DESTRUCTION OF
CERTAIN RECORDS
RETAINED BY CITY
CLERK APPROVED
RES. NO. 88-25 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-25 approving
destruction of certain records in the City Clerk's Office
CC -6 pursuant to Section 34090 of the Government Code of the
State of California.
AWARD INSTALLATION/
UPGRADE OF KILLELEA
SUBSTATION FENCE
RES. NO. 88-26 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-26 awarding the
1
61Y
Continued March 2, 1988
bid for the installation/upgrade of Killelea Substation
CC -12(c) Fence to the low bidder, Economy Fence Co., Stockton, CA,
in the amount of $14,057.30.
Council was reminded that the present security system at
the Killelea Substation (Cherokee Lane and Locust Street)
has been repeatedly breached of late and considerable
upgrade of this system is required. Unauthorized entry has
included intrusions under and over the chain-link fence
surrounding the substation; recently the padlock was cut
and removed leaving the gate open to the general public.
Articles have been stolen from the site and various toys
have been found on site. This particular substation is the
only one which has experienced such intrusions.
While no significant damage has been done to date, the
presence of unauthorized persons in an ultra -hazardous area
is a serious matter. The exposure to high-voltage
equipment should be limited to only those trained in
electrical. safety. Furthermore, that substation represents
the direct link between Lodi and its power supply. Any
accident involving the main power bus at that substation
affects the entire city.
Although the fence, as it stands today, meets the minimum
legal height requirements, it is recommended that the fence
be reconstructed based on analysis of existing foundations
and fence supports to prohibit intrusion under and over the
fence. The recommended fence configuration is 10 feet
material with slats and 1 foot barbed wire interlaced with
razor ribbon on top. In addition, all gates and doors have
been equipped with alarms and an infrared perimeter beam
scanning system installed. Any entry will be detected by
either a door/gate entry sensor and/or by crossing the
infrared beams.
Funding for this project is available in the Electric
Utility Outlay Budget.
This project is expected to be completed within 6 weeks.
AWARD BID FOR
CUSHMAN SCOOTERS
FOR THE PARKS AND
RECREATION DEPARTMENT
RES. NO. 88-27 Council was reminded that at the Council meeting of January
20, 1988, Council approved specifications for four Cushman
CC -12(d) Scooters and authorized the obtaining of bids. The
following bids were received:
BIDDER AMOUNT
Duke Equipment company $36,529.38
West Star Distributors $40,726.26
Council adopted Resolution No. 88-27 awarding the bid for
four Cushman Vehicles and accessories for a 100 gallon
sprayer to Duke Equipment Company in the amount of
534,327.05 ($2,202.33 was deducted from the bid which
covered a Boom Sprayer). Further, Council approved a
Special Allocation in the amount of $3,527.05 charged
against the 12 Equipment Fund to cover this purchase.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR
PURCHASE OF WATTHOUR
METERS APPROVED The City Council approved the specifications for the
purchase of 576 watthour meters and authorized
CC -12.1(b) advertisement for bids thereon. The bid opening date has
been set for March 22, 1988.
Continued March 2, 1988
Council was reminded that on or about February 8, 1988, the
City of Lodi was forwarded a notice of cancellation of
liability insurance effective March 7, 1988 for American
Classic Limousine Service. On February 9, 1988, the City
Attorney wrote to the firm advising that under the terms
and conditions of their permit/agreement, they must
maintain the prescribed insurance requirements to continue
with their vehicle for hire operation, and that if the firm
did not supply the required insurance, that their permit
would be revoked.
Having received no response from the firm, the City
Attorney's office called Larry Gigletto of that firm on
February 16, 1988, and Mr. Gigletto indicated that their
firm was going out of the vehicle for hire business, and
that was the reason they had cancelled their liability
insurance, and that they no longer wished to continue on
with their vehicle for hire permit/agreement with the City
of Lodi.

of $759,100. The contract has been completed in
substantial conformance with the plans and specifications
approved by the City Council.
The contract completion date, including approved
extensions, was August 4, 1987 and the City took occupancy
on August 21, 1987. Seventeen days of liquidated damages
are being assessed. Total completion of all "punch list"
items took place the week of February 22, 1988. The final
contract price was $763,502.12. The difference between the
contract amount and the final contract price is mainly due
to differences caused by unknown conditions in the existing
building.
DRIVEWAY AT 1721
SOUTH CHEROKEE LANE
APPROVED
RES. NO. 88-29
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-29 granting a
35 -foot driveway at 1721 South Cherokee Lane.
CC -45(b)
Council was informed that when the Division of Highways
relinquished Cherokee Lane to the City of Lodi, they also
gave to the City certain access rights in the area south of
Vine Street. In order to have a legal access, it is
necessary for property owners to receive approval from the
City Council to add new driveways.
Staff has reviewed the request for a new driveway at 1721
South Cherokee Lane to provide access to this parcel and
feels the request is reasonable.

construction of a permanent facility for the Lodi Boys' and
Girls' Club in the southeast corner of Blakely Park. At
that time the Council directed staff to prepare the
appropriate agreement. This agreement has been reviewed in
depth by staff and Lodi Boys' and Girls' Club
representatives and all concurred that the matter was ready
for Council action.
APPLICATION FOR THE
THIRD YEAR OF FUNDING
FOR THE COMMUNITY
CRIME RESISTANCE
PROGRAM GRANT THROUGH
THE OFFICE OF CRIMINAL
JUSTICE PLANNING
APPROVED
RES. N0. 88-31 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-31 approving
application for the third year of funding for the Community
CC -7(f) Crime Resistance Program Grant through the Office of
CC -175 Criminal Justice Planning.
The City Council was informed that the Lodi Police
Department has been funded for two years under the Crime
Resistance Program beginning in July of 1986. The program
has enabled the Police Department to hire two Community
Service Officers for its Crime Prevention Unit. They have
developed Neighborhood Watch program throughout the City
and worked extensively in the schools especially with
student safety patrol.
Continued funding will allow the Police Department to
expand its crime prevention function with new areas
targeted for Neighborhood Watch and activities specifically
for seniors.
PUBLIC HEARING SET
TO CONSIDER
IMPLEMENTATION OF
A MORATORIUM ON
PROCESSING DEVELOPMENT
PROPOSALS OF PROPERTIES
CURRENTLY OUTSIDE
THE CITY LIMITS The City Council set a public hearing on April 6, 1988 to
consider the implementation of a moratorium on future
CC -6 annexations. This moratorium would continue until the
CC -14[a) White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility expansion
CC -24(b) project is completed.
CC -44
Continued March 2, 1988
CC -46 The City Council was reminded that the White Slough Water
CC -51(a) Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) is presently receiving
approximately 6.0 million gallons per day (MGD). The
current design capacity of WSWPCF is 5.8 MGD. In October
of 1987, the City Council awarded a contract for interim
aeration improvements at WSWPCF. It is anticipated that
these interim improvements will be completed in March of
1988 and will provide WSWPCF with a new capacity of 6.2 MGD.
A Capacity Evaluation of the White Slough Water Pollution
Control Facility was presented for Council review. This
evaluation shows that with the development of the existing
residential lots and acreage already within the City
limits, the WSWPCF with its interim improvements will again
be at capacity prior to January 1990. The City's proposed
plant expansion project which will increase the capacity
from 6.2 MGD to 8.5 MGD is not scheduled to be completed
until January of 1991.
It was therefore recommended that the City of Lodi not
process any new annexation proposals until domestic sewer
capacity is available for projects currently lying outside

PUBLIC HEARING
Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
the City Clerk, Mayor Olson called for the Public
Hearing to consider the Planning Commission's
recommendation that the City establish a Growth Management
Plan with a two percent growth rate along the lines
recommended by the Mayor's Task Force on Measure A and
whether or not to place the matter before the electorate at
the June 7, 1988 General Election as an advisory measure.

A GROWTH MANAGEMENT
PLAN WITH A TWO
PERCENT GROWTH RATE The Planning Commission at its meeting of February 8, 1988

Continued March 2, 1988
CC -46 In a related matter, the majority of the Planning
CC -53(a) Commission felt that placing this matter on the June 7,
1988 General Election as an advisory measure was strictly a
City Council decision and not a planning matter. In the
legal notice for this Public Hearing, the City staff
indicated that the Council would consider placing this item
before the electorate.
Council was reminded that in April, 1986, then Mayor David
Hinchman convened a task force comprised of 10 citizens who
represented a wide spectrum of viewpoints on Measure "A",
the Greenbelt Initiative. The charge to the Task Force was:
"To study and recommend to the Lodi City Council,
unanimously if possible, a solution or solutions that would
guide and control growth with the intent to preserve and
enhance the aesthetic and economic qualities of the City of
Lodi."
To advise the task force in its work the City retained the
services of the planning firm of Jones & Stokes Associates
of Sacramento. The task force has met monthly between May
1986 and July 1987 and, with advice from Jones & Stokes
Associates, developed the growth management systems
contained in the Element.
The Task Force's final recommendations were presented for
Council's review. It should be emphasized that the growth
limitation is aimed at standard single-family and
multiple -family development with senior citizens housing
projects specifically exempted. Commercial and industrial
projects do not fall within the parameters of the Growth
Management Plan.
The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson and
Community Development Director Schroeder who responded to
questions regarding the matter as were posed by the Council.
Speaking in favor of the Planning Commission's
recommendation were:
a) Deanna Enright, Vice President of the Lodi District
Chamber of Commerce
b) Beryl Georguson, 2223 Cochran Road, Lodi
Speaking against the Planning Commission's recommendation
were the following persons:
a) Walter Pruss, 2421 Diablo Court, Lodi, indicated that
it is his opinion that a 1% growth rate is more
realistic and proper. (A full copy of Mr. Pruss's
comments are on file in the office of the City Clerk).
b) Jeanne Zolezzi, Attorney -at -Law, Neumiller and
Beardslee, representing the LIFE Committee indicating
that a 2% growth rate is unrealistic and that such a
measure would be illegal.
c) Ben Schaffer, 600 Connie Street, Lodi, who indicated
that he would prefer not to see a 2% limit and feels
the City should wait for the court decision.
Also speaking against the Planning Commissions
recommendation regarding the matter were:
a) Dennis Bennett, 3015 Rosewood Drive, Lodi
b) Ken Boyd, 122 North Church Street, Lodi
c) Susan Hitchcock -Akin, 141 South Avena
7
Continued March 2, 1988
Mrs. Janet Pruss, 2421 Diablo Drive, Lodi, also spoke
indicating that perhaps it would be more reasonable to
accommodate the wishes of Lodi voters to limit growth and
vote for a 1% rate. (A full copy of Mrs. Pruss's comments
are on file in the office of the City Clerk).
There being no other persons wishing to speak on the
matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
Following discussion, Council Member Hinchman moved to
support the 2% growth recommendation of the Measure A Task
Force. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore
Snider, but failed to pass by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman and Snider
Noes: Council Members - Pinkerton, Reid and Olson
Absent: Council Members - None
Following additional discussion, Council Member Reid moved
to accept the recommendation of the Measure A Task Force:
determining, however, that the recommended 2% growth rate
would not be binding but would be considered in the Growth
Management Element of the proposed General Plan Update.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Hinchman and
carried by a unanimous vote of the Council.
Further, on motion of Council Member Reid, Pinkerton
second, Council voted not to place the matter on the June
7, 1988 General Election ballot as an advisory measure.

AGREEMENT FOR
Continued March 2, 1988
REDESIGN OF
C -BASIN City Attorney Stein reported that it was his understanding
that the City Council had concerns regarding the C -Basin
CC -27(a) Agreement when it was discussed at the City Council meeting
CC -27(c) of February 17, 1988. This concern was specifically
CC -161 regarding the increased cost of land acquisition and the
increased cost of construction. Mr. Stein indicated that
he understood that the Council was requesting that Mr.
Geweke agree to pay any of these increased costs.
In speaking with Mr. Geweke's representative, Attorney
Gerry Sperry, Council was apprised that he has asked for an
opportunity to address the Council on those issues. Mr.
Sperry and the City Attorney have talked, over a period of
time, regarding those exact concerns and Mr. Sperry
suggested that his client was uncomfortable with agreeing
to pay additional costs at this time but that if, at the
time the Council decides to go through with the redesign,
his client refuses at that time to pay for the additional
costs, then this Council would be under no obligation to
construct the redesign.
Further, Mr. Stein indicated it was his understanding that
Council was concerned about the agreement with the
Kettelmans to purchase the property from the Kettelmans.
To date, the City actually has no written agreement, but an
offer to purchase the property at the present $26,500 per
acre. Mr. Stein emphasized that what this Council must be
aware of is that in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and
Escrow Instructions between the Kettelmans and Mr. Geweke,
Mr. Geweke is to buy the acreage which is left over after
the City of Lodi purchases 10 (or 12) acres from Parcel
#30.
10
On February 24, 1988, Glen Robison, Assistant City
Engineer, received a letter from Robert Elliott, attorney
for the Kettelmans, which letter put the City on notice
that it had 30 days to either purchase the 10 (or 12)
acres; otherwise the Kettelmans will withdraw their offer
to sell the property to the City.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff. Mr. Gerry Sperry, Attorney -at -Law, Law Offices
of Freeman and Brown, 1818 Grand Canal Boulevard, Stockton,
California, representing Mr. Daryle Geweke addressed the
Council urging Council to authorize the execution of the
proposed agreement with Mr. Richard A. Bigler for the
redesign of the "C" Basin.
Following additional discussion, Council, on motion of
Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, approved the
acquisition of the 12.6 acres from the Kettleman family.
Further, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second,
Council set a public hearing for April 6, 1988 to consider
the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity.

Continued March 2, 1988
Capital Outlay and Operating Reserve Fund to complete the
project.
Council was apprised that this project includes the
replacement of the elevated water tank with a new steel
tank. The new tank will be located slightly north and west
of the existing tank in conformance with the Parks &
Recreation Corporation Yard Master Plan.
The City received the following two bids for this project:
BIDDER LOCATION BID
PDM/Hydrostorage San Mateo $455,500.00
CBI Na -Con Inc. Fontana $538,975.00
This project was rebid after the bids received on February
9 were rejected. The low bidder, PDM, was able to reduce
their price by $53,000 with the changes made to the plans
and specifications.
The total project estimate of $525,000 includes
construction engineering and contingencies. The
recommended project funding is as follows:
Balance in water tank replacement account: $277,000
Transfer from water operating reserve: 150,000
Reappropriate portion of Well 11 redrill project 98,000
525,000
The Well 11 project will not be completed this fiscal year
as a site has not been obtained. The account will have
enough funds remaining to continue work on obtaining a site.

Hinchman, Reid second, asked staff to check into the
placing of a horn on the elevated water tank which would go
off at noon. The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Pinkerton, Reid
and Olson (Mayor)

PUBLIC HEARING SET
TO CONSIDER
ADOPTION OF
RESOLUTION OF
NECESSITY FOR THE
ACQUISITION OF
FIVE PARCELS OF
LAND ON THE WEST
SIDE OF HUTCHINS
STREET, BETWEEN
TAMARACK DRIVE
AND VINE STREET,
BY EMINENT DOMAIN
PROCEDURES On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second,
Council set a public hearing for April 6, 1988 to consider
CC -27(a) adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition
of five parcels of land on the west side of Hutchins Street
(between Tamarack Drive and Vine Street) by eminent domain
procedures.
Council was informed that the City's land acquisition
agent, Jerry Heminger, has been in contact and working with
the property owners on South Hutchins Street for several
months. The City now has reached agreement on the basis of
the appraisals with 11 of the original 16 property owners.

Continued March 2, 1988
The City also has general agreement with two others, but
through no fault of theirs or the City's, getting the
necessary signatures may delay the project. The three
remaining owners have indicated that they are not satisfied
with the City's offer, but have not presented any reason
for modification.
It appears that the only way the City can proceed with this
project this summer is through the use of eminent domain
procedures.
Once the Council has set a date for the hearing, all
affected owners will be officially notified of the hearing
so that they may respond.
