ACCEPT IMPROVEMENTS
UNDER WELL 6R
ENCIASURE, 218
MISSION STREET,
CONTRACT The City Council accepted the improvements for "Well 6R
Enclosure, 218 Mission Street" and directed the Public
CC -14(a) Works Director to file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's office.
Council was apprised that the contract was awarded to Neth
Construction, Inc. of Stockton on April 16, 1986 in the
amount of $26,548.00. The contract has been completed in
substantial conformance with the plans and specifications
approved by the City Council.
The original ccupletion date was July 15, 1986, and the
actual ccmpletion date was December 2, 1986. The delay was
because of a misunderstanding between the contractor and
the City which caused a considerable delay in delivery of
some of the necessary material. The final contract price
was $29,165.25. The difference between the contract amount
and the final contract price is mainly due to same
necessary modifications to the main gate and opening,
additional mow strips, and removal of existing fencing.
The total project cost includes sprinklers and landscaping
not included under the contract.

FOR JOHNSON RANCH
UNIT NO. 1 APPROVED City Council approved the Subdivision Improvement Agreement
Addendum for Johnson Ranch Unit No. 1 and authorized the
CC -46 City Manager and City Clerk to execute it on behalf of the
City.
Council was apprised that the City Council authorized the
City to pay for 50% of the cost of reconstruction of the
Cherokee Lane/Century Boulevard intersection at its meeting
of November 20, 1985. This addendum covers that
installation based on actual construction costs.
RENEZ,ZAL OF LEASE
FOR G BASIN PROPERTY
APPROVED City Council approved the renewal of the lease between
Delmar and Doris Batch and the City of Lodi for the G Basin
CC -6 property for one year and authorized the lease to be signed
CC -27(a) by the City Manager and City Clerk.
The Batches have leased this property frau the City since
1976 under two 5 -year leases. Since the ultimate plan for
this basin has not been finalized, the City proposed that
this lease now be on a year-to-year basis rather than a
5 -year term. This will give the City more flexibility and
the lessees will have a chance to review their options on
an annual basis. The lessees requested that the tern of
the lease be from October 15, 1986 through December 31,
1987 to coincide with their other leases. This will not be
a problem for the City. The amount of the lease is
$1,215.00.

CC -45(a) of the City Clerk, Mayor Reid called for the Public Hearing
to consider the Environmental Impact Report Update and
Project Alternates, Hutchins Street Improvement Project -
Rimby to Vine Street, Lodi.
A history of the project was presented by Public Works
Director Ronsko. Mr. Ronsko informed the Council that the
City of Lodi is roving ahead with the next phase of the
Hutchins Street Improvement Project - the segment between
Rimby Avenue and Vine Street. The project approved in 1981
and budgeted for construction in 1986 consisted of
reconstructing the street within existing curbs with one
travel lane in each direction, parking on both sides, and a
left turn lane at Vine Street.
At the request of the Lodi District Chamber of Cam erce,
the City Council directed staff to study the possible
addition of a continuous left turn lane. On September 17,
1986, the Council heard a staff presentation on left turn
lane alternates for the Hutchins Street project. They were:
Alternate I - Reconstruct the street within existing curbs
and install one travel lane in each direction, a two-way
left turn lane, and no parking on the west side.
Alternate II - Widen the street on the west side by
acquiring five feet of right-of-way plus utility easements
and reconstruct the street with one travel lane in each
direction, a two-way left turn lane, and parking on both
sides.
The City has prepared an update on the 1981 Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) on the Hutchins Street Improvement
Project. The update covers the portion of the project from
Rimby Avenue to Vine Street.

REPORTS OF THE
CITY MANAGER
REGULAR CALENDAR
LAWRENCE PARK
BASEBALL FIELD
RENAMED "TONY ZUPO
FIELD"
Council was apprised that the Recreation and Parks
Commission has recommended the renaming of the current
CC -6
Lawrence Park Baseball Field to "Tony Zupo Field". The
CC -27(c)
suggestion to rename this facility was presented by Mr.
John Nilmeyer to the Recreation and Parks C wassion at its
November meeting. Mr. Nilmeyer based this proposal on Mr.
Zupo's 41 years as manager of the local Child Wine baseball
team. His involvement with hundreds of young adults, who
have played for him and have been helped and influenced by
him in having the opportunity to play at the semi -pro
level, has been significant. He has supported the local
B.O.B.S. for 26 years by membership and assistance with the
youth baseball programs, as well as having been an active
member of the Lodi Sports Hall of Fame Committee, both as a
"Hall of Famer" himself and a committee member.
To give some background on the original name of the park,
the Lawrence family donated the land for the Grape Bowl,
Lawrence Park proper, and the Armory Park facilities, and
the park was named after then. In this regard, we
contacted a member of the Lawrence family, Moe Gritsch
(wham we knew from Recreation Department activities), and
414
Continued December 17, 1986
requested this name change. We also asked if this would
present any conflicts or concerns to the family. Mrs.
Gritsch, whose sons played for Tony Zupo, was elated over
the idea and indicated that she definitely would approve
the action. It was felt by the Chairman of the Recreation
Commission and Parks and Recreation Director that this
approval should be put in writing, and Mrs. Gritsch
couplied with this request with a letter which we received
for the Commission meeting of December 2.
CONSTRUCTION OF A
PUBLIC NOTICE
BULLETIN BOARD Council was apprised that recently adopted legislation
provides for significant changes in the Brown Act open
CC -6 meeting requirements effective January 1, 1987. These
latest amendments will have little effect on the City of
Lodi since our City already has in place most of the new
requirements. There is one area that merits attention,
that being a new requirement that agendas be posted in a
location freely accessible to the public. We have been
advised that this means accessible 24 hours a day. Mayor
Reid has suggested that the City erect a bulletin board in
With the Lawrence family's full support and the knowledge
of Mr. Zupo's contributions, this proposal was presented to
the Commission and met with 100% approval.
Mr. Nilmeyer was in the audience and addressed the Council
regarding his suggestion.
On motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Snider second,
Council renamed the current Lawrence Park Baseball Field to
"Tony Zupo Field" per Recreation and Parks Commission
recommendation and Department Head concurrence. Further
Council directed Staff to have an appropriate plaque or
sign placed at the site at the earliest possible time.
RESTRICTED (PERMIT)
PARKING RESCINDED
CN FLORA STREET
RES. NO. 86-186
Council was reminded that, at its regular meeting of
October 1, 1986, the City Council took action to extend the
CC -48(1)
permit parking area in the vicinity of the Pacific Coast
Producers Cannery to include Flora Street. This action was
at the request of residents of this street who presented a
petition in support of permit parking there. At its
regular meeting of November 5, 1986, the City Council heard
a presentation by a citizen representing his neighbors on
that street requesting that permit parking not be imposed.
There had apparently been same confusion concerning the
circulation and language of the petition. At that meeting
Councilmember Hinchman offered to walk the street for the
purpose of contacting the residents to determine their true
preference. Mayor Reid reported for Counciluvam►pr Hindman
at the City Council's regular meeting of November 19, 1986
that, of the 14 homes contacted, residents of 13 were
opposed to the implementation of permit parking on Flora
Street. Mayor Reid directed that this matter be placed on
this agenda for discussion and Council action.
Council Member Hirschman provided additional information
regarding his observations.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member Hinchman,
Snider second, Council adopted Resolution No. 86-186
withdrawing Flora Street from the designated permit parking
area near the Pacific Coast Producers Plant.

The delay in the implementation of the gate fee for
residential and commercial customers was granted by the
County at the City of Lodi's request to permit the City
time to undertake the first-ever comprehensive review and
evaluation of the operations of the City's contract hauler,
Sanitary City Disposal Company. One of the purposes of the
study was to determine the need for rate adjustments in
addition to the gate fee. To conduct this study, the City
Council, at its regular meeting of June 4, 1966, retained
the consulting firm of Eljumaily-Butler Associates of Santa
Rosa, experts in the field of waste management. For a
variety of reasons, not the least of which is the
complexity of the assignment, the drafts of the study,
along with a proposed ordinance and franchise agreement was
just delivered to the City within the last two weeks.
Assistant City Manager Jerry Glenn has spent considerable
time reviewing the contents of same with the consultant.
There remains to be accomplished discussion with Mr. Dave
Vaccarezza of Sanitary City Disposal Company before the
final results of the study can be transmitted to the City
Council. Hopefully, this will occur sometime in February,
1987.
In the meantime, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the agreement between the City and the County
of San Joaquin, the $2.00 per cubic yard gate fee will be
charged on residential and commercial refuse taken to the
Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill for Disposal effective
December 31, 1986. This equates to approximately 38 cents
on the first can and 18 cents on the second can. This
represents a 7.8% adjustment which should also be applied
to all ccomercial rates. In addition, we are aware that
Sanitary City Disposal Company will be approaching the City
the vicinity of City Hall for the purpose of providing a
convenient location for these postings. Envisioned is an
attractive, night -lighted, glass enclosed, locked,
all-weather structure. Its use would be for the posting of
City Council agendas, the agendas for the meetings of all
other City boards and commissions, and other required
governmental postings.
Following discussion, Council, on motion of Mayor Reid,
Hinchman second, directed Staff to proceed with the design
of the subject bulletin board, determined that the City
Clerk or her designee would be responsible for all City
postings on the board, and that the City Clerk would be the
custodian of the keys for the bulletin board.
HARNEY LANE SANITARY
LANDFILL GATE FEE
RES. NO. 86-187
City Manager Peterson reported that, at its regular meeting
of July 2, 1986, the City Council unanimously adopted a
CC -7(b)
resolution approving an agreement with the County of San
CC -27(a)
Joaquin providing for the implementation of a gate fee at
the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. A copy of this
agreement was provided for Council approval. The agreement
provides, among other things, that the gate fee of $2.00
per cubic yard for industrial waste brought to the Harney
Lane Sanitary Landfill be effective on the date of the
execution of the agreement (July 8, 1986). The agreement
further provides that the same gate fee be applied to
residential and canrercial waste generated within the City
limits and brought to the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill for
disposal no later than December 31, 1986. This gate fee is
in lieu of the present 7% of refuse bill revenue collected
by the City which is remitted to San Joaquin County for
dump charges.
The delay in the implementation of the gate fee for
residential and commercial customers was granted by the
County at the City of Lodi's request to permit the City
time to undertake the first-ever comprehensive review and
evaluation of the operations of the City's contract hauler,

Council. Hopefully, this will occur sometime in February,
1987.
In the meantime, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the agreement between the City and the County
of San Joaquin, the $2.00 per cubic yard gate fee will be
charged on residential and commercial refuse taken to the
Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill for Disposal effective
December 31, 1986. This equates to approximately 38 cents
on the first can and 18 cents on the second can. This
represents a 7.8% adjustment which should also be applied
to all ccomercial rates. In addition, we are aware that
Sanitary City Disposal Company will be approaching the City
41b
Continued December 17, 1986
Council for an overall rate adjustment in the imTediate
future. The draft report prepared by the City's waste
management consultant includes a recommendation for such an
adjustment. To minimize confusion for the rate payer, it
is preferred that whatever rate adjustments are to be
implemented, be placed in effect at the same time (gate fee
and Sanitary City Disposal Company request).
City Manager Peterson further advised that several
alternate approaches have surfaced as staff has reviewed
this issue. These are:
1. request of the County an additional time extension for
the implementation of the gate fee on residential refuse
COMM2Ti': This is really not a practical alternative. In
the first place, the County rmst assuredly would deny the
request. The six-month delay in this implementation was an
acco n odation on the County's part. Everyone in the
County, including Lodi's industrial community is paying a
per cubic yard gate fee with the exception of Lodi's
residential and commercial ccmminities.
2. implement the $2.00 per cubic yard gate fee effective
December 31, 1986 in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the July 2, 1986 agreement between the
City of Lodi and the County of San Joaquin
COMMENT: This would result in, assuming the City Council
ultimately grants a rate adjustment in response to the
anticipated request for same frau Sanitary City Disposal
Company, two separate garbage rate increases which is to be
avoided if possible.
3. the City pay to the County the gate fee as billed
effective December 31, 1986 until such date as the City
Council acts on the implementation of the gate fee and
appears on the utility bill
COMMENT: This would cost the City approximately $14,000
per month until the gate fee is placed in effect. The City
would not recover this expenditure. This is not in the
best interests of the City nor does it represent sound
utility management. In addition, the City Attorney has
some concern that this could be interpreted as a gift of
public funds.
the City pay to the County the gate fee as billed
effective December 31, 1986 until such date as the City
Council acts on the implementation of the gate fee and
it appears on the utility bill with the proviso that
any adjustment in the garbage rate include the
repayment to the City over an appropriate period, one
or two years perhaps, of any expenditure made by the
City in satisfying the gate fee in the interim
COMMENT: This gives the City Council time to carefully
evaluate the entire garbage rate picture, perhaps devoting
one or more shirtsleeve sessions to this review prior to
arriving at a decision. In addition it provides for the
ultimate recovery of expenditures made by the City in
meeting the gate fee charge.
Following discussion with questions being directed to
Staff, Council, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Reid
second, adopted Resolution No. 86-187 determining that the
City would pay to the County the gate fee as billed
effective December 31, 1986 until such date as the City

While the schedule was presented for discussion purposes
only, it was quickly seized by those in attendance and a
rather quick vote of approval followed. In view of the
fact that this represents a significant change in the
organization's structure, and because one city (Tracy) had
no representatives in attendance while other agencies had
less than a quorum present, it was felt that additional
consideration should be given. Accordingly, a letter from
Association President Jim Fulton (Councilmember, Escalon)
was sent to all of the cities and the County of San
Joaquin. The letter requests an official position from
each agency.

MEETING SCHEDULED
FOR CITIES AND
Community Development Director Schroeder apprised the
COUNTY OF SAN
Council that at its meeting of November 13, 1986 the
JOAQUIN ASSOCIATION
Measure "A" Task Force unanimously reccruended that the
APPF07ED
City Manager Peterson reported that at the Cities -County
Association meeting last month in Escalon, the program
CC -7(o)
centered on the purpose and future of the organization. A
portion of this discussion included a suggested revised
meeting schedule. The Association had been meeting monthly
with the exception of the months of July and August.
Concern had been expressed that monthly meetings were
perhaps too frequent and that program content needed more
attention. For discussion purposes at the November
Association meeting, a suggested meeting schedule was
presented. This schedule was developed by the City
Managers in the County along with the County Administrative
Officer. It calls for the Association meetings to be held
bi-monthly rather than monthly, with the Mayors, Board of
Supervisors Chairman, City Managers and County
Administrative Officer to meet in the off months to
discuss, among other things, program content for future
meetings. There are no meetings in the months of July,
August and December.
While the schedule was presented for discussion purposes
only, it was quickly seized by those in attendance and a
rather quick vote of approval followed. In view of the
fact that this represents a significant change in the
organization's structure, and because one city (Tracy) had
no representatives in attendance while other agencies had
less than a quorum present, it was felt that additional
consideration should be given. Accordingly, a letter from
Association President Jim Fulton (Councilmember, Escalon)
was sent to all of the cities and the County of San
Joaquin. The letter requests an official position from
each agency.
Following discussion, on motion of Council Member
Pinkerton, Snider second, Council approved the proposed
meeting schedule for the Cities and County of San Joaquin
Association. The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Olson, Pinkerton, Snider,
and Reid (Mayor)
Noes: Council Members - Hinchman
Absent: Council Members - None
