PURCHASE OF HEWLETT-PACKARD
MICROCOMPUTERS AND MISCELLANEOUS
PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT
RESOLUTION NO. 90-163
CC -12(d) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-163 approving
CC -300 the purchase of five Hewlett-Packard microcomputer systems
for use in the Public Works Department from Hall -Mark
Electronics in an amount not to exceed $35,000.
Bidder
On October 3, 1990, the City Council approved
specifications for the purchase of five Hewlett-Packard
microcomputer systems and peripherals. The specifications
included provisions for a "base bid" and additional bids
for some alternatives, mostly video monitors and memory
upgrades.
Bids were opened on October 24 and the following six bids
were received:

*Base bid did not meet specifications
**Corrected figure
The low bidder, Hall -Mark Electronics, also included
installation of memory chips, initial testing, and
installation of the operating system which none of the
other bidders included. This will save the City at least
one full day of staff time. Staff is still investigating
some of the alternative memory and video configurations and
may wish to select some of those items in lieu of items
included in the base bid.
This purchase would expand capability to run AutoCAD, as
well as engineering, spreadsheet, word processing and data
base programs. Future plans include integrating all Public
Works systems into a local area network. Two systems are
for the Building and Equipment Maintenance Division for
maintenance management programs.

PURCHASE OF 20 TONS OF
TURF FERTILIZER FOR PARKS
AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
RESOLUTION NO. 90-164
CC -12(d) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-164 awarding the
CC -300 bid for the purchase of 20 tons of Best "Turf Gold"
slow-release turf fertilizer to the low bidder, San Joaquin
Sulfur Company of Lodi, in the amount of $8,956.88.
On October 17, 1990, the City Council approved
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for
the purchase of 20 tons of Best "Turf Gold". Bids were
opened on October 30, 1990, with the following results:
San Joaquin Sulfur Co., Lodi $ 8,956.88
Turf Tech, Sacramento 9,010.00
Wilbur -Ellis Co., Stockton 9,277.11
Orchard Supply Co., Sacramento 9,520.00
Lockhart Seeds, Stockton 10,883.40
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 a water-soluble or agricultural
blend fertilizer.
Funds for this purchase have been allocated in the Parks
Department 1990/91 budget.
PURCHASE OF 47 STEEL LIGHT STANDARDS
RESOLUTION NO. 90-165
CC -12(d) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-165 awarding the
CC -300 bid for the purchase of 47 steel light standards to the
bidder whose proposal yields the lowest net cost to the
City, Lingo Industrial Lighting of Sacramento, in the
amount of $20,724.05.

Continued November 7, 1990
On October 17, 1990, the City Council approved
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for
the purchase of 47 steel light standards. Bids were opened
on October 30, 1990, with the following results:
Lingo Industrial Lighting, Sacramento
$20,933.38 less 1% when paid within
ten days of invoice. Net cost: $20,724.05
Westinghouse Electric, Concord
$20,906.49, net 30 days. Net cost: $20,906.49
Both bidders offered identical poles manufactured by
Valmont Industries. Further, Lingo Industrial quoted a
four week lead time, while Westinghouse quoted a lead time
of four to six weeks.
The Electric Utility Department has issued preliminary work
orders for the replacement of 39 steel light poles. Recent
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 to be
deficient.
Funding for this purchase is available in the 1990/91
Public Works/Street Light Maintenance account.

CC -27(b) The City Council awarded the lease for 220- acres of
agricultural land at White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility to Lima Ranch and authorized the City Manager and
City Clerk to execute the lease agreement.
The tenant presently subleasing this property from the
City's lessee, Tamura Farms, wanted to plant alfalfa and
requested that the City go to bid a year before the
expiration of the lease. Since alfalfa is a multi-year
crop, he did not want to plant alfalfa if he was unable to
renew the lease in 1991. The City went to bid for the
lease of this property from November 15, 1991 through
December 31, 1993 and received the following three bids:
Total Rent for Term of Lease
Lima Ranch $103,069.99
Tamura Farms $99,343.75
Alfred Bechthold $70,025.00

SPT Co. is in the process of installing crossing
protection at this intersection. Construction of the
traffic signal should begin in Spring 1991 after Caltrans
approves the plans.
PERSONNEL SERVICES CONTRACT
WITH THOMAS CARTWRIGHT FOR
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
CC -34 The City Council approved the proposed Personal Services
CC -90 Contract with Thomas Cartwright for traffic engineering
services and authorized the City Manager to execute the
contract on behalf of the City.
The Engineering Division has had an opening for a half-time
position in Traffic Engineering since a contract was
approved for a full-time employee, Paula Fernandez, to
work half-time. After an open recruitment, the City has
found a person to fill the "other half" of the position.
Mr. Thomas Cartwright has most recently worked in the
traffic control business as a manufacturer's representative
for over 13 years and previously for 12 years on the east
coast for both public agencies and private firms. He is
also willing to increase his hours while Ms. Fernandez is
on maternity leave with her second child.
The Personal Services Contract is modeled after the one
previously approved for Ms. Fernandez. The base salary
is comparable to that of a Junior Civil Engineer with
adjustments for benefits. Other terms and conditions have
been modified to account for the fact that Mr. Cartwright
has not been a permanent City employee.
REPORT ON VICTOR ROAD
(HIGHWAY 12) IMPROVEMENTS
CC -16 The Lodi City Council was advised that at its October 17,
CC -49 1990 meeting, the City Council directed staff to look into
the possibility of saving trees on the south side of Victor
Road (State Highway 12) and in particular, the trees at
Teresi development at Victor Road and Guild Avenue. This
direction was prompted by citizen concerns over the trees
10
1. 56
Continued November 7, 1990
F
that had been removed on the Teresi property and numerous
trees that exist further east.
The trees in question are located on the south side of
Victor Road within the State Highway right-of-way between
Cluff Avenue and Locust Tree Road. There are approximately
100 trees east of the Central California Traction (CCT)
tracks. Based on old aerial photos, there were 29 trees
located between the CCT tracks and Highway 99 after Highway
99 was constructed. Most of these trees have been removed
with the following projects:
° 7 trees - Misc. developments between Highway 99 and
Cluff Avenue
8 trees - Lodi Door and misc. developments east of
Cluff Avenue
5 trees - Dart Container east of Guild Avenue
4 trees - Teresi, west of Guild Avenue to Lodi Door
1 tree - Guild Avenue intersection
Thus four trees remain fronting the undeveloped parcel
between Dart Container and the CCT tracks.
Development of the land included installation of curb,
gutter, sidewalk, and utilities as required by City
ordinances. Based on the location of the trees and the
required alignment and width of Victor Road by the State of
California, there has been little choice but to remove the
trees. We do not recall any opposition to the earlier tree
removals.
The Teresi project is the second phase of a subdivision
which included the Dart Container project east of Guild
Avenue. The Dart improvement project was approved and
constructed in 1985, including plans for the Victor Road
improvements showing removal of the trees. Construction of
Guild Avenue was deferred pending development of the
property west of Guild Avenue. In 1990, the owners
initiated the necessary updating of the plans in
preparation for development and Dart Container was
requested to work with the owners on the joint installation
of Guild Avenue. As the plans neared completion, the land
was cleared and the owners contracted with Claude C. Wood
Company to do the public improvement work on Victor Road.
A subcontractor for Claude C. Wood started to remove the
trees on Victor Road without obtaining the necessary State
permits and was stopped by Caltrans after three trees were
cut down. Of the two trees left, one was located with the
Guild Avenue intersection and must be removed.
11
157
Continued November 7, 1990
During the time between this tree removal and the Council
meeting of October 17, 1990, City staff was contacted by
three persons regarding the trees. The first call was from
a County Public Works engineer who asked about our policies
and approval procedures regarding tree removal. He noted
that their policy was that all tree removals within the
right-of-way be specifically approved by the Board of
Supervisors. The second call came later from a citizen who
asked about what could be done to save the trees. Based on
the City's past approvals and the fact that the trees were
in the State right-of-way, the caller was directed to the
City Council and/or the State. (After the Council meeting,
another call was received. The caller supported efforts to
save the trees but did not wish to leave a name).
At the October 17, 1990 Council meeting, staff indicated
that we would check with Caltrans to see if the permit
could be delayed. Unbeknownst to us, the permit had
already been issued. As we ater earned, the matter had
been reviewed and approved by a number of persons at
Caltrans, all the way up to the District Director. Their
review by traffic engineers as well as a landscape
architect, all concluded that it was appropriate to remove
the remaining tree.
On Thursday, after the City Council meeting on October 17,
1990 staff contacted all the parties involved in the
project. We first checked with Caltrans and found out that
the permit was issued and since it had been approved by the
Director, the Permit Department would not put a hold on the
work. We were directed to the Traffic Department and the
Director's Office. Both the Director and head of Traffic
were on vacation. We then contacted Claude C. Wood Company
and the tree subcontractor and left messages that the trees
should not be cut. We spoke with the project engineer who
was very concerned about construction delays, especially
given the time of year. We also spoke with John Teresi who
agreed to delay the work until Monday, October 22 while
staff worked with Caltrans.
City traffic and survey staff made additional filed
measurements to determine what modifications to the plans
would have to be made in order to save the one remaining
tree not within the Guild Avenue intersection.
The tree is located 31 feet from the centerline. The face
of curb is to be 32 feet from the centerline. Thus saving
the tree would mean one of the following:
1. Move the curb and gutter toward the
centerline, creating a space behind the curb
for the tree. This space would need to be
at least 6 feet.
12
i 0d
Continued November 7, 1990
2.
3.
Move the curb and gutter behind the tree and
place a guardrail in front of the tree.
Leave out the curb and gutter and place
guardrail in front of the tree.
These options were discussed with the head of the Caltrans
Traffic Branch and the acting director on Friday, October
19, 1990. They did not approve any of these options,
mainly because all would place an object in the pavement
that would protrude from the curb alignment already
established on both sides of the project. They also noted
that the 32 foot 1/2 width was already 6 feet narrower than
their current standards for this type of highway. Option 1
would further reduce the width to 26 feet and Options 2 and
3 would be approximately 28 feet.
On Monday, October 22, 1990 we informed Claude C. Wood
Company that we could not legally stop them from removing
the trees. However, the improvement plans had not yet been
signed. On Tuesday, we received the attached letter from
Caltrans. By late Wednesday, October 24, 1990 the owners
had provided the insurance, fees and Caltrans permits
required by the City. Therefore, we issued a City permit
for the work. To further delay the work, after all our
requirments have been met, would not only be unfair to the
property owners, it would have left the City open to a
lawsuit. The two remaining trees were cut on Friday,
October 26, 1990.
The Future
In all our discussions with the State, County, citizens and
developers, it was clear that the fate of the remaining
trees to the east should be considered now, rather than
piecemeal or in the middle of a development project.
As discussed previously with the City Council, one of the
first projects that will be undertaken after adoption of
the General Plan, will be a study of Highway 12/Kettleman
Lane. Originally the study was to focus on the interchange
at Highway 99. Later it became obvious that the study
needed to include lane geometrics, access control, medians
and other items on Kettleman Lane both east and west of
Highway 99. This study would be the appropriate place to
look at Victor Road since it is the extension of Highway 12
to the east.

or others) will have to be considered. In addition, it
should be remembered that any work around oak trees often
proves to be fatal to the tree. The City has had only
mixed success in saving trees adjacent to new or widened
streets.
The draft General Plan includes a recommendation that a
heritage tree ordinance be developed. This could affect
trees on both private property as well as public
rights-of-way. Aside from the Victor Road project, the
Council may wish to start on such an ordinance. We suggest
that a committee including private citizens, the
development community, City staff and possibly a qualified
tree consultant be established to draft a workable
ordinance and implementation guidelines. The Public Works
Department would be glad to participate in such an effort.
INSTALLATION OF OFF-SITE
IMPROVEMENTS, FAST GAS
SERVICE STATION, SOUTHEAST
CORNER OF LOWER SACRAMENTO
ROAD AND KETTLEMAN LANE
CC -46 The City Council ordered the installation of the off-site
improvements around the Fast Gas Service Station at the
southeast corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman
Lane.
As part of its approval of the Sunwest Plaza Shopping
Center, the Planning Commission has recommended that the
off-site improvements around the existing service station
be installed. The City Council can make this requirement
under existing law.
The Public Works Department will coordinate this project
with the installation of the shopping center improvements.
With the exception of signage, the Planning Commission
and SPARC have completed their respective review and
conditional approval of the shopping center project.

unmet transit needs on December 5, 1990 at 9:00 a.m. at the
Senior Information Center, Hutchins Street Square, and at
7:30 p.m. at the regular Council meeting at Carnegie Forum.
State law requires that the agency hold a public hearing to
receive testimony on unmet transit needs which are
perceived to exist in the transit service area. This
hearing should be completed by the end of the calendar year.
The requirement is to receive public input only and to
determine needs which can reasonably be met. It is not
appropriate to address how those needs are to be met at
that hearing.
Council should be aware there is a move afoot to establish
a fixed -route bus system. A fixed -route system is not a
need but a means of fulfilling a need.
AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE BOARD OF
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LODI PERTAINING TO
THIRD LEVEL OF 1959 SURVIVOR
BENEFITS
RESOLUTION NO. 90-168
CC -34 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-168 - Resolution
CC -300 of Intention to Approve an Amendment to Contract Between
and the Board of Administration of the Public Employees'
Retirement System and the City Council of the City of Lodi.
We have agreed with all bargaining units except Fire to
provide the third -level of 1959 survivor benefits.
Council adopted the necessary ordinance but did not adopt
the appropriate Resolution of Intention. For PERS to
amend our contract this resolution must be adopted.
Since the time of the original agreement with the other
bargaining units we have told the Fire Fighters they too
would be covered with this benefit. We must begin that
15
Continued November 7, 1990
process after this first amendment is finalized. We will
bring an amendment to include the Fire Fighters in December.
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION AMENDMENT -
MAPLE STREET AT GARFIELD
STREET AND LEE AVENUE AT OAK
STREET, INTERSECTION CONTROL
RESOLUTION NO. 90-169
CC -48(h) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-169 amending the
CC -300 Traffic Resolution 87-163 to approve the conversion of
"Yield" signs to "Stop" signs at the intersections of Maple
Street at Garfield Street and Lee Avenue at Oak Street.
The intersections of Maple Street at Garfield Street and
Lee Avenue at Oak Street have been reviewed due to their
accident rates and complaints received. Maple Street
currently yields at Garfield Street. This intersection
provides two directions of travel on each of its four
legs. Lee Avenue currently yields at Oak Street. This
segment of Lee Avenue is one-way southbound, while Oak
Street provides two directions of travel.
Based on the accident records and traffic volumes, staff
recommends converting the "Yield" signs to "Stop" signs at
both of these intersections. The volumes indicate that
four-way or three-way stops would not be justified, and the
existing right-of-way control is on the appropriate streets.
CHEROKEE LANE NORTH OF
PIONEER DRIVE -
"NO PARKING" ZONE
RESOLUTION NO. 90-170
CC -48(e) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-170 approving
CC -300 the installation of a 275 -foot "No Parking" zone on the
west side of Cherokee Lane north of Pioneer Drive.
The Public Works Department has received two citizen
complaints and one Police Department complaint regarding
the sight obstruction created by trucks parking on the west
side of Cherokee Lane north of Pioneer Drive. Staff has
verified truck parking is legal and trucks are parking at
this location. Available accident records indicate that
only one right angle accident involving southbound and
eastbound vehicles occurred during the 3 3/4 years from
1987 to the present. According to the accident report,
this 1989 collision was not caused by a sight obstruction.
Traffic volumes for Pioneer Drive and Cherokee Lane are
approximately 780 and 10,000 vehicles per day,
respectively. The posted speed limit on Cherokee Lane
16
1bG
Continued November 7, 1990
south of Pioneer Drive is 40 mph. The prima facie speed
limit on Pioneer Drive is 25 mph.
Although the sight obstruction has not led to an accident
problem, staff has verified the truck parking problem and
sight obstruction and recommends the installation of 275
feet of "No Parking" zone.
This section of roadway is under State of California
jurisdiction and will require Caltrans approval after City
Council approval.
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION AMENDMENT -
ESTABLISH EVERGREEN DRIVE AND
CRESCENT AVENUE FROM KETTLEMAN
LANE TO LODI AVENUE AS THROUGH STREETS
RESOLUTION NO. 90-171
CC -48(a) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-171 amending the
CC -300 Traffic Resolution 87-163 to establish Evergreen Drive from
the north City limits to the south City limits and Crescent
Avenue from Kettleman Lane to Lodi Avenue as through
streets.
The City's informal guidelines for considering establishing
through streets are traffic volumes of approximately 2,000
vehicles per day and use as a minor collector. Minor cross
streets intersecting through streets are controlled by stop
signs.
- Evergreen Drive
The Public Works Department has received two recent
complaints requesting a stop sign on Park West Drive at
Evergreen Drive and at other cross streets. Evergreen
Drive runs the entire length of the existing Park West
Subdivision and is designed to collector street standards.
Evergreen Drive will eventually be extended north to Turner
Road and south through the Batch property subdivision. The
intersection of Evergreen Drive and Elm Street will be
controlled by multi -way stop signs when the streets are
extended. Current traffic volumes are approximately 1,250
vehicles per day. Although the volume is below the
recommended minimum, the street is being used as a
collector and projected volumes will exceed 2,000 vehicles
per day when the adjacent property develops. For these
reasons, staff has no objection to establishing Evergreen
Drive as a through street from north City limits to the
south City limits. Stop signs will be installed on all
minor streets constructed in the future that intersect
Evergreen Drive. The prima facie speed limit of this
street is 25 miles per hour.
17
Continued November 7, 1990
- Crescent Avenue
1 63
The segment of Crescent Avenue from Kettleman Lane to Lodi
Avenue is designed to collector street standards and is
being used as such. Traffic volumes are approximately
2,200 vehicles per day. Designating this section of
Crescent Avenue as a through street would be consistent
with other similar streets such as Mills Avenue, West
Lockeford Street, and Brandywine Drive. For these
reasons, staff recommends establishing Crescent Avenue from
Kettleman Lane to Lodi Avenue as a through street as shown
on Exhibit B. Currently, many of the cross streets
intersecting Crescent Avenue are controlled by stop signs.
The posted speed limit of this segment is 35 miles per hour
with a 25 mile per hour school speed zone adjacent to
Nichols School.
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION AMENDMENT -
EAST SIDE OF PACIFIC AVENUE
FROM OAK STREET TO 556 FEET SOUTH
OF OAK STREET, PARKING MODIFICATION
RESOLUTION NO. 90-172
CC -48(k) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 90-172 amending the
CC -300 Traffic Resolution 87-163 to approve the modification of
the restricted parking hours on the east side of Pacific
Avenue from Oak Street to 556 feet south of Oak Street to
6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., school days only.
The Public Works Department has received a letter from the
School District requesting the modification of the hours
that parking is restricted on the east side of Pacific
Avenue from Oak Street to 556 feet south of Oak Street.
They have requested that the existing restricted hours of
9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., school
days only, except with Zone C permit be changed to 6:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., school days only. Staff does not feel
this change will create a problem with the residential
parking program because it affects the side yard of only
one residence. The remaining affected area is all along
the rear frontage of the Zion Reformed Church property.
The School District requested these modifications to reduce
congestion and increase safety in front of the school. The
District's objective is to "clean up" the front of the
school by eliminating student parking at the portions of
the school frontage where a problem exists. These problems
include vehicle congestion, loitering, and pedestrian
activity crossing Pacific Avenue. They have indicated that
there is more than enough parking available in the student
lot to handle these displaced vehicles.
O
ib4
Continued November 7, 1990
Staff has reviewed and approved the other modifications
requested by the School District and feels that changing
the restricted parking hours, as indicated, will reduce
congestion and increase pedestrian safety in front of the
school as long as enforcement can be provided. For these
reasons, staff recommended the approval of this
modification.

COMMENTS BY CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS The following comments were received under the "Comments by
City Council Members" segment of the agenda:
CONCERN EXPRESSED REGARDING
RESPONSE TO CITIZEN'S ANXIETY
REGARDING TRAFFIC ON TURNER ROAD
IN THE AREA OF LAKEWOOD SCHOOL
CC -16 Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman expressed his concern regarding
the response that was sent by the Public Works Department
to a crossing guard who had reported her concerns regarding
traffic on Turner Road in the area of Lakewood School.
The City Manager was asked to look into ways the City might
better respond and assist citizens in complaints of this
nature.
COMMENTS REGARDING
NOVEMBER 6, 1990 MUNICIPAL
ELECTION
Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman spoke about the November 6, 1990
election stating that the City Council Members he has
worked with the last six years have been outstanding.
Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman again reiterated his feeling
that the citizens of Lodi should have regular reports on
what is happening in .this community and feels the City
should look into adopting some type of communication plan.
Council Member Olson congratulated candidates Phil
Pennino and Jack Sieglock on their victory and urged
the community to support them. She also urged the women of
this community to seek public office.
Mayor Snider spoke about the illegal flyer that was
circulated in our community just prior to the election and
that he felt it was a disservice to all nine candidates.
Mayor Snider then presented the following report of facts
on the various charges that had been alleged.
Charge - Lodi has only five police officers on patrol at
any given time.
19
165
Continued November 7, 1990
Fact - From 12:00 noon to 3:00 a.m. (15 hours, and the
busiest time) Lodi has 8 officers assigned, plus
a sgt. and It. and 10 are assigned between 10:00
p.m. and 3:00 a.m. The only time 5 are assigned
is during the normally slow period of 3:00 a.m.
to 12:00 noon.
Charge - Lodi has reduced the police budget when compared
to total spending.
Fact - The Police Department budget is 28.3% of the
General Fund, the highest percentage it has been
in the last ten years.
Fact - The Police Department budget has been increased
61% in the last 5 years, the highest percentage
increase of all operating departments.
Fact - The number of police officers per 1,000
population is the highest it has been in the
last 7 years, and the total number of police
officers and support personnel is the highest it
has been in the last 15 years.
Charge - Lodi is seeing the problems of crime and drugs
threaten our way of life.
Fact - The increase in the Lodi crime rate during the
last 8 years is actually lower than it was in
the previous 8 years. I encourage you to review
the numbers with the Chief of Police. In the
past year, the crime rate is down by 6%.
Charge - The Council is reducing police protection.
Fact - Documented numbers prove this is a false charge.
Charge - The Council has refused to live by the
provisions of Measure A and instead adopted its
own growth plan allowing Lodi to grow by 26,000
new residents over the next 17 years.
Fact - The City's growth management plan is part of the
City 's new General Plan which is in the process
of being adopted. It provides for a 2% growth
limit. This percentage increase was the result
of a recommendation by a citizen task force
appointed by the City Council to develop a
growth management plan. The task force was
comprised of an equal number of citizens in
favor of and opposed to Measure A. This will
result in an additional 19,450 residents in the
next 17 years, not 26,000, an error in the
charge of 34%.
20
1bb
Continued November 7, 1990
Charge - Measure A would have allowed just 3,000 new
residents by the year 2007.
Fact - There would have been no way to determine the
growth rate of the City because each annexation
would have had to have been approved by the
voters.
Charge - The Council allowed developers to convert
property previously dedicated to single family
homes to apartments, thereby putting a strain on
the sewer system.
Fact - The conversion from some single-family uses to
apartments was consistent with the zoning
ordinance adopted in 1968. It was this City
Council that put a stop to these conversions
by putting in place a moratorium prohibiting
such action. This Council took that action 5
years ago. This Council listened and down -zoned
the area thereby increasing the life of both the
sewer and water systems.
Charge - The State had to step in and order the City
Council to update and renovate the sewer system.
Fact - The State has never issued such an order.
State
law requires that when the sewer plant reaches
75% capacity, the City must notify the State and
move ahead with expansion. This we have done in
accordance with State law.
Further, the Council adopted 2-1/2 years ago a
moratorium on sanitary sewer connections for
areas not in the City limits at that time.
This
was done to ensure that those parcels within the
City limits would have sanitary sewer capacity.
Charge - In order to pay for the improvements, the
Council has dramatically raised sewer fees and
hook-up charges.
Fact - Part of the sewer fee increase is to pay for the
improvements. The remainder of the sewer fee
hike and the increased hook-up fees are to
provide, on a pay-as-you-go basis, the funding
for the next expansion 10-12 years from now.
That's the cheapest financial approach. That
represents good planning.
Charge - The City is operating under a special waiver
from the State Department of Health which allows
21
Continued November 7, 1990
167
it to use City wells that exceed the maximum
contamination levels for DBCP.
Fact - The new State requirements regarding DBCP levels
went into effect in July 1989. All cities
experiencing DBCP have been given the same
direction from the State. This has been granted
to allow time to install new filtration systems,
and because the State's Department of Health
Services acknowledges there are no short-term
health concerns.
Charge - The Council has been forced to rush to drill new
wells.
Fact - New water wells are being developed in
accordance with a regular schedule set forth in
the City's Capital Improvement Program. That
schedule is in no way being altered or rushed.
Charge - Lodi residents have no choice but to consume
contaminated water.
Fact - Lodi's water is safe to drink. The State
Department of Heat Services agrees with this
statement. There are far less cancer-causing
elements in one-half gallon of Lodi water than
there are in:
A peanut butter sandwich
A raw mushroom
A 12 -ounce can of soda
Charge - A comparison of the budgets of four Central
Valley Cities presents the cost of the budget
per person is:
Sacramento - $ 976
Stockton - 749
Modesto - 596
Lodi - 1,139
Fact - The other three cities do not have municipal
electrical systems. The fact that Lodi has a
municipal electrical system is of tremendous
benefit to our citizens and our commercial and
industrial communities. Lodi residents
currently pay for electrical service about 35%
less than they would pay if served by PG&E.
When you subtract the Electric system budget
from the total, Lodi's cost per person is $511,
the lowest of the other three cities listed.
22
> Continued November 7, 1990
Charge - Should the City have a certified and verified
audit of its budget?
Fact - The City of Lodi has, annually for decades,
always had an audit of its fiscal condition
performed by an independent auditing firm. In
addition, federal law requires cities to perform
an annual audit because federal funds are part
of the City's annual expenditures.
Charge - The White Slough Sewer Plant expansion was
awarded this year to an "out of state firm".
Fact - The Council awards bids to the "lowest
responsible bidder". To do so is to realize the
completion of a project for the taxpayer at the
lowest possible cost. This policy is clearly in
the best interest of the tax paying citizen.
Council Member Reid spoke about the large number of
political signs that had been posted on power poles, public
rights-of-way, etc. during this past election. Council
Member Reid indicated he would like to have the City
Attorney draft a new ordinance regarding the placement of
such signs in order to remedy the situation.
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:

I would like to enlist the support of the City of Lodi in
our efforts to attract a University of California campus to
the greater Modesto area. Both the Mape's Ranch site on
Highway 132, ten miles west of Modesto, and the Don Pedro
site, 30 miles east of Modesto, remain under consideration
as possible locations for the proposed tenth U.C. campus.
We feel that strong regional support will enhance our
chances of obtaining this campus. A sample resolution is

l Continued November 7, 1990
the area regarding the fence on the east side of Ham Lane
from Cardinal Street south:
The fence along the east side of Ham Lane from Cardinal
Street south approximately 1150 feet is in terrible
disrepair. The property owners, whose homes all face
Sunset Drive, are interested in replacing this fence and
are asking that the City participate in this replacement
for several reasons.
This fence is directly across the street from Kofu Park,
named after our sister city and shown to visiting
dignitaries. If the fence is replaced by individual
property owners, it will probably not be uniform and would
be aesthetically unpleasing to people using the park.
Also, the homeowners are proposing a high masonry fence to
help alleviate the noise from the increased traffic along
Ham Lane.
The homeowners on the petition, which is on file in the
City Clerk's office, would like to see the City replace
this fence and are willing to share in the cost.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Hinchman, Olson second, the
matter was referred to staff.

REGULAR CALENDAR
FINAL ACCOUNTING OF THE
WILLIAM G. HOLZ SENIOR
COMPLEX, 125 SOUTH HUTCHINS
STREET, SUITE B, PROJECT
CC -6 City Manager Peterson advised the City Council that the Old
CC -27(e) Lodi Union High School Site Foundation is anxious to bring
the William G. Holz Senior Complex project to a close from
the standpoint of the accounting for expenses. The total
expenditure and revenue recap on this project is:
Expenses $3,144,264.13
Revenue (Holz Estate) 2,882,877.02
Deficit 261,387.11
The Foundation underwrote the anticipated deficit and all
of the bills have been paid. Foundation representatives
met with the City Manager earlier this week for the purpose
of negotiating a final settlement. It was agreed that a
portion of the shortfall should be absorbed by the City,
and thus the City would not receive the total amount of
$261,387.11. This recommended agreement represents no
actual expenditure on the part of the City, but does result
in less revenue being received from the Foundation.
The amount to be absorbed by the City is in three
categories. They are:
Inspector Fees $ 46,665.12
Transfer of Certain
Miscellaneous Charges 4,957.80
Community Development
Block Grant Funding 48,400.00
Total $100,022.92
A brief description of these categories follows:
Inspector Fees - At the time the project bid award was
made, the City Council agreed that it would be an
appropriate City participation for the City to absorb the
expense of the on-site inspector retained to monitor the
project.
Transfer of Certain Miscellaneous Charges - The Foundation
has reached an agreement with the Finance Department that a
certain amount of minimal charges were incorrectly
allocated to this project. The costs have been reallocated
to other accounts which are the City's responsibility.
Community Development Block Grant Funding - At the time the
project was bid, it was agreed that a certain portion of
the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Continued November 7, 1990
allocation could be used on the project for the
installation of cabinets throughout the project. An
unusually high turn -over rate in that position in the
Community Development Department responsible for the
administration of the CDBG funds (three different CDBG
administrators in a less than two-year period) resulted in
a breakdown in record keeping for Federal Government
monitoring purposes. Staff attempted to reconstruct the
records, but the Federal Government would not accept the
figures. This resulted in the CDBG monies not being
available for the Holz project. Thus it is recommended
that the City absorb this cost. These monies are still
available for the continued improvement of the Senior
Complex, so the project will benefit from some CDBG
funding, but not for the purpose originally envisioned.
Mr. Dennis Bennett, Chairman of the Old Lodi High School
Site Foundation addressed the City Council regarding the
matter and responded to questions as were posed by members
of the Council. Mr. Bennett further advised that if the
City Council is in agreement with this settlement, a
Foundation representative will be in attendance at the next
regularly scheduled Council meeting to present the City
with a check in the amount of $161,364.19, which when
coupled with the City's participation, will close this
phase of this project.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Olson second, the City
Council approved the participation of the City of Lodi in
the final costs incurred in the completion of the William
G. Holz Senior Complex project in the amount of
$100,022.92.
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
NORTH COUNTY SANITARY LANDFILL
AS THE REPLACEMENT SITE FOR THE
HARNEY LANE SANITARY LANDFILL
RESOLUTION NO. 90-173
CC -7(b) City Manager Peterson
CC -54 had been received from
CC -300 Works, County of San
Sanitary Landfill:
presented the following letter which
Henry M. Hirata, Director of Public
Joaquin regarding the North County
The County's Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill is reaching its
capacity and must be closed in 1991. The 1986 County Solid
Waste Management Plan, which was approved by your City
Council on June 25, 1986, recommended the procurement and
development of a replacement site for the Harney Lane
Sanitary Landfill (HLSL). The replacement site was to be
located near the existing HLSL.
29
Continued November 7, 1990
Consistent with that recommendation, the County of San
Joaquin, in 1987, purchased a 320 acre parcel as a
replacement site for the HLS. This site is located on
Harney Lane, 1 1/2 miles east of the HLSL. Presently, the
County is in the process of securing the necessary State
operating permits for the landfill. This landfill is
referred to as the North County Sanitary Landfill (NCSL),
and is expected to be in operation by September 1, 1991.
Last month, Governor Deukmejian signed into law Assembly
Bill 2296. Basically, the Bill facilitates the permitting
of new disposal sites until each county in California has a
State approved integrated waste management plan.
Since San Joaquin County does not have an approved
integrated waste management plan at this time, the NCSL
project is subject to the provisions of AB 2296. One of
the provisions requires that the facility be approved by
the County and a majority of the cities within the county
representing a majority of the population of the
incorporated areas.
Accordingly, we respectfully request that your City Council
consider adopting a resolution, similar to the one
attached, declaring its approval of the NCSL. If adopted
by your City Council, please forward a certified copy of
the resolution to us.
We are currently working with staff from the California
Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to place the
permitting of the NCSL on the CIWMB's November 1990
agenda. Therefore, we request that, if possible, your City
Council consider this matter at its earliest convenience.
Preferably, by November 15, 1990.
If you have any questions, please contact Tom Horton, Solid
Waste Manager, at 468-3066.
