Council determined not to pursue the acquisition of the
property located at 115 West Walnut Street, Lodi, for
additional parking at that location.
Council was reminded that on May 6, 1986, it met with
Public Works and San Joaquin Local Health District staff to
review Assembly Bills 2013 and 1362 pertaining to
underground fuel storage tanks. At that time, it was
estimated that the total cost to the city to implement the
program would be approximately $280,000 and that a
reimbursement of approximately $135,000 from the State was
a possibility if certain conditions prevailed. New
estimates show that the total cost will be approximately
$251,500 with a State reimbursement of $141,000.
After obtaining cost estimates and additional discussion
with the County Health District, it is recom-nended that the
City's underground storage tank program be completed in two
phases. Each phase was detailed for the benefit of the

did much to help lift the spirit of everyone at the Port.

PETITION RECEIVED
EXPRESSING CONCERN
REGARDING INCREASED
SPEED LIMIT ON
BRANDYWINE DRIVE
Susan Speaks, 1100 Brandywine Drive, Lodi, presented
petitions bearing approximately 50 signatures stating, "We,
CC -16
the undersigned, residents of Brandywine Drive, are
CC -48(a)
concerned about the proposed increase in the speed limit on
our street from 30 to 35 mph. The current speed of vehicle
traffic creates a hazard not only to residents backing out
of their driveways but to the many small children residing
in the neighborhood; any increase in speed limit would only
compound that problem. Rather than increasing the
allowable speed limit, we would encourage the City of Lodi
to vigilantly enforce the existing 30 mph maximmu and thus
lessen the potential danger to residents and the many high
school pedestrians using this route. Thank you for your
consideration of our request.
Discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff
and to Ms. Speaks. No formal action was taken by the
Council on the matter.

Following additional discussion regarding City Parks and
recreational facilities, the scope of visitors and users,
and the cost to the City to maintain and operate these
facilities, it was suggested that Staff contact the County
of San Joaquin for funding their fair share of City Parks

Gibbons, owner of the H & R Block Office, 8 W. Pine Street,
concerning parking in the downtown area. Specifically, Mr.
Gibbons requested the preferential allocation of 15 - 20
downtown parking permits for use by people in his office.
The matter was referred to the Executive Committee of the
Lodi Downtown Business Association who responded that while
they applaud this company's efforts to keep employee
parking off of the busiest streets, they feel that H & R

RESPONSE TO GRAND

CC -55
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Snider,
Hinchman second, Council directed the staff to draft a
response to the 1985-86 Grand Jury report incorporating the
comments Council deemed appropriate.
Council, following a report from City Attorney Stein, took
no formal action regarding a request for planted areas in
the Leland Acres Subdivision at West Lodi Avenue and Lower
Sacramento Road.
City Manager Peterson reminded the Council that the 1985-86
Capital Improvement Programs include the suun of $215,000
for the design and construction of a second swin mining pool
in Blakley Park. Construction ($200,000) will be funded
utilizing a portion of the City's Community Development
Black Grant funds. Parks and Recreation Director Ron
Williamson has had discussions with people active in the
City's aquatic program concerning this project. Those
talks have resulted in a re -thinking of the scope of this
project. The idea now is that, since the City is expending
a considerable amount of money in this effort,
consideration should be given to modifications and
additions which would make the facility a "competitive"
pool. This would significantly add to the pool's use.
Competitive swim meets could then be held in this pool.
The proposal is that the pool would remain the same size,
25 yards in length. The modifications would include
increasing the minimum depth fran three feet to four feet.
The maxim= depth would remain at five feet. Other
additions would include side gutter to provide for smoother
water; starting block bases, tile lane lines in the bottom
of the pool; "targets" at the end of each lane; and lane
line hooks.
An estimate of the additional costs were presented for
Council's review.
Council was apprised that the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation was that the benefits of the
modifications proposed -did not justify the additional
expenditure, estimated at approximately $65,000. The
Commission had serious concerns that the added expenditure
would detrimentally affect other Parks and Recreation
Department projects budgeted elsewhere. It was determined
that the Ccmnission was not made aware of the fact that
$70,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds had been
made available for reallocation as a result of the
reconstruction of the rest rooms on the north side of Lodi
Lake Park being funded via another State grant. This
project was intended to be funded with Community
Development Block Grant Funds.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff. Council, on motion of Council Member Snider,
Hinchman second, then directed the staff to approach the
10
326
Continued September 3, 1986
Parks and Recreation Commission a second time and advise
the Commission of the availability of these funds, the
question being, would the Camnission have voted differently
armed with this information. It was requested that the
Commission hold a Special Meeting regarding this matter so
that this may be an agenda item for the Regular Council
Meeting of September 17, 1986.
LIPOATE OF EVENTS City Clerk Reimche gave an update of upcoming events which
the members of the Lodi City Council have been invited to
