The contract completion date was July 27, 1987, and the actual completion date was June 23, 1987. The final contract price was $63,422.62. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is mainly due to a 10% overrun on asphaltic concrete and a $765 change order caused by a reduction in the amount of grinding. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR HERB PRESZLER AT 25 SOUTH STOCKTON STREET APPROVED Council approved the development agreement for 25 South Stockton Street and directed the City Manager and City CC -46 Clerk to execute it on behalf of the City. Herb Preszler, the developer of this parcel, has furnished the City with the improvement plans, the necessary agreements, guarantees, insurance certificates and fees for the proposed development.

WHITE SLOUGH LEASE AGREEMENT, WITH UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVED Council was apprised that the University of California and Dale Chapman, the City's current lessee of the 1.1 acre CC -27(a) tree research plot at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, have requested continuation of the lease in the name of the University of California. The Chapman Forestry Foundation lease expires June 30, 1989. The University would like to continue the variety trial planting program at White Slough for the period of July 1, 1989 to June 30, 1997. Because of the long-term nature of the tree research, the University needs relatively long commitments and lead time in order to plan their trial planting program. The concept of this Lease Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The current lease has no rental amount and the proposed lease would also have no rental amount for the 1.1 acres involved. Council approved the subject agreement and authorized the City Manager and City Clerk to execute it on behalf of the City.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY AND THE CITY OF LODI FOR CHARGES BY THE COUNTY FOR COLLECTION OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS APPROVED RES. NO. 87-78 Council was apprised that Government Code Section 51800 allows counties that collect property taxes for cities to CC -7(b) charge cities a fee for collection of special assessments. CC -10(d) Presently the City of Lodi has two special assessment CC -10(e) districts: Turner/Cluff Assessment District and The United Downtown Assessment District Beautification Project.

While the Commission is quite familiar now with this request, the City Council has not yet had the opportunity to consider this proposal in depth. With this in mind, the City Manager stated that he has scheduled this topic for the "Shirtsleeve" session of July 7, 1987. Council set August 5, 1987 as the date for a public hearing to receive public input regarding the request of the Lodi Boys' and Girls' Club for a ground lease in Blakely Park on which to site a permanent facility for that organization. STATUS REPORT REGARDING BOATING ON LODI LAKE At its regular meeting of June 17, 1987, the City Council heard a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation CC -27(c) Commission to prohibit the operation of motorized boats on CC -40 Lodi Lake. This recommendation was developed following two public meetings the Commission conducted on this matter. A number of people concerned about the possible prohibition of motorized boats on Lodi Lake addressed the Council at the June 17, 1987 meeting and presented a petition signed by over 400 people supporting the continued operation of motorized boats on the Lake. At the conclusion of a lengthy discussion, the City Council referred this matter back to the Parks and Recreation Commission with the instruction to explore the possibilities of a compromise solution. This issue has been referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission and that body will again consider it at its regular meeting of July 7, 1987. City Manager Peterson Continued July 1, 1987 79 advised that on the assumption that a recommendation to the Council will be forthcoming from that meeting, the topic has been agendized for the regular City Council meeting of July 15, 1987.

COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON AGENDA ITEMS There were no persons in the audience wishing to address the Council under this segment of the agenda. REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER REGULAR CALENDAR PURCHASE OF BLEACHERS FOR SOFTBALL COMPLEX APPROVED Council was apprised that the Softball Complex will experience a Regional 18 and Under Qualifying as well as CC -20 the National 18's Fast Pitch Girls' Tournaments later this summer, which could bring in crowds in excess of 1,000 to 3,000 or more per evening at the complex facility. Staff therefore requested that Council under the "Emergency Purchasing" provisions of the Lodi Municipal Code authorize the purchase of six sections of nine row bleachers for the Lodi Softball Complex. Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, approved the purchase of the requested bleachers under the "Emergency Purchasing" provisions of the Code, and appropriated $16,000 from the Capital Outlay Reserve for this purchase. Continued July 1, 1987 Is REVIEW OF LAKESHORE DRIVE TRAFFIC STUDY Council was reminded that, at the Regular Council Meeting of June 3, 1987, the City Council received a petition PRS. NO. C7-84 bearing over 200 signatures requesting various traffic controls at Lakeshore Village. At the request of the City CC -48(a) Council, staff performed a traffic control study in the CC -48(h) subject residential area. The study included 24-hour vehicle counts, radar speed surveys, safe approach studies, and an accident review. The Caltrans multi -way stop warrants were used to evaluate proposed multi -way intersections. There are no guidelines in the Caltrans Traffic Manual to evaluate one- and two-way yield and stop intersections. Many agencies (including Lodi) use the safe approach methods from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Staff indicated that the following study includes the safe approach method and another FHWA method for determining right-of-way controls on low volume streets. The majority of the streets intersecting Lakeshore Drive are low volume streets (less than 500 vehicles per day). The results of the study are as follows: Stud I - Re nest for four-waystopsigns at Lakeshore Drive and Timber ake Circle RESULTS: Multi -way stop signs are not warranted Two-way stop signs on Timberlake Circle at Lakeshore Drive are justified using the safe approach and low volume methods. Study 2 - Request for three-way stop signs at Lakeshore Drive and Newport Drive RESULTS: Multi -way stop signs are not warranted A yield sign on Newport Drive at Lakeshore Drive is justified using the safe approach method. Study 3 - Request for speed limit signs on Mills Avenue S/Kettleman Lane and Lakeshore Drive S/Kettleman Lane and E/Mills Avenue RESULTS: The City's policy has been to post streets with speed zones other than 25 mph unless the speed limit is 25 mph resulting from a speed survey study. Both of these streets have prima facie speed limits of 25 mph. To be consistent with the rest of the city, staff does not recommend installing speed limit signs. Staff received complaints from residents regarding high speed vehicles occurring Friday and Saturday evenings. The Police Officers have increased enforcement on both streets and they noticed the majority of the speeders are residents returning home from work. 9 Continued July 1, 1987 Study 4 - Request for three-way stop signs at Mills Avenue and Lakeshore Drive RESULTS: Multi -way stop signs are not warranted as shown in Exhibit presented to Council. Because of the volumes and design of the streets in the area, staff recommends establishing Mills Avenue as a through street from Kettleman Lane to Harney Lane. City Council adopted the Specific Plan for Mills Avenue from Kettleman Lane to Harney Lane by Ordinance No. 1218. This ordinance adopted Mills Avenue as a collector street (street width - 44 feet curb -to -curb). Mills Avenue has a traffic volume of 3,100 vehicles per day. By establishing Mills Avenue as a through street, the Public Works Director can install stop signs on the minor streets intersecting Mills Avenue without further City Council approval. Study 5 - Request for yield signs on the following streets: Willow Point Court at Lakeshore Drive Windjammer Court at Lakeshore Drive Cape Code Circle both at Lakeshore Drive RESULTS: Yield signs are not justified at the above locations due to the low street volumes, no accidents, and no apparent sight problems. Lakeshore Drive - General - The accident and speed data do not indicate a serious problem on Lakeshore Drive. However, due to the volumes and the street curvature, it is recommended a centerline be installed with the next striping contract. This may slightly reduce speeds as drivers will tend to follow the centerline rather than cutting across the curves. The staff report was presented by Public Works Director Ronsko and Chief Civil Engineer Richard Prima. A lengthy discussion regarding the report followed with questions being directed to staff. The following persons addressed the Council regarding the matter: 1) Cindy McCarty 1705 Cape Cod Circle Lodi, CA 2) Rita Padilla 1748 Cape Cod Circle Lodi, CA 3) Harold Ellison 1851 Lakeshore Drive Lodi, CA 4) James Coward 1756 Cape Code Circle Lodi, CA 5) Marlene Chapple 1724 Cape Cod Circle Lodi, CA 10 Continued July 1, 1987 Am 6) Larry Krokstrom 1714 Windjammer Court Lodi, CA Staff indicated that its recommendations regarding the matter, based on the results of the study, are: 1) Adopt a resolution establishing Mills Avenue as a through street; Z) Approve the installation of two-way stop signs on Timberlake Circle at Lakeshore Drive; 3) Approve the installation of a yield sign on Newport Drive at Lakeshore Drive; and 4) Approve centerline striping on Lakeshore Drive. Following additional discussion, Council Member Reid moved adoption of Resolution No. 87-84 approving the Staff's recommendations as set forth above. Mayor Pro Tempore Snider seconded the motion indicating that he would like to take it one step further though in that he would like to see a policy established for the City with regard to residential streets coming off of collector street with high rates of speed. Mayor Pro Tempore Snider stated that he would like to see speed limit signs set there; however he feels the Council needs to set a policy so it is consistent throughout the community. Following additional discussion, Public Works Director Ronsko indicated that Staff would review the request and bring back a proposed policy to the Council within 30 days. Mr. Ronsko indicated, however, that he would want the policy to include all streets whether they be residential or not. The motion was restated that "Council adopt the Staff recommendations". Council concurred with the language of the motion and it carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members - Pinkerton, Reid, Snider, and Olson (Mayor) Noes: Council Members - Hinchman Absent: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - None Further, Council directed the City Manager to insure that good enforcement is provided in the subject area. RECESS Mayor Olson declared a five-minute recess and the Council Meeting was reconvened at approximately 9:15 p.m. 11 Continued July 1, 1987 COUNCIL RESCINDS EARLIER ACTION REGARDING THE MOVING, AT THE CITY'S EXPENSE, THE ELECTRIC METER AND MAIN BREAKER SERVING 1720 SOUTH MILLS FROM 1726 SOUTH MILLS TO THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE GARAGE AT 1720 SOUTH MILLS City Manager Peterson presented the chronology of events involving an electric meter and panel box on the property CC -16 at 1720 South Mills Avenue. This problem arose as a result CC -51(d) of the somewhat unusual subdivision pattern in this area and the desire of a property owner building a house to position the garage on the north side rather than the south side of the lot. The neighbor to the south did not want to adjust his fence line and the result would have been that the electric meter and panel box at 1720 South Mills would have been situated behind a fence which is a violation of the City Code. The resulting stalemate ultimately was addressed at a special meeting of the City Council on April 28, 1987. At the conclusion of the presentation by both parties involved, the City Council directed that the electric meter and panel box at 1720 South Mills Avenue be relocated from the south side to the north side of the house at City expense. As a result of some statements made by the adjoining property owner to the south (Mr. Robert Marti) it was assumed that there might be some softening of position. Shortly thereafter the Marti house was placed on the market for sale. In the hope that an agreement might be reached between the property owner at 1720 South Mills Avenue (Ms. Fuller) and whoever the new property owner at 1726 South Mills Avenue might be, the meter relocation was put in a "hold" mode. Following the City Council's direction, the ultimate action would have been the meter relocation, and, had the new property owner's position been the same as the previous property owner, the meter and panel box would have been moved at City expense. However, the new property owner and Ms. Fuller quickly reached agreement regarding an adjustment to the fence line so that the meter and panel box as positioned on Ms. Fuller's house would not be behind a fence. The City Council received a memo on this issue prepared by the City Attorney. Attached to that memo was a copy of a letter from the new owner (Mr. Donald P. Kundert) advising the City of that agreement. Assuming the sale will be consummated, the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both property owners and the City avoided the expenditure of approximately $2,000. In view of the fact that the direction to relocate the meter and panel box is still in effect, it would be appropriate for the City Council to rescind that action. Following discussion, with questions being directed to Staff, Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, rescinded the earlier action it had taken regarding the moving, at the City's expense, of the electric meter and main breaker serving 1720 South Mills from 1726 South Mills to the northwest corner of the garage at 1720 South Mills. 12 Continued July 1, 1987 REQUESTS FOR MEASURE "A" ELECTIONS - NOVEMBER 3, 1987 W RES. NO. 87-81 Following introduction of the matter by City Manager Peterson, Community Development Director Schroeder reported CC -18 that Measure "A", the Greenbelt Initiative, as adopted by the electorate on August 25, 1981, requires that any additional area to be placed on the Land Use Element of the General Plan be approved by a vote of the people.
