PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice thereof having been published and an affidavit of
publication being on file in the office of the City Clerk,
CONSIDERATION OF Mayor Reid called for the continued Public Hearing regarding
DECLARATION OF the L.U.S.D. Declaration of Impaction dated September 7, 1982.
IMPACTION DATED
9/7/82 BY LUSD The matter was introduced by .City Manager Glaves. Councilman
Pinkerton suggested that Mayor Reid and Council Member Snider
1 l t could have a conflict of interest inasmuch as their wives
are teachers for the Lodi Unified School District. Both
Mayor Reid and Council Member Snider stepped down from their
Council seats thereby abstaining from the discussion and voting
on this matter. Mayor Pro Tempore Murphy chaired this portion
of the meeting.
Councilman Pinkerton then asked City Attorney Stein to give a
report of Proposition 1 and the impact of its recent passage.
Following Mr. Stein's report, the hearing was opened to the
floor. Speaking on behalf of the Lodi Unified School District
was Facility Planner, Mary Joan Starr.
Ms. Starr asked that the "bedroom tax" be continued for 1982-83
and gave an overview of the 1982-83 Declaration of Impaction
Report. Ms. Starr further requested that the fee be raised to
$260.00 per bedroom on residential units.
Also addressing the Council on the matter was John Vatsula,
President of the Board of Education.
A very lengthy discussion followed with questions being
directed to Ms. Starr, Mr. Vatsula, and to Staff.
Ms. Starr and Mr. Vatsula attempted to point out that it would
be a couple of years until the benefits of Proposition 1 would
have any affect on the problem of Impaction.
Additional discussion followed.
There being no other persons in the audience wishing to speak
on the matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed.
Councilman Pinkerton indicated that it is his belief that
those persons who will be paying bedroom tax really are being
discriminated against.
Following additional discussion with questions being directed
to Staff and to the City Attorney, Council, on motion of
Councilman Pinkerton determined that the School District had
not used "reasonable methods for mitigating conditions of
overcrowding" i.e. the use of available bond or state loan
revenues to the extent authorized by law as set forth in City
of Lodi Ordinance No. 1129 and therefore determined not to
collect the bedroom tax effective this date. The motion was
seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Murphy and carried by the following
323
continued November 3, 1982
vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Pinkerton and Murphy
Noes: Council Members - Olson
Abstain: Council Members - Snider and Reid
Absent: Council Members - None
Following this action, the City Attorney was directed to check
with the Fair Political Practices Commission to ascertain if in
fact there is a Conflict of Interest by Council Members whose
spouses are employed by the Lodi Unified School District.
RECESS A recess was declared and the City Council reconvened at
approximately 9:20 p.m.
