READVERTISEMENT FOR
BIDS FOR PURCHASE OF
50 ACTON UPHOLSTERED
THEATER CHAIRS On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second, the
AUTHORIZED City Council authorized the re -advertisement for bids
for the purchase of 50 Acton upholstered theater chairs for
CC -20 Hutchins Street Square.
CC -47
On August 17, 1988, the City Council approved
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for 50
Action upholstered theater chairs with tilt -up seat, for
use in the Fine Arts Theater at Hutchins Street Square.
Bids were opened on August 30, 1988 with results as follows:
Warden's Office Furniture $5,962.50
Durst Office Furniture $6,172.91
W. P. Wesson & Co. $6,352.05
J. H. L. Office Furniture $7,327.25
On September 7, 1988, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 88-121 awarding the bid to Warden's Office Furniture,
as recommended by Staff.
Subsequent to the award, Warden's withdrew their bid,
citing incorrect pricing information from the
manufacturer. Durst and W. P. Wesson did likewise.
J. H. L. maintained their bid.
It is the Purchasing Department's recommendation that,
rather than award the bid to the sole remaining bidder,
J. H. L. Office Interiors, the project be re -bid. While
the City would not receive pricing in the $5,962.50 to
$6,352.05 range, City would likely receive bids in the
$6,900 to $7,200 range, some $100 to $400 below J. H. L.'s
price of $7,327.25 above.
$7,500 was budgeted for this purchase in the Equipment Fund.
If recommendation is approved, the bid opening would be
held on Tuesday, November 29, 1988.

Hearing to consider the appeal of RoseMarie Mendonca of the
Planning Commission's denial regarding the General Plan
Amendment and rezoning of parcels located at 537 and 539
East Pine Street.
The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson.
Community Development Director Schroeder advised the
Council that, at its meeting of August 8, 1988, the Lodi
City Planning Commission by a unanimous vote denied the
General Plan Amendment and Rezoning request. In making its
decision the Planning Commission drew the following
conclusions:
1. that the subject properties were not affected any more
than the hundreds of other properties which were
rezoned to R-1, Single Family Residential under the
Eastside Rezoning; and
2. that the properties could be redeveloped with a
four-plex or two single-family houses which would be
more compatible with the adjacent residential
properties.
The following person spoke on behalf of the appeal:
1. RoseMarie Mendonca, 2 North Cherokee Lane, Lodi
There being no other persons wishing to speak on the
matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, the
Council denied the appeal of RoseMarie Mendonca of the

Commission's denial of a zoning variance to reduce the
setback for a monument sign from 10 feet to 4 feet at 1330
South Ham Lane in an area zoned R -C -P, Residential -
Commercial -Professional.
The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson and
Community Development Director Schroeder.
The City Council was apprised that the sign was erected by
the sign company in the wrong location because the plans as
corrected and approved by the Community Development
Department were not on the job site. The error was
discovered by a Building Inspector using the City's copy of
the approved plans.
In denying the request the Planning Commission determined
that a "Zoning Hardship" as defined by Section 17.72.080 of
the Municipal Code did not exist.
The following persons spoke on behalf of the appeal:
1. Tom Harris, 2331 East Eden Street, Lodi
2. Anthony Patti, 4208 Cliff Drive, Stockton
There being no other persons wishing to speak on the
matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second, the
City Council did find and declare in this matter that other
parcels of land similarly situated and zoned in the City of
Lodi enjoy a right not shared by the property subject of
this appeal, i.e., signs placed nearer than 10 feet from
the public right of way or property line and it is
therefore appropriate to grant a variance for the placement
of the existing sign at that location and approved the
appeal of Delta Sign and Crane Service on behalf of Harry
Ilgenfritz of the Planning Commission's denial of a zoning
variance to reduce the setback for a monument sign from 10
feet to 4 feet at 1330 South Ham Lane in an area zoned

carried by a unanimous vote of the City Council.

Street and Mills Avenue and Elm Street and Loma Drive, the
CC -7(e) City Council approved the placement of an adult crossing
CC -43 guard, at City expense, at the intersection of Elm Street
CC -48(a) and Loma Drive.
CC -48(h) -
The Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) sent letters
requesting the Public Works Department study the Elm Street
and Mills Avenue, and Elm Street and Loma Drive
intersections for an adult crossing guard.
Staff performed the necessary studies for an adult crossing
guard in accordance with the guidelines adopted by
Caltrans. The guidelines require that at least 40
elementary school pedestrians use the crossing when going
to or from school each of any two hours daily and the
traffic volume exceeds 350 vehicles when the major street
has no control. The traffic volume must exceed 500
vehicles when the major street is controlled by stop
signs. The results of the vehicle and pedestrian counts
are as follows:

While performing the traffic count, staff observed parents
double parking on Elm Street, parking in the bus zone, and
making illegal U-turns near Loma Drive. Parents exiting
the school's driveway located near the Elm Street and Loma
Drive crosswalks cause additional congestion.
Staff reviewed the accident records for the last 4 years
and 10 months and there have been 8 vehicle versus vehicle
accidents and 1 vehicle versus bicycle accident at Elm

Street/Mills Avenue. A primary collision factor could not
be determined for the vehicle versus bicycle accident. The
officer felt the motorist had an unsafe starting movement
and the bicyclist was illegally riding in the crosswalk.
At the Elm Street/Loma Drive intersection, there have been
2 vehicle versus vehicle accidents and no bicycle accidents
for the same time period. There have been no reported
pedestrian versus vehicle accidents at either intersection.
Both intersections have student patrols and they appear to
be controlling the student pedestrians properly.
Staff also considered redirecting pedestrians from Elm
Street/Mills Avenue to Elm Street/Loma Drive in order to
satisfy the adult crossing guard warrant. However, staff
feels crossing pedestrians at a four-way stop intersection
with student patrols is safer than at an uncontrolled
street with an adult crossing guard.
The City of Lodi's crossing guard agreement with -the LUSD
states that the City has a statutory duty to reimburse the
School District for costs of employing school crossing
guards if the requisite criteria are met. The primary
criterion is the data shall be measured against the
warrants of the Traffic Manual published and adopted by
Caltrans.
