This well site is located east of Highway 99 and the Casa de Lodi Mobile Home Park. The project consists of drilling a production water well. The test well results have shown that sufficient clean water bearing strata are present to recommend the completion of this well to a depth of 465 feet. No DBCP was found in any of the strata. The drought and higher material costs indicate that the well may cost 10% to 150. more than the last well, drilled in May of 1989.

Improvements at 351 North Beckman Road have been completed in substantial conformance with the requirements of the Development Agreement between the City of Lodi and Thorpe Oil Company, dated August 2, 1989, as shown on Drawing No. 70DO4 and as specifically set forth in the plans and specifications approved by the City Council. DISPOSAL OF PCB CONTAMINATED WASTE APPROVED CC -12(a) The City Council awarded the bid for the disposal of CC -24(b) material contaminated with PCB's to the low bidder American Environmental Management Corp. of Sacramento, California in the amount of $11,176. The Council was reminded that on August 15, 1990, it approved specifications and authorized advertisement for bids. Bids were opened on September 4, 1990 and results of the bid opening were as follows: Supplier Total Price American Environmental Management $11,176.00 APTUS Environmental Services 17,016.00 The Electric Utility Department, in its multi-year program to eliminate PCB contaminated oil -filled equipment, has collected twenty-five (25) transformers, twelve (12) 55 -gal. drums of liquid and one (1) 55 -gal. drum of solid material contaminated with PCB's. This material must be disposed of in accordance with Federal and State guidelines by registered hazardous waste disposal firms. Funding for this disposal service is available in the Department's 1990-91 fiscal year budget. REJECTION OF BIDS FOR TWO 1200 KVAR SWITCHED CAPACITOR BANKS FOR THE ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT CC -12(b) The City Council rejected all KVAR Switched Capacitor re -advertisement for bids. 3 bids received for two 1200 Banks, and authorized Continued September 19, 1990 The City Council was reminded that on August 15, 1990, it approved specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for two 1200 KVAR Switched Capacitor Banks. Three bids were received, and opened on September 5, 1990. Two of the bids contained discrepancies in the unit prices, and the third bid contained an exception to the specifications which was deemed unacceptable by the Electrical Engineering Department. It was therefore recommended that all three bids be rejected, and that new bids be requested and re -advertised with an opening date of Wednesday, October 3, 1990. The estimated cost of this purchase, $8,000, has been budgeted and is available in the Electric Utility Department's operating fund. AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE A FUEL SUPPLIES AGREEMENT APPROVED CC -6 The City Council authorized the Purchasing Officer to CC -47 negotiate a six-month fuel supplies agreement with a local major brand distributor, covering the period October 1, 1990 through March 31, 1991. In view of the current Middle East crisis and the uncertainty over availability of fuel this winter, it would be prudent for the City to be involved in a fuel supplies agreement with a major refiner over the near term. While fuel supplies contracts do not guarantee delivery of 100% of fuel requirements in times of shortages, users with contracts generally are given preference over those without. Additionally, the current supplies situation seems to favor major refiners over independents, hence the decision to align with major supplier such as Chevron or Arco. Estimated fuel usage during the six-month period would be: 43,000 gallons regular unleaded 6,500 gallons regular leaded 17,000 gallons diesel Projected costs will be difficult to determine as the price of oil varies, but at today's prices the total cost to the City during the period would be about $75,000. Results of the negotiations will be presented to the City Council at the meeting of October 17, 1990. 4 Continued September 19, 1990 "URBAN COUNTY" ALLOCATION AGREEMENT APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 90-145 CC -55 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-145 authorizing CC -300 the Mayor to sign the "Urban County" Allocation Agreement which establishes the basis for the distribution of Community Development Block Grant funds. The agreement is the same as has been approved in the past between the County and the participating cities. ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY AND INTERNAL CONTROL GUIDELINES ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 90-146 CC -21(a) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-146 approving an CC -300 annual investment policy and internal control guidelines. The California State Legislature enacted AB1073 in 1984 requiring local agencies to adopt an annual investment policy. This policy is presented to the City Council after the books are closed to enable staff to obtain certain benchmark rates of return for the fiscal year 1989-90. Page 3 of the Investment Policy indicates these comparable benchmark rates, which was presented to Council for its review.

At that time the representatives of the developer and the District acknowledged that there had been insufficient time to negotiate an acceptable agreement. Rather than request a denial or continuance of the project, it was agreed that if an arrangement was not concluded prior to the use permit hearing before the Commission, that provision of school facilities would be made a condition of the use permit.

The list of proposed, future, and work - in -progress projects has been shortened to include only new projects proposed for this fiscal year. The Public Facilities Capital Improvement Program is still being prepared and will be presented at a future meeting. Discussion among the Council followed the staff report, with questions being directed to the Public Works Director. Council wished to drop the street light project on Turner and Stockton streets in the proposed CIP. Therefore, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, the Council introduced Ordinance No. 1498 entitled, "An Ordinance of the Lodi City Council Adopting a Capital Improvement Program Budget for Storm Drainage, Streets, Wastewater and Water for the City of Lodi for Fiscal Year 1990-91" with the exception of the street light project at Turner and Stockton streets by a unanimous vote. REPORT HEARD REGARDING REQUEST RECEIVED FROM RETIRED EMPLOYEE BILLY D. SHIVELY REGARDING HIS HEALTH CARE OPTIONS) WITH THE CITY OF LODI CC -34 The City Council heard a report from the Assistant City Manager regarding retired employee, Billy D. Shively, and 12 Continued September 19, 1990 his request regarding his health care option(s). It was requested by staff that the Council not change the sick leave conversion and medical insurance continuation program. Some years ago in an effort to reduce the amount of sick leave used, the City Council adopted a program aimed at long-term City employees to reward them for minimizing the use of sick leave. Under this program retirees vest in the program after 10 years service. Using a formula taking into account the amount of sick leave on the books at retirement and the length of service of the employee the City pays for medical insurance for the retiree and spouse for a period of time. After the credits are used up the employee then can buy at his/her expense coverage at the group rates for the same period of time. Our present insurance carrier, Foundation Health, has a provision that after an employee has used up all credits on the City plan they can continue coverage at their expense at an actuarial set premium and then at age 65 can obtain a Medicare supplement plan. Our premiums for all employees are based on numbers of employees and dependents insured, their ages and sex. We presently have between 15 and 20 retirees who have used up all sick leave credits and either have no insurance, or have no other coverage. The Assistant City Manager has talked with representatives of Foundation Health regarding adding these people to our plan. They will do whatever the City Council desires as long as everyone is treated equally now and in the future. They cannot make an actual determination of the effects on rates until a new census is developed after all potential enrollees are contacted and offered insurance. Our present benefit is a negotiated one. To begin to provide new benefits away from the bargaining table is a bad precedent. In the case of Mr. Shively, he is not without insurance. He may purchase insurance but not at group rates. It was recommended that no changes be made to the present sick leave conversion program. Following discussion Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Olson second, the City Council concurred with the recommendation by unanimous vote. 13 1UV Continued September 19, 1990 REQUEST FROM THE WOMEN'S CENTER REGARDING SUBSIDY FOR EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION BY CITY CAB COMPANY FROM ITS LODI OFFICE TO ITS STOCKTON OFFICE CC -50(b) The Council recently was requested to provide funds to purchase taxi rides from the Lodi Women's Center to the Stockton Women's Center. Staff reminded that the City Council not provide for funds for rides from the Lodi Women's Center to the Stockton Women's Center. Staff suggested that certainly this is a noble purpose, however, it would open the door for many organizations to look to the City to fund their projects. Therefore staff could not recommend this funding. However, three City department heads belong to the Lodi Kiwanis Club. They have stated they will support this y request as a project for the club next year. In the interim they have personally guaranteed these costs will be paid until the budget for the club is passed. No action was required by the Council on this matter CONTRACT AWARD FOR CHURCH STREET OVERLAY, TOKAY STREET TO CHESTNUT STREET APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 90-147 CC -12(a) The bids received for the Church Street Overlay, Tokay CC -300 Street to Chestnut Street project were presented for City Council.

This project has been included in the 1990-91 Street Capital Improvement Program being reviewed by the City Council tonight. Although the total project exceeds the budgeted amount, some of the expenses will be charged to water and wastewater relocation accounts and the handicapped ramp installation account. Claude C. Wood Company has given the City competitive prices on other City projects this past season. The Public Works Department doesn't feel there is any problem with Claude C. Wood Company being the only bidder on this project. 14 Continued September 19, 1990 101 his request regarding his health care option(s).

CANCELLED LEASE OF THE PORTION OF WALNUT STREET BETWEEN SOUTH SACRAMENTO STREET AND THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RIGHT-OF-WAY CC -27(b) The City Council received information concerning the Planning Commission's recommendation that the lease on the portion of Walnut Street between South Sacramento Street and the Southern Pacific right-of-way be cancelled and the area designated for all day public parking. The Planning Commission felt that by cancelling the lease, two positive things would occur. First, since the area was being used for the storage of junk and what appeared to be abandoned automobiles, an eyesore would be eliminated. Secondly, additional all day parking would be provided in the downtown area. Oak Street between South Sacramento Street and the Southern Pacific Railroad has been designated for all day parking for sometime and appears to be at capacity most days. The Planning Commission is hoping that the same condition will happen on Walnut Street. Questions were directed to the staff and the City Attorney regarding this matter. On motion of Council Member Olson, Hinchman second, the Council voted unanimously to cancel the lease of the portion of Walnut Street between South Sacramento Street and the Southern Pacific right-of-way. 15 103 Continued September 19, 1990 ''� AGENDA ITEM PULLED ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL SUBSTATION AND THE REMAINING DIEKMAN PARCEL, 5200 EAST SARGENT ROAD (APN 049-070-02) On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Olson second, the City Council pulled agenda item K-7 entitled, "Originate annexation proceedings for the Industrial Substation and the remaining Diekman parcel, 5200 East Sargent Road (APN 049-070-02)".
