairmont Avenue.
Currently, there are no controls at Chianti Drive and
Fairmont Avenue. Staff felt this intersection should be
reviewed for traffic controls due to the increased traffic
activity on Fairmont Avenue. Staff reviewed traffic counts
372
Continued April 18, 1990
and accident records and performed a safe approach study.
Fairmont Avenue and Chianti Drive have 2,700 and 300
vehicles per day, respectively. Accident records indicate
there have been two accidents correctable with a stop sign
during the three years from 1987 to 1989.
Based on the City's Intersection Control Guidelines and a
safe approach study, a yield sign is justified at Chianti
Drive at Fairmont Avenue. However, staff recommended
installing a stop sign.
The majority of Lodi's streets with traffic volumes greater
than 2,000 vehicles per day are designated as through
streets. The minor streets intersecting with through
streets are controlled by stop signs. Currently, the
segment of Fairmont Avenue from Kettleman Lane to Lodi
Avenue is designated as a "through" street.
Staff also feels the vehicles on Fairmont Avenue and in the
residential driveway north of Chianti Drive could create
a sight problem for drivers exiting Chianti Drive. Since
= this area is residential with adjacent commercial uses and
a high parking demand, staff feels stop signs are
appropriate.
ITEM REMOVED FROM
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda item E-11 - Modification of Traffic Ordinance
related to jaywalking was removed from the Consent Calendar
and discussed under the Regular Calendar.
DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS -
POLICE DEPARTMENT
RES. NO. 90-58

AMENDED CLASS
SPECIFICATIONS - SENIOR
STOREKEEPER/BUYER
RES. NO. 90-59
CC -34 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-59 approving
CC -300 amended class specifications for Senior Storekeeper/Buyer.
The classification of Senior Storekeeper/Buyer was
established a number of years ago to perform storekeeping
tasks and some buying tasks.
With the addition of the Buyer Classification, minor
changes were needed to be made to the class specifications.
The changes reflect the differences between the Senior
Storekeeper/Buyer and Buyer classifications.
The Finance Director concurs with the changes made to the
classification; its salary range has not been changed.
AMENDED CLASS
SPECIFICATIONS BUYER
APPROVED
RES. NO. 90-60
CC -34 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-60 amending the
CC -300 Class Specification for Buyer.
The classification of Buyer was established last year to
assist the purchase Division with the increased buying
activities.
This amended class specification has minor changes to
reflect differences between the Buyer and The Senior
Storekeeper/Buyer classifications.
The Finance Director concurs with the changes made to this
classification; its salary range has not been changed.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY
UNMET TRANSIT NEEDS
REPORT RECEIVED
CC -7(n) The City Council received the Unmet Transit Need Analysis
CC -50(b) and Determination for Fiscal Year 1990-91 published by
the San Joaquin County Council of Governments (COG).
The City Council was advised that pursuant to law, the San
Joaquin County Council of Governments (COG) must identify
unmet transit needs in the County. COG must ensure that
reasonable needs are met before "TDA" funds are allocated
for non -transit purposes.
COG staff recommends no findings of unmet transit needs
solely within the jurisdiction of the City of Lodi.
COG staff did find an unmet transit need within the
jurisdictions of the County and cities of San Joaquin for
inter -city service. However, this need is not deemed
reasonable to meet at this time.
COG further found an unmet transit need at the Freeway
Mobile Home Park and recommends the County contract with
the City to meet this need.
TRANSFER OF FUNDS
IN ELECTRIC UTILITY
DEPARTMENT AUTHORIZED
CC -6 The City Council authorized the transfer of $900,000 from
CC -21(a) the Rate Stabilization Fund to the Electric Utility Outlay
CC -51(d) Reserve Fund to provide for disbursements in connection
with construction of the Industrial Substation.
The ongoing activities in connection with material
procurements for Industrial Substation necessitates that
additional funding be transferred to the appropriate
accounts for such expenditures at this time.

REMOVAL OF WEEDS TO BE HEARD
AND GIVEN DUE CONSIDERATION
RES. NO. 90-61
CC -24(b) City Clerk Reimche reminded the City Council that at its
CC -300 meeting of March 7, 1990 it had adopted Resolution No.
90-33 - Resolution Declaring Weeds A Public Nuisance and
Initiating Abatement Proceedings - Various Parcels, Lodi,
California. Pursuant to State of California Government

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER
THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S
RECOMMENDATION THAT TITLE
17 OF THE LODI MUNICIPAL
CODE BE AMENDED AS IT PERTAINS
TO HOME OCCUPATION PERMITS
ORDINANCE NO. 1484 INTRODUCED
on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
the City Council adopted Resolution
Overruling Objections and Proceeding
CC -53(a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
CC -149 affidavit of publications being on file in the office of
the City Clerk, Mayor Snider called for the public hearing
to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation that
Title 17 of the Lodi Municipal Code be amended:
a) to modify the definition of Home Occupation;
and
b) to add a new Chapter 17.08, Home Occupation
Permits
City Attorney McNatt apprised the Council that as directed
by the City Council, a draft ordinance regulating home
occupation permits was referred to the Planning Commission
for consideration at its meeting of March 26, 1990.
Although the specific situation which triggered the
evaluation of the home occupation permit regulations
involved a request for a nail salon in a residential
district, the entire home occupation permit ordinance was
examined by the Planning Commission and recommendations
addressed the topic generally. These recommendations are
categorized below:
USES:
The overall recommendation of the Planning Commission was
to endorse the draft ordinance. However, by a four -to -one
vote, the Planning Commission recommended that a subsection
10
377
Continued April 18, 1990
(I) be added to 17.08.010 which would include in the list
of uses not eligible for a home occupation permit:
I. Any business or activity in which it is
usual or customary for the clients or
customers to come to the location for which
the permit is sought.
The purpose of this clause is to prohibit the types of
business in which clients come to the location on either a
walk-in or scheduled basis. The Planning Commission
acknowledged this would not allow a nail salon in a
residential district, but felt the intent of the home
occupation permit regulations should be to allow only uses
in which the home is used in the nature of an office, for
sales or services provided elsewhere.
For purposes of clarity, it was also recommended that
Section 17.08.030 (I) be modified to read:
I. Be the only home occupation conducted at the
specified address. For purposes of this
section, a use shall be deemed "the only
home occupation conducted" at a location if
it involves services or goods of essentially
one type, even though the owner may have
more than one business name, or be required
to obtain more than one professional
certification or business license.
This was intended to address a situation such as a
consultant who provides services on more than one topic,
but who still desires to operate as a one-person business
out of a residence.
PARKING:
The Planning Commission also suggested that Section
17.08.030(G), which stated that home occupations shall
"Not involve the parking of more than one vehicle,
which shall be of a noncommercial nature" be deleted
entirely, based on difficulties in determining the
definition of a "commercial vehicle" and the fact that if
no customers come to the location, no parking problems
should result.
The final draft ordinance also provides in Section
17.08.030(F) that signs be "flush" -mounted parallel to the
front of the building. The word "flush" was inadvertently
omitted in the original draft.
The position of the Community Development Director is that
these proposed changes will have no effect on existing home
occupation permits, since he is unaware of any permits

presently held which would not also fit within the proposed
guidelines.
The draft ordinance presented for Council's review had been
modified to reflect the suggestions and recommendations of
the Planning Commission.
The following persons addressed the City Council regarding
the matter:
a) Penny Gamaza, 1010 Augusta Street,
Woodbridge
b) Lou Fugazi, 925 Greenwood Drive, Lodi
C) Sharon Dados, 701 Junewood, Lodi
There being no other persons in the audience wishing to
speak on the matter, the public portion of the hearing was
closed.

- Mayor Snider informed the Council and public that Council
Member Olson had asked that he relate that she is very
sympathetic to Mrs. Gamaza and her desire to work in her
home.
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Hinchman, Reid second, the City Council introduced
Ordinance No. 1484 - An Ordinance of the Lodi City Council
Repealing Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.03.290 Defining
"Home Occupation" and reenacting same, and adding to Title
17 - Zoning, a new Chapter 17.08 Relating to Home
Occupation Permits.
PLANNING COMMISSION City Manager Peterson presented the following Planning
REPORT Commission Report of the Planning Commission Meeting of
April 9, 1990.
CC -35 The Planning Commission -

RECESS Mayor Snider declared a five-minute recess, and the City
Council meeting reconvened at approximately 8:30 p.m.
REGULAR CALENDAR
ACTION DEFERRED ON
PROPOSED MODIFICATION
OF TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
RELATED TO JAYWALKING
The City Council was advised that the Police Department has
received numerous complaints regarding students jaywalking
on Elm Street at Pacific Avenue. As discussed at a recent
Shirtsleeve meeting, there is no State Vehicle Code or City
Code section that allows easy enforcement of right-of-way
conflicts that occur with jaywalking.
Based on discussion at the Shirtsleeve meeting, staff has
prepared the following additional section to the City Code:
"10.36.010 Pedestrians' Rights and Duties
C. It shall be prohibited for pedestrians to
cross a roadway at any point between
adjacent intersections having marked
crosswalks, or to cross at any point within
200 feet of a marked crosswalk. Pedestrians
may cross at any intersection controlled by
a stop or yeild sign, whether or not such
crosswalks are marked on the pavement.
The recommended section is worded to cover slightly
different situations. The first portion covers the
Lakewood Shopping Center and similar areas where adjacent
intersections have marked crosswalks. See attached Exhibit
B. The Vehicle Code already prohibits jaywalking between
traffic signal controlled intersections (Section 21955).
The remainder covers additional locations where an adjacent
intersection does not have a marked crosswalk. The last
phrase, "...unless the roadway being crossed is controlled
by a stop...", is intended to allow crossing at controlled
intersections where only some of the legs are marked. An
example of this is at Elm and Mills where three legs are
marked. This was done in cooperation with the
14
Continued April 18, 1990
school crossing patrol to make it easier for them to handle
school children crossing Elm Street at one place rather
than two. However, since the other leg is controlled by a
stop sign, it is unreasonable to expect pedestrians at
other times to follow the same route as school children.
Discussion followed with questions being directed to staff.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, the
matter was continued to a future Shirtsleeve Session.

ORDINANCE INTRODUCED
AMENDING THE LODI
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS
6.04.030, 6.08.160,
AND 12.12.020 RELATING
TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN PARKS
ORDINANCE NO. 1485 INTRODUCED
CC -65 City Attorney McNatt presented a draft of proposed
CC -27(c) amendments to Municipal Code Section 6.04.030 (Animals at
CC -149 Large), Section 6.08.160 (Dogs at Large), and Section
12.12.020 (Domestic Animals in Parks). These amendments
were drafted pursuant to the direction of the City Council
at the March 21, 1990 meeting.
Specifically, it was necessary to modify Section 6.04.030
to accommodate the new ordinance allowing dogs to be
present in public parks without a leash. It was also
necessary to modify Section 6.08.160 which also addresses
the same general subject matter.
At the heart of this amendment is the new Section
12.12.020. The existing section addresses only parks, and
generally prohibits all "domestic animals" including dogs
from being present in parks unless signs specifically
permitting animals in the park are posted. This proposed
statute makes an exception for certain parks, as specified
by the Parks and Recreation Director, in which dogs may be
present, with or without leashes, as part of training or
exercise programs. It should be noted that this amendment
still will not allow dogs in parks at which signs are not
posted, either with or without leashes.
This leaves intact the prohibition against animals running
at large anywhere else in the City.

CONTRACT FOR CLASSIFICATION
STUDY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
CLERK SERIES APPROVED
CC -34 The City Council was advised that several requests have
been received by departments requesting that Administrative
Clerk positions be studied to determine their proper
allocation. Because of the amount of positions in
question, it was determined that it would be more efficient
to have a consultant complete this study.
These positions -have not been studied since 1983. The City
has grown considerably since then. This growth has
- resulted in the expansion of departments and changes in
organizational structure.
In order to continue to maintain an accurate classification
plan, it was recommended that these positions be studied.
The cost of this study is $3,942.00.
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Hinchman, Reid second, the City Council approved the
classification study of Administrative Clerk II/III by
Human Resource Compensation and Management and allocated
the funding from the Contingency Fund. The motion carried
by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Reid and Snider
Noes: Council Members - Pinkerton
Absent: Council Members - Olson
