Ranch into the City of Lodi and also any extention
of the city boundaries in the southeast section

being directed to Staff, and to persons in the

Mrs. Janet Pruss, 2421 Diablo Drive, Lodi asked
for an explanation as to why the utilities
were installed in the subject area before the
annexation was approved.
City Manager Glaves explained that in 1953 the
City adopted the City's General Plan. The
General Plan lines at that time included this
property. All utility services were planned to
fit the General Plan. Subsequent to that,
according to City Manager Glaves, drainage plans
were approved. The utility plan was sized to
fit the General Plan of the City.
Mr. Robert Edgar Richards, 13737 N. Cherokee
Lane, Lodi addressed the Council stating that
people outside the City cannot vote for
members of the City Council and yet the Council
votes on annexation of property located outside
the City limits. Mr. Riehards stated that they
aren't being represented by the City Council.

City Manager Glaves reminded the Council that
when the lease for the 13 acre City owned parcel
located west of Lodi Lake Park came up for renewal
RES. NO. 80-5
last year, the City Council was concerned about
the rental fee received and the procedure for
leasing the subject property. The City Manager
related that he had discussed the renewal of the
LEASE RENEWAL - 13
lease with Mr. Mayer, the present tenant, who is
ACRES WEST OF LODI
willing to lease at present conditions, but
LAKE
has little interest at an increased rental rate.
Mr. Mayer readily acknowledged the higher pre-
wailing rates for vineyard leases, but cites
`'
special circumstances and problems that make this
parcel of marginal value.
Following discussion, with questions being directed
to Staff, Council on motion of Councilman Hughes,
Pinkerton second,authorized the City Clerk to
advertise for proposals for the lease of the
aforementioned City owned parcel.
The City Manager informed the City Council that
the City has received a renewal notice for contract
adminis=ration from ESIS for the City's worker's
RENEIWAL AGREEMENT
compensation self insured program. The cost this
WITH ESIS
year is $624.00 higher than last year plus an
„ -'
excess fee of $75 for claims over, 65. The City
APPROVED -
has not in its self-insured experience had over
65 claims in any one year. This excess provision
is protection for ESIS and should pose no signifi-
cant additional costs to the City.
On motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Hughes second,
Council approved the renewal Agreement with ESIS
for Worker's Compensation Administration as
outlined by the City Manager and authorized the
t
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement on
