AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES
BETWEEN THE CITY AND
NCPA FOR CONSULTING
SERVICES ON COOPERATIVE
ANALYSIS OF INTER-
CONNECTION AT 230 KV
WITH WESTERN AREA
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
NEAR LODI APPROVED
RES. NO. 87-90 Council was reminded that on June 3, 1987, the Lodi City
Council approved a Letter Of Agreement with Western Area
CC -11(d) Power Administration (WAPA) to provide a cooperative
analysis of interconnection at 230 kv with WAPA's
system near Lodi. Engineering services required during
fiscal year 1987-88 anticipated in that agreement amounted
to $125,000. Continued discussion and negotiation with
WAPA have resulted in the City acquiring the lead role in
project analysis and studies.
WAPA has agreed that sufficient expertise to accomplish
all phases of the project are available in the form of
Northern California Power Agency staff supplemented by the
consulting firm of Power Engineers, Inc.
The subject Agreement for Services is anticipated to cover
all activities necessary to produce required environmental
documentation for state and federal compliance and a
Facilities Development Report required by WAPA.
Environmental considerations must be dealt with initially
since they can ultimately be determined whether to proceed
further or not.
The cost for scheduled studies through the second quarter
1988 was included in the Electric Utility Department budget
for 1987-88.
Council adopted Resolution No. 87-90 approving Letter Of
Agreement between the City of Lodi and the Northern
California Power Agency for consulting services on
cooperative analysis of interconnection at 230 KV with
Western Area Transmission System near Lodi and authorized
the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the subject
agreement.
PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
PUBLIC HEARING the City Clerk, Mayor Olson called for the Public
TO CONSIDER NEW Hearing to consider a new traffic ordinance for the City of
TRAFFIC Lodi and the accompanying traffic resolution.
ORDINANCE
The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson. The
ORO. NO. 1402 staff report was presented by Public Works Director Ronsko
INTRODUCED and Chief Civil Engineer Richard Prima.
CC -48(a) Council was apprised that the proposed Traffic Ordinance
CC -149 and accompanying Traffic Resolution are being
CC -179 recommended for adoption for the following reasons:
1. Some sections of the present ordinance are obsolete
with respect to the California Vehicle Code and should
be revised or deleted.
Continued July 15, 1987
97
2. The City's present ordinance is written such that it
must be revised frequently in areas where the Vehicle
Code allows changes to be made by resolution or by
staff. By taking advantage of all or some of these
situations, Council and staff time will be saved and
there will be a small savings in actual expenditures
(i.e., publication of ordinances, revising code book).
Revision of the outdated ordinance has been
recommended by the Institute of Transportation Studies
under the auspices of the State Office of Traffic
Safety.
To accomplish the above, sample ordinances from the League
of California Cities and a model ordinance from the
Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works
Association were reviewed. The City's ordinance was
reorganized to follow the order of the applicable sections
of the model ordinance. Revisions were made to meet Lodi's
needs and the draft was reviewed by all affected
departments.
The major change is the use of the "Traffic Resolution".
It contains items now done by ordinance (one-way streets
and alleys, through streets, speed limits, prohibitions on
commercial vehicles, parking regulations). In general, it
includes all traffic restrictions which are controlled on
the street by signs. Citations can be issued under the
appropriate Vehicle Code section or the City ordinance
section requiring obedience to official traffic control
devices.
The resolution compiles other actions now done by separate
resolution. Its use will eliminate the need for frequently
revising the City Code in order to make changes in these
areas. In fact, some ordinances (i.e., through streets and
stop intersections) have not been placed in the Code
because of the difficulty and expense in revising the Code
with every change.
The ordinance was reviewed with the City Council at its
shirtsleeve meeting on June 23. It was noted that the
ordinance needed minor revisions and updating.
Councilmembers suggested some revisions. Staff was also
asked to hold a special meeting to discuss the sections on
truck routes with the local trucking industry. A meeting
field on July 7 was attended by nine representatives of
local trucking and construction firms. Most of their
comments have been incorporated into the revised
ordinance. The major change is the recommendation that
Turner Road be designated as a truck route. The
representatives all agreed that Turner Road should be
included and made some very good points. They included:
only one east -west route was proposed (Highway 12)
while four north -south routes were recommended;
- there are a number of businesses located east of Lodi
who transport materials to Woodbridge and areas west
of Lodi and thus would not be exempted as deliveries;
- the volumes and accident rates on Highway 12 are
higher than Turner Road.
Continued July 15, 1987
With the addition of Turner Road and the other routes
recommended by staff, the representatives agreed that Lodi
Avenue, Ham Lane, and Hutchins Street north of Highway 12
would not be needed as truck routes.
Additional changes made at the request of the trucking
industry include:
- a deletion of the section on hazardous materials - The
intent of this section will be adequately covered in
the new Fire Code. In addition, Federal and State
agencies are increasing regulation of hazardous
materials.
- clarification on abandoned vehicles - This section of
the ordinance was not intended to include trucking and
related industries. Wording was changed to make this
clear.
Tentative truck routes were reviewed and staff responded to
questions regarding the matter as were posed by the Council.
Mr. Prima presented the following options regarding the
proposed ordinance and Turner Road:
1. Adopt Ordinance and Resolution as is - Turner Road
becomes a truck route
2. Adopt ordinance and resolution except omit Turner Road
between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street, add
clarification on "direct route" - no through trucks on
Turner Road
Note: "Direct" route shall mean the shortest route on a
street as nearly perpendicular to the Truck Route as
practical except that vehicles shall not be required to
travel more than an additional 1 1/2 miles (one way) on a
Truck Route in order to comply with this section.
This exception shall also apply to truck trips originating
or ending at a lawfully conducted business within the City.
3. Adopt ordinance and resolution except omit Turner Road
between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street - few
trucks on Turner Road (if heavily enforced).
Mr. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi, urged
Council to establish Turner Road as a Truck Route.
Also speaking in support of designating Turner Road as a
Truck Route was:
Mr. Les Calkins, 19825 North Highway 99, Acampo
Mr. Tom Sweat, 210 South Ham Lane, Lodi,
The following persons spoke in opposition to designating
Turner Road as a Truck Route:
1) Mr. Lawrence Fowler, 927 Parkview Avenue, Lodi
2) Mr. James Linn, 1134 West Turner, Lodi

Continued July 15, 1987
Mr. Linn also read a letter from Art Mellor, 1008
Laurel Avenue, Lodi, who also opposed Turner Road being
designated a Truck Route

4) Mr. Jim Burlington, 802 West Turner Road, Lodi
5) Mr. Frank Garcia, 721 Willow Glen, Lodi
6) Ms. Donna Phillips, 1040 Laurel Avenue, Lodi

11) Ms. Helen Stevens, 616 West Turner Road, Lodi
12) Mr. Julius Weber, 416 West Turner Road, Lodi
13) Mr. Larry Roberts, 412 Tioga Drive, Lodi
Mr. Eric Van Hove, Plant Engineering Manager, representing
General Mills addressed the Council stating that they can
ask truckers not to use Turner Road, but they can not be
assured they will not do so. Mr. Van Hove asked the City
to work with General Mills and asked that their drivers
not be harassed. Mr. Van Hove concluded his remarks by
stating that they (General Mills) will ask their drivers
not to use Turner Road.
Mr. Mark Weber, 820 West Turner Road, Lodi, asked if truck
traffic on Turner Road would get worse if it is established
as a truck route.
Mr. Joe Giamnona, representing JSG Trucking Co., Inc.,
19400 North Highway 99, Acampo, addressed the Council
regarding his concerns regarding trucks being allowed to use
Stockton Street.
Mr. Bob Bird, 1117 Edgewood Drive, representing Claude C.
Wood Company, expressed his concern and posed questions as
to how this would impact construction deliveries.
There being no other persons in the audience wishing to
address the council, regarding the matter, the public
portion of the hearing was closed.
Following additional discussion, Council Member Hinchman
moved that Council approve Option 3 heretofore set forth -
"Adopt ordinance and resolution except omit Turner Road
between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street" but
comply with the other staff recommendations. The motion
died for lack of a second.
Following additional discussion, Council Member Reid moved
for introduction of Ordinance No. 1402 - entitled,
"Ordinance Regulating The Use Of and Traffic Upon The
Streets, Sidewalks, And Other Public And Private Places In
8
100 Continued July 15, 1987
the City Of Lodi; The Use, Parking, And Control Of Vehicles
Thereon: And Repealing Ordinance No. 493 And All Ordinances
And Parts Of Ordinances Amendatory Thereof And In
Conflict Herewith". The motion was seconded by Council
Member Hinchman and carried by a unanimous vote of the
Council.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, Council,
by the following vote, set forth its declaration of intent
to not designate Turner Road as a "Truck Route" from Lower
Sacramento Road east to Stockton Street:
Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Pinkerton, Reid,
and Snider
Noes: Council Members - Olson (Mayor)
Absent: Council Members - None

PUBLIC HEARING ON
SIDEWALK INSTALLATION
AT DEL RANCHO
MOTOR INN, 501
NORTH CHEROKEE
LANE
Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
affidavit of publication being on file in the office of the
CC -45(e)
City Clerk, Mayor Olson called for the public hearing to
hear and pass upon objections or protests raised by the
owner of the property on sidewalk installation at Del
Rancho Motor Inn, 501 North Cherokee Lane, Lodi.
Following introduction of the matter by the City Manager,
Public Works Director Ronsko apprised the Council that this
public hearing was set to hear objections from the property
owners required to install sidewalk on the Cherokee Lane
frontage of their property at 501 North Cherokee Lane.
On June 17, 1987, the City Council determined that sidewalk
should be installed on the property fronting the Del
Rancho Motor Inn. A Notice to Construct was sent to the
property owners requiring sidewalk construction to start
within 60 days. This is the only parcel on the west side
of Cherokee Lane between Lockeford and Pioneer which does
not have sidewalk.
The State of California Streets and Highways Code requires
that legislative bodies hear and pass upon objections at a
public hearing set no sooner than 10 days after giving
notice to the property owner. Notice was given on June 25,
1987.
There being no persons in the audience wishing to address
the Council regarding the matter, the public portion of the
hearing was closed.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, Council
overruled objections and determined that it is in the
public's best interest to have sidewalk at the subject
location and ordered that the installation be made pursuant
to the State of California Streets and Highways Code.

the Council that, towards the end of Council Member
CC -53(a)
Hinchman's term as Mayor, he appointed a ten member Task
CC -117
Force to make recommendations for an alternate to Measure
A, "The Green Belt Initiative". The Task Force has been
meeting on a regular basis for about a year and one-half
and, with the assistance of Ron Bass, a Consultant from
Jones and Stokes Associates, has come up with a series of
recommendations which will (1) control the rate of growth
and (2) outline the basis for a Growth Management System in
the Revised General Plan.
Measure A Task Force Chairman Ronald B. Thomas addressed
the Council regarding the preliminary report of the Measure
A Task Force and outlined the recommendations contained
therein. Mr. Thomas introduced other members of the Task
Force who were in the audience and responded to questions
regarding the subject as were posed by Council.
Council applauded the Task Force on its hard work and
dedication to this task.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Hinchman,
Reid second, Council accepted the report for filing and
referred the matter to the Planning Commission.
LOADING ZONE
ESTABLISHED AT
610 SOUTH FAIRMONT
AVENUE
RES. NO. 87-91
Council was apprised that at the June 17, 1987 Council
meeting, City Council requested staff to evaluate the
CC -48(d)
request for a loading zone at 610 South Fairmont Avenue.
The Administrative Assistant of the Bechthold
Convalescent Home requested the loading zone for the
purpose of loading freight and a handicapped student. The
written request stated the area has a high parking demand
and the vendors and school bus have difficulty loading and
unloading supplies and the student.
Staff verified the high on -street parking usage in the
area. The convalescent home has three on -street parking
spaces in front of the building and a driveway that can
hold approximately two vehicles. The driveway is not used
by the vendors due to the narrow width, and school buses do
not use driveways in the City limits unless they have a
turn -around (two driveways). To determine the most
appropriate zone, staff reviewed the following definitions
(VC 21458):
A yellow loading zone is for the purpose of loading or
unloading passengers or freight.
- A white loading zone is for the purpose of loading or
unloading passengers or depositing mail.
- A red zone indicates no parking, standing, and
stopping except a bus may stop in a red zone marked as
a bus loading zone. The City's bus loading zones are
usually adjacent to schools and bus stations.
Since a loading zone is needed for freight and for a
student, staff recommends installing a yellow loading zone.

The LUSD Transportation Center felt a 35' zone would be
appropriate for the school bus.
Staff recommends installing a 20' yellow loading zone south
of the driveway which will allow the school bus and vendors
to use the driveway width for maneuverability.
Council, on motion of Council Member Hinchman, Pinkerton
second, adopted Resolution No. 87-91 establishing a 20 foot
yellow loading zone south of the Bechthold Convalescent
Home driveway at 610 South Fairmont Avenue.
Council received a copy of a letter written by Mayor Olson
to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors member
William Sousa lending her support for expanded high speed
rail service in California. In that letter Mayor Olson
apprised Supervisor Sousa that this item would be placed
on this meeting's agenda for consideration by the City
Council. The AMTRAK San Joaquin Steering Committee is
meeting in Hanford July 16, 1987 and is desirous of
learning of the Council's support at that time.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second,
Council voted to support AB 971 and AB 980 and directed
the City Clerk to send a wire reporting this action to the
AMTRAK San Joaquin Steering Committee which is meeting in
Hanford July 16, 1987.
City Attorney Stein reported on a meeting held on June 8,
1987 in Sacramento comprised of Deputy Attorney General Ted
Prim, Mayor Evelyn Olson, City Clerk Alice Reimche, Lodi
News Sentinel Reporter Julie Schmit, and City Attorney
Ron Stein. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a
problem that came up at the June 3, 1987 Council meeting
regarding the ability of citizens and/or council to discuss
non-agendaed items under the requirements of the Brown
Act. As a result of that meeting City Attorney Stein
presented a number of recommendations to the City Council
for consideration.
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Snider, Reid second, Council introduced Ordinance No. 1403
entitled, "An Ordinance of the Lodi City Council Amending
Chapter 2.04 Of The Lodi Municipal Code Relating to Order
Of Business At City Council Meetings".
Further, Council limited to five minutes, the time allowed
per non -agenda item, for comments made by the public. This
would give the City Council ample time to determine through
discussion whether the "Comments by the Public" falls into
one of the exceptions to the Brown Act (Government Code
§54950 et seq.) under Government Code §54954.2, allowing
council to take action on the item by finding either:

a) that there was an emergency situation, or
b) that the need to take action on an item arose subsequent
to the agenda's being posted.
Further, Council directed the City Clerk to have printed on
the agenda itself, standard language advising the public of
the five-minute time limitation; as well as standard
language advising as follows:
"The City Council cannot deliberate or take any action on a
non -agenda item unless there is factual evidence presented
to the City Council indicating that the subject brought up
by the public does fall into one of the exceptions under
Government Code §54954.2 in that (a) there is an emergency
situation, or (b) the need to take action on the item arose
subsequent to the agenda's being posted.
"Unless the City Council is presented with this factual
evidence, the City Council will refer the matter to staff
for review and placement on a future City Council agenda."
Further, Council determined that, in an extreme case, to
allow for additional agenda items up to five days prior to
a city council meeting. This would require that the
additional agenda item also be posted within the
seventy-two hour limit as provided by Government Code
§54954.2, as well as included in the current agenda.
Finally, Council concurred that Council Members need to
contact the City Clerk to add any additional items or
reports under the council comments portion of the agenda,
unless the item falls into an exception under Government
Code §54954.2.
City Clerk Reimche reported that in preparing for the
November 3, 1987 Special Election, plans are being
formulated to consolidate the City's 35 precincts to 15.
The consolidation has been planned to provide easy access
to polling places, keeping in mind the total number of
registered voters residing in each consolidated area.
A diagram depicting the proposed 15 consolidated precincts
was presented for Council's perusal.
Further, in order to save dollars, it was proposed that
three-man election boards be used rather than the
traditional four -man boards. A roving precinct worker
will also be available to fill in where needed. A cost
savings of approximately $900.00 could be realized by
utilizing the smaller boards.
Council Member Hinchman indicated his concerns regarding
this proposal as follows:
1) that a larger voter turnout could be realized if the
full 35 precincts were used.
2) that it makes it difficult when precincts and polling
places are changed and voters are unsure of where they
vote

A lengthy discussion followed regarding the matter with
questions being directed to the City Clerk.
Council Member Hinchman then moved that there be no
consolidation of precincts and that the entire 35 precincts
be utilized for this election. The motion died for lack of
a second.
Following additional discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro
Tempore Snider, Reid second, Council approved consolidating
the City's 35 precincts for the November 3, 1987 election
to 15 precincts and authorized using three-man precinct
boards.
The motion 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
