RESOLUTION ADOPTED
WITHDRAWING FROM
THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA'S
STANDARDS AND
TRAINING FOR
CORRECTIONS (STC)
RES. NO. 89-49
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 89-49, "A
Resolution of the Lodi City Council Withdrawing From the
CC -6
State of California's Standards and Training For
CC -7(f)
Corrections (STC) Program and Returning Grant Monies
CC -152
Received Thereunder."
CC -181
CC -300
The City Council was advised that last year the City
Council approved funding from STC for required training of
jailers. The City is required to send jailers to a 40 -hour
block of training to qualify as jailers. STC does not
provide this 40 -hour block as a stand-alone unit, but
includes it as part of a 120 -hour block of instruction.
This would require the Police Department to send each
dispatcher away for the 120 -hour course. The other 80
hours of training consists of CPR, first aid, etc.,
subjects which have been taught in-house. With the
never-ending shortage of dispatchers, we have not been able
to schedule dispatchers to attend the 120 -hour course.
Captain Lake has located a source of training through the
Sacramento Sheriff's Office for the required 40 hours of
training. This training is not funded, however, the cost
would be minimal (mileage if a City car is not available
and lunches for five days). Even though the training is
not funded, it is more cost-effective for the City, as STC
does not pay for salary during the training.
It was recommended that we withdraw from STC training,
returning the funding we have received and not been able to
use.

SECTION 2.04.070
THE LODI MUNICIPAL
CODE AMENDED AS IT
RELATES TO THE DATE
OF THE REORGANIZATION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL
ORD. NO. 1455
INTRODUCED The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1455 amending
Lodi Municipal Code Section 2.04.070 providing for election
CC -6 of the mayor and mayor pro tempore. The City Council was
CC -143 reminded that in October 1988, it acted to consolidate
CC -149 municipal elections with the statewide general elections
for purposes of convenience and cost savings. The
consolidation ordinance becomes effective in 1990 and
extends the terms of those Council members now in office,
until the general election held in November 1990.
Since Council elections will no longer be held in April, it
is now necessary to modify Section 2.04.070 of the Lodi
Municipal Code concerning procedures for the election by
the Council of a mayor and mayor pro tempore. The proposed
ordinance modifies the present section by specifying that
the election of the mayor in years in which a general
election is held shall be at the first regular meeting
following the canvass of votes done in conjunction with the
general election. In odd numbered years when no statewide
general election is held, the mayor would be elected by the
Council at the first regular meeting in November.
With these suggested amendments, the Municipal Code would
then be consistent with Ordinance No. 1438.
LODI MUNICIPAL CODE
AMENDED AS IT RELATES
TO THE CONDUCT OF
COUNCIL MEETINGS
ORD. NO. 1456 The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1456 entitled,
INTRODUCED "An Ordinance Of The Lodi City Council Modifying Chapter 2
Of The Lodi Municipal Code As It Relates To The Conduct Of
CC -6 Council Meetings".
CC -143
CC -149 City Attorney McNatt reported that as the Council is aware,
the refurbishing of the Carnegie Forum is nearing
completion and we will soon be moving the Council meetings
into that building. It may therefore be an opportune time
to amend Chapter 2 of the Municipal Code as it concerns the
conduct of City Council meetings.
Chapter 2 of the Code now specifies that regular meetings
shall be held "in the Council Chambers, City Hall, Lodi
and that the informal (shirtsleeve) session shall be
held "... in the Council Chambers of the City". These
sections should be modified to reflect the new meeting
place and to provide more flexibility for the Council
should it find it appropriate to meet at some alternate
location.
In addition, as a "housekeeping" matter, Section 2.04.180
was modified to allow television personnel within the rail
at Council meetings.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
THE CITY CLERK OR
DESIGNATED DEPUTY
CITY CLERK TO ACCEPT
DEEDS ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY OF LODI
ADOPTED
RES. NO. 89-51 The City Council adopted Resolution 89-51 rescinding
Resolution No. 3847 and authorizing the City Clerk or
CC -6 designated Deputy City Clerk to accept deeds and grants on
CC -27(a) behalf of the City.
CC -300
City Attorney McNatt advised the City Council that
Resolution No. 3847, adopted in 1973, authorized City Clerk
Alice Reimche to accept deeds on behalf of the City.
Because of the fashion in which the Resolution was drafted,
no other person was authorized to sign the acceptance of
such deeds, and this has created some inconvenience.
It is noted that Government Code §27281, specifying the
language of acceptance which must appear on deeds to the
City, has been modified at least twice since Resolution No.
3847 was adopted. The proposed amended resolution simply
designates "the City Clerk or authorized Deputy City Clerk"
to sign the acceptance of such deeds. It also rescinds
Resolution No. 3847.
The language appearing on the deeds should be modified to
reflect that which now exists in the statute, and which
must appear in substantially the following form:
This is to certify that the interest in real property
conveyed by the deed or grant dated from
to the City of Lodi, a municipal corporation,
Ts hereby accepted by order of the undersigned officer on
behalf of the City Council of Lodi pursuant to authority
conferred by Resolution No. adopted by the City
Council on , and the grantee consents to the
recordation thereto —by its duly authorized officer.
Dated:
City Clerk of the City of Lo i
These proposed modifications will satisfy statutory
requirements and allow a Deputy City Clerk to accept
conveyances of real property where the City Clerk may be
temporarily unavailable.

20 - 30 minutes for the purpose of taking on some water and
to allow a delegation of Sacramento city and county
officials and other dignitaries from that area to board the
train for the last leg of the journey from Los Angeles to
Sacramento. The train's arrival in Sacramento at the
California State Railroad Museum is timed to coincide with
that city's observance of its Sesquicentennial. Mayor
Snider invited the community to come see the train and
further advised that Pine Street and Elm Street will be
closed during the time the train stops in Lodi.

The City Council was advised that early in 1988, Black &
Veatch Engineers (B&V) prepared a report evaluating the
City's current staffing requirements and future staffing
requirements for the completion of the WSWPCF expansion
project.
After a thorough evaluation of the current condition of our
facilities (less electrical system), a review of the
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) recommended
staffing requirements, and B&V's experience with treatment
facilities around the United States, B&V submitted
a mem slated May 10, 1988.
A separate in-depth evaluation by B&V of the WSWPCF
electrical and instrumentation systems has resulted in the
recommendation in a letter dated November 23, 1988.
The following describes the needs and recommendations in
the areas of Facility Maintenance, Laboratory Services,
Facility Operation, and Clerical.
FACILITY MAINTENANCE
Plant & Equipment Mechanic and Maintenance Worker - B&V,
in its May 10, 1988 memoran um, indicated that t e existing
plant maintenance staff was deficient by one Maintenance
Worker and recommended that the Maintenance Worker position
be added immediately. B&V also recommended that an
additional Plant & Equipment Mechanic be added at the time
that the plant expansion is completed.
We feel strongly that it is in the City's best interest to
hire the Plant & Equipment Mechanic now and defer the
Maintenance Worker position until January of 1991. It is
felt that the Plant & Equipment Mechanic should be on board
during all plant construction and that if the position is
filled now, the person filling the position can be trained
simultaneously with the existing Plant & Equipment Mechanic
who just filled a current vacancy. There is presently a
hiring eligibility list for Plant & Equipment Mechanic, so
this position could be filled immediately.
It is recommended that the upgrade of a Plant & Equipment
Mechanic to a Senior Plant & Equipment Mechanic proposed by
B&V be re-evaluated after the plant becomes operational and
all preventive maintenance programs are implemented. If
there is a need for this type of an upgrade, it will be
brought back to the City Council during the latter part of
1991.
Electrician - B&V's letter of November 23, 1988 describes
the deficiencies of our past electrical and instrumentation
maintenance procedures.
-10-
367
Continued May 3, 1989
Instrumentation repair and maintenance was previously
contracted for with private instrumentation contractors.
The cost to the City for this work ranged from $8,000 to
$15,000 per year. We feel that the City has not gotten
their money's worth under these prior contracts and often
we experienced a slow response time to critical
emergencies. This could have caused the City to violate
our Federal and State NPDES permit, thereby subjecting the
City to a potential $6,000 per day fine.
The electrical repair is currently provided by the City's
Electric Utility Department. Electrical repairs in
emergencies have always been done in a timely manner;
however, the Electric Utility Department, due to other
commitments and priorities, has not been able to provide
preventive maintenance to our plant's electrical system.
The lack of a preventive maintenance program is, in part,
responsible for a good portion of the $1M worth of
electrical work required as part of the plant expansion.
Presently, the Electric Utility Department has a staff of
two Electricians, one Electrical Technician and one Senior
Electrical Technician (Supervisor). The Public Works
Department is allocated 1.3 electrician man-years for
maintenance and repair plus additional time for capital
work. This maintenance and repair includes work on water
wells and related water system equipment, wastewater and
storm pumping stations, traffic signals, cathodic
protection systems, electrical equipment on City buildings,
together with repair work at the existing WSWPCF. B&V, in
its letter of November 23, 1988, recommends that an
Electrician be stationed at the WSWPCF full time. This
concept was discussed with the Electric Utility
Department. The Electric Utility Department agreed that
there would be a full man-year's worth of electrical work
at the expanded plant if an appropriate preventive
maintenance program was. to be implemented. It was
determined that with an additional Electrician, the
Electric Utility Department would reorganize their
Electrical System Division. to provide two Technicians that
specialize in substation, SCADA, and general electric
utility functions and two Electricians that would
specialize in the Public Works area. Both groups of
technical staff would be supervised by the Senior
Electrical Technician. In addition, the Technicians would
be cross -trained to provide emergency back-up assistance on
Public Works facilities.
It is recommended that the Electrician be hired in August
1989. This would allow the new Electrician to also become
acquainted with the existing equipment and both Public
Works. Electricians would be present to inspect and evaluate
the contractor's electrical installations which will
ultimately be maintained and repaired by them.
Upon the completion of the City's upcoming expansion of
WSWPCF, the City will have nearly a $30M investment that we
cannot neglect and we must provide a good preventive
maintenance program.
LABORATORY SERVICES
Water/Wastewater Inspector - 8&V's memo of May 10, 1988
states that our current staff of four in the WSWPCF
laboratory should be adequate until the summer of 1990, at
which time a second Water/Wastewater Inspector will be
required.
—11—
SID 6S,
Continued May 3, 1989
In June of 1988, the City's industrial pretreatment program
underwent an audit by the EPA and the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB). The audit findings
(received in February of 1989) pointed out many
inadequacies in our present program, which were mainly due
to lack of staff time. This is due in part to the numerous
promulgated regulations since our initial program was
established several years ago. The EPA and the CRWQCB
audit findings listed as one of the required actions, "The
City must increase the staff time allowed to properly
implement the pretreatment program."
FACILITY OPERATION
Wastewater Plant -Operator I - In B&V's memo of May 10,
1988, it is recommended tat three additional Wastewater
Plant Operators be added to the present staff. The
recommendation is that one be added mid -year 1989 and the
other two in spring/summer 1990. The Public Works
Department feels that one Operator should be brought on
board in April 1990 in order to become familiar with the
plant operation as the final construction is being
completed. It is recommended that the other two Operator
positions recommended by B&V be re-evaluated once the plant
is operational and running smoothly. There are a number of
new systems being installed that will simplify the plant
operation, however, there are also a number of new
facilities like the co -generation facility where staff does
not know the operational requirements. For the time being,
our staff feels they should be able to operate the expanded
plant with less Operators than recommended. However, once
the plant is on-line and we know the total operational
requirements, it may be necessary to bring back to the City
Council a request for additional Operators.
Chief Operator - In B&V's memo of May 10, 1988, a
position Chief Operator is recommended. This is not a
new position. This position upgrade was previously
approved by the City Council in the 1988/89 Operating
Budget. Recruitment for this position is scheduled and
will commence in the near future.
CLERICAL
Administrative Clerk II (Part -Time) - In B&V's memo of
May 10, 1988, it is recommended that a full-time clerical
position be added with the plant expansion. The Public
Works Department recommends that this position be approved
as a part-time position. It is recommended that this
position be filled at the time the plant becomes
operational (January 1991) and that this position initially
be funded for six man -months.
An organization chart depicting the existing staffing and
the proposed additional staffing was presented for
Council's review. A lengthy discussion followed with
questions regarding the matter being directed to staff.
On motion of Council Member Olson, Snider second, the City
Council, by the following vote, adopted Resolution No.
89-52 approving the addition of a Plant and Equipment
Mechanic for the White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility Expansion with a hiring date of May 1989.

and the proposed manpower requirements. It was suggested
that this meeting be held at the site so that the City
Council could tour the facility.

The City Council was advised that the gutter the at
Blakely Pool is chipped and must be replaced before the

pool is opened to the public on June 10 as required by the
CC -14(a)
Local Health District. The City recently went to bid on

engaged the pool consultant, August E. Waegemann, who

and City staff contacted bidders before, during and after
the bidding. Various reasons for not bidding included the

small size of the job, difficulty in working with the
existing old pool tile and new plaster, bonding problems,
tile availability, etc.
Mr. Waegemann has been working with two contractors to
obtain a price and commitment to do the job before the June
1 deadline. Contractors have been very slow in providing
estimates.
Staff recommended that the City Manager be authorized to
award the contract in order to have the job done by June 10.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 89-54 authorizing the City
Manager to award a contract for the Blakely Park Pool Tile

$15,000 and appropriating an additional $7,000 from the
Capital Outlay Reserve for the project.
