AWARD CONTRACT FOR STORM DRAIN PUMP STATION ABANDON- MENTS, LOWER SACRAMENTO ROAD, 150' SOUTH OF LODI AVENUE TO LODI AVENUE Council adopted Resolution No. 87-160 awarding the contract for Storm Drain Pump Station Abandonments, Lower RES. NO. 87-160 Sacramento Road, 150' south of Lodi Avenue to Lodi Avenue to Crutchfield Construction in the amount of $10,532.00.

Plans and specifications were approved for this project on November 4, 1987. The City received the following 7 bids for this project: Continued December 2, 1987 BIDDER LOCATION BID Engineer's Estimate $ 8,480.00 Crutchfield Constr. Stockton $10,532.00 Ric's Excavators Dutch Flat $14,445.00 Ridge Underground Const. Citrus Heights $15,916.00 Transitional Srvs, Inc. Walnut Grove $16,200.00 Ford Construction Co. Lodi $18,632.00 Osborn General Eng. & Construction Chicago Park $19,600.00 Claude C. Wood Co. Lodi $26,358.00 An error in the pipe quantity was found in the Engineer's Estimate. This is why the amount budgeted is too low. The Engineer's Estimate above reflects the correct quantity with the original unit price. Also, due to a last minute change in the design, the estimated amount for the pump station abandonment was too low. It was decided to completely remove. the San Joaquin Co. pump pit since it is located in the area of a future curb return and would likely interfere with a future traffic signal foundation. Based on the range of the bids received and that Crutchfield Construction Co. has a good reputation in Lodi, Staff recommended the project be awarded to Crutchfield Construction Co. The additional City cost will be charged to the miscellaneous storm drain account. San Joaquin County Public Works has given verbal approval to proceed. City will hold off on signing the contract pending written confirmation. IMPROVEMENTS UNDER LINCOLN AVENUE STORM DRAIN OUTFALL STRUCTURE CONTRACT, LOCATED 550 FEET NORTH OF TURNER ROAD ACCEPTED Council accepted the improvements Under "Lincoln Avenue Storm Drain Outfall Structure Contract", Located 550 Feet CC -90 North of Turner Road and directed the Public Works Director to file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder.

The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by the City Council. The contract completion date was November 6 and the actual completion date was November 11. The final contract price was $18,936.00. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is mainly due to $100 in liquidated damages.

TITLE CHANGE AND MODIFICATION OF CLASS SPECIFI- CATIONS FOR SENIOR LABORATORY TECHNICIAN APPROVED Council approved the title change and modification of the class specifications for Senior Laboratory Technician. Cc -34 It was Staff's intent to modify the class specifications for the Senior Laboratory Technician and change the title to Laboratory Services Supervisor at the time the class specifications for the Water/Wastewater Inspector were adopted. However, these changes were inadvertently omitted. The changes to the specifications reflect the additional supervisory responsibilities and technical skills now required. This position will also be required to have three years of experience in a water/wastewater laboratory rather than the previously required two years. The applicant must have or obtain within 24 months of appointment a Grade II Industrial Waste Inspection Certificate in addition to the Grade II Laboratory Analyst and Grade I Operator's Certificates which are required of the Senior Laboratory Technician.

Request proposals from a variety of architectural firms for the completion of the working drawings for the senior/well-care complex. 2. Use the five -member Senior Planning Committee, which serves under the direction of the Senior Citizens Commission, as an ad hoc review team for the development of the plans. 3. Architectural fees advanced from the City upon the selection of an appropriate design team. These funds would be rebated immediately when the estate is settled. A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tempore Snider that Staff proceed with the development of a recommendation of an architectural firm for the completion of the working drawings of the senior well -care complex to be funded through the bequest of the William Holz estate. The motion was seconded by Mayor Olson and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Pinkerton, Reid, Snider and Olson (Mayor) Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None APPROVED CONVERSION OF "YIELD" SIGNS TO "STOP" SIGNS ON DAISY AVENUE AT PLEASANT AVENUE Due to numerous accidents at the corner of Daisy Avenue and Pleasant Avenue, Public Works staff performed an CC -45(a) intersection study and, based on the accident records and CC -48(i) traffic volumes, staff recommended converting the "yield" signs to "stop" signs on Daisy Avenue. Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second, Council approved the conversion of "yield" signs to "stop" signs on Daisy Avenue at Pleasant Avenue. The motion carried by the following vote: 7 Continued December 2, 1987 Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Pinkerton, Snider and Olson (Mayor) Noes: Council Members - Reid Absent: Council Members - None On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second, Council approved revising the order of the Agenda to adopt the following traffic ordinance due to the fact that it relates to items on the Agenda regarding conversion of yield signs to stop signs on Daisy Avenue at Pleasant, speed limits on Beckman Road, Century Boulevard, Lodi Avenue, Lower Sacramento Road north of Turner Road, Mills Avenue, Victor Road, Vine Street and the adoption of the traffic resolution. ORDINANCES Council on motion of Council Member Reid, Snider second, adopted Ordinance No. 1410 entitled "An Ordinance of the ORDINANCE OF LODI Lodi City Council Adding Chapter 10.52, Section CITY COUNCIL ADDING 10.52.010 through 10.52.070 to the Lodi Municipal Code, CHAPTER 10.52, Regulating Vehicles and Traffic Upon the Streets Within the SECTION 10.52.010 City of Lodi". THROUGH 10.52.070 TO THE LODI The motion carried by a unanimous vote of the Council. MUNICIPAL CODE Council was reminded that at its October 21, 1987 meeting, ORD. NO. 1410 the City Council introduced the new Traffic Ordinance ADOPTED excluding the section on regulation of commercial vehicles. Staff was directed to return with an ordinance CC -45(a) covering commercial vehicles but not to include CC -48(a) establishment of truck routes. CC -149 On November 18, the proposed ordinance on commercial vehicles was introduced.• It contains the following sections: 10.52.010 - Allows establishment of prohibitions of commercial vehicles and/or vehicle weight limits. This is essentially the same as the old City Code except the actual streets would be named in the Traffic Resolution. 10.52.020 - Allows posting of signs on streets accessible to STAR (extra -length) trucks. The actual streets would be named in the Traffic Resolution. 10.52.030 - Requires vehicles to comply with signed restrictions. 10.52.040 - Allows Public Works Director to issue special permits. These include STAA trucks on streets not signed, house moving, other large loads, etc. 10.52.050 - Prohibits commercial vehicles over five tons from parking in residential areas. 10.52.O60 - Prohibits parking of detached trailers except for loading/ unloading and certain circumstances; does not apply to small (utility) trailers or travel trailers. 10.52.070 - Exempts certain vehicles per the Vehicle Code. Section 10.52.050 regarding truck parking has been reworded to clarify the points raised by the public and the City Council on November 18, 1987. It specifically indicates "R-" zoned districts. It also lists the nonresidential uses that are allowed in residential zones and indicates they are considered part of the residential district. 8 t � Continued December 2, 1987 Thus, truck parking would be prohibited in front of a park or school in a residential area. It would be allowed in a park in an industrial area such as C -Basin. Since this modification is a clarification and does not change the intent of the ordinance as introduced, it was recommended that the ordinance be adopted without reintroduction. SPEED LIMITS ON BECKMAN ROAD, CENTURY BOULEVARD, LODI AVENUE, LOWER SACRAMENTO ROAD NORTH OF TURNER, MILLS AVENUE, VICTOR ROAD, AND VINE STREET APPROVED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SECTION ON LOWER SACRAMENTO ROAD TO HAM ON WEST LODI AVENUE Council was apprised that based on Vehicle Code Section 40802, in order to use radar enforcement it is necessary to CC -45(a) conduct engineering and traffic studies every five years on CC -48(a) "non local" streets. "Non local" streets are the collector and arterial streets shown on the Federal Aid System Maps. The engineering studies include measurement of prevailing speeds by a radar survey and review of accident data. The Public Works staff has recently updated the engineering studies for seven streets. The recommendations have been reviewed with the Police Department. Staff requests that Council simply approve the speed limits indicated. The actual establishment of the limits is contained in the Traffic Resolution to be adopted later in the December 2 meeting. If Council approves changes to any of the recommended limits, they will be similarly changed in the Traffic Resolution. However, such changed limits will not be radar enforceable. Following discussion with questions being directed to Staff Council on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Reid second, approved the speed limits on Beckman Road, Century Boulevard, Lodi Avenue, Lower Sacramento Road north of Turner, Mills Avenue, Victor Road, and Vine Street with the exception of a section on Lower Sacramento Road to Ham on West Lodi Avenue. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members - Pinkerton, Reid, Snider and Olson (Mayor) Noes: Council Members - Hinchman Absent: Council Members - None ADOPTED TRAFFIC RESOLUTION RES. NO. 87-163 Following introduction by City Manager Peterson and presentation by Public Works Director Ronsko, Council on CC -48(a) motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Hinchman second, adopted Resolution No. 87-163 adopting the traffic resolution to become effective the dates of the enabling ordinances. Continued December 2, 1987 Council was apprised that adoption of the Traffic Resolution is the last step in the complete overhaul of the City's Traffic Code. The Traffic Resolution contains various rules and restrictions which must be signed. Except as set forth below, everything is the same as presently signed. Future changes will be made by amending the Traffic Resolution. The Traffic Code was adopted in two ordinances. The section governing commercial vehicles was introduced on November 18 and is being adopted at the December 2 meeting. The remainder of the Code was introduced and adopted on October 21 and November 4 respectively. The pertinent sections of the Traffic Resolution will become effective 30 days following the corresponding adoption date. In this way, all the signed restrictions will have continuous legal authority. The Traffic Resolution contains the following sections. Except as noted, everything is the same as presently signed. 1. One -Way Streets and Alleys 2. Through Streets, Stop and Yield Intersections - Daisy at Pleasant has been listed as a stop intersection. 3. Street Parking Restrictions - This includes the various time limited and miscellaneous parking zones. 4. Angle Parking Areas 5. Parking Lots - City operated public parking lots having restrictions are covered in this section. 6. Permit Parkin - The two permit parking areas cannery and downtown) are covered in this section. 7. Speed Limits - Changes in speed limits recommended ear i�'er in the December 2 meeting are included. If revised by the Council, the revisions will be incorporated here. 8. Weight Limit/Commercial Vehicle Restrictions - This section includes two of the three weight limits presently in effect (Tokay Street and Holly Drive). The third, Murray Street, was originally established to control truck parking in front of residences. This is now covered by the new ordinance; thus, the weight limit is not needed. The other two streets have a special problem with truck traffic and staff recommends they remain. 9. Miscellaneous Street Restrictions - This "catch-all" section includes street closings at schools. CITY OF LODI REHABILITATION PROGRAM ADOPTED Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Snider second, adopted the program policies, goals and procedural CC -55 guidelines, necessary to establish a framework through which the housing rehabilitation effort may be most effectively implemented. Item 2 b, "Deferred loans will have a zero interest rate and shall become due and payable upon change of ownership", under "Funding Resources", was omitted for staff evaluation under the City of Lodi Rehabilitation Program. 10 Continued December 2, 1987 Essential to the City's housing rehabilitation effort is the adoption of the City of Lodi Housing Rehabilitation Program. The program consists of policies, goals and procedural guidelines necessary to establish a framework through which the housing rehabilitation effort may be most effectively implemented. Specifically, the program's policies focus on the provision of Lodi's resources for the program, compliance with State and Federal requirements, and the intent to promote public health and safety. To implement such policies, the program establishes the primary goal to rehabilitate eligible single family, owner occupied structures within the east side low and moderate income target area. Serving to implement this goal is the provision of program procedural guidelines through which applicant eligibility, levels of financial assistance, and scope of rehab work activities are established. It is anticipated that periodic revisions may become necessary in order to assure continued program flexibility to meet community needs. Such program amendments will be subject to City Council review and adoption, with the exception of ministerial adjustments made by HUD relative to income eligibility requirements. PROPERTY REHABILITA- TION LOAN AGREEMENT ACCEPTED RES. NO. 87-164 Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Snider second, adopted Resolution No. 87-164 accepting the property CC -55 rehabilitation loan agreement as prepared by the Bank of America which is best suited to meet the needs of the City's housing rehabilitation program. Of the financial institutions that responded to the City's request for proposal for rehabilitation loan services, the Bank of America has been able to provide a rehabilitation loan program which is best suited to meet the needs of the City's housing rehabilitation program. Presented for Council review was a copy of the Bank of America's Property Rehabilitation Loan Agreement, prepared in final form for City review and adoption. Once executed, the following types of loans will be available to implement the City's housing rehab program: Collateralized Loans: The City collateralizes the loan based upon the level of risk the bank is willing to assume. Funding leverage is relative to the percent of bank risk assumed. Deferred Payment Loans The City approves the deferred loan based upon credit criteria established by the bank. The City establishes the terms and conditions of the loans in accordance with the City Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines. The bank disburses funds during the course of construction on behalf of the City. 11 Continued December 2, 1987 Interest Subsidy Loans Applicant would be subject to standard bank loan criteria. Bank assumes all risk on the loans. Level of interest subsidy is calculated by the bank. Although the subject agreement provides several loan options, the loan most appropriate for the individual applicant will be determined between the Bank of America and the City of Lodi. REALLOCATING FUNDS OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FROM MAIN STREET PROGRAM TO THE CITY HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM RES. NO. 87-165 Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, PAYMENT: Elections Code Section 10012 allows the city to estimate the cost of the Candidate's Statement and require each candidate filing a statement to pay in advance to the City his or her pro rata share as a condition of having his or her statement included in the voters pamphlet. The code establishes no guidelines for the clerk to follow to bill the candidates for costs exceeding the estimate but does require that refund of any unused deposit must be issued within 30 days of the election. Unless a court decides otherwise cities may continue to bill as in the past. The 12 adopted Resolution No. 87-165 reallocating $25,000 of CC -55 Community Development Block Grant funds from the Main Street Program to the City Housing Rehabilitation Program. Since the first half of the fiscal year did not experience any activity in the Main Street Program, the Community Development Department staff requested that the City Council proportionately reallocate half of the Main Street Program funds to the City Housing Rehabilitation Program. GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION APRIL 12, 1988 The 1988 General Municipal Election for two council seats will be held on Tuesday, April 12, 1988. The terms of CC -18 Council Members Hinchman and Pinkerton are expiring. By state statute a number of actions and decisions must be made by the Council prior to the opening of nominations (January 14, 1987): a) It is necessary that Council adopt a resolution calling for the election. b) The California Elections Code allows each candidate, for a nonpartisan elective office in a city, to prepare a statement to be included with the sample ballot and mailed to each registered voter. The law requires the council to adopt a policy no later than seven days before the nomination period opens regarding the candidate's obligation for payment for candidates' statements. The policy may also include the City's position on three additional aspects of the Voters Pamphlet mailing: PAYMENT: Elections Code Section 10012 allows the city to estimate the cost of the Candidate's Statement and require each candidate filing a statement to pay in advance to the City his or her pro rata share as a condition of having his or her statement included in the voters pamphlet. The code establishes no guidelines for the clerk to follow to bill the candidates for costs exceeding the estimate but does require that refund of any unused deposit must be issued within 30 days of the election. Unless a court decides otherwise cities may continue to bill as in the past. The 12 Continued December 2, 1987 cost of the Candidates' Statement may be borne by the city, the candidate, or the cost shared between them. (It should be noted that the city has in the past elected not to charge candidates for the cost of the Candidate's Statements). WORD LIMIT: The Council may authorize an increase in the limitation on words for the statement from 200 to 400 words. (It should be noted that the city has in the past elected not to increase the word limitation to 400 words). SPANISH LANGUAGE: The city may wish to include a summary of its policy regarding the Voting Rights Act in the policy resolution. (It should be noted that Federal Law does not require Spanish translations except to voters in four counties. San Joaquin County is not one of the four mandated counties. The City of Lodi has for many years undertaken an oral assistance program, which is recommended). By law, the City Clerk must issue a copy of the city policy relating to Candidates' Statements at the time nomination papers are issued. c) The City Council may adopt an ordinance requiring a filing fee, not to exceed $25.00, to be paid at the time nomination papers are filed. California courts have ruled that the City Clerk may not refuse to place a candidates name on the ballot due to an inability to pay the filing fee. If you cannot waive the fee, you must provide an alternative. Court guidelines are similar to Elections Code Section 6555 providing for the substitution of four signatures of registered voters for each one dollar of the filing fee, or 10% of the total of registered voters in the district in which he seeks nomination, whichever is less. The Council must take appropriate action to enact or repeal the filing fee ordinance sufficiently in advance of the first day of the nomination process. (It should be noted that the City has in the past determined that there will be no filing fee). d) State Statute allows the Council to set a limit on campaign contributions. (It should be noted that the City has in the past determined that no limit would be set on campaign contributions). CALL FOR APRIL 12, 1988 ELECTION RES. NO. 87-166 Council, on motion of Council Member Reid, Hinchman second, adopted Resolution No. 87-166 calling for the April 12, CC -18 1988 General Municipal Election.
