NO. 87-123 Council adopted Resolution No. 87-123 approving the 410' "No Parking" zone on the north side of Turner Road, east of CC -48(e) Lower Sacramento Road, and the 290' "No Parking" zone on the south side of Turner Road, east of the existing "No Parking" zone. Council was apprised that currently, Turner Road from Lower Sacramento Road to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks, is being improved to provide additional lanes. The "No Parking" zone is recommended to accommodate the new striping plans which was presented for Council's perusal. "NO PARKING" ZONE ESTABLISHED ON TURNER ROAD AT LODI LAKE PARK RES. NO. 87-124 Council was apprised that the Public Works Department received a request from a Police Officer to replace the CC -48(e) "Passenger Loading" zone with a "No Parking" zone at the Lodi Lake Park. The Officer felt there was a sight problem when vehicles park in the "Loading" zone. The "Loading" zone was installed in 1972. The time restrictions for the "Loading" zone are from 10:00 a.m, to 6:00 p.m. for any day, except Sundays and holidays. Staff performed a sight distance analysis at the park exit and it was determined that replacing the "Loading" zone with a "No parking" zone would improve the sight distance. The Park Ranger agrees with changing the "Loading" zone to a "No parking" zone. Apparently, the majority of the loading/unloading is now done in the parking lot since vehicles are parked in the "Loading" zone all day on Sundays and holidays. The motorists wishing to unload/load passengers are allowed to enter the park area without paying fees. Staff recommends replacing the "Passenger Loading" zone with a "No Parking" zone to improve the sight distance and because the "Loading" zone is not needed outside the park area. Council adopted Resolution No. 87-124 replacing the "Passenger Loading" zone with a "No Parking" zone on Turner Road between the entrance and exit of Lodi Lake Park. AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF LODI AND GEORGE SAKURAI AND KEN WOLLENBERG TO OPERATE THE GOLF DRIVING RANGE LOCATED AT 531 EAST LOCKEFORD STREET, LODI, APPROVED Council approved the agreement between the City of Lodi and George Sakurai and Ken Wollenberg to operate the Golf CC -27(b) Driving Range located at 531 East Lockeford Street, Lodi, and authorized the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the subject agreement on behalf of the City. i'i V Continued September 16, 1987 PUBLIC HEARING SET FOR SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1987 TO CONSIDER ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION AND PREZONINGS REGARDING VARIOUS MEASURES APPEARING ON THE NOVEMBER 3, 1987 BALLOT Council set public September 30, 1987 the prezonings for measures: CC -18 CC -53(a) CC -53(d) hearings for 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, for the environmental documentation and the following November 3, 1987 ballot 1. CENTURY MEADOWS, a proposed 160 acre single-family residential project and an addition to Park -Storm Basin G bounded by Century Boulevard on the north; the Woodbridge Irrigation District Canal on the east; Harney Lane on the south; and Park -Storm Drainage Basin G on the west; 2.

At its meeting of Monday, September 14, 1987, the Planning Commission will make its recommendation on these projects which will be presented to the Council at the Special Session of September 30, 1987. After the Council makes the final determination on these projects, the Planning Commission, sometime in October, will approve the Tentative Subdivision Maps. AGREEMENT WITH KOREAN PROFESSIONAL BUILDING MAINTENANCE AMENDED TO INCLUDE CUSTODIAL SERVICES AT THE FINE ARTS BUILDING CC -6 CC -90 The addition of the recently -completed Fine Arts Building to the Hutchins Street Square complex has presented the need for regular janitorial services at the facility. Such services are presently being performed in all buildings other than the Fine Arts Building by a Parks and Recreation Department employee who is assigned to Hutchins Street Square on a part-time basis. This employee will continue to perform certain landscape and other maintenance functions, but will be relieved of the custodial assignments he is now performing. This will free up some time which will be reallocated to park maintenance functions as assigned. City Manager Peterson advised Council that the City had solicited and received from the City's contract janitorial service a bid for performing all custodial services at Hutchins Street Square. The bid is for the maximum of Continued September 16, 1987 daily service. In reality, the services in some areas will not be needed daily and appropriate adjustments in the billing will be made. Additionally, renters of the various buildings will have included in the rental figure, an amount to recover the custodial service for that event. It is the City's goal to recover a substantial amount of the cost of performing this service. Council approved an amendment to the City's janitorial services contract with Korean Professional Building Maintenance to provide for janitorial service in the Fine Arts Building. WHITE SLOUGH NO. 4 (NON-CONTIGUOUS) ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF LODI APPROVED RES. NO. 87-125 Council was apprised that the White Slough No. 4 Annexation application was filed with the Local Agency Formation CC -8(a) Commission by submittal of Resolution No. 87-64 adopted June 17, 1987 proposing to annex 493 acres of non-contiguous, city -owned property. The territory is a portion of the City's White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility located on both sides of the I-5 freeway, one mile south of State Highway 12, about five miles west of Lodi. State law allows a city to annex non-contiguous territory provided that it is owned by the City and is used for municipal purposes. Although there is a 300 acre limit for most uses, a recent change allows for annexation of unlimited acreage if the property is used for wastewater treatment or disposal. The City of Lodi's White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility encompasses about 760 acres. Most of the site is used for disposal of wastewater through spray irrigation. The City has previously annexed 270 acres which includes the treatment plant. This proposal would annex the remainder of the qualifying property. The proposed annexation is divided into three separate areas by I-5 and the frontage road. It includes territory in both the Woodbridge Fire District and the Delta Fire District. Because of the distance from Lodi, it is proposed that the property remain in the districts for fire protection. The purpose of the annexation is to allow city jurisdiction over the city -owned property and to allow the property to be removed from the property tax roll. No special districts would be significantly affected by the annexation. Following a public hearing, regarding the matter held on August 21, 1987 before LAFCO, the Local Agency Formation Commission of San Joaquin County determined and ordered the following; Section 1. The White Slough No. 4 (non-contiguous) annexation is approved subject to certain terms and conditions. Section 2. The boundaries are approved as set forth in an exhibit presented for Council approval. Section 3. The territory proposed to be annexed is uninhabited. I Continued September 16, 1987 Section 4. The territory is owned by the City of Lodi, is being used for wastewater treatment or disposal. Section 5. The City of Lodi is designated as the conducting agency and is authorized to complete proceedings for non-contiguous annexation without notice and hearing in accordance with Section 57002 (b) of the Government Code. Council adopted Resolution No. 87-125 approving White Slough No. 4 (non-contiguous) annexation to the City of Lodi. COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS UPDATE REQUESTED ON REFUSE COLLECTION SYSTEM STUDY Following a request by Council Member Reid, City Manager Peterson gave a status report on the evaluation of the City CC -54 of Lodi's existing refuse collection system which is being conducted by the firm of Eljumaily-Butler Associates. TIME LINE REQUESTED ON CITY'S GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Council Member Hinchman expressed his concern about the timing on the General Plan update and indicated that he CC -53(a) felt that a time line is needed by the Council regarding the matter. FIELD AND FAIR DAY APPLAUDED Mayor Pro Tempore Snider congratulated all those who had contributed in making the 8th Annual Field and Fair Day CC -9 such a success. CLOSURES OF HALE PARK RECREATIONAL FACILITY BUILDING ANNOUNCED City Manager Peterson announced the closing of the Hale Park Recreational Facility Building because of structural CC -14(a) deficiencies. Mr. Peterson further advised that the City CC -40 is retaining a structural engineer to attest to the integrity of the structure. Activities that had been scheduled for the building are being rescheduled to other facilities wherever possible.

NO. 87-127 Council was reminded that at the last regular Council meeting of September 2, 1987, the City Council reviewed a CC -6 Council Communication which recommended curb and gutter CC -16 improvements on Pine Street, widening the east side of CC -45(a) Stockton Street to ultimate width, and relocation of the CC -45(e) bus loading zone from Pine Street to Stockton Street. At this meeting, the Council gave direction to staff to move ahead with the proposed street improvements, including the widening of Stockton through the frontage of the bus depot property, and to re-agendize the relocation of the bus loading zone. The Council asked that staff meet with the owners of the Lodi Greyhound Bus Depot to determine their concerns on the proposed relocation of the bus loading zone. When the owners were asked where they preferred the bus loading zone, they indicated "makes no difference to us". Staff then talked to the owner's supervisor, Pamela Arlett, from the Greyhound Lines office in Sacramento. Her comment was that loading on Stockton Street was originally their preferred location. Presented for Council's perusal was a plan which showed the existing bus routes to and from the Lodi Greyhound Bus Depot. It was the feeling of Greyhound Lines that, with the proposed relocation of the bus zone, there would be no reason to change the bus routes. The owners indicated that if the loading zone was changed to Stockton Street, the only physical change to the building may be the addition of a doorway on the Stockton Street side. Following discussion, Council on motion of Council Member Reid, Pinkerton second, adopted Resolution No. 87-127 relocating the existing bus loading zone on Pine Street to Stockton Street. Staff was directed to notify all property owners in the immediate area of the change. 1.'4'4 Continued September 16, 1987 TYPES OF POWER CRAFT TO BE ALLOWED ON LODI LAKE DETERMINED BY COUNCIL City Manager Peterson reported that following a number of discussions with Parks and Recreation Department staff and CC -40 Mr. Adam Farell of Lodi, a gentleman who has attended all boating meetings with the Commission and Council as well as being the owner/operator of a boating business, it is recommended that V -drive and inboard jet boats be the only crafts banned from launching and using Lodi Lake facilities. Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Hinchman second, Council ordered posting of signs at Lodi Lake prohibiting the operation on the lake of the following types of boats: V -drive Inboard jet ACCEPTANCE OF PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITY MASTER PLAN At the Shirtsleeve Session of August 25, 1987, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan was presented to the City CC -14(a) Council by the Recreation and Parks Director and Morris and CC -40 Wenell Architects. The City Council is being asked to approve this Master Plan in order that the Public Works Department can proceed with the replacement of the water tank. A letter was presented from Maria Elena Serna requesting that the "several historically significant buildings" in the subject area be preserved. Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Reid second, Council approved and accepted the Parks and Recreation Facility Master Plan. Further, Council directed that the letter received from Maria Elena Serna be referred to the Lodi Arts Commission for its review and recommendation. ANTI-DRUG ABUSE GRANT APPLICATION APPROVED RES. NO. 87-126 Council was apprised that the Lodi Police Department requests approval to apply for a grant from the Office of CC -152 Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP). The proposal seeks CC -175 funding for the Anti -Drug Abuse Program in the amount of $300,000. The program includes four agencies: Lodi Police Department, Municipal and Superior Courts, the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office and San Joaquin County Probation Department. A cooperative effort targeted at apprehending and prosecuting offenders is the multi -agency goal. The grant provides personnel costs for two narcotics officers, one Deputy District Attorney, one half-time clerical position and one half-time probation officer, as well as an operating budget. The program is expected to run three years. No hard match is required for the first year application. OCJP anticipates that if federal funds are available in the future, projects receiving funding the first year will receive second year funding, contingent upon their successful completion of the first year. Second and third Continued September 16, 1987 COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PURCHASE FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT APPROVED CC -20 CC -47 year funding will be a non-competitive reapplication process. If the funding level decreases, the funding level of grant awards will be decreased. There may or may not be matches in subsequent years for the multi-component model. It will depend on the amount of federal funds available. OCJP is looking forward to a three-year program dependent upon the federal budget and federal funds. Police Captain Larry Hansen addressed the Council regarding the matter and responded to questions as posed by the Council. Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Reid second, Council adopted Resolution No. 87-126 authorizing the filing of an Anti -Drug Abuse Grant Application and authorized the Chief of Police to execute the subject document on behalf of the City of Lodi. Following introduction of the matter by City Manager Peterson and Assistant City Manager Glenn, Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, approved the purchase of the following computer equipment: FIRE DEPARTMENT 3 Personal Computers 3 Printers Peripheral equipment and Fire -aid software PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 1 System 36 Personal Computer 2 Personal Computers 2 Printers 3 Display Stations (Word Processors) Software Further, Council approved the appropriation of $42,000 to the Equipment Fund from the General Fund Operating Reserve to fund these acquisitions. The system for the Parks and Recreation Department will provide word processing capability to the entire staff similar to that in City Hall. Of equal importance, it will enable department personnel to computerize the scheduling of all sports activities, fields and facilities. The Parks Superintendent has a work management and scheduling program which requires a personal computer. The system for the Fire Department is a complete microcomputer system developed to satisfy all of the general computer needs of a modern fire department. It has a graphics system which overlays hydrants, water mains, target hazards and hazardous materials onto map pages. The system highlights by location high dollar loss, type of incident, hour of day or other criteria the Fire Chief may deem important. It also tracks hydrant maintenance, inspection and training, among other things. In addition, it possesses word processing capability and systems used for charting and matrixing investigations, project management and related activities. 1�J Continued September 16, 1987 DESIGNATION OF VOTING AND ALTERNATE VOTING DELEGATES FOR THE ANNUAL CONGRESS OF CITIES On motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, Council designated Mayor Olson as the Voting Delegate and Mayor Pro CC -6 Tempore Snider as the Voting Alternate for the Annual CC -7(r) Congress of Cities to be held in Las Vegas December 12 - 16, 1987. SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF ROUGH TERRAIN CRANE APPROVED The specifications for the purchase of a Rough Terrain Crane were presented for Council approval. Council was CC -20 informed that this machine will be used in the Electric CC -47 Utility Department for handling the increasingly larger transformers and vaults used on the system. At present, the City has no equipment capable of handling such material. For scheduled tasks, rental equipment has been utilized. However, under an emergency condition, in the event of a transformer failure at a larger commercial complex or an industrial customer, it is very unlikely that equipment can be made available within a reasonable period of time for restoration of service. The machine will also be used in the warehouse operation to handle the same type of equipment at time of receipt and again when issued. It is further anticipated that the unit will be used as other 'lifting needs' in various other City operations. Funding for this purchase was included in the Department's 1987-88 fiscal -year equipment budget. The estimated cost of this purchase is $165,000 with delivery expected in approximately two months. Discussion followed with questions being directed to staff on the matter. Questions were asked about the anticipated uses for this type of equipment and what past needs had been for the equipment as well. On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, Council approved the specifications for the purchase of a Rough Terrain Crane and authorized the advertising for bids thereon. Council Member Pinkerton asked that at the time the bids are presented to Council that a report be provided on the past needs for this type of equipment. ADJOURNMENT There being no furthen business to come before the Council, Mayor Pro Tempore Snider adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 30, 1987.
