Beck and Associates for Electrical Engineering Consulting Services. This is a master agreement which will cover services covering a broad range of tasks. However, prior to undertaking each assignment, R. W. Beck and Associates will submit a budget outlining the estimated cost. The first such assignment, which is estimated to be in the $2,000 range, will be to perform research, primarily with the California. Public Utilities Commission, regarding rate schedules for mobile home parks. This has always been a rather knotty problem and particular attention should be paid to this group of customers at the time the new rate schedules are approved. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-93 authorizing the execution of an agreement between the City of Lodi and R. W. Beck and Associates for electrical engineering consulting services. AMENDED SALARY RANGES FOR EMPLOYEES IN THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATORS UNIT AND POLICE DISPATCHERS UNIT APPROVEDRES. NO. 88-94 RES.

COMMUNICATIONS (CITY CLERK) ABC LICENSE City Clerk Reimche presented the following Alcoholic APPLICATIONS Beverage License Applications which had been received: CC -7(f) a) Bruce W. and Linda C. Salisbury, Salisburys, 2401 West Turner Road, Lodi, Off Sale Beer and Wine License, Original License b) Dana S. and Ray Johnson, Straw Hat Pizza, 550 South Cherokee Lane, Suite E, Lodi, On Sale Beer and Wine Eating Place, New License REQUEST FOR "CORNER- STONE" FUNDING FOR LODI CHAMBER ORCHESTRA APPROVED City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had been received from the Founding Committee of the Lodi CC -2(k) Chamber Orchestra requesting "cornerstone" funding: CC -6 CC -97 "TO: The Honorable James W. Pinkerton, Mayor, and the members of the Lodi City Council FROM: The Founding Committee, Lodi Chamber Orchestra SUBJECT: Request for "Cornerstone" Funding The Lodi Chamber Orchestra is the newest of several arts groups in the city of Lodi, with one highly successful concert already to its credit. Since the organization is so new, requirements set by the Lodi Arts Commission have just been met; consequently, LCO is only now able to request financial assistance from the City, assistance which will serve as a cornerstone to help build a second year of three further concerts. The persons whose names are listed below comprise the Founding Committee, from and through which the required board of directors will be set up as soon as possible within the next month. Attached is the budget for the first concert, as set up by conductor Ron Marks; monies needed for the two additional concerts will vary, as he says, on the basis of numbers of musicians. 6 35 Continued July 20, 1988 LCO is making its appearance as a well justified local musical group. Lodi is ready to have a small orchestra of its own. This kind of orchestra gives local musicians a chance to perform, for a public who appreciates them, musical masterworks of high caliber. The city is growing, and the orchestra is an area of interest open to more and more citizens who may wish to join its ranks. Also, a local orchestra of this kind will add to the cultural aspect of Lodi, an aspect which has proved to be very important as an enhancement of any community in the eyes of persons, businesses, and industries seeking locales in which to settle. LCO can also be seen as an additional arts attraction for Lodi's highly visible community center, Hutchins Street Square. The Lodi Chamber Orchestra's Founding Committee is not looking to the City for total or even majority subsidy, merely for "Cornerstone" funding so that this coming year's goal of three concerts can have a substantial base and so that impetus can be given to further plans for fundraising, grantseeking, and acquiring sustaining support from the community. A step was already made in this direction through an appeal to the National Endowment for the Arts: however, it was learned that deadlines were long past. The Founding Committee realizes that this appeal is being made somewhat beyond the usual deadline for city budget requests, but we respectfully suggest that this chance to establish another outstanding performing group in Lodi will have merit enough for the requested financial assistance to be granted. Therefore, we respectfully request a financial "cornerstone" of $5,000. Respectfully submitted, Members of the Founding Committee, Lodi Chamber Orchestra Susan Hitchcock -Akin Carol Marvel Gwin Mitchell Mary Jane Ballatore Don Sutherland June Kemalyan Thelma Dudley Joyce Clarkson Rose Plines John Spagnola Amy E. Lucas LODI CHAMBER ORCHESTRA BUDGET 1988-89 Specific Budget for the October 1988 Concert: 40 musicians at $35 per service (5 services*) $7,000.00 * includes rehearsals and performances Soloist 200.00 United Congregational Church (performance hall) 250.00 Music rental 200.00 Advertising 300.00 Printing 200.00 Total $T,_1 50.E This is an approximate budget for the concert planned for October 22, 1988. Each concert should run to almost the same amount of money, within $400 either way, depending on the works performed and the numbers of musicians needed. 36 Continued July 20, 1988 Soloist fees may run as high as $2000 for a major artist. For the first concert, however, Mr. Swiatkowski has agreed to play with the orchestra for only the cost of his plane fare, plus room and board. The use of a major artist could be limited to one concert a year, which will save a considerable amount of money. Also, there will be only three concerts this year --in October, February, and April --instead of the four originally planned. This saves about $9000.00 Ron Marks, Conductor Lodi Chamber Orchestra" Speaking on behalf of the request were: Barbara Bennett, Chairman, Lodi Arts Commission Gwin Mitchell, Member of the Founding Committee, Lodi Chamber Orchestra Discussion followed with questions being directed to staff and to Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Mitchell. On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Reid second, the City Council approved the request from the Lodi Chamber Orchestra and appropriated $5,000 from the Contingency Fund to be placed in the Lodi Arts Commission budget. The $5,000 is to be allocated by the Lodi Arts Commission to the Lodi Chamber Orchestra in an amount of $1,666.67 per concert for the three concerts which are to be performed by the Orchestra. Mayor Pro Snider proposed that in the future proper funding be available in the Lodi Arts Commission budget so that body can approve and appropriate funds for requests received of this type. Further, it was suggested that all Boards and Commissions chairmen meet with staff during the budget preparation process so that staff may have the benefit of their input as to the budget for that Board or Commission. APPOINTMENTS MADE TO VARIOUS CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Reid second, the City Council concurred with the following CC -2(b) appointments/reappointments to various city boards and CC -2(d) commissions. APPOINTMENT LODI ARTS COMMISSION 3 YEAR TERMS Expiring Pamela Amrine May 5, 1990 (filling an unexpired term) Virginia Snyder May 5, 1991 REAPPOINTMENT LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES 3 YEAR TERMS Expiring Leonard A. Humphreys June 30, 1991 Posting for these expiring terms and vacancies were made by the City Clerk pursuant to State statute. 8 37 Continued July 20, 1988 i UPDATE ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND THE NEWLY -FORMED SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION UNIT City Clerk Reimche presented the following update from the Community Development Department regarding the Community CC -55 Development Block Grant Program and the newly -formed San Joaquin County Neighborhood Preservation Unit: "TO: CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR BANK OF AMERICA, Downtown Lodi Branch FROM: NORMAN K. HOM, Assistant Planner DATE: JULY 11, 1988 SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM On July 7, I met with Rene Jackson the deputy director for the newly formed Neighborhood Preservation Unit at San Joaquin County. Under Ms. Jackson's direction, the Neighborhood Preservation Unit will administer the Block Grant Program for all the participating cities in the County. Additionally, they have assumed the responsibilities outlined in our MOU for the Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. Ms. Jackson is currently working with a staff of four, including herself, a secretary, and two housing rehabilitation specialists. She expects to hire seven additional staff people shortly. Until now, we have seen little appreciable progress in the rehab loan program due to the reorganization at the County. Ms. Jackson has indicated to me that all twelve of the applications for rehab loans have now been reviewed; three were deemed ineligible and the other nine are in various stages of processing. We can expect to see the first few rehab jobs start shortly. It is our estimation that these nine loans will use up the funds allocated for this program in fiscal year 1987-88 and that we can start accepting more applications for this fiscal year's funds." ADJOURNMENT TO MEETING OF THE LODI PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION At 8:15 p.m., Mayor Pinkerton adjourned the City Council meeting to a meeting of the Lodi Public Improvement CC -190 Corporation. At 8:19 p.m. Mayor Pinkerton reconvened the Lodi City Council Meeting. REGULAR CALENDAR CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION 1988 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION PROJECT RES. NO. 88-96 Following introduction of the matter by Mr. Brian O. Quint, Jones Hall Hill and White and Mr. John C. Fitzgerald, 9 Continued July 20, 1988 CC -6 Seidler -Fitzgerald Public Finance, the City Council, on CC -51(f) motion of Council Member Olson, Reid second, adopted CC -190 Resolution No. 88-96 approving, authorizing and directing execution of certain installment sale financing documents, approving a purchase agreement, approving the form and authorizing distribution of a preliminary official statement in connection with the offering and sale of certificates of participation, and authorizing and directing certain actions with respect thereto (1988 Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Project). RESOLUTION ADOPTED PROHIBITING THROUGH TRUCK TRAVEL ON TURNER ROAD RES. NO. 88-97 Mayor Pinkerton asked to abstain from discussion and voting on this matter because of a possible conflict of interest. CC -45(a) Mayor Pinkerton's residence is located at 916 West Turner CC -48(a) Road, Lodi. Mayor Pinkerton left his seat at the Council table and handed the gavel to the Mayor Pro Tempore John R. (Randy) Snider. The City Council was advised that at its June 1, 1988 meeting, it had given staff additional direction on prohibiting through trucks on Turner Road. Based on this and past discussions, staff prepared a resolution incorporating the following: - Trips originating or terminating within the City limits are not affected; - Through trips on Lower Sacramento Road are not affected (this involves the short piece of Turner Road connecting the offset segments of Lower Sacramento Road west of General Mills); - Trucks may use Turner Road east of Highway 99 for access to Highway 99 on ramps (this is necessary because the ramps at Victor Road do not allow some trucks to make the eastbound to northbound and southbound to eastbound turns). Examples of permitted and prohibited trips and the proposed signing were depicted on exhibits presented to the City Council. With a resolution in place, Caltrans has indicated they would install the appropriate signs on Highway 99: The actual sign wording must be approved by Caltrans. Caltrans was reluctant to install the appropriate signs on Interstate 5 since those ramps are in the County. However, with the proposed signing, additional signs on I-5 may not be necessary. Once staff has the resolution and is clear on what is intended, they can work with Caltrans (and the County, if necessary) regarding the appropriate signing including Highway 99, I-5, and possibly Highway 12. Mr. Eric Vanhove, Plant Engineer for General Mills, addressed the City Council advising that the proposed plan will meet General Mills needs; however suggested some modifications to the proposed signing. Following discussion with questions being directed to Staff, the City Council on motion of Council Member Olson, Reid second, adopted Resolution No. 88-97 amending the Traffic Resolution to prohibit through trucks on Turner Road. 10 39 Continued July 20, 1988 Further, the City Council directed staff to work with other agencies regarding installation of appropriate signs on State Highways. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members - Olson, Reid, and Snider (Mayor Pro Tempore) Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Hinchman Abstain: Council Members - Pinkerton Mayor Pinkerton returned to his Council seat. ACCEPTANCE OF ONE -FOOT DEDICATION IN THE 2000 THROUGH 2300 BLOCKS OF WEST TOKAY STREET (WESTDALE, TRACT 631) APPROVED RES. NO. 68-98 The City Council was reminded that on June 1, 1988, the City Council discussed the proposal to accept for the CC -27(a) purpose of the widening of Tokay Street, the one -foot strip CC -46 dedication of Parcels "C", "D", "E" and "F" that were offered for dedication on the map of Westdale in the 2000 through 2300 blocks of West Tokay Street (Westdale, Tract 631). Since the June 1 meeting, the Public Works Department has discussed the matter with Mr. Irvin Bender, one of the owners of the one -foot strip. Mr. Bender feels that once the one -foot strips become street right of way, the two lots at 700 Willow Avenue and 701 Peach Street could be easily parceled into two lots each, or the lots rezoned from R-1 to R-2 and duplexes constructed. Either of the above scenarios would be a considerable monetary gain to the owners of the two lots at the expense of the early developers who constructed the street and installed the utilities. Mr. Bender is asking that if the City accepts the dedication, the owners of the one -foot strip be given some guarantee of return on their investment should either of these parcels construct an additional dwelling unit. Such a guarantee would be very difficult to monitor in the future, and it is highly unlikely that the City could legally make such a commitment. Mr. Bender did indicate that should the Council determine the City could not maintain the one -foot strip as private property until the adjacent property developed, that a compromise might be to give the owners three years to make financial arrangements with present property owners on Peach and Willow. At the end of three years, the City would accept the dedication regardless. If the Council accepts the compromise, Staff would recommend acceptance of Parcel C at this time because it is already developed. Then Parcels D, E, and F would be covered by the three year compromise. The Public Works Department still feels that 26 years is an adequate time for recouping the original investment when in all probability the original costs for Tokay Street and utilities entered into the financial calculations and were distributed over the 120 lots in the original subdivision. Under similar circumstances under today's City policies, reimbursement to developers for utility installation runs for a period of only 10 years with no reimbursement for 11 40 Continued July 20, 1988 extra street width. It was recommended that all parcels be accepted by the City Council. Early in June, the County sent the City a letter regarding operational improvements on Lower Sacramento Road. They asked that the City contribute $64,000 to the project for right turn lanes and a pavement overlay. Staff responded, indicating we were reluctant to take the request to the Council for a number of reasons. We were also concerned about the adequacy of the design and asked for more information. The County responded on June 30, indicating they were proceeding with the project as designed, without the additional right turn lanes. City staff ran some rough level of service calculations based on available traffic counts. They indicate there will be a noticeable difference in the operation of the intersection with and without the right turn lanes (level of service C versus D). We called the County and indicated we would take a recommendation to the Council for City participation in the right turn lanes without the overlay if they would provide a separate estimate. They have done so and their rough estimate is $50,000. Additional information which had just been developed was reported by Public Works Director Ronsko who then responded to questions regarding the matter that were posed by members of the City Council. Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Olson second, the City Council determined that the City of Lodi would not participate in the subject project at this time. 12 Addressing the City Council regarding the matter were: a) Mr. Irvin Bender, 1210 East Woodbridge Road, Lodi b) Mr. Earl W. Moore, 700 Peach Street c) Mr. and Mrs. Pat Drovin, 700 Willow d) Mr. John Zahorowski, 701 Willow Discussion followed with the City Council directing questions to those persons speaking on the matter and to staff. The City Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Olson second, adopted Resolution No. 88-98 accepting the dedication of Parcels C, D, E, and F that were offered for dedication on the map of Westdale Subdivision. . RECESS Mayor Pinkerton declared a five-minute recess, and the City Council reconvened at approximately 9:10 p.m. REVIEW OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT HIGHWAY 12 AND LOWER SACRAMENTO ROAD Public Works Director Ronsko advised the City Council that San Joaquin County is the lead agency in the installation CC -7(b) of a traffic signal at Highway 12 and Lower Sacramento CC -7(f) Road. Caltrans and the County are splitting the $120,000 CC -48(h) cost of the signal 50/50. The work is scheduled for fall 1988 and includes left turn lanes with separate signal phases. Early in June, the County sent the City a letter regarding operational improvements on Lower Sacramento Road. They asked that the City contribute $64,000 to the project for right turn lanes and a pavement overlay. Staff responded, indicating we were reluctant to take the request to the Council for a number of reasons. We were also concerned about the adequacy of the design and asked for more information. The County responded on June 30, indicating they were proceeding with the project as designed, without the additional right turn lanes. City staff ran some rough level of service calculations based on available traffic counts. They indicate there will be a noticeable difference in the operation of the intersection with and without the right turn lanes (level of service C versus D). We called the County and indicated we would take a recommendation to the Council for City participation in the right turn lanes without the overlay if they would provide a separate estimate. They have done so and their rough estimate is $50,000. Additional information which had just been developed was reported by Public Works Director Ronsko who then responded to questions regarding the matter that were posed by members of the City Council. Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Olson second, the City Council determined that the City of Lodi would not participate in the subject project at this time. 12 41 Continued July 20, 1988 RIGHT-OF-WAY ENCROACHMENT REQUEST, 1029 SOUTH SACRAMENTO STREET REVIEWED The City Council was advised that in October of last year, it had reviewed the various encroachments which were CC -6 taking place within the public right-of-way. The Public CC -27(a) Works Department is enforcing the ordinance with respect to these encroachments. Letters were sent to parties having encroachments, allowing them sufficient time to remove their property from the public right-of-way. Approximately 40 businesses have now complied with this request. Interlake/Lodi Fab, Inc. had been notified that storage of material and refuse bins was not permitted in the public right-of-way. They have made an attempt to relocate their materials and bins out of the right-of-way. Interlake/Lodi Fab, Inc. is requesting permission to leave one bin on the street. This is a 50 cubic yard bin which Interlake/Lodi Fab, Inc. leases from California Waste Removal Systems. California Waste has an annual encroachment permit for the temporary placement of refuse bins on City streets. The bin leased by Interlake/Lodi Fab, Inc. is not covered by the California Waste encroachment permit. It is felt that the approval of this request would set a precedent for allowing industrial and commercial businesses to store material and bins on the sidewalk and in the public right-of-way. Therefore, it is recommended that this request be denied. .Mr. Steve Mathias, representing the Engineering Division of Interlake/Lodi Fab, Inc., addressed the City Council regarding their company's request. A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed to staff and to Mr. Mathias. Mayor Pinkerton asked Mayor Pro Tempore Snider and Council Member Reid to meet with representatives of Interlake/Lodi Fab Inc. to see if an amicable solution could be worked out. BID FOR PURCHASE OF PAD -MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS RES. NO. 88-90 The City Council was advised that on June 1, 1988, it had approved specifications for the purchase of five 50 KVA, CC -12(b) five 75 KVA and five 100 KVA single-phase, and two 1500 KVA CC -12(d) three phase pad -mounted transformers.
