would be required.
Acknowledging the City of Lodi may have sufficient funds for
such a project, we, the members of the Lodi Lions Club wish to
inform you of our interest in possibly assisting other interested
service clubs in performing the necessary tasks to install
selected shrubs and other suggestions made by the Master Plan

The Lodi Lions Club has received supportive interest from the Lodi

groups within our community who would appreciate a request for
participation. The Lodi Sunrise Lions Club has also requested
their group be considered.
Our request is that we be allowed to receive the project information

requirements. With a given time frame in which to evaluate and
respond to the Lodi City Council, we would be able to state which
service clubs would participate, and what each group would provide

City Attorney Stein gave the following report regarding his
September 15, 1982 meeting with PCP officials regarding parking:
PARKING
On September 15, 1982, Councilman Randy Snider and I met with
PROBLEMS IN
Jim Schweickardt, Personnel Employee Relations Manager and
AREA OF PCP
Jose Rodriguez, Business Representative of Cannery Local 601
of Pacific Coast Producers to discuss the PCP parking problem.
During said meeting, I learned that at the present time, there
is a three-year contract that was previously negotiated and
i
at this time, it would not be possible to amend said contract
4
to require cannery workers to park in the designated parking lot.
Both Mr. Schweickardt and Mr. Rodriguez had no problem with the
City enforcing the State and local Codes regarding parking on
the streets adjacent to the Cannery. Mr. Rodriguez said if the
employees are obstructing driveways, their vehicles should -be
removed.
We also discussed the possibility of moving the time clock to
the parking lot area and we were told by both the Union
Representative and the Employee Relations Manager of PCP that
this would not be feasible due to logistics problems at the
Cannery.
It was determined that the Union and Management would join
-
together in a communique to the Cannery workers and ask that
they voluntarily park in the Cannery parking lot and further
that they no longer litter the streets in and around the
Cannery.
Further, it was suggested that the Police Department vigorously
enforce the City and State Codes regarding obstruction of
driveways, streets, and property.
Another suggestion was that if there is no resolution of the
problem over the next couple of years, that at that time a
request be made of the PCP Union and Management to adopt a
compulsory parking requirement.
Other discussion at the meeting was the possibility, as a
last resort, of going to permit parking as set forth under
Lodi City Code Section 1484.1.
Neither the PCP Union or Management representative was
opposed to the use of permit parking as a resolution of the
problem.
Possible courses of -action for resolution of the subject
problem were outlined as follows by City Attorney Stein:
RES. NO. 82-109
1) Vigorous enforcement of the State and local codes regarding
ADOPTED
parking and obstruction of driveways.
ESTABLISHING
RED ZONING
2) Inspection by Police Department one-half hour after each
IN AREA OF PCP
shift begins for violations (shifts begin at 11:00 p.m.,
7:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m.)
3) Consider preferential parking permits under the Lodi City
Code Section 1484.1.
4. Contracts to be negotiated three years hence, the PCP Union
and Management agree to compulsory parking requirements.
2qy-
inued Septem..ber 15, 1982
5) Red curbing the ends of driveways.
A very lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff.
On motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Murphy second, Council adopted
Resolution No. 82-109 directing that red curbing be established
at the ends of driveways in an area earlier reviewed by Council.
