In this regard, (MI has retained the Management consulting firm of Larry Schedin and Associates (St. Paul, Minnesota) to negotiate the necessary power contracts. Mr. Schedin has recommended that GMI sell the electrical output of its co -generation facility to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E), and PG&E has agreed contractually to purchase same. This arrangement requires that the City of Lodi deliver (wheel) the co -generation power and energy to PG&E; therefore, a wheeling contract (subject agreement) has been negotiated between the City and CII. This agreement provides for both initial and on-going City expenses, associated with co -generation power delivery, to be paid by General Mills. It is a 'companion' agreement to the contract for power purchase negotiated between CMI and PG&E, and has a term of 20 years. Both the City Attorney and Utility Director have participated in its preparation. RES.

Jb Continued February 1, 1984 Following discussion, Council on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore The one item left unresolved, which was part of Paul's initial request, was "Would the City pick up the paving fronting the Carlin and Schock properties?". This street paving is currently their responsibility and covered under the agreement that we have with them. The Council asked for costs on this paving prior to discussion this item further. An estimate showing the curb and gutter, street paving and drainage costs fronting the Carlin and Schock properties was presented for Council's perusal. The existing storm drain system terminates just west of Peach Street. Since Carlin has the responsibility of installing the catch basin and lateral, it is felt that the City should extend the storm drain to the center of Peach and construct the necessary manhole. This storm drain, manhole and line will be used in the future for drainage on the west side of Peach. The other item of Council concern was how could assistance be provided to the owner of owner/occupied single family residences where the owner desired to install new curb, Snider, Nbxphy second, gratefully accepted this most generous contribution and moved that it be applied to the recent $20,000 loan made to the Foundation by the City as well as crediting the site purchase balance.

Council was apprised that at the regular Council meeting of September 7, 1983, the Dallas Paul development at 2001/2009 Cochran Road was reviewed with the City Council and a portion of the appealed request from the developer was acted upon. PAVING, CURB AND The action that the City Council took at the September 7 GUTTER - CCCHRAN meeting was: (1) determined that in conjunction with the ROAD W/PEACH Paul development that curb and gutter on the north side of Cochran Road between Peach Street and Paul development would be installed; (2) sidewalk would not be required at this time for the properties west of the Paul development; (3) the curb and gutter and drainage improvements on Cochran Road under the agreements for Carlin (2041 Cochran) and Schock (2025 Cochran) would be called for at this time; (4) the City would exchange curb, gutter and street paving for right-of-way fronting the Lewis parcel (2033 Cochran) and the Nielson property (2017 Cochran); (5) the sidewalk under the Carlin and Schock agreement would remain in effect with the City having the option to call for that at a later date. The one item left unresolved, which was part of Paul's initial request, was "Would the City pick up the paving fronting the Carlin and Schock properties?". This street paving is currently their responsibility and covered under the agreement that we have with them. The Council asked for costs on this paving prior to discussion this item further.

Since Carlin has the responsibility of installing the catch basin and lateral, it is felt that the City should extend the storm drain to the center of Peach and construct the necessary manhole. This storm drain, manhole and line will be used in the future for drainage on the west side of Peach. The other item of Council concern was how could assistance be provided to the owner of owner/occupied single family residences where the owner desired to install new curb, Continued February 1, 1984 One possible concept would be to establish a Revolving Fund for curb, gutter, and sidewalk installation or replacement. The property owner would put up 50% and the Revolving Fund would loan property owner the other 50% under a no or low interest loan to be paid back in 5 years. Based on amount this type of work cost in the past, approximately $10,000 would be needed if the 50%-50$ concept was used. The loan time, percentages and interest are conceptual and can be modified. If payment is not made, the City could lien the - property as part of the loan agreement. Gas tax monies could be used to start Revolving Fund. Diagrams of the subject area were presented for Council's perusal. Following discussion with questions being directed to Staff, Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Reid second, directed Staff to proceed with the calling for curb, gutter, and paving - Cochran Road Street Improvements, Peach Street to W.I.D.

REVISION OF Council was apprised that in 1980 the City of Lodi retained ` SEWER CIRDINANCE the firm of Black and Veatch to evaluate and make recommendations as it related to our industrial waste system and the users of that system. The evaluation performed by Black and Veatch included recommended changes in the Sewer Ordinance 1162 (Chapter 20 of Lodi City Code) related mainly to industrial wastewater discharges. In reviewing the recommended changes and the ongoing problems that we have had with illegal discharges into the storm drain system, it was felt that any revision of the ordinance should include additional limitations as it relates to storm drain discharges. In general, the changes under the proposed ordinance revision include the following: 1. Minor revisions to the Purpose and Policy and Definition sections of the ordinance to clarity the domestic, industrial waste and storm drainage discharges. 2. The allowable lower level on pH was increased from 5.0 to 6.5 to prevent corrosive damage to concrete pipe. 3. Requiring discharge permits on: a. Laver levels of grease and oils; b. Industrial waste discharges where solids and BCD exceed specific minimums. 4. *Requiring industrial users to screen discharge where particles are larger than 1.5 millimeters. 5.
