AMEND LODI MUNICIPAL CODE BUSINESS LICENSE ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE THAT THE PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF IS AN INFRACTION ORD. NO. 1397 IN'TTZO)UCED Council was informed that under Lodi Municipal Code Section 1.08.010 and pursuant to Government Code Section 36900, any CC -6 violation of a city ordinance is a misdemeanor, unless by CC -21(a) ordinance it is made an infraction. Under the City's business license ordinance as written, violations are a misdemeanor. It is difficult to enforce the provisions of the business licenses because of increased activity in that area of business, and the process that must be gone through to obtain a misdemeanor conviction. It would seen logical to adopt an ordinance under which violations would be an infraction with stipulations, rather than a misdemeanor. The misdemeanor violations requires fines and can carry a prison sentence. The infraction would be a civil offense. City Attorney Stein indicated that it would be his intention to ask the Judge to set fines in an amount sufficient to cover all of the City's costs. Council introduced Ordinance No. 1397 amending the Lodi Municipal Code Business License Ordinance to require that the penalty for violations thereof is an infraction. 436 Continued January 21, 1987 APPROVE APPROPRIATION FOR AERIAL PHOTOS FOR LODI LAKE PARK MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT Following receipt of a recommendation from Richard Bigler, the landscape architect for the Lodi Lake Master Plan, CC -6 Council approved an appropriation of $11,000 from the CC -27(c) Capital Outlay Reserve Fund for aerial photos of Lodi Lake.

CC -45(e) Council was informed that at the time the Stockton Street, Vine Street to Tokay Street, project was constructed, 14 property owners were given notice to construct sidewalk where none existed. All but two of the property owners installed the required sidewalk. After the time prescribed in the Streets and Highways Code, the City notified its contractor to do that work.

REQUEST OF THE LODI DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION FOR $5,000 TO ASSIST IN THE FORMATION OF A BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND THE PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL OF A CALIFORNIA MAIN STREET PROGRAM APPLICATION At the Shirtsleeve sessions of December 16, 1986 and January 13, 1987, the City Council heard a presentation on CC -10(f) revitalization of the Downtown Business District. At the meeting of January 13, Ms. Kathleen Les of Les -Thomas Associates made a presentation on the issues a downtown must address to improve its image, attract shoppers and boost retail sales. She pointed out one means of doing this is through the Main Street Program. 439 Continued January 21, 1987 The State of California, Department of Commerce, offers communities opportunities to improve local economies through the Main Street approach. The Main Street approach builds on existing resources, is incremental and fosters improved community leadership and support on behalf of the downtown for the long -tens. The elements vital to revitalization efforts in building a total downtown image include: Organization Promotion Design Economic restructuring If a city is chosen to be a Main Street city - and only five are chosen per year - the Department of Commerce provides technical assistance in doing needs assessments, training of local managers and boards, and specialized assistance in business development, marketing, traffic management and other skills needed to develop and maintain the downtown a vibrant part of the city. Whether or not a city is selected to be a Main Street city, the issues are the same and the need to address them is real. The Lodi Downtown Business Association has indicated its commitment to follow-up on improvement efforts by now looking at further means of revitalization. Les -Thomas Associates has indicated a capability and desire to assist the LDBA through the initial steps of revitalization. In their proposal they identify the following Phase I services. 1. Generalized needs assessment to determine optimum revitalization strategy. 2. Special assistance in promoting awareness of revitalization opportunities. 3. Assist with the establishment of a Business Improvement District including preparation of the implementing ordinance and coordination with City staff, merchants, and the IDEA. 4. Preparation of the Main Street application including gathering and coordination with LDBA to establish goals and objections for participation in the program if selected. The contract with Les -Thomas Associates will be $5,000. Before a contract is written, a work program including time lines and scope of work must be done. The LDBA has requested the City of Lodi to provide the $5,000 for the contract with LDBA assuming all other costs of the project, such as publicity, mails, transportation, etc. IDEA estimates this expenditure at $3,000. Mr. Mike Lapenta, Chairman of the Lodi Downtown Business Association, addressed the Council regarding the matter and responded to questions as were posed by members of the Council.

An alternate showing right-of-way acquisition and widening to Sturla Street was also shown.

This advantage is offset by the widening impacts on the single family residence at the northwest corner of Hutchins and Sturla - loss of landscaping, increased noise, etc. 11 a) The developmnt of a work program mutually acceptable to both parties. b) The execution of a contract for technical assistance between the Lodi Downtown Business Association and the firm of Les -Thomas Associates. c) The Lodi Downtown Business Association pledged $3,000 toward the program. PROJECT APPROVAL OF THE HUICHINS STPD= IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, TOKAY STREET TO LODI AVENUE RES. No. 87-21,/ In 1981 an Environmental Impact Report and Traffic Study was done on Hutchins Street from Kettleman Lane to CC -45(a) Lockeford Street. Various alternatives were studied ranging from no change up to widening to 64 feet curb to curb (4 travel lanes and parking) in an 80 foot right-of-way. The "Minimum Rearmsended Project" in the vicinity of Tokay to Lodi called for no right-of-way acquisition except 5 feet on the west side imrediately south of Lodi Avenue. This would have provided two travel lanes plus a left turn lane and parking on both sides from Tokay to Chestnut, and 4 lanes plus a left turn lane with no parking from Chestnut to Lodi. Ultimately the stmt would be striped for four lanes and no parking except during off-peak hours (limited parking). The City Council adopted a plan with the following features. Actions taken to date are shown in parentheses. 1) Maintain 80 foot ultimate right-of-way for future developments 2) Reconstruct, within existing curbs, Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street 3) Mirror widening south of Lodi Avenue (Preliminary engineering and right-of-way budgeted for 1986/87) 4) Reconstruct, within existing curbs, Rimby Avenue to Lodi Avenue (Vine to Tokay Streets reconstructed 1983; Rimby Avenue to Vine Street budgeted 1985; Tokay Street to Lodi Avenue, scheduled for 1987 with minor widening South of Lodi Avenue ) 5) Minor widening - Kettleman Lane to Rimby Avenue (constructed 1983) Item 4 was revised on December 17, 1986, to include 5 feet of right-of-way acquisition and addition of a two-way left turn lane, Rimby to Vine. The approved plan between Sturla Street and Lodi Avenue was presented for Council's perusal. An alternate showing right-of-way acquisition and widening to Sturla Street was also shown. The alternate provides for two southbound lanes through the commercial driveways and moves the merging area south of the driveways. This advantage is offset by the widening impacts on the single family residence at the northwest corner of Hutchins and Sturla - loss of landscaping, increased noise, etc. 11 Continued January 21, 1987 VOTING DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE DESIGNATED FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC POWER ASSOCIATION ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE CC -6 CC -7 (1) CITY MANAGER DIRECTED TO OBTAIN APPRAISAL ON PARCEL AT 207 WEST ELM STREET CC -6 CC -27(a) 441 Staff is ready to proceed with right-of-way acquisition and project design and would like confirmation of the previously approved project or other direction as Council deems appropriate.
