COMMENTS BY THE
PUBLIC ON NON
AGENDA ITEMS
INFORMATION
REQUESTED REGARDING
APARTMENT COMPLEX
BEING CONSTRUCTED
IN AREA OF HUTCHINS
STREET SQUARE Staff responded to a question raised by Ms. Vanadeane
Brooks, 9 North Rose Street, Lodi, regarding an apartment
CC -126 complex being constructed in the area of Hutchins Street
Square that the structure was exempt from the Eastside
Building Moratorium because of its funding with
Multi -family Housing Revenue Bonds.
PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published according to law, an
affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE the City Clerk, Mayor Olson called for the Public Hearing
to consider reintroduction of Ordinance No. 1402
CC -45(a) "Regulating the Use of and Traffic Upon the Streets,
CC -48(a) Sidewalks, and Other Public and Private Places in the City
CC -149 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" and the Accompanying Traffic Resolution.
The matter was introduced by Staff who advised the Council
that the need for a new Traffic Ordinance had been
discussed with the City Council at its shirtsleeve meeting
on June 23, 1987 and regular meetings on July 15 and August
5, 1987. The ordinance was introduced on July 15.
However, a number of revisions have been made and it should
be reintroduced. Briefly, the shortcomings of the existing
ordinance are:
- Obsolete sections and wording.
- Requires actions by ordinances that could be taken by
resolution.
Continued October 21, 1987
- Does not include authority for some types of traffic
controls.
- Requires Council action on many minor items that
should be handled by staff.
- Does not include provisions for STAR trucks as
required by California law.
- Is deficient in restrictions on trucks in residential
and commercial areas.
The first five deficiencies are handled by the rewritten
ordinance and the adoption of a Traffic Resolution. (The
resolution would be adopted when the ordinance is adopted,
after its introduction.) Truck and trailer parking is
prohibited off the established truck routes. None of these
changes have been controversial.
The sixth deficiency (trucks in residential areas) is being
handled in the new ordinance and resolution by the
establishment of truck routes. The recommended truck
routes were shown on an exhibit presented for Council.
This has been a source of major controversy focusing on
Turner Road, primarily the residential segment between
Mills Avenue and Church Street.
The trucking industry has expressed a need for Turner Road
for a number of reasons:
- It provides direct access to Woodbridge and I-5 from
the northeast part of Lodi.
- Without it, the only east -west route would be
Kettleman Lane.
- It is a direct route between Highway 99 and General
Mills.
- Without it, travel distances will increase, causing
additional congestion and air pollution.
Turner Road residents are opposed to the route. They fear
establishment of a truck route on Turner will:
Increase truck traffic.
Increase noise.
- Decrease safety.
- Lead to truck parking in front of residences.
Staff does not feel truck traffic will increase
significantly. As it stands now, all the trucks that want
to use Turner Road are using it. Since there are no other
through east -west routes in the area, it is unlikely there
are trucks that will be forced off other streets, onto
Turner Road, by the establishment of truck routes. The
only foreseeable increase will be due to overall increases
in traffic as the City grows and increases due to General
Mills expansion.
The proposed ordinance has been revised to implement new
State legislation regarding truck parking in residentially
zoned areas. In effect, truck parking will be prohibited
on the residential portions of truck routes, except while
making pickups or deliveries (Ordinance Section 13.4).
In addition to receiving comments from residents and
representatives of the local trucking industry, Staff has
participated in an informational meeting held by the
-'J 1
Continued October 21, 1987
Chamber of Commerce and has received comments from
Caltrans. In considering the overall Lodi street network
and impacts on businesses and traffic in Lodi, Staff feels
the recommended truck routes as shown on an exhibit
presented to Council should be adopted with the new Traffic
Ordinance. The actual routes are named in the resolution,
which will not be adopted until the ordinance is adopted at
the next Council meeting.

During the public hearing Mr. James Evans Burlington, 802
West Turner Road, Lodi presented the following letter:
"Dear Sirs and Madam:
The Lodi City Council has proposed an ordinance which would
authorize designation of Turner Road, City of Lodi, as a
truck route. Turner Road, within the Lodi city limits is
an east -west four lane road bisecting a residential area of
the city. Along with numerous single family dwellings
bordering Turner Road there is also a convalescent home,
Gross Convalescent Home, and a school, Lakewood Elementary
School. Also bordering Turner Road is Lodi Lake and the
connecting Wilderness Area, home to numerous native
wildlife including owls, egrets, and muskrats among
others. Foot traffic along Turner Road includes children
going to and from Lakewood and Woodbridge Schools and
elderly people in wheelchairs and walkers from both Gross
Convalescent Home and Arbor Convalescent Home.
It appears that the ordinance has been proposed without
prior certification and completion of an environmental
impact report as required by California public Resources,
code section 21151. The proposed ordinance is a project
within the meaning of California Public Resources code
section 21151 and is defined in California Public Resources
Code section 21065. (Also see 60 Ops. Atty. Gen. 335,
9/30/77.) The proposed ordinance has a significant effect
on the environment as defined in California public
Resources Code Section 21060.5 for the following reasons:
(1) increased truck traffic means increased noise thus
decreasing the enjoyment of the land by both residents and
the thousands of people using Lodi Lake each year; (2)
6
Continued October 21, 1987
increased truck traffic means increased noise affecting the
psychological well-being of nearby residents as well as the
children attending school; (3) increased truck traffic
means increased noise affecting suitability of the wildlife
area for native wildlife; (4) increased truck traffic means
increased air pollution affecting the health and well being
of the residents, school children and all native plants and
wildlife; (5) increased truck traffic would significantly
decrease local property values; (6) increased truck traffic
would pose increased threat of death or great bodily injury
to residents and school children who must cross the street;
(7) increased truck traffic would adversely affect areas of
historical or aesthetic significance such as Lodi Lake,
Lodi Lake Wilderness Area, and the new proposed Wine and
Roses County Inn --deemed by many a local historical site.
Although the trucking industry may profit from this
proposal, I urge the Lodi City Counsel to be concerned with
both dollars and sense, and to make the sensible and
fundamental interests of Lodi's resident, not the trucking
industry's, of primary concern. The proposal should be
defeated.
Sincerely,
s/James Evans Burlington"
There being no other persons wishing to address the Council
on the matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff, to the City Attorney and to those who had given
testimony.

CC -48(a)
Following receipt of a letter from Freeman and Brown
regarding Park Basin "C" acquisition of property, Council,
on motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, directed
the City Clerk to place this matter on the agenda for the
Regular Council Meeting of November 4, 1987.
Further, Council determined to hold an adjourned Regular
Meeting of the Council on Tuesday, October 27, 1987 at 7:00
a.m. which will consist of a "Closed Session" concerning
possible litigation regarding:
a) "C" Basin
b) Stapleton vs. City of Lodi
The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson. The
following staff report was given by Public Works Director
Ronsko:
At the regular Council meeting of September 2, 1987, the
City Council received a request regarding speed problems on
School Street. At the request of the City Council, staff
performed a traffic study on School Street in comparison to
similar streets in the area.
The study included 24-hour vehicle counts, radar speed
surveys, a four-way stop control study, and an accident
review.
The traffic data on Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and Church
Street north of Kettleman Lane, was compared to School
Street.
Continued October 21, 1987
Traffic Volume Counts
The daily traffic volume on School Street is 2,130
vehicles. The traffic volume on Church Street is more than
three times as much as School Street (6,710 vehicles per
day). Lee Street has 1,030 vehicles per day and Pleasant
Av@nue has 480 vehicles per day.
Radar Survey
The prima facie limit on Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and
School Street is 25 mph. Church Street from Kettleman Lane
to Tokay Street has a posted speed limit of 35 mph.
The results of the radar survey data showed that all three
25 mph streets have 85th percentile speeds greater than the
prima facie limits. The 85th percentile speed is the speed
at or below which 85% of the traffic is moving. This speed
is a major factor in determining posted speed limits.
Smaller speed samples were taken on Lee Street and Pleasant
Avenue due to the low traffic volumes. There could be a
slight variation in the speed results on Lee Street and
Pleasant Avenue due to the smaller speed samples.
Traffic Controls
The traffic controls for Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and
School Street are similar from Kettleman Lane to Vine
Street. At Vine Street, two-way stop signs are on Lee
Street and Pleasant Avenue. At School Street, the stop
signs are on Vine Street. The two-way stop signs at Vine
Street/School Street are appropriate since the percentage
volume split is 22/78. Four-way stop warrants are not
justified at this location.
Accident Review
Staff reviewed the accident location map to determine the
number of accidents on School Street from Kettleman Lane to
Vine Street. In the last two years and eight months
(January 1985 to August 1987), there have been a total of
eight accidents. An Exhibit presented for Council reviewed
indicated the approximate locations of these accidents and
others on Lee Street, Pleasant Avenue, and Church Street.
Two of the eight accidents had unsafe speed as the primary
collision factor. Of those two accidents, one was a
hit-and-run with no witnesses and the other accident
occurred because the driver fell asleep.
The primary solution to speed problems is police
enforcement. Staff recommends the Police Department
continue enforcement on School Street.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff.
The following persons address the Council regarding the
matter:
a) Robert Riggle, 712 Cross Street, Lodi
b) Joan Mattox, 829 South School Street, Lodi
Following additional discussion, Council on motion of
Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, adopted Resolution
No. 87-147 establishing the installation of north/south
stop signs on School Street at Vine Street.

PURSUANT TO AB

Council was apprised that this machine will be used in the
Electric 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 large 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.
This 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 at other 'lifting needs' in various other City
operations.
Following discussion, Council, on motion of Council Member
Pinkerton, Reid second, adopted Resolution No. 87-141
awarding the bid for the purchase of a Rough Terrain Crane
to Morgan Equipment Company in the amount of $157,924.10.
Council reviewed a recommended policy for annexations and
development proposals which was prepared by the City
Attorney.
The policy suggested that the City not accept any
applications for annexation until such time as the City's
Public Works Director can certify that the White Slough
Water Pollution Control Facility has the capacity to serve
any new developments. Council indicated its concern that
this be modified to indicate that the City not accept any
applications for annexation until such time as mitigating
measures have been addressed.
Further, the policy suggested that the City Council direct
staff to inform applicants for industrial or commercial
development, that they will be required to prepare
environmental documentation, and further to advise such
applicants that there is a good possibility that the City
will deny the application due to the wastewater treatment
plant over -capacity at this time.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Olson second,
Council concurred with heretofore stated policy.
RES. NO. 87-142 Council was apprised that in accordance with AB 2948, San
Joaquin County has notified the State Department of Health
CC -24(a) Services of its intent to prepare a Hazardous Waste
Management Plan. The Plan, which must be approved by a
majority of the Cities representing a majority of the
population within the County, must include:
a. Analysis of the hazardous waste stream.
11
Continued October 21, 1987
b. Description of existing hazardous waste facilities.
c. Analysis of potential for recycling hazardous waste
and reducing the volume and hazard at source of
generation.
d. Management of small volumes of hazardous waste.
e. Determination of need for additional hazardous waste
facilities.
f. Identification of proposed sites for new or expanded
hazardous waste facilities. In lieu of this, the plan
may include site selection criteria. If the latter
option is taken, the plan must also designate "general
areas" where the criteria may apply.
g. Statement of goals, objectives and policies for siting
of hazardous waste facilities and management of
hazardous waste.
h. Implementation Schedule.
i. Description of any additional programs.
It is estimated that the total direct cost to prepare the
plan is $161,000.00 which has been calculated as follows:
+ CHWMP Coordinator's Salary
$
60,000.00
+ Clerical Support
$
18,000.00

Total

The State will be funding $100,000.00 which leaves a
balance of $61,000.00. To pay for the balance the County
has recommended that the $61,000.00 be distributed between
the County and the six Cities based on the most recent
population percentages, as was the case with the County
Solid Waste Management Plan. Based on this formula, and
using 1986 population data, the estimated cost to the
County and each City is as follows:

RES. NO. 87-145 Associate Planner Rick Barnum advised the Council that, on
November 21, 1984, technical amendments to the Housing and
CC -55 Community Development Act of 1984 allowed the City of Lodi
to defer its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Entitlement City Status, thereby making it possible for San
Joaquin County to qualify as an urban county under the
Community Development Block Grant Program. Through the
deferral of its entitlement city status, the City of Lodi
experienced increased benefits in CDBG funding levels, and
was able to share burdensome administrative tasks with San
Joaquin County.
San Joaquin County is presently nearing the end of its
urban qualification period. In order for Lodi to continue
to participate in the CDBG program with San Joaquin County,
the certain Urban County Agreements were presented for City
Council adoption. The Urban County Agreements consist of
the following sample resolutions and associated documents:
1. Resolution deferring the status of the City of Lodi as
a metropolitan city under the Community Development
Block Grant Program.
2. Resolution authorizing execution of the Urban County
Cooperation Agreement, with said Cooperation Agreement
attached.
3. Resolution authorizing execution of the Urban County
Allocation Agreement, with said Allocation Agreement
attached.
For the forthcoming Urban County qualification period,
changes have occurred in the following areas:
Deferment
Federal legislation is pending to extend the deferral
provisions for entitlement cities like Lodi. In the event
the Federal legislation is not enacted, language is
included in the Cooperation Agreement which will allow Lodi
to retain its independent entitlement status. In 1984, the
deferment of Lodi's entitlement status was a prerequisite
in the formation of an urban county. In this forthcoming
qualification period, the County does not need Lodi's
deferment to qualify as an urban county. Nevertheless,
Lodi will continue to experience fiscal and administrative
advantages with its continued participation.
Cooperation Agreement
The Cooperation Agreement is essentially the same as that
executed three years ago. HUD has directed that certain
statements be added to the Cooperation Agreement regarding
pending Federal legislation for the Urban County Program,
equal opportunity, rear property acquisition, and program
income.

Continued October 21, 1987
Allocation Agreement
The allocation formula has been changed to exclude the age
of housing in the ratio allocation count. However,
pursuant to the Allocation Agreement, San Joaquin County
shall insure that Lodi shall receive an amount which is no
less than which it would have received had it maintained
its metropolitan city status. Also, the Allocation
Agreement has been revised to increase the administrative
set aside from five percent to six percent.
Following discussion, Council, on motion of Council Member
Pinkerton, Snider second, took the following actions

RES. NO. 87-146
Mr. Rick Barnum, Associate Planner, advised the Council
that in order to minimize the administrative weight
CC-
commonly associated with housing rehabilitation programs,
San Joaquin County has offered to provide key
administrative services for a mutually acceptable fee. The
scope of services offered by San Joaquin, as enumerated in
a Memorandum of Understanding presented for Council review
would serve to most efficiently implement Lodi's
rehabilitation Program.
Following discussion, with questions being directed to Mr.
Barnum, Council, on motion of Council Member Snider,

In evaluating this request, staff reviewed the existing
striping and curb markings in this area. Turner Road at
Stockton Street changes from five lanes (four through lanes
and a turn lane) to three lanes (two through lanes and a
turn lane). Staff felt it was appropriate to extend the
four lanes to Wintun Drive due to the high traffic volume
(11,300 vehicles per day). When the vacant commercial area
on the north side of Turner Road west of Highway 99
develops, the "no parking" area will be needed for turn
lanes.
Staff recommends installing a no parking zone from Stockton
Street to Highway 99 to accommodate the proposed through
lanes and the merge area. A no parking zone from Stockton
Street to Sacramento Street is needed to accommodate the
existing through lanes (14' wide).
Discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff.
On motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, Council
adopted Resolution No. 87-140 establishing a "No Parking"
zone on Turner Road from Sacramento Street to Highway 99
on-ramp. At the suggestion of Council Member Reid, Council
also directed staff to contact Cal Trans regarding the
possibility of lengthening the right turn pocket in the
subject area.

inspection by a licensed structural engineer was ordered
and the results of his inspection were presented for
Council's review.
The staff has met on this matter to discuss the removal of
certain equipment which can be used elsewhere in other City
facilities and everything which fits that category will be
removed prior to the demolition. The bulk of the
activities previously held in this facility have been
relocated to Hutchins Street Square.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Hinchman,
Snider second, Council ordered the demolition of the Hale
Park Recreation Building and directed staff to initiate the
proceedings. Further, Council re -appropriated the funds
that had earlier been approved for the painting of the
building to cover its demolition.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, Council
asked that the Parks and Recreation Commission and the
Parks and Recreation Department make recommendations as to
the future use of this site.

east of Stockton Street. These signs can be installed
without Council approval.

COUNCIL APPROVES
SENDING LETTER TO
LEGISLATORS
RELATIVE TO
SETTING NEW
DRINKING WATER
STANDARDS FOR
OIBROMOCHLORO-
PROPANE (DBCP)
Council was apprised by staff that the California
Department of Health Services (DHS) will be establishing a
CC -28
maximum contamination level (MCL) for DBCP in the near
CC -183(a)
future. Presently, the State has established an Action
Level (desirable level) on DBCP of 1.0 part per billion
(ppb). Currently, all of the City wells are under 1.0
ppb. It is staff's understanding that the MCL being
proposed is 0.1 ppb, which could affect 9 of 19 wells
(47.), depending on the time of year.
The City of Lodi has the following three major concerns:
1. That there is a public comment period prior to the
implementation of the new regulations;
2. That the City, as water purveyors, be given prior
notice of when the new regulations will become
effective; and
3. That the City, as water purveyors, be provided with
scientific data used to validate any MCL being
proposed.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member
Pinkerton, Snider second, Council approved forwarding
letters to legislators relative to setting new drinking
water standards for Dibromochloropropane (DBCP).
