On October 2, 1990, one lot of scrap wire and metal was sold to the high bidder, Robert Griffin (dba B & G Machinery, Lodi) for the amount of $1,837.30. During the course of operations the Electric Utility Department accumulates scrap wire and metal. Approximately twice a year these accumulations are offered for bids to scrap metal dealers in the Lodi/Stockton/Sacramento area. This latest offering yielded bids from LMC high bidder, B & G Machinery of Lodi. SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS - STEEL LIGHT STANDARDS APPROVED CC -12.1(b) The City Council approved the specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for the purchase of 47 steel light standards. The Electric Utility Department has issued preliminary work orders for the replacement of 39 steel light poles. Recent K, Continued October 17, 1990 J29 inspections and tests have revealed existence of metal fatigue in some of the older standards in the street light system. As a result, the Department is moving forward to replace those poles with new, galvanized steel standards. The additional eight poles would be placed in inventory to provide immediate replacements for other poles found, in the future, to be deficient. The estimated cost of this purchase is $20,500, with funding available in the Public Works/Street Light Maintenance account. The bid opening is scheduled for Tuesday, October 30, 1990. SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS - TURF FERTILIZER APPROVED CC -12.1(c) The City Council approved the specifications and authorized the advertisement for bids for the purchase of 20 tons of Best "Turf Gold" slow-release fertilizer for use in various City parks. Each year the Parks Department purchases fertilizer for use on the City's 208 acres of parks. Experience has shown that Best Turf Gold yields a lower annual cost per acre due to a longer nitrogen release time, requiring fewer applications per year, than water-soluble or agricultural blend fertilizer. This purchase, having an estimated cost of $9,000, is included in the Parks Department's 1990-91 budget. The bid opening date has been set for Tuesday, October 30, 1990.

The existing backstop has been in use for many years and is in need of major repairs. The new backstop will be 40 feet high and will provide additional safety for the spectators. Ball clubs playing in the park have also been complaining about foul balls that are lost because our backstop is too low. The 40 -foot backstop will keep more balls in the field and save teams the cost of replacing them. This project will also install fencing around the left field bullpen area and the field drinking fountains to provide additional protection for the ball players. APPROVED PURCHASE OF 1200 KVAR CAPACITOR BANKS RESOLUTION NO. 90-158 CC -12(d) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-158 awarding the CC -300 bid for the purchase of two 1200 KVAR Capacitor Banks to the sole bidder whose proposal meets specifications, Cooper Power Systems of Burlingame, in the amount of $7,843.38.

The capacitor banks are planned for installation at various locations throughout the City to increase electrical system capacity and to maintain high service levels during periods of peak demand. Delivery would be fourteen weeks after placement of the order. Funding for this purchase is available in Electric Utility Department's Operating Fund.

Mayor Snider informed Mr. Pruss that the City has approved this plan in concept, and City Manager Peterson 7 134 i I/ / Continued October 17, 1990 will make a copy of this plan available in the Lodi Library for public review. CONCERN REGARDING REMOVAL OF OAK TREES ALONG VICTOR ROAD CC -16 The following people spoke regarding the saving of the oak CC -49 trees along Victor Road and requested that a Historic Preservation of Trees Ordinance be introduced to save the remaining trees and others like them. 1. Barbara Graham, Teacher, Lodi High School, 3 South Pacific, Lodi, California; 2. 3. 4. Gypsy Andrews, Senior, Lodi High School, 3 South Pacific, Lodi, California; Amy Lung, Senior, Lodi High School, 3 South Pacific, Lodi, California; and Elizabeth Baker, 321 Donner, Lodi, California. Barbara Graham submitted for Council's information letters from students of Lodi High School, which copies are on file in the City Clerk's office. Also submitted for the Council's review was an article appearing in the Flames Newsletter, written by Lodi High School Senior, Gypsy Andrews, as shown below: STUDENTS PROTEST DESTRUCTION OF TREES ALONG VICTOR ROAD A new development in progress on Victor Road has led to the chopping down of trees, causing environmental awareness to rise among Lodi citizens. The development, sponsored by Dart Container, Ted Molfino, and Teresi Trucking, is required by the City to have curbs and sidewalks installed as with other developments. This, in essence, will bring the removal of an entire row of historic trees, three of which have already been cut down. LHS teacher, Barbara Graham, has made several phone calls to the City of Lodi and to Assistant City Engineer, Richard Prima, in regard to her concern about the utter demolition of the trees. The response Graham received from Prima was in a tone of "arrogance" and proved to be of no effect due to his difference of opinion in the matter. However, Alice Reimche, City Clerk, gave Graham some new enlightenment of the trees' history. Graham was told that the line of trees along Victor Road is the longest row of any trees existing in the United States. Thus the destruction of the trees would bring a great loss to priceless historical monuments. Continued October 17, 1990 135 Dawn Litton, LHS senior, also understands this loss. "When I was a little girl, my family and I would stop and get mistletoe at Christmas time from those trees. It's disappointing to me. Progress shouldn't bring destruction." Not only would the loss of these trees bring a loss to history, but also a loss to one vital aspect in the circle of life: the release of oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis. If trees continue to be chopped down in order that progress be made, the world's supply of oxygen will slowly be depleted. This is an environmental fact by which Lodi citizens must take heed and speak out against threats to the system. The opportunity in which to do so will be on October 17, 1990 at the next City Council meeting. Concerned students and residents should make it a point to attend so as to impede further destruction in their City and in their environment. Angry students and teachers from LHS intend to make speeches at the City Council meeting concerning the situation, pointing out two alternative solutions to the tree problem. The other solutions (other than removal) include either rerouting the water system so as not to interfere with the trees' routes, or to simply build the sidewalks around the trees. It is a known fact that in larger metropolitan areas, efforts have been made to save trees by doing just that. Also, the sidewalk at Hutchins Street Square has managed to have been built around the trees in order that they might be salvaged. Both are viable options to the developers. Concerned residents aimed at putting a stop to the tree chopping might find reassurance in the following: ° Sonoma County residents saved many trees which grew along the Russian River just last year by protesting their opinion. The same company, Teresi Trucking, which is involved in the Victor Road incident, tried to do the same thing last year in the Clements area. The progressive development was stopped, once again due to angry residents who made clear their stand. However, if a stand is not made now, it will soon be too late to save the trees and the teens of today will inherit an earth of devastation and decay. Responsibility should be taken by all. The City Council directed the Public Works Director to ensure that no trees be cut down before the approval of the project by the City Council. E 136 Continued October 17, 1990 EXECUTIVE SESSION CC -200(d) The City Council adjourned to an Executive Session regarding the following matter: 1. Litigation - City of Lodi vs Diekman et al At approximately 8:15 p.m. the City Council returned and on motion of Mayor Snider, Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman second, it voted unanimously to settle with the Diekmans as indicated in the settlement agreement.

However, such rebuilt or restored structure shall not exceed the square footage of the original structure and shall otherwise conform to all applicable building regulations for residences." In June of this year, Loretta Churchill corresponded with the Planning Commission concerning a dwelling she owned at 609 South Sacramento Street and her problems in selling the property because of lenders' conditions for loaning on the parcel. 11 138 J Continued October 17, 1990 The Planning Commission instructed the staff to prepare a zoning study of the South Sacramento Street area. A copy presented for Council's information is on file in the City Clerk's office. After reviewing the study, the Planning Commission asked the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the Zoning Regulations which would accomplish Option 3 as discussed in the staff study. The amendment has received widespread support from the property owners in the study area. Questions were directed from the Council to the Community Development Director. Mayor Snider then opened the hearing to the public. The following person spoke in favor of the amendment of the Lodi Municipal Code Title 17 - Zoning - Section 17.69.020: 1) Loretta Churchill, 1513 South Pleasant Avenue, Lodi, California.

Dear Mr. Mayor: Last week, I believe the 11th, while we were gone, my garage was entered and my grandson's bike was stolen. This 13 14U Continued October 17, 1990 is a daily occurrence, unworthy of note, except for one unusual item. Mr. Randy McVinnie, a Public Works Department employee, saw the bike being taken away. He acted in a way that exemplifies him as a man with great integrity. He apprehended the thief and held him for the police; an act that these days could be very dangerous. In these times of "let George do it", and "I don't want to get involved", he took it upon himself to act. I commend him as an example to us all. Mr. McVinnie is a credit to the City as a fine example of a public employee, and as a citizen. Please attach this letter of commendation to Mr. McVinnie's personnel file. Terry Piazza Secretary Treasurer REGULAR CALENDAR REVIEW OF STATE BALLOT PROPOSITIONS 126 AND 134 CC -18 City Attorney McNatt reminded Council that at an earlier CC -28 City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman requested that at a Council meeting prior to November 6, 1990 a discussion and review be held regarding Proposition 126 and Proposition 134. A summary of the propositions was presented by the City Attorney as follows: PROPOSITION 126 - The Alcohol Abuse and Drug Education Tax Act of 1990. Imposes excise tax and excise surtax on beer, wine and distilled spirits, as specified, that would supercede such taxes previously imposed and would be in lieu of all county, city or district taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages. Placed on Ballot By: ACA 38 (Cortese). Arguments For: 1. The measure, supported by a broad bipartisan coalition of educators, alcohol abuse s experts, taxpayer advocates, farmers, and other community leaders, would help prevent 14 Continued October 17, 1990 alcohol abuse among children by allocating nearly $1 billion to schools over a 10 -year period. 2. Funds raised by this measure could be used effectively in such programs as hiring new officers to increase drunk driving patrols; treating alcoholics in trauma centers and mental health facilities; curing alcoholics in rehabilitation and recovery programs; and stepping up the war on illegal drug use and alcohol abuse. 3. The money raised by this proposition comes strictly from a tax on beer, wine and distilled spirits; not one penny comes from income, sales or other taxes. Arguments Against: 1. New tax revenues from this measure will be deposited in the state general fund, to be spent at the discretion of the State Legislature. 2. Nothing will be done to address the negative impacts and costs of alcohol abuse to California taxpayers. 3. This initiative does not guarantee funding for alcohol and drug use education, programs affected by alcohol abuse or enforcement of drunk driving laws. League of California Cities Policy Committees' (Community Services, Public Safety, and Revenue and Taxation) position: oppose California Chamber of Commerce's position: support A copy of the full text of information concerning this proposition as contained in the California Ballot Pamphlet for the November 6, 1990 General Election is on file in the City Clerk's office. PROPOSITION 134 - Alcohol Surtax Fund. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute. Imposes an additional tax on alcohol products (5 cents per 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine, three ounces of fortified wine, one ounce of distilled spirits and an additional per unit floor stock tax). Resulting revenues would be deposited in the newly created Alcohol Surtax Fund to be appropriated for, among other things, alcohol and 15 14Z i� Continued October 17, 1990 drug abuse prevention, treatment and recovery programs, emergency medical care, community mental health programs, child abuse and domestic violence prevention training and victim service, alcohol and drug-related law enforcement costs. The funds are to be supplemental and not meant to replace existing funds. This measure is also called the Connelly initiative. Proponent: Andrew McGuire. Arguments For: 1. Approximately 33 percent of all mentally ill and homeless persons also have alcohol and drug problems. 2. This measure targets the heavy drinkers, the drunk drivers and alcohol abusers who cause most of the deaths and injuries attributable to alcohol. Arguments Against: 1. Proposition 134 continues the trend toward ballot box budgeting by earmarking the funds it raises. 2. This measure penalizes all Californians by locking in $1.2 billion in current state spending and relying on tax increases to fund annual budget increases. League of California Cities Policy Committees' (Community Services, Public Safety, Revenue and Taxation) position: support California Chamber of Commerce's position: oppose A copy of the full text of information concerning this proposition as contained in the California Ballot Pamphlet for the November 6, 1990 General Election is on file in the City Clerk's office.

Y Lodi's share of the request is based on the Urban County Allocation formula. The allocation ratio is shown on the letter from Rene Jackson, San Joaquin County Block Grant Administrator, which is on file in the City Clerk's office. The proposed funding of $6,450.00 from Grant Administration is money not spent in 1989-90 fiscal year.
