COMMUNICATIONS Following introduction of the matter by City Clerk (CITY CLERK) Reimche, Council on motion of Councilman Hughes, Murphy second, rejected the Claim filed on behalf CLAIMS of Robert Hart and referred the same to the City's Contract Administrator, R.L. Kautz and Company. OLD LODI HIGH City Clerk Reimche presented the -following letter SCHOOL SITE which had been received from Robert Van Rooyen, 1 Lt. CAP, Commanding Lodi Squadron 54, Civil Air Patrol, regarding the old Lodi High School site: Lodi Composite Squadron 54, Civil Air Patrol, has now been officially formed, is accredited, and has officially been meeting for three weeks. Prior to our official formation we met at Senior Elementary School, Legion Park, member's residences, and now finally at the National Guard Armory at Washington and Lockeford Streets. Finding and keeping, a meeting place is a problem for any organization without operating funds, supported by private dona- tions, performing public service functions. This is to re -affirm our interest in the "Old Lodi High School" site as a permanent meeting place. I noticed that the "site" is up for discussion again on your 5 November City Council Agenda under item "S". We are looking forward to the Public Hearing on usage of the "site", and would like you to consider our application to use a building such as the former Auto Shop on an ongoing basis. We have the manpower to make moderate, necessary, improvements to such building if materials are supplied. Our Squadron is undergoing certification proce- dures to also act as a Boy Scout Explorer Post. There was a precedent with the former Stockton CAP Cadet Squadron. We feel this would strengthen our base in the community and serve a real unmet need to provide an opportuni- ty for aviation interested youngsters to train for a flying career. Squadron 54 presently has 18 members and 5 aircraft assigned and more members and aircraft in the process of joining. COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCILMEN DAN TALBOT COMMENDED Following introduction of the matter by FOR ACTIONS Councilman James Pinkerton, the City Clerk was directed to forward a letter on behalf of the Lodi City Council to Dan Talbot commending him for his quick thinking and actions in extinguishing a recent fire in the area of a Lodi school site. -4- 29j Continued November 19, 1980 REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER CONSENT In accordance with report and recommendation of CALENDAR the City Manager, the following actions, hereby set forth between asterisks, on motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Murphy second, were approved by the Council. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CLAIMS CLAIMS WERE APPROVED IN THE AMOUNT OF $681,552.69.

FLOWER from Constantine I. Baranoff, Administrative Direc- tor of Facilities and Planning regarding Walter E. Flower and the Flora Street Abandonment: It is our understanding that we have complied with the City Council's conditions when the district requested the abandonment of Flora Street. Specifically, the City's condition grant Mr. Flower's access on the northeast portion of the Heritage School. We went beyond and actually fenced off a twenty foot strip of pavement area to facilitate access. Apparently there is still a misunderstanding as to what conditions of use 14.r. Flower has of the subject access. We have offered a license to facilitate his intended use as long as he maintains the business. Since the district has no use of the property and is pretty well resolved to using the remaining school site, I belive we could be receptive to two alternatives in hopes of satisfying Mr. Flower's conditions: 1. Grant an easement to the City of Lodi on the twenty foot strip. We are explicitly prohibited from qranting an easement to 30U Continued November 19, 1980 private parties or individuals. 2. We can sell the property at public auction at a minimum bid of fair market value. Mr. Flower can then bid on this property and compete with any other bidders that may desire this land. I believe our hands are legally tied from simply giving the property to Mr. Flower. Our County Counsel advises that this would be in direct violation prohibiting gifts of public funds or property. Following Council discussion regarding the matter, with questions being directed to the Staff, Council directed the City Attorney to work with Mr. Flower to arrive at an amiable solution. WILLOW OAKS A letter regarding the Willow Oaks Industrial INDUSTRIAL Park, dated November 6, 1980, from Steve Weddell PARK of Morton and Pitalo, Inc., was presented for Council's consideration. The following requests were set forth in the letter for Council's consideration: OUTLET STRUCTURE - This structure is to be constructed at the terminal end of the storm drain line where it empties into the Mokelumne River. The timing of the construc- tion of this element is critical. During the late winter months, the "boards" are removed from the dam and the level of the river drops to its annual low. During this two or three month period, is the only time each year this structure could be built. Therefore, if it is not planned for, designed and constructed in the spring of 1981, a one year delay of the storm drain and our project will be certain. It has been reported that the City has some $600,000 in its master storm drain fund. we request that the City Council direct the necessary moneys from this fund for the construction of not only the aforementioned outlet structure, but the storm drain through the subject pro- perty to Turner Road and then east on Turner Road to its intersection with Cluff Avenue. 2. OUTLET STRUCTURE EASEMENT - The north -south property line that separates the Casa de Lodi trailer park and the Willow Oaks Industrial Park extends northerly to its intersection with the Mokelumne River. If the master storm drain line were to be built totally on the Willow Oaks Industrial Park land, it would parallel the property line and end up discharging against the flow of the river. The City, I am sure, is aware of this fact and is planning on a different location which would require securing an easement from the Casa de Lodi trailer park. It is requested this easement be secured by the City. -1n- 301 Continued November 19, 1980 3. STORM DRAIN EASEMENTS - As a part of the master storm drain, a storm drain easement should be secured by the City. Under normal conditions, a much smaller storm drain pipe would be required to drain the subject property. An easement of 10 feet in width would be adequate to handle that smaller storm drain. Due to the large size of the master storm drain, however, an easement of 15 feet or more will be required. It is requested, therefore, that the City compensate Willow Oaks Industrial Park for any additional land lost to storm drain easements. Public Works Director Ronsko presented the following responses on behalf of staff regarding the afore- mentioned requests: 1. OUTLET STRUCTURE The City's letter dated October 17, 1980, to the Economic Development Administration requests that the City of Lodi be given approval to install the outlet structure during the early part of 1981, while the boards are still out of the dam, and that upon receiving grant approval we be able to credit the amount of this contract to our total matching requirement for the overall east area storm drain grant. The immediate installation of this outfall structure and outfall line to Turner and Cluff, benefits the developments of Willow Oaks Industrial Park and Sanitary City. Since the total project will take approxi- mately a year to construct, the immediate installation of outfall structure and line will not affect the timing of the total EDA project. The immediate installation of the outfall structure and outfall storm drain line to Turner Road and Cluff Avenue (approxi- mately 1200 feet), is estimated at approxi- mately $165,000. The City does have $600,000 budgeted for its matching share for the total East Area Storm Drain EDA Project. Any construction done at this time could be funded out of that amount. However, if we are unable to credit the expenditure toward our total required matching, the City would be losing EDA funds equal to 50% of the expenditure. OUTLET STRUCTURE EASEMENT The City of Lodi gave the developers of Willow Oaks the choice of locating the storm outfall. line and easement anywhere in Parcel n4. It was their desire to locate it as far west as possible and then they would move the easterly property line of b�`i Continued November 19, 1980 Parcel #3 to coincide with the westerly line of the storm drain easement. We did not want to damage the existing improvements at the Case de Lodi Mobile Home -Park. Therefore, the master plan outfall storm drain was located 25' east of the Casa de Lodi property line. It is not our intent, nor has it ever been our intent, to discharge directly against the flow of the Mokelumne River. Our engineering indicates that with the appropriate outfall structure, we will be able to discharge in a downstream direction and there will be no required easement from the Casa de Lodi Mobile Home Park. The alternate of going across the mobile home park property has been discussed, however, it was solely for the convenience of Willow Oaks Industrial Park development and the golf course facility. Therefore, if the alternate alignment is desired by Willow Oaks Industrial Park, it should be their responsibility to obtain any necessary easement. 3. STORM DRAIN EASEMENT One of the conditions of the Planning Commission approval of the Willow Oaks Industrial Park tentative map was that the developer dedicate the necessary utility easements including the easement needed for the master plan storm drain outfall line. The 15' permanent public utility easement is for the purpose of future maintenance of the outfall storm drain. The 15' dimension is mainly due to the 15' depth of the storm drain rather than due to an increased size of the storm drain. A plan showing the existing Casa de Lodi development and the parcels of the approved tentative map, together with the proposed alignment of the 15' storm drain utility easement was presented for Council's perusal. The easement is wholly on Parcel #4 (3.9 acres) and is located 25' east of the Casa de Lodi property line. With appropriate site planning, there is no reason that the permanent utility easement cannot be used for roadways, parking or open storage purposes and, therefore, the easement will not hinder the develop- ment of the parcel. If a ten foot easement was acceptable, together with the fact that there is a minimum 5 -foot setback at the property line and considering the location of the 10' easement and the total size of the parcel, building structures would normally be located away from the easement and property line. The additional 2' foot easement width on each side of the ten -foot easement (needed to provide a 15' P.U.E.) 303 Continued November 19, 1980 really doesn't affect the development of this parcel. As a condition of the rezoning of this subject parcel, the City Council is requiring all developments adjacent to the mobile home park to be reviewed by SPARC. It is felt that 15' easement is only needed from Turner Road to the top of the bank at the flood plain (approximately 450 feet). Based on a recent appraisal, the value of the 5 additional feet is approximately $250. The precedent setting aspect of this request should be considered in making any decision. The cost of development includes the dedi- cation of easements and rights-of-way. A very lengthy discussion followed with questions regarding the matter being directed to Staff and to representatives of the Willow Oaks Industrial Park who were in the audience. In regard to the "Outlet Structure", Council, on motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Murphy second, directed Staff to complete the design work on the outfall structure and line from the Mokelumne River to Cluff Avenue and to have the plans and specifica- tions prepared on this project to bring back to the City Council at its December 10, 1980 meeting, pending clarification from EDA regarding the project. SUSPENSION OF Council was in receipt of a letter received from REQUIREMENT OF Walter Sanborn, Chairman of the CLIC Committee PAYING FOR requesting the following: PARKING IN METERED AREAS a) Suspension of the requirement of paying for AND EXTENSION OF parking in metered areas from November 28 to 1 -HOUR LIMITATION and including January 3, 1981. AREAS b) Authorization to allow 2 -hour parking in RES. No. 80-163 present 1 -hour limitation areas, for the same period. The letter further states that - The objective is to allow customers a more comfortable Christmas shopping period. The merchants and businesses within the metered parking district are most anxious to have meters "hooded" during the coming Christmas season. They believe by so doing that: 1. the customers will be most appreciate; 2. there will be a beneficial increase in retail sales; 3. hopefully this act will attract more customers to the area; 4. this trial period will give substantial factual data re the permanent removal of meters hence forward; 5. will give data upon which to change current parking time allowances; 304 Continued November 19, 1980 6. indicate to property owners and our Lodi shopping customers that CLIC is indeed making progress with our improvement project. Following discussion, on motion of Councilman Murphy, Pinkerton second, Council adopted Resolution No. 80-163 suspending the requirement of paying for T metered parking in metered areas from November 28 through January 3, 1981 and allowing 2 -hour parking' in present 1 -hour limitation areas for the same period. REPORT RE A brief report regarding Rio Vista's transportation COMMUTER BUS system, Greyhound Bus Lines schedule for Highway 12 SERVICE and overall patronage figures for the Rio Vista Rural Areawide Public Transit System was presented by Assistant City Manager Glenn. CLARIFICATION RE Following introduction of the matter by Public Works COUNCIL'S ACTION Director Ronsko, on motion of Councilman Pinkerton, RE INTERSECTION Murphy second, Council adopted Resolution No. OF SACRAMENTO 80-164 rescinding Resolution No. 80-147 and replacing STREET AND VINE "Yield" signs with "Stop" signs at Vine Street and STREET Pleasant Avenue and at Vine Street and Lee Avenue. RES. NO. 80-164 WHITE SLOUGH Following introduction of the matter by City Manager NO. 2 NON Glaves, on motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Murphy CONTIGUOUS second, Council adopted Resolution No, 80-165 - ANNEXATION TO "Resolution making determination and approving THE CITY OF LODI the White Slough No. 2 (non-contiguous annexation) to the City of Lodi". RES. NO. 80-165 ACCEPTANCE OF Council was apprised that the improvements in "MUNICIPAL "Municipal Service Center, Phase I" contract which SERVICE CENTER, had been awarded to Modern Engineering and PHASE I Construction Co., Inc., on August 1, 1979 in the amount of $262,750. has been completed in sub- stantial conformance with the plans and specifica- tions approved by the City Council. The final contract price was $270,137.20. The difference betweei the contract amount and the final contract price is due to additional construction work, tree removal, as well as modifications made in office and restroom areas. On motion of Councilman Hughes, Pinkerton second, Council accepted the improvements in "Municipal Service Center, Phase I", and directed the Public Works Director to file a Notice of Completion thereon. APPOINTMENTS Mayor Katnich appointed Councilman Murphy and TO COMMITTEE Councilman Pinkerton to serve on a Committee with RE SANITARY Assistant City Manager Glenn to meet with CITY representatives of Sanitary City Disposal Company DISPOSAL CO., regarding their recent request for an amendment to INC., CONTRACT their current Contract.
