right-of-way at Century Boulevard, the City was informed
that W. I. D. had an existing 12' wide ditch easement
just south of the centerline of Century Boulevard
between Mills Avenue and the W. I. D. Canal. There is
an existing ditch in this easement which was constructed
to serve the properties depicted on an exhibit presented
for Council's perusal. Because the ditch is existing,
and W.I.D. has the ability to immediately serve water,
these parcels are paying a $5.00 per acre per year
"Ready to Serve Charge". With the exception of the
Woock parcel none of the parcels are using or desire W.
I. D. water. The Woock property is currently being
served from the W. I. D. Canal south of the church
site. The City of Lodi is currently annexing the

the City:
1) Pays the Woodbridge Irrigation District the scan of
$8,000. This amount covers their revenue loss from
the "Ready to Serve Charge" and the ditch easement
they will be quitclaiming to the City.
2) Obtains from Batch, for both properties, a
quitclaim to W. I. D. of their rights to any
future W. I. D. irrigation water.

ELM AND SACRAMENTO
STREET
Council was reminded that the City had received a
petition from a number of businessmen near the
intersection of Sacramento and Elm Streets requesting
the installation of a 4 -way stop at that location.
The Public Works Department has taken traffic counts,
checked the accident records and generally reviewed the
problems and solutions at the intersections of both
School and Sacramento with Elm since they are almost
identical. Staff reported that in checking the warrants
for 4 -way stops at these two intersections, it was
determined that there were only two accidents per year
at each intersection subject to correction by 4 -way
stops. Five are required. It was also determined that
the traffic volumes just barely meet the warrants for
4 -way stops.
Further information which was developed was reviewed by
Staff. Staff concluded their report by advising that it
would appear that the two best alternatives at this time
are to either leave the signing the way it is or to
convert both intersections to 4 -way stops. It was
Staff's reccnvendation to install 4 -way stops at both
intersections. This recommendation is based on treating
the downtown improvement district as one large parking
lot.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being
directed to Staff.
Mayor Hinchman then moved for adoption of Resolution No.
85-95 establishing 4 -way stops at School and Elm, and at
Sacramento and Elm. The motion was seconded by Mayor
Pro Tempore Reid. The motion failed to carry the
following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Reid and Hinchman (Mayor)
Noes: Council Members - Olson, Pinkerton, and Snider
Absent: Council Members - None

URGENCY ORDINANCE ^i
NO. 1361 ADOPTED
Council was reminded that at the Shirtsleeve Session of
July. 16, 1985, the Council reviewed two recceimended
amendments to the City's Peddlers/Solicitors Ordinance.
These amendments deal with the elimination of the
Continued July 24, 1985
exemption of certain individuals and organizations frau
the payment of the certificate of identification fee,
and the language used on any sign giving disallowance of
peddlers/solicitors.
Following discussion, with questions being directed to
Staff, Council, on motion of Council Member Snider,
Pinkerton second, adopted Urgency Ordinance 1361 - An
Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 1361, Sections 6, 7,
and 11 of the Lodi Municipal Code.
HAAS -KINGS PRO=
FINANCIAL COMMIT I -M
Council was reminded that the Utility Department made a
`I� presentation to the Lodi City Council, July 12, 1983,
regarding the Haas -Kings Project. This project is one
of three hydroelectric projects currently licensed to
PG&E on the North Fork Kings River. The Federal license
to operate the project expires soon as the project would
then be open to carpeting proposals for relicensing.
The City of Lodi has contributed to a study of one such
relicensing proposal. This proposed license application
is sponsored by SMUD, certain Southern California
municipals, and NCPA as our representative; it proposes
adding generation capacity to the existing Haas power
development through additional utilization of water
resources of the North Fork Kings River.
At the time this project was discussed with the Lodi
City Council the utility power resource picture was much
different from what we perceive today. The Calaveras
hydroelectric project was in the planning stage with
many uncertainties involving enviromental problems and
economic choices. Discussion was centered at that time
upon the need for peaking capacity—that is, power
needed only during peak load conditions. Combustion
turbines are normally utilized for such peak load duty
cycle, but the NCPA combustion turbine project did not
became active until late in 1983.
Therefore, utilization of the potential generation
resource of Haas -King appeared of benefit to the City of
Lodi in covering future peak load periods. The proposed
City share of the project was 7.5 megawatts.
Re-examination of .the peak load benefit of the
Haas -Kings River Project discloses a redundancy between
the peak load period production of this project and the
combustion turbine project. This situation is expected
to exist for as much as ten years after projected
catmercial operation. Following that period, a
gradually increasing City need for power and energy from
a project like the Haas -Kings is projected to emerge.
Construction is underway here in Lodi of the Richard L.
Hughes combustion turbine which, together with four
other identical turbines (in other cities), provide
peaking capability to substantially meet our peak load
and that of other NCPA participants.
Therefore, the Haas -Kings project is no longer as
strategic a resource as originally conceived. Continued
support of the project should be minimal. The City of
Lodi should reduce its participation from 12.7% (current
participation) to a level of l%. The project need
/ Continued July 24, 1985
should be reviewed in no more than six months to
reconfirm the above analysis and a decision made
regarding continued support.
To date approximately $58,420 has been contributed to
the Haas -Kings Project development by the City of Lodi.
Reduced support through the end of the year at a 1%
level would require approximately $2,500. These
contributed funds would be returned when the project was
successfully relicensed and financed by the public power
entities.
A lengthy discussed followed with questions being
directed to Utility Director Henry Rice, City Manager
Peterson, and City Attorney Stein. On motion of Mayor
Pro Tempore Reid, Olson second, Council approved the
City's continued participation in the Haas -Kings project
relicensing effort in the amount of one percent (1% -
$2,500) of the estimated cost of pursuing this project
now determined to be $250,000. The motion carried by
the following vote:
AYES: Council Members - Olson, Snider, and
Hinchman (Mayor)
NOES: Council Members - Pinkerton
ABSENT: Council Members - None
