Cc 5--0
Council was apprised that public transit remains a major
service provided in Lodi and San Joaquin County. In order
to continue providing high levels of service, avoid
duplication of service and plan for future growth and
development of transit systems, it is necessary to plan
ahead. To this end each transit provider in San Joaquin
County adopts a five-year plan for its operations. A copy
of the proposed City of Lodi Five Year Transit Plan was
presented for Council's perusal. The plan includes a
discussion on current issues: Sunday service, evening
service, fixed route service, inter -city service, and
coordination with San Joaquin County.
The City objectives are to continue to meet the reasonable
transit needs of all City residents in the most cost
effective means possible. This includes fostering
community awareness, clean vehicles, courteous drivers,
adequate insurance and assisting San Joaquin County to meet
their unmet needs.
Following discussion with questions being directed to
Staff, Council on motion of Council Member Snider, Hirschman
second, adopted Resolution No. 86-161 adopting the City of
Lodi Five. Year Transit Plan.
City Manager Peterson advised that staff had received a
request to establish bus and passenger loading zones at the
northeast corner of Pine and Stockton Streets. The vacant
building at this location is the proposed site of the
relocated Greyhound bus depot. Since no off-street parking
is available on -street loading is being requested.
Since Stockton Street is wider than Pine Street (56 feet
vs. 50 feet) and carries less traffic 3,330 vs. 6,400 daily
traffic), it is more appropriate to place the bus zone
there. The driveway on Pine Street will not be used as
part of this use and with the addition of approximately
eight feet of white curb, it will provide an adequate
pedestrian loading zone.
Under the Lodi City Code, the City Council is authorized to
establish a bus loading zone. Since they will be using the
City street and right-of-way as part of their loading
operation, it is recommended that the operation be allowed
under a City of Lodi Encroachment Permit so the City
retains the ability to control the right-of-way use.
Since the parking designations are for the sole purpose of
operating a bus terminal, it is felt that the owner should
pay for the modifications. This is similar to the School
District's requests. It is recommended that the owner pay
the cost of this modification which is $500.00. This
includes sign installation, curb painting, parking stall
removal, etc.
Mr. Gene Walton, Attorney -at -Law, representing Greyhound
and his wife, owner of Travel by Charles addressed the
Council regarding the matter and responded to questions as
were posed by the Council.

Following a lengthy discussion, on motion of Council Member
Hindman, Olson second, Council adopted Resolution No.
86-162 approving parking designations for the relocation of
the Greyhound Bus Depot at the northeast corner of Pine and
Stockton Streets and ordered that the operation be allowed
under a City of Lodi Encroachment Pezmit, and that the
owner pay all signing costs.
Council Member Hinchman stressed his concern that staff
needs to look at this portion of the business community and
that a parking study be completed of the area.
Mayor Reid declared a five-minute recess and the meeting
reconvened at approximately 9:35 p.m.
Following receipt of a report from the Planning Commission
advising that it determined that a zoning hardship did not
exist and its denial of the request of Gary A. Kroll for a
Zoning Variance to construct a duplex of a lot located at
730 South Stockton Street within the boundaries of the
Eastside Moratorium area, Council was apprised that Mr.
Kroll did not appeal the action of the Planning Commission.
With the tacit concurrence of the Council, the matter was
withdrawn from the agenda.

BID AWARD - FINE ARTS
BUILDING, HUDCHINS
STREET SQUARE
RES. NO. 86-164 At its regular meeting of August 20, 1986, the City Council
authorized the advertisement for bids for the restoration
CC -27(e) of the Fine Arts Building at Hutchins Street Square. Mr.
Dennis Bennett, president of the Old Lodi Union High School
Site Foundation, had earlier requested City Council
appropriation of $450,000 in the form of a loan to the
Foundation to undertake this project. In its adoption of
the 1986-87 Operating Budget, the City Council approved the
appropriation of $500,000 to the Capital Outlay Reserve
Fund for this purpose. The balance of the funding needed
to undertake and caiplete this project will be supplied by
the Old Lodi Union High School Site Foundation.
Bids were received and opened September 24, 1986. The bid
summary is heretofore set forth. The total bid represents
the base bid of $744,500, plus the inclusion of Alternate
No. 4, which provides for the removal of the existing roof
and the re -roofing of the entire building at a cost of
$14,600. Since that time there has been considerable
discussion with the lav bidder concerning a number of
aspects of the project. It is possible there may be some
chane orders that could reduce the total amount.

LOAD RESEARCH
PROGRAM CONCEPT
APPROVED
Electric Utility Director Henry J. Rice introduced agenda
item K-6 relating to the load research program concept.
CC -51{d)
Mr. Rice advised that the nature of electrical use, its
patterns,trends and forecasts into the future are
important to electrical utilities. The need for increased
accuracy in forecasting and its close relationship to
capital and energy costs make load research a very
important tool to this end. Load research is the method
used to obtain data for a representative cross section of
City customers for use in, but not limited to, system
planning, cost analysis, rate determination and load
forecasting. Load research is performed by installing a
limited number of meters which record and store load data
on a continuous basis.
Installation of all metering devices and final checkout of
data translation equipment must be concluded prior to the
peak season. Reliable data from a load research program
will not become available in less than two years and may
require a full three-year period for verification.
Determination of the least number of required data
collection devices is based upon a sophisticated
statistical analysis. Several months delay in implementing
this program was necessitated while the statistical
analysis was performed. Initiation of the load research
program at this time will allow sufficient time to go out
for bid, install the devices and check out the system prior
to utility's 1987 peak season. Therefore, collected and
analyzed data would became useful in 1989.

Continued November 5, 1986

amount of $124,205.91 from the 16.1 650.23 - 500 account to
the System Equipment Purchase Account - 16.680.01 - 519 for
program implementation of the Electric Utility Load
Research Program.
Further, Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Olson,
Reid second, approved the specifications for the purchase
of solid state data recorder and associated software and
authorized the advertising for bids thereon.
REQUEST FROM BOOSTERS
OF BOYS/GIRLS SPORTS
ORGANIZATION FOR CITY
TO HOLD THAT ORGANIZATION
HARMLESS IN ITS
ACTIVITIES TO A LIMIT
OF $250,000 Assistant City Manager Glenn reported that the lack of
liability insurance has manifested itself in the
CC -6 non -reliability of the liability coverage the Boosters of
CC -21.1(a) Boys and Girls Sports, Inc. (BOBS) once had. The Board of
CC -40 Directors has been without insurance since September 19,
1986. The members of the Executive Board are concerned
that their volunteer services have placed their personal
net worth in jeopardy.
The BOBS have requested that the City of Lodi hold that
organization harmless in its activities to a limit of
$250,000.
Mr. Glenn reported that the Joint Powers Insurance
Authority will not share losses with BOBS as it is a
separate entity with its own elected Board of Directors.
Even if they would share these losses, the City of Lodi
would be individually liable for the first $250,000.
Addressing the Council concerning the matter was Mr. Robert
Mullen, Attorney-at-law.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Snider,
Pinkerton second, Council determined that it would provide
defense costs and damages up to $250,000 per occurrence to

INVESTMENT REGARDING
ASSESSMENT OF NEW
SEWER CONNECTION FEE
ON ITS LODI AVENUE/HAM
LANE DEVELOPMENT Council Member Snider asked to abstain from discussion and
voting on the following matter, because of a possible
CC -16 conflict of interest.
CC -44
CC -51(a) City Manager Peterson reminded the Council that a letter
CC -56 had been received from Mr. C. A. Wentland, Managing Partner
of Avenue Investment, protesting the new sewer connection
fee with regard to his Lodi Avenue/Ham Lane development.
Mr. Wentland had just received word that the approved plans
for development of Suite "0" at 1300 west Lodi Avenue and
learned that they would be assessed the connection fee at
the new rate rather than at the previous rate.

Continued November 5, 1986
Mr_ Wentland's letter was presented at the Regular Council
Meeting of October 15, 1986 and was referred to staff at
that tine for review and the presentation of a
recommendation at this meeting.,
City Manager Peterson further advised the Council that on
October 1, 1986, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
86-152 which established an increase in the sewer
connection fees. Subsequent thereto, it was determined
that a number of buildings had been erected or were under
construction within the City prior to the date of the
adoption of the sewer connection fees. These buildings are
in a status that could best be described as a "shell"
structure. At the time those projects were initiated, the
developer did not pay sewer connection charges because the
ultimate occupant and the interior finish were unknown.
The developers are required to pay the sewer connection
fees when they acquire a building permit for the "tenant
improvements".
Since the plans and specifications for the "shell"
structures had already been approved by the Building
Division and necessary permits issued prior to the time the
new fee structure was adopted, it seems logical to
"grandfather" these buildings. Accordingly, it is
recomrended that the sewer connection charges for the
"tenant improvements" in these structures be based on the
previous schedule because the "shell" either existed or was
under construction when the City Council acted on October
1, 1986.
Staff estimates there are perhaps 10-12 buildings in this
category in the City. Further information regarding the
subject was provided by Coimunnity Development Director
Schroeder_
Following discussion, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Olson,
Hinchman second, Council authorized the application of the
City's previous sewer connection fee schedule in those
situations where "shell" structures were constructed or
under construction, prior to October, 1986.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Hincluaan, Olson,
Pinkerton, and Reid
(Mayor)
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Abstain.: Council Members - Snider
