ORD. NO. 1067 Councilman Ehrhardt then moved introduction of
INTRODUCED Ordinance No. 1067 entitled - "Ordinance Repealing
Chapter 4 of the Code of the City of Lodi and
Re-enacting Said Chapter 4 to be Entitled 'Bicycles -
Licensing Required' ". The motion was seconded by
Councilman Pinkerton and carried.
City Manager Glaves reported to the Council that the
work of the Lodi Avenue median removal, Hutchins
Street to Lee Avenue had been awarded to H. Max
Lee of Lodi by purchase order on October 29, I975 in
the amount of $1, 865. The purchase order was issued
after receipt of three informal bids. Mr. Glaves
stated that the work had been completed in substantial
conformance with the plans and specifications and
recommended that the City Council accept these im-
provements.
Questions regarding the length of the left turn -pocket on
Lodi Avenue in the area of Hutchins and Lee were
directed to staff by Councilman Pinkerton. Councilman
Pinkerton expressed his concern that the drawing that
had been presented to the Council by staff had depicted
a 5 -car left turn pocket in this area, but upon comple-
tion of this pocket, his measurements indicated the
capacity is approximately 7 cars.
Council discussion followed with other Council members
indicating they felt Council's direction had been followed
in this matter.
ACCEPTANCE OF Public Works Director Ronsko indicated that the
''LODI AVENUE apparent discrepancy was probably due to the method of
MEDIAN measurement, and then explained the proper manner in
REMOVAL" which the measurements of the length of a pocket of
this type should be made.
Councilman Pinkerton then asked that future drawings
furnished by the Engineering Department to the Council
should be drawn to a more exact scale. Councilman
Hughes indicated that in the interest of holding down
costs in Government and avoiding "red tape" that this
restriction not be placed on staff.
',/Ir. Ronsko inferred that "skewmatic" drawings, simi-
lar to the one used on this subject, have always been of
an adequate scale and that the error was in the method
of measurement and not the scale of the drawing.
ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION RE Additional discussion followed regarding traffic
LODI AVENUE violations that had been witnessed in the area where the
median had been replaced on Lodi Avenue by double -
double yellow lines. Councilman Katnich stated that if
violations of this type persist, he will be the first person
to recommend that the medians be put back. Council-
man Ehrhardt suggested that crosshatching be provided
in the bulb area of the left-hand turn pocket striping as
an aid to the motorist.
On motion of Councilman Katnich, Ehrhardt second, the
City Council accepted the improvements in "Lodi Avenue
Median Removal, Hutchins Street to Lee Avenue", and
directed the Public works Director to file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's Office.
