IMPROVEMENTS UNDER
1987 ASPHALT
CONCRETE OVERLAYS
CONTRACT ACCEPTED
Council accepted the improvements under the "1987 Asphalt
Concrete Overlays, South Fairmont Avenue, West Lodi Avenue,
CC -90
and East Kettleman Lane" contract and directed the Public
Works Director to file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's Office.
The subject contract was awarded to Granite Construction
Company of Stockton on April 15, 1987 in the amount of
$56,268.50. The contract has been completed in substantial
conformance with the plans and specifications approved by
the City Council.
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. This development is located at
25 South Stockton Street. It is zoned M-1 and will be the
location of a metal building for commercial purposes.
SUNWEST UNIT NO. IV
MASTER STORM DRAIN
AGREEMENT APPROVED Mayor Pro Tempore Snider abstained from voting on the
following item because of a possible conflict of interest.
CC -46
Continued July 1, 1987
CC -176 Council approved the Master Storm Drain Agreement for
Sunwest Unit No. IV and directed the City Manager and City
Clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of the City.
Council was apprised that with the development of Sunwest
Unit No. IV, the subdividers are required to provide master
storm drain facilities for their development at no cost to
the City. The subdivider has constructed the master drain
line and a portion of G -Basin. Additional excavation will
be done at G -Basin with Sunwest Unit No. 9 and all
subsequent units. An agreement has been prepared under
which the master drain line will be credited toward the
master drain fees due from this subdivision. This
agreement is similar to the one for the Lodi Park West area
and includes provisions for repayment from other land in
the G -Basin area as it develops.
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.

PUBLIC HEARING SET
FOR CONSIDERATION
OF BOYS' AND GIRLS'
CLUB REQUEST FOR
SITE FOR NEW
FACILITY
Council was apprised that for the past six months the Parks
and Recreation Commission has had an on-going review of a
CC -27(a)
request of the Lodi Boys' and Girls' Club that the City
CC -27(c)
lease to the Club a corner (southeast) of Blakely Park for
CC -161
the construction of a permanent facility for that
organization. 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

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.

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

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

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.

Meeting was reconvened at approximately 9:15 p.m.

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.
