It was requested that the City enter into this agreement for a three to five year period or until a suitable storage area can be built and provided for on the Parks and Recreation grounds. WHITE SLOUGH WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY LEASE, 11775 AND 11995 NORTH THORNTON ROAD APPROVED CC -27(b) The City Council authorized the City Clerk to invite proposals for a two-year tease on 220 acres of agricultural land at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility.

However, the tenant presently subleasing the property from the City's lessee, Bert Van Ruiten Estate, would like to plant alfalfa and has requested that the bid for the lease be awarded a year before the expiration of the lease. Alfalfa is a multi-year crop and if he gets the award, he will be able to plant the crop at this time. If the present tenant is not the successful bidder, he has indicated that he would be willing to work with the successful bidder and that the expiration of his lease will not be a hindrance to the new tenant. The term of the new lease would be November 15, 1991 through December 31, 1993 with an option to renew for an additional five years. With this lease ending on December 31, 1993, all leases for property at White Slough will end on December 31, 1993. All leases have five-year renewal options and will now be on the same cycle. PUBLIC HEARING SET FOR REVISION OF SEWER ORDINANCE CC -44 The City Council set a public hearing for November 7, 1990 CC -149 to review the proposed changes in the City's sewer ordinance. In July 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performed an audit of the City's required industrial pre-treatment program. The letter presented for the City Council's review and the checklist dated January 1989 show the deficiencies in the City's present Sewer Ordinance. The original ordinance was adopted in 1976. The changes that now need to be made have been created by changes in the EPA requirements and the EPA establishing new rules and regulations. Staff will be reviewing with the City Council at its Shirtsleeve Session of October 9, 1990 all of the major changes that are being proposed in the Sewer Ordinance revision. The Public Works Department will be sending the Chamber's Industrial Relations Committee a copy of the proposed changes so they can also provide input at the public hearing. TRANSFER OF FUNDS IN ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT AUTHORIZED CC -51(d) The City Council authorized the transfer of $1,820,000 from CC -56 the Utility Outlay Reserve fund and the Electric Rate Stabilization Reserve to provide for disbursements in connection with construction of the Industrial Substation. N �.' Continued October 3, 1990 The ongoing activities in connection with construction of Industrial Substation necessitates that additional funding be transferred to the appropriate accounts for such expenditures at this time. This project is proceeding on schedule and on budget with expected in-service date of mid-November 1990. Mr. "Bo" Hayes, who is construction manager under contract with Power Engineers, has monitored the erection activities and avoided cost overruns and construction slippage. 1990-91 STATE OF CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT CLAIM RESOLUTION NO. 90-156 CC -7(f) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-156 approving CC -300 the City's 1990-91 Transportation Development Act, "TDA", claim for local transportation funds, "LTF", and State Transit Assistance, "STA", and authorized the City Manager to sign on behalf of the City. The City's 1990-91 TDA claim requests all of the LTF apportionment which amounts to $1,122,480 and the STA apportionment which is $5,221. It is estimated that the City will be using approximately $363,000 of LTF and all of the STA money for the transit system. Included in this amount is the purchase of replacement vehicles in the amount of $64,000. TDA funds are used in conjunction with other street funds for the transportation improvement program and maintenance of our streets. This claim includes work in progress projects as well as street projects that are expected to be included in the capital improvement plan which will use the LTF. Projects were presented for review. Showing these projects on the City's claim allows us the flexibility to use TDA funds. It does not approve these projects for construction. The pedestrian and bicycle apportionment, $21,300, will be on the City sidewalk upgrading program together with other funds. Since this project includes pedestrian safety, it meets the requirements of this portion of the claim. PURCHASE OF THREE DIAL -A -RIDE VEHICLES APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 90-154 CC -50(b) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-154 authorizing CC -300 the "sale" of 3 Dodge Diplomats from inventory to the Dial -A -Ride fleet, and authorizing expenditures from Transportation Development Act funds as shown below to accomplish the sale. Continued October 3, 1990 A number of years ago, the City purchased five extra police vehicles for two reasons: We had heard that the Chrysler Corporation was going to discontinue making a police pursuit vehicle, and we received an excellent price for the purchase under State contract from Swift Dodge. As police vehicles have been replaced, we have used vehicles from that inventory to replace them. New pursuit vehicles now have features which some of our inventory vehicles do not have - the most noteworthy of which is airbags. We still can put these vehicles in service, but would prefer to purchase new vehicles. Our 1990-91 Transportation Development Act (TDA) claim includes the purchase of 3 vehicles to replace 3 station wagons with over 100,000 miles. It has been suggested that we use 3 of those patrol vehicles for the Dial -A -Ride fleet. Council is therefore requested to authorize the following expenditures from our TDA funds: 1. The "sale" of the 3 1989 Dodge Diplomats from the General Fund to Dial -A -Ride at a cost of $10,824.31 each. The proceeds of the sale to be placed into the Equipment Fund. 2. The expenditure of $1,950 to repaint the vehicles. 3. The expenditure of funds not to exceed $1,000 to transfer the radios, replace logos, have the vehicles inspected and otherwise made ready for use as Dial -A -Ride vehicles. AMENDED SALARY RANGES FOR CLASSIFICATIONS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 90-155 CC -34 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-155 amending CC -300 salary ranges for represented employees in the Police Unit and for Police Department mid -management employees effective October 1, 1990. 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 October 1, 1990. This revised schedule was set forth in an exhibit presented for Council's review. This increase results in 11Z Continued October 3, 1990 corresponding increases for sworn Police and Mid -Management classifications, which are also presented. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR WORKERS' COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATOR APPROVED CC -21.1(b) The City Council approved awarding the contract for CC -90 third -party Workers' Compensation Administration to Greenfield -Thompson Associates, Inc. The City Council was advised that on August 16, 1990, the City of Lodi solicited bids for proposals for administering the workers' compensation program. Nine proposals were received and reviewed in accordance with the criteria outlined in the request for proposal. Four firms were invited to participate in an oral interview. It is felt that Greenfield -Thompson Associates, Inc. is best able to meet the needs of the City. The cost for contract administration is flat annual fee of $52,800. In addition there is a one-time program implementation fee of $3,500, which still places them below the median bid. REPORT REGARDING SCHOOL BUS ZONES CC -48(a) The City Council was advised that the Public Works Department has approved a request from the Lodi Unified School District for the installation of a bus zone at the recently -constructed Beckman Elementary School located at 2201 Scarborough Drive. The 180 -foot zone will be signed "No Parking" between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., school days only, buses excepted. This zone has the advantage of providing additional parking during non -school hours for other school activities and residents. The location and length of this zone has been approved by the School District. The District has started busing at Beckman School. One hundred eighty-six feet of passenger loading zone will also be installed to provide for the loading and unloading of students from private vehicles. Lodi Municipal Code Sections 10.44.150 and 160 grant this authority to the Public Works Director. This allows the City to respond in a timely manner to property owner requests. Because of the recent opening of this school and the overall concerns of the parents and school administration, the Public Works Director used this authority. Staff will continue to obtain Council approval of bus zones where there is some controversy or other approval required, such as the Greyhound Depot on Pine at Stockton. Continued October 3, 1990 /13 COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No comments were received under the "Comments by City Council Members" segment of the agenda: 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: CONCERN EXPRESSED REGARDING AN ELDERLY LADY LIVING IN HER CAR IN LODI RESIDENTIAL AREA CC -16 Mr. Ed Byington, 100 East Oak street, Lodi expressed his CC -169 concern to the City Council about an elderly woman who is living in her car parked on the street in front of his house. Mr. Byington asked if she could be helped in locating a place to live where she would be allowed to keep her dog. The matter was referred to the City Manager. MAYOR'S GOLF TOURNAMENT Mr. Ron Williamson, Parks and Recreation Director, reminded the community of the Mayor's Golf Tournament which is being held on Sunday, October 14, 1990 advising that the final date for receiving entries is Friday, October 5, 1990 and that interested parties should contact the Lodi Parks and Recreation Department at 125 North Stockton Street.

REGULAR CALENDAR USE PERMIT APPROVED TO CONVERT HOTEL LODI TO SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT CC -14(a) The City Council was reminded that at the Shirtsleeve CC -25 Session of Tuesday, September 18, 1990 it heard a presentation by Jeff Smith, McKenzie -Smith, Oakland, California concerning plans for the conversion of the Hotel Lodi to senior housing. In attendance at the session were representatives of the Lodi Downtown Business Association, Senior Citizens Commission's Housing Task Force and the Historical Society. Each of these groups appeared to favor the McKenzie -Smith proposal. In the Ordinance which down -zoned the eastside and a portion of the central area of Lodi, the following Section appears: "(b) Any property zoned R -C -P, C-1, C-2 or C -M in the area bounded by Lockeford Street on the north; the north -south alley between Stockton Street and Main Street on the east; Lodi Avenue on the south and Church Street on the west not containing any multiple family units may build or convert to multiple family purposes after approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council."

PARKING STUDY - PLEASANT AVENUE FROM WALNUT STREET TO PINE STREET AND LEE AVENUE FROM PINE STREET TO ELM STREET CC -45(i) At the request of City Council, Pleasant Avenue between CC -48(a) Walnut Street and Pine Street has been re -studied. Council requested that the Public Works Department look into complaints that people working downtown are parking all day on Pleasant Avenue between Walnut Street and Pine Street. This concern was previously addressed by Council in November of 1987. At that time, the petitioned request of residents on Pleasant Avenue for two-hour parking with residential parking permits was denied. Existing Conditions Pleasant Avenue between Lodi Avenue and Pine Street is a one-way (northbound) 30 -foot curb -to -curb street. It provides one travel lane and unrestricted on -street parking on both sides. Parking stalls are not marked. The areas in question are zoned Residential -Commercial Professional (R -CP), General Commercial (C-2), and Residential (R-1). The segment of Lee Avenue between Pine Street and Elm Street is also included in this study due to the occasionally high on -street parking observed by staff. Lee Avenue between Lodi Avenue and Locust Street is a one-way (southbound) 26 -foot curb -to -curb street. It provides one travel lane and unrestricted on -street parking on both sides. Parking stalls are not marked. Exhibits presented for the City Council's review showed the following information: ° Existing on -street parking restrictions in the general area and adjacent off-street parking lots. Existing land use of parcels fronting the study areas. ° Garages and off-street parking spaces available on residential use parcels. 14 sio r j` Continued October 3, 1990 Parking Surveys A. Pleasant Avenue ° Off -Street Parking Three commercial areas between Pine and Walnut have private off-street parking lots. The parking lots on the southeast and southwest corners of Pine and Pleasant provide marked stalls totalling 30 and 17*, respectively. The parking lot for the San Joaquin Local Health District office at the southwest corner of Oak and Pleasant has no marked stalls. This lot can hold approximately 10 cars. Exhibit E shows that on the days that we counted cars in the two commercial onsite lots adjacent to Pine Street, they were only approximately 47% full. This is slightly less than the 50% recorded in the 1987 survey. Parking in the Health District lot has also decreased from 37% in 1987 to the current 32%. ° On -Street Parking Exhibit E shows the number of available parking spaces in each half -block and the number of cars parked in the half -block during the survey. The results from the 1987 and 1990 surveys are summarized below: Walnut to Oak N/Alley S/Alley Year Studied 1987 1990 1987 1990 # stalls on -street 10 10 8 8 Highest # of parked vehicles 9 8 5 7 Average # of parked vehicles 4.6 4.3 2.2 2.6 Average % occupied 46% 43% 28% 33% This indicates that ample on -street parking is still available for the residential uses in this block. However, residents often may not be able to park directly in front of their homes. *Five parking stalls were added to this lot during the survey period. Of the six surveys performed after these stalls were added, only a total of seven vehicles were observed. 15 119 . Continued October 3, 1990 Oak to Pine N/Alley S/Alley Year Studied 1987 1990 1987 1990 # stalls on -street 11 11 12 12 Highest # of parked vehicles 11 11 8 10 Average # of parked vehicles 7.7 7.5 6.6 6.1 Average % occupied 70% 68% 55% 51% On -street parking in this block is heavier than the block to the south and is highest near Pine Street fronting the commercial uses and nearest to City Hall. City Hall employees parked in this block averaged slightly more than 1 vehicle per survey. B. Lee Avenue ° Off -Street Parking One off-street parking area exists on the east side between Pine Street and Elm Street. This lot provides 17 private parking stalls for the Masonic Building (10 offices and social hall) and Women's Club. It also provides 56 public parking stalls, including 1 handicap stall. Another exhibit presented showed that on the days that we counted cars, the public lot was approximately 79% full. City employee parking in this lot averaged approximately 18 vehicles per survey. The private lot was approximately 59% full. ° On -Street Parking Exhibit E shows the number of available parking spaces in each half -block and the number of cars parked in the half -block during the survey. The results are summarized below: Pine to Elm N/Alley S/Alley Year Studied 1990 1990 # stalls on -street 12 11 Highest # of parked vehicles 11 11 Average # of parked vehicles 4.2 4.4 Average % occupied 35% 40% Average on -street parking in this block was low. Only 1 of the 16 surveys performed shows more than half of the available parking in this block being used. Sporadic events at the Women's Club and the juror selection days may account for the 16 1GV Continued October 3, 1990 occasional parking problem. The number of City Hall employee vehicles parked in this block is insignificant. Alternatives Parking alternatives are described below. These alternatives exclude frontages along social gathering halls and churches. These facilities will periodically be used for more than two-hour increments during the day and are not suitable for preferential parking permits. Alternative A - Two -Hour Parkin (Except Sundays and Holidays) -On-street parking would be limited to two hours between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The advantage to this alternative is that it would deter employees of businesses out of the immediate vicinity from parking in these areas. The disadvantage is that residents and their visitors would be under the same restriction during the specified hours. Alternative B - Preferential Parkin - Time Limit Parking With Residential Permits On -street parking would be prohibited for two hours of the day in front of residences and permits would be available for a fee exempting residents from this restriction. The advantages to this alternative are that residents with valid permits will be allowed to park on -street without any restrictions. It would also deter employees out of the immediate vicinity from parking in these areas. The disadvantages are that the areas could only be enforced during the restricted hours and mix of uses on block faces would make signing and enforcement difficult, especially as more of the lots zoned R -CP are changed to commercial uses. Discussion The Finance Department was contacted again regarding enforcement in these areas. Their comments still indicate that enforcement would be difficult with the existing personnel and recommends against modifying the existing on -street parking. Since the majority of non-commercial lots are zoned R -CP, it can be assumed the daytime parking demand will increase as homes are converted to businesses. Two residents in the area indicated to Public Works staff that the vehicles parking on Pleasant Avenue belong to employees of local businesses as well as downtown. They also mentioned that during rainy weather, the vehicles of downtown employees are not parked on Pleasant Avenue. This 17 121 Continued October 3, 1990 indicates that either alternate parking is available or they are parking in two-hour zones. Summary/Recommendations The parking survey on Lee Avenue indicates that on -street parking for residents is available along this block except for a few days of the month. Because an on -street parking problem is uncommon and the off-street parking is being utilized, staff recommends no modification to the existing parking. The parking survey on Pleasant Avenue indicates that on -street parking in the residential areas is still available within a reasonable distance from homes. The average number of vehicles parked on -street has changed very little. The off-street parking for the two commercial lots at the southeast and southwest corners of Pleasant Avenue and Pine Street dropped by 4% from the 1987 survey. Parking in the Health District lot dropped by 5%. Due to the availability of on -street parking, staff still feels that no parking modifications should be made. However, if Council determines that modifications are necessary, a public hearing should be set to review the alternatives. Of the two alternatives, staff would recommend Alternative A (two-hour parking). Alternative A would deter employee parking during the day and provide unrestricted parking for residents and guests from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. It may also make more employees use the provided off-street parking. As the residences in the R -CP zone district become commercial uses, two-hour parking will most likely be the preferred restriction. Addressing the City Council regarding the matter were the following persons: a) Theo Vanderberg, representing the Woman's Club of Lodi b) Mr. Stan Ward, Reeves Company, Inc. Following a lengthy discussion, with questions being directed to staff and to those who addressed the City Council regarding the matter, the City council on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Reid second, determined to take no action in the matter. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members - Pinkerton, Olson, and Reid Noes: Council Members - Hinchman and Snider Absent: Council Members - None 18 1 /G4 t Continued October 3, 1990 CONTRACT WITH PROFESSIONAL SPORTS MARKETING, INC. TO SECURE THROUGH LOCAL AND NATIONAL SPONSORSHIPS, SCOREBOARDS FOR VARIOUS PARK FACILITIES APPROVED CC -90 Parks and Recreation Director Ron Williamson addressed the City Council advising that Mr. Miller, Professional Sports Marketing, Inc., as associate of his from professional baseball involvement, contacted him approximately a month and a half ago with his company's proposal. Sounding too good to be true, he had Mr. Miller bring his proposal, recommendations and contract before the Parks and Recreation Commisison for their review. After hearing Mr. Miller's presentation and much discussion, the Commission voted approval of this program and requested to seek City Manager and Council approval to give Mr. Miller the opportunity to secure needed sponsors which would in turn lead to installation of scoreboards at various major park facilities (Grape Bowl, Kofu, Salas) and to investigate the electrical marquee to advertise department programs, activities and events. Mr. Miller's company will: 1. Purchase approved scoreboards (agreement between Department Administration and PSM), 2. Install the boards, and 3. Maintain the boards for five years at no cost to the City. The City must give PSM the right to seek and secure sponsors for the various boards for a period of twleve years. They also need electrical service brought to the site where the boards would be installed. We have checked PSM's references at St. Mary's and Hayward State colleges and Granada High School in Livermore and find them in 100% support of the PSM program and attest to installation procedures and agreements. Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Reid second, the City Council approved the City entering into a contract with Professional Sports Marketing, Inc. to secure through local and national sponsorships, scoreboards for various park facilities. 19 Continued October 3, 1990 ORIGINATION OF ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL SUBSTATION SITE AND THE REMAINING DIEKMAN PARCEL CONTINUED TO OCTOBER 17, 1990 MEETING 123 z On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Reid second, the City Council continued to the October 17, 1990 meeting agenda item K-4, entitled, "Originate annexation proceedings for the Industrial Substation site and the remaining Diekman parcel, 5200 East Sargent Road (APN 049-070-02)".

The new 8 inch water main in Sacramento Street wil provide better water pressure to the businesses in this block. These businesses are currently tapped into a 2 inch water main. When 221 South Sacramento Street washes cherries during the spring season, there is such a draw in the 2 inch City main that the other businesses have no water pressure. The new water main will eliminate this problem. The City has also had an ongoing problem with a public wastewater main in the Post Office parking lot. A sag in this main cannot be fixed because it is located under a handicap ramp and a wall which was built with the Post Office remodel project.
