Continued December 4, 1985
Mr. Lowell B. Flemner, President of the Lodi District
Chamber of Commerce addressed the Council advising that the
Lodi District Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is
recommending the following action be taken to alleviate the
Pacific Coast Producers employee parking problems:
1. provide a resident permit for each current registered
vehicle at no charge.
2. provide one guest pass per resident per year with no
exceptions at no charge.
3. resident permits and guest passes to change color
annually.
4. enforcement period to be July 1 through September 15
The above described procedure should be instituted by
resolution so future revision, if required, may be
initiated without delay.
This recommendation will:
1. provide local resident parking.
2. assist Pacific Coast Producers to encourage use of
provided onsite parking.
3, enable City of Lodi to minimize their administrative
and enforcement procedures.
Mr. Flemmer provided two additional suggestions which will
give this new procedure a better chance for success. All
the residents in the impacted area should be encouraged to
notify authorities of violations. This will minimize the
required patrol time. Also Pacific Coast Producers should
give notices of the new parking procedures and locations of
available onsite parking to all their employees.
