membrane system, locating and tying in two 15 -ton air
conditioning units salvaged from the demolished Hale Park
building, and providing electrical requirements to service
those units.
Monies were designated through a Special Allocation dated
May 18, 1989 for this and other work.
The original scope of the project was to patch, rather than
re -roof the building, and did not include funds for
preparation of plans and specifications or structural
calculations which have been necessary. Upon awarding the
contract, additional funding may be required, or deletion
of other items under the Special Allocation may be
necessary.
CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR SOFTBALL COMPLEX
UTILITY ROAD,

STREET
RES. NO. 88-150
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-150 awarding the
contract for the Softball Complex Utility Road, 401 North
CC -12(a)
Stockton Street, to Gooden Paving Company of Acampo'in the
amount of $5,879.04.
The City Council was apprised that the utility service road
from Lawrence Avenue will allow vendors and suppliers
access to the concession stand area without interfering
with pedestrians in the bleacher area. The."Parks and
Recreation Department has also requested additional paving
adjacent to the roadway to accommodate accessory vehicles
associated with the sports tournaments held there.This
additional work accounts for a portion of the project
overrun. The remainder is due to the original low budget
estimate. Funds remaining in the Softball Complex shade
structure account will be sufficient to do this work and
replace or modify the backstops which were included in that
project.

Continued November 2, 1988
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on
October 5, 1988.
The City received the following three bids for this project:

RES. NO. 88-151 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-151 awarding the
contract for the Softball Complex Fence Replacement, 401
CC -12(a) North Stockton Street, to Weaver's Woven Wire of Carmichael
in the amount of $29,836.00.
The City Council was apprised that this project was
originally planned to include a 16 -foot outfield fence to
prevent windshield breakage in•the parking lot. Bids were
rejected by the City Council when objections were raised
concerning the height of the fence.
The project was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation
Commission and the City Attorney. It was determined that a
12 -foot fence with warning signs would sufficiently relieve
the City of liability. The project has been redesigned and
includes a 12 -foot outfield fence with 20 -foot foul line
marker poles, a mowstrip, and miscellaneous fence repairs.
Plans and specifications for the redesigned project were
approved on October 5, 1988.

out to be the low bid, the bid was opened out of sequence.
However, it was opened within a few minutes after the other
fence bids were opened, at the same bid opening. It was
the recommendation of the City Attorney and the Public
Works Department that the bid be awarded to Weaver's Woven
Wire.

presentation by Mr. Anthony Crocco, of the firm of Golf
Realty Corporation/William Sherman Company, concerning that
firm's ability to assist the City in obtaining responses to
a Request for Proposal for the construction of a golf

various proposals received. The cost for these services
will be $10,000, plus "out-of-pocket expenses for travel,
printing and other related expenses concerned with the
completion of the assignment at Consultant's actual cost."
The City is under no commitment to proceed with the project
now or in the future. This step will provide the City
Council with the opportunity to review a variety of
proposals and to evaluate how the City and the citizens
might benefit from each. Following this evaluation of
proposals received, which will probably take place in mid
to late February, the Council will then be in a position to
make whatever decision appears most appropriate.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED
EXCUSING ABSENCE
FROM CITY COUNCIL
MEETINGS OF COUNCIL
MEMBER FRED REID
DUE TO FAMILY EMERGENCY
RES. NO. 88-153 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-153 excusing the
absence from Council meetings of Council Member Fred Reid,
CC -6 in the event that he is unable to attend said meetings.
CC -17
The City Council was advised that because of a family
emergency, Council Member Fred Reid was absent from the
Council meeting of October 19, 1988. It now appears likely
that such emergency will necessitate his absence from
Council meetings in the near future.
Government Code § 36513 specifies that if a council member
is absent from "all regular city council meetings for sixty
days consecutively from the last regular meeting date
attended ...", and if such absence is "without permission",
then that council member's seat becomes vacant. City
Attorney McNatt indicated he believed it has been the past
practice of the Council, under appropriate circumstances,
to excuse or grant permission to council members -Under such
circumstances.
City Attorney McNatt advised that in order to avoid the
forfeiture provisions of Government Code § 36513, the
Council may wish to adopt a resolution granting permission
for Council Member Reid's absence. _1
PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
OF LITIGATION, HEGWER
V. CITY OF LODI,
ET AL
The City Council approved settlement of litigation,-Regwer
v. City of Lodi, et al, as hereinafter set forth: _.
CC -4(c)
CC -34
An offer has been made to settle the lawsuit entitled
ity of Lodi, et al., filed August 4, 1988 in
Hegwer v. LD
The U. S. District Court, Sacramento, for the amount of
$18,500.00. This lawsuit alleges arrest for drunk driving
without probable cause, occurring November 11, 1987.
Such proposed settlement would in no way be deemed an
admission of wrongdoing by the City or any of the City's
employees, but a compromise reached to avoid the
inconvenience and expense of trial. If approved by the
Council, the settlement will also dispose of a pending
Workers' Compensation claim filed by the Plaintiff.

Continued November 2, 1988
FINAL MAP FOR HAM
LANE PROFESSIONAL
CENTER, UNIT NO. 2,
1330 WEST LODI
AVENUE APPROVED The City Council approved the final map for Ham Lane
Professional Center, Unit No. 2, Tract No. 2190, and
CC -46 authorized the City Clerk to execute the subdivision map on
behalf of the City.
The City Council was advised that Avenue Investments, the
developer of this subdivision, has furnished the City with
fees for the proposed subdivision. This subdivision is
zoned RCP and creates a one -lot condominium subdivision
from an existing lot. Because this is a developed lot, no
agreements or improvement plans are required.
Mayor Pro Tempore Snider abstained from voting on this
matter because of a possible conflict of interest.
AMENDMENTS TO THE
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
CREATING THE CALIFORNIA
JOINT POWERS INSURANCE
AUTHORITY (CJPIA)
APPROVED
RES. NO. 88-154 The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-154 approving
amendments to the California Joint Powers Insurance
CC -21.1(e) Authority.
The Board of Directors of the CJPIA have approved the
submission of certain amendments to the Joint Powers
agreement to the member entities. An affirmative vote of
700 of the member entities is required to approve the
amendments.
The amendments are intended to clarify and strengthen two
specific parts of the JPA agreement. The first requires
participation in the Auto and General Liability programs be
a prerequisite to continued membership. The second
requires two-year commitments of the members to the
organization and to the pooled coverage layers.
The second change does have some opposition and probably
will not be ratified by 90% of the members. Staff,
nevertheless, recommended the Council approve the change as
a statement of support, commitment, and need for
organizational stability.
****************************************
REPLACEMENT OF
NARCOTICS UNIT
VEHICLE APPROVED Following introduction of the matter and discussion, the
City Council on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider,
CC -20 Hinchman second, approved the replacement of the sedan used

funds in the Equipment Fund to purchase this equipment at
this time.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published and posted according
to law, affidavits of which publication and posting- are on
CC -52(c) file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Pinkerton
153
Continued November 2, 1988
called for the Public Hearing to consider adopting a
resolution/order to vacate the west 15 feet of Ravenwood
Way.
The City Council was apprised that this abandonment has
been requested by Gibraltar Community Builders pursuant to
an order issued by the Superior Court. Wilbert and Roberta
Ruhl obtained a judgement establishing certain easement
rights in their favor over a portion of the Noma Ranch
Subdivision. Gibraltar and Ruhl have agreed. -upon a method
of resolving this dispute whereby Gibraltar will grant the
Ruhl's easement rights in exchange for certain
consideration. Specifically, the Ruhls will obtain a
15 -foot easement over the westerly portion of Lots 1 and 20
in the Noma Ranch Subdivision as well as the westerly 15
feet of Ravenwood Way. In order to accomplish this, the
City of Lodi will need to vacate and abandon the westerly
15 feet of Ravenwood Way as well as a portion of certain
improvements along Almond Drive where the Ruhl's roadway
would intersect Almond Drive. Gibraltar will then
construct a fence along the boundary between the Ruhl
property and Noma Ranch. The fence to be constructed at
the end of Ravenwood Way would have a gate with a City lock.
The owners have paid the necessary fees to process this
abandonment. Pacific Bell, Pacific Gas & Electric, King
Videocable Company and City utilities have been notified of
the abandonment and their approval has been secured.
In exchange for the abandonment and vacation, the adjacent
owners, Wilbert and Roberta Ruhl, have agreed to execute a
deed restriction, to be recorded and run with the land,
obligating them or their successors in interest to restore
the public rights-of-way at such time as they or their
successors in interest are granted any development permit
or map, at their own cost. This simply means that at such
time as the adjacent Ruhl property is used for anything
other than its present agricultural uses, the owners of the
property at that time will be required to rededicate to the
City the land abandoned here, and to provide the extension
of such rights of way in conjunction with any development.
The following persons addressed the City Council regarding
the matter:
a) Jonathan McGladdery, 318 West Pine Street, Lodi
b) Paul Landes, 3138 Appling, Stockton
There being no other persons wishing to address the City
Council regarding the matter, the public portion of the
hearing was closed.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Hinchman second, the
City Council adopted Resolution/Order No. 88-155 vacating

The City Council, on motion of Council Member Olson,
Hinchman second, directed the City Clerk to make postings
regarding these expiring terms as required by law.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Hinchman second, the
City Council concurred with the Mayor's appointment of
Linda C. Vanden Bosch to the Lodi Arts Commission to fill
an unexpired term which will expire May 5, 1991.
No formal action was taken by the City Council regarding
the request received seeking support of Proposition 85, the
Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act.
The City Manager reported that he has been aware for some
time that the City's personnel office was understaffed.
However, for various reasons it was decided to postpone the
request for additional staffing. At the time the City
launched the recruitment for a new Personnel Director the
City Council was advised that one of the first assignments
of the person hired would be to evaluate the existing
operation and staff and then recommend appropriate,.-. action
where attention was needed.
Joanne Narloch has now been on board for two months; much
of that time has been spent with department heads to
determine the services which need to be performed to meet
their needs and reviewing the polices and procedures in the
personnel operation. The major deficiency Ms. Narloch has
identified, and one that we all suspected, is that we have
no formalized personnel policies and procedures, resulting
in a "seat of the pants" operation.
There is currently no position control system in place.
Our recruiting and selection procedures have provided a
generally high quality work force. However, we have not
followed legal guidelines and have run the risk of
violating laws relative to equal employment opportunities.
A policy needs to be developed on requesting and conducting
classification studies and procedures.
In the area of discipline our record is less than stellar.
Ms. Narloch is now providing guidance in handling such
actions as the need arises.
We have no performance appraisal system; records are kept
manually or using the word processor; employee and
supervisory training in the areas of sexual harassment,
discrimination, affirmative action, discipline, etc. are
not being addressed.

to develop and write a set of modern day personnel rules
and a personnel policy and procedures manual and to begin
the process of automating the personnel functions.
The City Manager further indicated that we have surveyed
staffing levels and salaries in other personnel offices.
The results are summarized below.
This averages one analyst per 241 employees. The City of
Lodi now has 367 budgeted positions.
An external comparison of these same cities shows the mean
salary to be $2,916.00. The City Manager indicated he has
trouble with the small number of positions surveyed and
prefers to use internal alignments. The differential
between department heads and their assistants is between 70
and 75%.
Community Development Director - Chief Building Inspector 72.7
Finance Director - Assistant Finance Director 73.1
Parks & Recreation Director - Recreation Superintendent 69.3
Public Works Director - Chief Civil Engineer 70.3
A proposed class specification for a Personnel Analyst was
presented for the City Council's review. A salary level
equal to 71.5% of the Personnel Director control point
would be .$2,724 per month. This salary is near that of the
Accountant II position which has the same education and
experience criteria. This results in the following
proposed salary range for this position:
A B C D E
$2,241 $2,353 $2,470 $2,594 $2,7F4
City Manager Peterson indicated that such a request should
be considered as part of the overall budget review
process. However, he didn't believe it to be in the City's
best interest to wait until then. Such a schedule would
mean that we would not have this filled until about a year
from now. Filling this position now will provide a level
of service to which job applicants, employees, retired
employees, department heads and the public in general are
entitled.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions regarding the
matter being directed to the City Manager and to Ms.
Narloch.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Hinchman second, the
City Council tabled this matter to allow further time for
Council review.

ORDINANCE AND
RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING
STANDARDS AND
PROCEDURES FOR
IMPOSITION,
COLLECTION AND
EXPENDITURE OF
DEVELOPERS' FEES
ORO. NO. 1440
INTRODUCED City Attorney McNatt advised the City Council that State
Legislature, pursuant to A81600 and its companion bill
CC -6 SB372, has mandated that local government adopt provisions
CC -46 for the establishment of procedures establishing a "nexus"
CC -56 between development fees imposed and the needs generated by
CC -149 the development upon which such fees are imposed, as well
as set up certain segregated accounts for the deposit and
retention of funds.
City Attorney McNatt presented a draft ordinance which
would establish the Master Storm Drainage Fee (the only
development fee presently in place in the City), limits the
use of fee revenues, and establishes a mechanism for fee
adjustments. City Attorney McNatt also advised that the
resolution which will be coming before the City Council
shortly provides necessary definitions, sets the fee
itself, and provides for fee reviews.
The State statute requires the City to have these
provisions in place not later than January 1, 1989. The
format utilized in the draft ordinance and which will be
used in the draft resolution is based on a model developed
by the League of California Cities legal staff, and
modified to meet local needs.
Following discussion with questions regarding the matter
being directed to the City Attorney, the City Council on
motion of Council Member Hinchman, Olson second, introduced
Ordinance No. 1440 entitled, "An Ordinance of the Lodi City
Council Establishing a Storm Drainage Fee for Developments
Within the City of Lodi". The motion carried by unanimous
vote of all City Council members present.
Further, on motion of Council Member Hinchman, Olson
second, the City Council set a public hearing regarding the
matter for the Regular Council Meeting of November 16, 1988.

APPROVED
URGENCY ORDINANCE
ADOPTED City Attorney McNatt advised the City Council that the
U. S. Marine Corps' "Toys For Tots" campaign, working in
CC -6 conjunction with the San Joaquin County Department of
CC -66 Aging, Childrens' and Community Services, has requested
CC -73 that the City Council consider turning over to the toy
CC -149 drive all unclaimed bicycles and toys held by the Lodi
CC -152 Police Department, in lieu of selling these items at
auction, as has been done in the past.

Under Welfare and Institutions Code § 217, the Council may,
by ordinance, turn over all unclaimed toys and bicycles
held by the Police Department for more than 60 days to
nonprofit organizations to be used " , in a program or
activity designed to prevent juvenile delinquency."
The County Department of Aging, Childrens' and Community
Services appears to meet all criteria specified in the
statute, thus satisfying the requirements stated that the
organization to which the toys and bicycles are turned over
be nonprofit, and that the toys and bicycles be used in a
program designed to prevent juvenile delinquency.
The City Attorney indicated that he believed there is
adequate justification, if the Council desires to do so, to
utilize the provisions of § 217 to authorize the delivery
of the toys and bicycles for distribution in conjunction
with the Marine Corps' "Toys For Tots" campaign.
However, since the Welfare and Institutions code section
specifies that the Council must act by ordinance, if it
wishes to approve the proposal, the Council should act by
urgency ordinance, in order to allow the delivery of the
toys in time for Christmas. Otherwise, the final adoption
of the ordinance would not occur until December, which
would probably not allow timely delivery of the items.
First Sergeant Phillip J. Suchecki, U. S. Marine Corps
addressed the City Council regarding the matter and
responded to questions as were posed by members of the City
Council.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Olson second, the
City Council, by unanimous vote of all members present,
adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1441 entitled, "An Urgency
Ordinance of the Lodi City Council Directing that Unclaimed.
Bicycles and Toys be Turned Over to the United State Marine
Corps' 'Toys for Tots' Campaign".
ORD. 1439
ADOPTED Ordinance No. 1439 entitled, "An Ordinance of the Lodi City
Council Adopting a Capital Improvement Program Budget for
CC -15 the City of Lodi for Fiscal Year 1988-89" having been
CC -149 introduced at a regular meeting of the Lodi City Council
held October 19, 1988 was brought up for passage on motion
of Council Member Olson, Hinchman second. Second reading
of the ordinance was omitted after reading by title, and
the ordinance was then adopted and ordered to print by
unanimous vote of all Council Members present.
ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the
City Council, Mayor Pinkerton adjourned the meeting at
approximately 8:55 p.m.
