being directed to Staff and to persons who

On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore McCarty, Pinkerton
second, Council denied the appeal of Carl and
Jan Snell, 17933 Cluff Avenue, Lodi of the
Tentative Map of Willow Oaks Industrial Park
approved by the Lodi City Planning Commission
on August 11, 1980; however, directed Staff to
work out a condition to the approval of the
aforementioned tentative map, whereby present
traffic needs, dedications, and improvements
would be satisfied and the Snell and Jerome
homes would be spared until the ultimate
right-of-way has been developed. This would
be accomplished by transitioning the roadway
(two lanes) to the south (Anagnos'property) for
approximately 300 feet. The developer would be
responsible to contract with the Anagnos family
that they, the developers; would be responsible
for the roadway development. The motion carried

ADOPT MODEL
City Clerk Reimche apprised the Council that
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
on May 18, 1977, the Lodi City Council adopted
CODE ALLOWING FOR
a Conflict of Interest Code for designated
SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE
employees of the City and Planning Commission
TO AMEND EXISTING
members. Because of subsequent amendments to
CODE
the Political Reform Act or regulation changes
approved by the FPPC, codes such as that adopted
RES. NO. 80-126
by the City of Lodi have become outdated.
In March of this year, the FPPC put its new
-
model Conflict of Interest Code into regulation
form, making it available to be incorporated
by reference by local agencies when adopting
or amending their codes.
When, in the future, there are amendments,
these amendments will automatically go into
effect in every Code which incorporates the
regulations, following notification of such
amendments by the FPPC.
By using this procedure, an agency will eliminate
the need for spending its own staff resources
drafting conforming amendments to its Codes
and for spending additional time and money
to hold public hearings to formally adopt the
amendments.
Following discussion, on motion of Councilman
Pinkerton, Murphy second, Council adopted
Resolution No. 80-126 amending the City of
Lodi Conflict of Interest Code to incorporate
by reference the Fair Political Practice
Commission's standard model Conflict of Interest
Code.
VOTING DELEGATE Following introduction of the matter, Mayor
AND ALTERNATE Katnich moved that Councilman Pinkerton be
DESIGNATED FOR designated as voting delegate and Mayor Katnich
NATIONAL CONGRESS as Alternate for the National Congress of Cities
OF CITIES CONFERENCE Conference, to be held in Atlanta, GA, November

year. The incumbents in the present janitor
positions are performing less and less tradi-
tional janitorial work and are being used
more and more to service mechanical equipment
and make minor repairs to buildings. In
order to (1) recognize the higher level work
being performed and (2) to enable the City to
recruit better -trained individuals, staff is
asking that new job specifications be approved.
Council was further apprised that the immediate
situation is that the janitor assigned to the
library is due to retire. When the position
is filled again, it is recommended we recruit
someone with some mechanical and building
maintenance skills rather than just custodial
background.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions
being directed to Staff. Council indicated
its belief that the salary range proposed for
Building Service Worker - $1105.06 - $1343.27
monthly is too high and asked that the "Building
Service worker" segment of this Agenda item
be removed from the agenda for further review.
On motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Hughes
second, Council adopted new Class Specs and
salary ranges for the following positions:
Mechanic I $1215.50 - 1477.65 Monthl
Mechanic II $1279.48 - $1555.41 "
Mechanic III $1409.66 - $1714.21 "
REPORT RE Assistant City Manager Glenn presented a brief
TRANSPORTATION report regarding transportation which included
some of the following points:
Mr. Glenn reported that his present observation
of the City Cab Company is that it is very
much undercapitalized. There are not sufficient
assets to purchase new equipment, therefore,
the Company has resorted to purchasing used
police vehicles which are notorious "gas
Guzzlers", averaging 7 to 8 miles per gallon
of gasoline. City Cab Company operates 3
such vehicles plus a small foreign car. The
small car is economical to operate, however,
"we" have received complaints that it is too
small for a taxicab. Mr. Margrave suffered
a heart attack late in 1979 and is no longer
involved in the day-to-day operation of the
Cab Company. Therefore, much of the work that
he was doing is being hired out, raising
costs but not increasing revenues.

There has been an increase in the use of Dial -
A -Ride. The first two months of this fiscal
year, Dial -A -Ride averaged 120 riders per day,
an increase of 13% from last year. Because
of the lack of equipment, the delays of
customers not being picked up within the
half-hour time span has increased to well over
20%.
The estimated cost per day to operate an additional
cab is $80.00 considering drivers' wages and
benefits, the cost of gasoline, maintenance and
upkeep for the vehicle. City Cab Company is
making arrangements within the next week to
put on an additional cab. They feel that with
the increased ridership and increased subsidy
from the City, they can do this. However, this
will eat into any additional profits that the
Cab Company may have realized as there is no
assurance the additional piece of equipment
will generate additional customers.
Mr. Glenn indicated he had spent considerable
time with representatives from
COG and the California Department of Transporta-
tion to ascertain how the City can make the
best use of available transportation funds.
Because "we" have chosen only to provide
transportation for the elderly and handicapped,
"we" are somewhat limited in the manner in
which "we" can use our SB 325 funds and STA
funds.
At a meeting held Wednesday, September 3,
1980, Mr. Glenn learned that if. the City makes
a transportation system available to the general
public, it can provide subsidization for the
elderly and handicapped and the rest of the
general public pays whatever the cost of the
service has been determined to be. Then,
State transportation funds can be used for
capital acquisition. This may be an excellent
opportunity to avail ourselves of these funds
as there are State transportation funds available
for the next 18 months which can be used to
purchase equipment without jeopardizing or
using our SB 325 funds.
The LOEL Foundation has come forward asking
the City to subsidize a transportation system
to be operated by them. Their plan calls for
one bus to operate on a fixed route basis with
stops at supermarkets, downtown, LOEL Center,
and major medical office complexes.
LOEL Foundation asked the City to purchase the
vehicle for this purpose. "We" are not aware
of any present funding which allows the City to
make a capital purchase for transportation of
only the elderly and handicapped. There is
a possibility the LOEL Foundation will buy
such a vehicle. Por. Glenn was told,however,by a
representative of. the foundation that they
were not anxious to buy a vehicle but were more
concerned with improving the overall trans-
portation within the City of Lodi.
Representatives from the LOEL Foundation have
met with representatives of CALTRANS to finalize
an operating budget and to set up a routing
system for the bus. This information is
2:3U

necessary to prepare an application for funds
for this service.
It will require approximately 90 days for
delivery on a van or bus and in the interim,
the grant application can be prepared.
Whether or not the LOEL Foundation is going
to purchase a bus at this point is unknown.
On September 8, 1980, the City received noti-
fication that there is now available State-
wide $6,444,000 in discretionary funds for the
purpose of public transportation for low mobi-
lity individuals such as the elderly and the
handicapped, with special public transportation
needs which cannot otherwise be met. "We"
do not know yet whether "we" can make use of
these funds as the main thrust seems to be
previous use of Federal and State funds and
new projects rather than enhancing existing
programs. We are looking into the possibility
of making use of these funds either to purchase
a mini -bus or additional taxicabs.
The long-range plan for transportation in Lodi
is to first ascertain what our transportation
needs are. Mr. Glenn is working with the
transportation planners from the Council of
Governments to do a needs assessment which
will include determining locations of the
poor, the elderly, the handicapped, minorities,
and where people need transportation from and
to. A major problem here is that census data is -
outdated. By the time the old data can be re-
worked the 1980 census data will be available.
The second step is to evaluate our present
system. The State Department of Transportation
has indicated that they will make themselves
available in a limited way to make this evalu-
ation and contact has been made for them to
evaluate our present service in terms of rider-
ship, miles travelled and other historical
information relative to the present operation.
If "we" determine that the present system
is not meeting the present needs, it would then
be appropriate to develop a new transportation
plan.
In the event a new transportation system is
needed, a request for proposal for a transportation
system should be issued by the City Council.
There are a number of companies that have
the management expertise to design and manage
such an operation for the City of Lodi. The
City of Lodi would at all times maintain
control as to hours of operation, cost of
service and how the service will be provided -
whether a fixed route or Dial -A -Ride or a modi-
fication of either one of them; and would --
contract with someone to provide the day-to-
day management of this program. All of these
planning functions can be financed from SB 325
funds.
Mr. Glenn suggested the City go forth with
applying for grants to provide assistance to
City Cab Company so that they can meet the
231

present demands for service and to apply for
assistance to subsidize the system proposed
by LOEL Foundation. Mr. Glenn further sug-
gested that the City wait until the most current
census data is available to conduct a needs
assessment.
No formal action was taken by the Council on
the matter.
