We have received an agreement from the County with an estimated cost of $7,875 per year for services, and $2,680 per year for equipment costs. These costs are an increase of 30% over last year's costs.

CITY CLHE CLAIMS On recommendation of the City Attorney and L. J. Russo Insurance Services, Inc., the City's Contract Administrator, Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Reid, Olson second, denied the following claims and referred them back to L. J. Russo Insurance Services, Inc.: a) Pacific Bell DOL 1/23185 HU1'CHINS STREET Council received the following report from the Hutchins SQUARE PROJECT Street Square Long Term Financing Committee: FINANCING 1) On March 6, 1985, Mayor Randy Snider appointed a Task Force to discuss long term financing for the completion of the Hutchins Street Square CmTaunity Center project. The members appointed or represented were Mayor Randy Snider, City Attorney Ronald Stein, City Clerk Alice Reimche, Old Lodi Union High School Site Foundation Chairman Dennis Bennett, Staff Liaison Charlene Lange, City Finance Director Bob Holm and John Talbot, Representative of Wulff, Hansen and Company. Ch the following dates, the Committee met to discuss long term financing tools for the Hutchins Street Square project: March 12, March 20, April 2, and April 9, 1985. It was determined during said period of time to contact Steven Casaleggio of Jones, Hall, Hill and White to ask him to meet with the Committee to discuss specific recommendations for long-term financing of the Hutchins Street Square project. On April 2, 1985, Steven Casaleggio and Brian D. Quint, attorneys for Jones, Hall, Hill and White, along with City Manager Tom Peterson, met with the aforementioned Task Force Committee to discuss long-term financing for the project. At said time and place it was determined by the Task Force, after looking at a number of different methods of financing, that the most efficient way to finance the Hutchins Street Square project, was through Certificates of Participation. The term "Certificates of Participation" is a term which represents the participation in the lease payments. The public entity is considered the lessee. The lessor can be a private non-profit corporation. A bank or financial institution or other investor will pay the lessor cash for the present value of the future lease payments and this money then would be used to build the Hutchins Street Square project. You would then have purchasers or investors who would purchase the Certificates of Participation in the lease payments. The lease can be structured for any period of time. Normally, they are structured from 20 to 30 year periods. Continued April 17, 1985 ` 0 U In order to have adequate funds in the General Fund to pay for the lease payments under the Certificates of Participation method of financing; and further for the maintenance and operation of the Hutchins Street Square project, it was determined that it would be possible to place an advisory proposition on the ballot pursuant to Election Code §5353, which would ask the voters in the City of Lodi to impose a fee to pay for the capital improvements and maintenance and operation of the Hutchins Street Square project. -- If the advisory measure received a majority vote, the City Council would then authorize the fee by ordinance and further would authorize the use of Certificates of Participation for the completion and maintenance and operation of the Hutchins Street Square project. It should be noted for the Council's benefit that any revenues that are received by the Hutchins Street Square project, could then be used to offset any of the fee which the citizens are asked to pay, pursuant to the voter -approved fee. 2. It is the recommendation of the Mayor's Task Force that Certificates of Participation represent the most effective method for financing the Hutchins Street Square project. Further, in order to provide for adequate funding in the General Fund to pay for the lease payments under the Certificates of Participation, and for the maintenance and operation of the Hutchins Street Square project, that the citizens of the City of Lodi should be asked in an advisory measure pursuant to Election Code 65353, whether the City should impose a fee on the residential, commercial, and industrial properties within the City of Lodi, to pay for the lease payments under Certificates of Participation, and for the maintenance and operation of the Hutchins Street Square project. Both Council Menber Snider and City Attorney Stein addressed the Council on the subject and responded to questions as It looked like a bull dozer had run through the length of the area clearing everything away for a two lane highway. All plant life over 6 inches tall was totally destroyed in the path of this destruction including the willows, cattails, and horse tail reeds. This plant life provided shelter and food for animal life. The wilderness area is hardly a wilderness anvmnre. were posed by the Council on the matter. PUC APPLICATION City Clerk Reimche presented information for Council's perusal pertaining to Pacific Bell's amended application for removal of penalty (Application 84-09-064). APPOINIIIEM TO Mayor Hinchman with the concurrence of the Lodi City Council VARICUS BOAMS on motion of Mayor Pro Teir>pore Reid, Snider second, made' AND CC MISSICNS the following appointments to various comrmittees: a) Rnergency Food and Shelter Board - San Joaquin County - Council Member Evelyn Olson. b) Commmity Development Block Advisory Committee - Mayor David Hinchman. LE= RECEIVED City Clerk Reirwhe presented the following letter which had RE UIX WIIDER- been received from Joyce N. Sullivan regarding Lodi's NESS AREA Wilderness Area: "Dear Council Members: yam, I am heartsick. I just returned from a walk through Lodi's wilderness area adjacent to Lodi Lake. I could hardly believe what I saw, It looked like a bull dozer had run through the length of the area clearing everything away for a two lane highway. All plant life over 6 inches tall was totally destroyed in the path of this destruction including the willows, cattails, and horse tail reeds. This plant life provided shelter and food for animal life. The wilderness area is hardly a wilderness anvmnre. 4U ti Continued April 17, 1985 The week before this latest travesty the park maintenance plowed up a huge swath of land at the base of the levy for a fire line taking with it incredible varieties of lush wild flowers in full bloom. I understand the necessity for this, but this latest action is intolerable. A mere six years ago my family and I saw deer and foxes frequently in the wilderness area. Since the paved path went into the area they've left, never to return. I consider that area as one of Lodi's most precious interests - sacred - rather like entering a church. When I see the kind of destruction I saw today it reminded me of some vandals throwing paint on beautiful stained glass windows and walls of a church. Hopefully, you as a council will educate yourselves as to what a wilderness area is and the do's and don'ts of maintaining such an area. An excellent resource person to talk with would be Steve Stocking, a Botanist teaching at Delta Cormnmity College. I have a hunch that if the city were to ask for consulting services in regard to Lodi's wilderness area the Comixmity College would co-operate. :,. JOINT AND SEVERAL Council Member Snider addressed the Council on the recent LIABILITY action of the Cities and County Association of San Joaquin whereby a letter has been drafted for signature of all Mayors and the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors who are members of that association which urges support of our legislators in the passage of legislation which would lessen cities exposure in "deep pocket" cases, thus reducing the actual money cities pay out in settlement and judgements, by lowering liability insurance premiums, and by increasing the availability of municipal liability coverage.

CALENDAR 1 i N1 AND R PACKING Agenda item k-1 - "Memo regarding M and R Packing - RIGIT-OF-WAY Right-of-way Appeal" was introduced by City Manager APPEAL GRAN= Peterson. 733 STOCKTLN Public Works Director Ronsko presented the following back - STREET DEVELOPMENT ground information regarding the subject, presented diagrams of the subject area, and responded to questions as were i� posed by Council. In January of 1983, Robert Mullen, acting in behalf of Central California Traction Company, submitted a Tentative Parcel Map for a lot split of the OCT Co. parcel at the southwest corner of Stockton and Tokay Street. The map was circulated by the Community Development Department, submitted to the Planning Commission, and approved by the Commission on February 14, 1983 with conditions as shown on a two page letter attached as Exhibit B. Item 6 of the conditions required dedication of 51 feet in conformance with the Specific Plan for Stockton Street in effect at that time. (351 feet on both sides of CL). On May 4, 1983, the City Council adopted Ordinance #1286, amending the Stockton Street Specific Plan to 40 feet on both sides of the centerline. In late November 1983, the final map was returned and all conditions of the tentative map were meet. CCT Co.'s agent had been informed of the change in setbacks, and in answer had pointed out that if a map was filed within 1S months of the tentative map approval, the conditions cannot be changed. The final map dedicated the 5J feet in conformance with the conditions of the tentative map. The map was sent to the title company for transmittal to the County Recorder, and was recorded on December 1, 1983. Cn March 5th of this year, M & R Packing, the new owners of one of the parcels, applied for a permit valued at approximately $25,000. The owners were notified of the requirement for dedication of an additional 4} feet in conformance with the newer specific plan line. After several discussions with their engineer, their lawyer, and themselves, it was determined that in order for the City to issue a permit, it would be necessary for them to dedicate the 41 feet, and that the City of Lodi would enter into an agreement with them concerning future widening similar to a prior agreement with a local foundry. They were told that, in the interests of time, the City would issue the permit but not record the deed or agreement for 30 to 60 days if they wished to appeal to the City Council. The City received the signed deed and agreement in mid March and issued the building permit on March 22, 1985. In accordance with the City's offer, and their request, the deed and agreement are being held pending their appeal. 407 408 Continued April 17, 1985 Mr. C. M. Sullivan, Attorney-at-law, then .addressed the Council regarding the matter on behalf of his client, M and R Packing Company, presenting background information concerning the subject, addressing facts pertaining to their appeal, and responding to questions as were directed by the Council. Following a lengthy discussion regarding the matter with questions being directed to Staff and to Mr. Sullivan, Council, on motion of Council Member Snider, Olson second, granted the appeal regarding the parcel situated at 733 South Stockton Street, Lodi. The motion carried by unanimous vote. , RDQU M FRCM SALIM Public Works Director Ronsko advised the Council that the LVITED MMMIST Salem United Methodist Church is requesting that the City of C FCR CITY TO Lodi take over the maintenance of the two landscaped street MAINTAIN LANs}- median islands on Central Avenue between Elm and Locust. SCAPED ISLAND CN CENTRAL AVENUE Thirty plus years ago the City determined that it was in the City's best interest to remove the existing landscaped median islands on Central Avenue and replace them with paving. At that time the Salem United Methodist Church approached the City indicating that if the city would leave the two medians between Elm and Locust that they would maintain them. The City did not remove these medians, however, they did remove the medians south of Elm Street. Each of the tura medians is approximately 165 feet in length and 10 feet in width and are planted with lawn. Each median is sprinkled by a manually operated sprinkler system and contains two street lights. The two major alternatives are for the City to take over the lawn and sprinkler system maintenance or for the City to remove the existing medians and replace with asphalt concrete. Shown below is a breakdown of costs for these two alternatives: Alternate No. 1 - City to Take Over Maintenance Under this alternate, the City would add the maintenance of these two medians to the City's Landscape Contract. The additional cost to the City would be approximately $50 per month for median maintenance plus sprinkler system repair. Under this alternate, the Church would have to continue to manually operate the sprinkler system. They have agreed to take on the responsibility of watering. Cost to City - $50/month plus miscellaneous sprinkler repair. Alternate No. 2 - Remove Medians and Replace with Asphalt Removal of existing median curbing and street lights $2,500 Compaction $1,600 Asphalt Paving $5,000 Replacing existing street lights with two mercury vapor lights on existing wooden poles $ 300 Salvage value of existing light standards @ $100 each $ -400 Cost to City $9,000 Continued April 17, 1985 Most medians serve to improve safety and movement of traffic, however, the reason for these medians is purely aesthetics. All other street medians, with the exception of Elm Street west of California, are maintained by the City. " Following discussion with questions being directed to Staff, Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Reid, Pinkerton second, determined that the City will maintain the landscaped median in the 100 block of North Central Avenue, with the exception of watering. The motion carried by unanimous vote. i~ ANNE WICN AND Council was reminded that at the last Council meeting, a REQUEST FUR request was received fram Dean and Sharon Frame, Dennis and BALIDT MEASURE Debbie Frame, and Zane and Patsy Grever requesting the APPROVED RE annexation of their property and requesting that the matter FRAME/GREVER be placed on the November 1985 ballot. PROPERTY IT . These parcels are non-contiguous to the City of Lodi, but "' are contiguous to the Melvin Taves property (APN 058-140-02 and 058-140-03). Council had earlier approved a request - received from Dr. Taves for annexation of his property and placed the matter on the November 1985 ballot. It was suggested at the April 3, 1985 Council meeting that the Frame/Grever measure be consolidated on the ballot with the Taves measure, and per council instruction a request was made of Dr. Taves as to whether or not he would consent to the consolidation. However, following additional review of the matter by Staff, it is recamnended that the Frame/Greyer measure be separate from the Taves measure on the ballot thereby giving the electorate the opportunity to vote on each measure separately. Following discussion, Council, on motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Reid second, approved the request for annexation of the Dean and Sharon Frame, Dennis and Debbie Frame, and Zane and Patsy Grever parcels and authorized the placing of the Frame/Grever measure on the Noverber 1985 ballot. REWEST BY UDID City Manager Peterson reported to the Council that at a FOR ADDITIONAL meeting held April 5, 1985 the UDID Committee discussed PROFESSICNAL items of priority in the continued improvements being made SERVICES AND in the downtown area.

City D0441UAN Manager Peterson asked that a Committee representative ASSESSMENT' be in attendance to present a report and answer any DISMICr questions Council Members may have. L It is anticipated that the Cocrmittee's proposal will consist of the following: 1. The funding of a downtown parking study. 2. Funding for the placement of additional street furniture (12 benches) and 12 more trash receptacles. 3. The establishment of a modest "reserve fund" to provide for continued replacement of plant material. The Lodi Design Group has prepared estimates of these two _ projects which project the cost of the parking study at $4,300 - $5,000 and the cost of the street furniture and trash receptacles at $14,520. The UDID Contingent Find currently has a balance of approximately $40,000. The plantings would be funded by earned interest. Following discussion, on motion of Council Marber Olson, Reid second, Council approved the following proposed projects which costs are to be funded from the United 41V Continued April 17, 1985 Downtown Improvement District (UDID) Contingent Fund and the LDID Contingency Fled. 1.
