INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS APPROVED AT EILERS LANE AND LILAC STREET, AND YIELD SIGN ON MURRAY STREET AT CALAVERAS STREET APPROVED RES. NO. 87-25 Council adopted Resolution No. 87-25 approving the installation of multi -way stop signs at Eilers Lane and CC -48(h) Lilac Street and a yield sign on Murray Street at Calaveras CC -48(i) Street. Council was apprised that both of these intersections have unusual characteristics. The major approaches at Eilers Lane/Lilac Street are the southbound and eastbound approaches. The existing stop sign is located on the westbound approach (minor approach). This intersection is not a normal "T" intersection due to the volumes. There have been no accidents in 1986 and 1985. Construction of this intersection was completed in the fall of 1985 and therefore, there are no previous accident records. Murray Street and Calaveras Street intersection has no controls and is treated similar to a "T" intersection. However, the design is more similar to a "Y" intersection. There has been one reported accident in 1986 and none in 1985 and 1984. The intersections have not had an accident problem and they also do not meet the normal guidelines for installing yield and multi -way stop signs. The Public Works Department has received many complaints regarding these intersections. Many drivers are confused by the unusual characteristics and do not know which approach has the right-of-way. Staff recc mends installing the above listed controls to improve the right-of-way control.

REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER REGULAR CALENDAR CITY OF LODI COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPAR TI EWr TO COLLECT SCHOOL IMPACTION FEES AS MANDATED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA RES. NO. 87-22 Council was informed by Coamunity Development Director Schroeder that at the very end of the 1986 Legislative year CC -6 both the Senate and Assembly passed legislation which CC -43 requires local school districts to collect mandatory impaction fees if they are using State Bond funds for new construction. This legislation was passed with the very strong support of the Governor because he felt local school districts should be paying for a portion of new school construction. Earlier this month the Trustees of the Lodi Unified School adopted the maximum fee which is $1.50 per square foot for residential and $.25 per square foot for cammercial and industrial. The new fees are to be affective March 9, 1987. However, subdivisions with Final Maps or separate impaction agreements with LUSD before September 1, 1986 are exempted and these projects will pay the present district fee of $200 per bedroan. It appears that all residential projects in Lodi are exempted and possibly some camrercial and industrial projects with Final Maps. As a convenience to contractors and other persons seeking building permits from the City of Lodi, it is the staff's recommendation that the Commmity Development Department collect all impaction fees on behalf of LUSD and charge the District a 3% fee to cover the City's cost. The County and the Cities of Stockton and Tracy have refused to collect the new fees because of the multiplicity of school districts in those jurisdictions. Manteca is refusing to collect the fees for reasons undetermined at this time. Since (1) there is only a single school district in Lodi; (2) our Building Division must determine the square -footage of all construction projects to determine building permit costs; and (3) the City already collects impaction fees, it appears to be in everyone's best interest to have the Catmuni.ty Development Department collect the fees. Ms. Mary Joan Starr, Facility Planner, Lodi Unified school District, addressed the Council concerning the .matter formally requested on behalf of the Lodi Unified School District Governing Board, that the City of Lodi collect the requisite fees for them and transmit then to the district in the same manner as with the SB 201 fees. Ms. Starr further stated that the Governing Board understands that an administrative fee would be in order and that they are hopeful that, with the passage of new legislation, that can cane from the proceeds. Discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff and to'Ms. Starr. 449 Continued February 4, 1987 On motion of Council Member Snider, Hinchman second, Council adopted Resolution No. 87-22 authorizing the City of Lodi Community Development Department to collect the School Tirpaction Fees as required by the State of California on behalf of the Lodi Unified School District and that the City retain 3% of said fees to cover administration costs. The motion carried by unanimous vote. ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LODI MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING A NEW SECTION UNDER CHAPTER 5.04 - BUSINESS LICENSES GENERALLY ORD.
