COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS
a) Greg Sayler, representing GTS Construction, 1238 Bentwood Drive, Gait, addressed the
City Council regarding agenda item #E-7 entitled, "Award contract for Lodi Lake fishing
dock, 1101 West Turner Road".
Mr. Sayler indicated that GTS Construction is the apparent low bidder on this project;
however, due to the City's specifications not being clear enough on the drilling for
footings, the concrete subcontractor feels that he now must withdraw his bid. Mr. Sayler
feels it is in the best interest to clarify this matter and defer the vote to another time.
The City Attorney responded that this is not a statutory option and that the Council could
award this project to the second low bidder and then go after the low bidder bond for the
difference.
Council Member Land asked for information on who was at fault. Mr. Sayler responded
that the point in question is the drilling for footings. Until a hole is actually drilled, there
are a lot of unknowns, and it was not clear on the plan to the concrete contractor. It was
agreed at a recent meeting that there is no way of knowing until the holes are drilled.
Continued December 15, 1999
Public Works Director Prima commented that the plans very clearly show that the fishing
dock is in the lake and then after November 15' the lake will be drained. Unforeseen
conditions are things that do occur, but the fact that a hold from 13 to 19 feet deep may
not hold up is troublesome to him and should have been foreseen. Mr. Prima indicated
that he is reluctant to proceed without talking to the second low bidder.
Following additional discussion, the City Council, on motion of Mayor Mann, Hitchcock
second, unanimously tabled this matter for two weeks.

ACTION ON ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
a) Agenda item #E-3 entitled, "Purchase of copier for Recreation Division".
As the Parks and Recreation Director reported in his Council Communication, the existing
Xerox copier in the Recreation Division was purchased in August 1992. It currently has
over 1.1 million copies and has become unreliable as the copy volume increases.
The department was funded in the 1999/00 fiscal year for the replacement of a duplicator
($10,200, page E-8) and replacement of the copier in 2000/01 ($20,500); however, the
copier has become a priority due to age and unreliability. Staff feels replacing the
duplicator can be postponed until the next two-year fiscal cycle.
If approved, this purchase would be made under a rider to the three-year San Joaquin
County copier contract with Minolta through Business Office Systems of Stockton. The
County contract was awarded in July 1998, following a Request for Proposal in which
respondents were evaluated on price, responsiveness, equipment usability and reference
checks. Contract provisions allow all public agencies in the County the option to
"piggyback" to take advantage of the County's favorable pricing, and Lodi City Code
Section 3.20.070 allows for the purchase of equipment, supplies and services when the
method of purchase is determined by the City Council to be in the best interest of the City.
Staff reviewed several copiers and found the Minolta Di520 to meet staff needs.
Maintenance costs will be significantly lower than what the department currently expends
on the Xerox. The first year of maintenance is included with the Minolta purchase, which
will save the department approximately $1,500 in maintenance costs for the existing
copier during the current fiscal year. Maintenance for years two through four is expected
to be approximately $2,000. The existing Xerox copier will be sent to auction.
Council Member Pennino removed this item in order to suggest that the City take a look at
a uniform City-wide maintenance agreement. City Manager Flynn responded that he
would look into this matter.
Continued December 15, 1999
Following additional discussion, the City Council, on motion of Council Member Pennino,
Land second, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 99-194 authorizing the purchase of a
replacement copier for the Recreation Division from Business Office Systems, of
Stockton, in the amount of $21,092.06.
b) Agenda item #E-9 entitled, "Public Works Department to submit Measure K Expenditure
Plan request to San Joaquin County Council of Governments (SJCOG)".
Public Works Director Prima reported that San Joaquin County Council of Governments
(SJCOG) has unprogrammed Measure K funds for transportation projects and is updating
its expenditure plan. The expenditure plan amendment process is where new projects
and/or funding categories could be added to the Measure K Program. Staff is requesting
$250,000 for Lodi transit operations, and an additional allocation of street maintenance
funds specifically for street cleaning and landscape maintenance. Staff suggested ten
percent of the street maintenance allocation, which for fiscal year 1999/00 represents
approximately $60,000.
Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi pulled this item from the Consent Calendar to ask about
SJCOG funding and if Lodi is getting its fair share. Responses were provided by both
Public Works Director Prima and Council Member Pennino.
Following additional discussion, the City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Nakanishi, Mann second, unanimously approved the Public Works Department to submit
Measure K Expenditure Plan request to SJCOG.
C) Agenda item #E-10 entitled, "Approve No -Parking on Lower Sacramento Road from
Kettleman Lane to the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) Canal".
Public Works Director Prima informed the City Council that the street master plan for
Lower Sacramento Road includes parking restrictions to accommodate the four through
lanes, shared shoulder/bike lanes, dedicated turn lanes, and landscaped median.
Currently, "no parking" restrictions exist on Lower Sacramento Road between the WID
canal and Turner Road. Staff requested City Council approve "no parking" on the
remaining segment, from the WID canal to Kettleman Lane, at this time. At its December
1, 1999 meeting, City Council adopted an ordinance restricting vehicles for sale on public
streets, with certain conditions. At this location, staff recommended replacing the
vehicles -for -sale -restriction signs north of Vine Street with the no -parking signs at this
time to avoid any confusion.
Staff will post the remaining no -parking areas as the need arises.
This item was removed by Council Member Pennino who asked if the property owners
had been notified. Public Works Director Prima responded that they were properly
notified. Council Member Pennino further indicated that the City should avoid putting up
excessive signage.
Following questions by Council Member Hitchcock, staff was directed to notify renters on
the properties in the area.
The City Council, on motion of Council Member Pennino, Hitchcock second, unanimously
adopted Resolution No. 99-199 approving the no -parking restrictions on Lower
Sacramento Road from Kettleman Lane to the WID canal.

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Mann called for the Public Hearing to consider
the Planning Commission's recommendation that the City Council adopt an amendment to
the City of Lodi Municipal Code, Chapter 17, by adding Section 17.73 "Live Entertainment
Permits".
Community Development Director Bartlam reminded the City Council, that he gave a
presentation at the Shirtsleeve meeting on September 14, 1999 regarding live
entertainment and the current regulations governing their establishment. The City Council
direction from that meeting was to develop an administrative process that minor or
accessory types of live entertainment requests could be reviewed without having to go
through a Use Permit.
The process outlined in the draft ordinance is similar to that used for Administrative
Deviations. Again, the idea being to identify a specific set of criteria that would have to
exist prior to an application for the administrative process. If the scenario did not fit within
the criteria, a Use Permit would then need to be sought.
The City Manager, Economic Development Director and the Community Development
Director met on several occasions to draft the criteria shown. The Planning Commission,
at their October 27`h meeting, voted to recommend approval of this new process. The
Commission felt that the type of entertainment that would fall into the administrative
process would indeed be incidental, and pursuing this would streamline the review while
still ensuring appropriate conditions.
The final piece of this will be to set a filing fee for the new review. Should the City Council
approve the draft ordinance, staff will recommend a resolution at the next meeting for that
purpose.
Council Member Hitchcock asked for clarification on the verbiage of nuisance. Council
Member Nakanishi asked if this would have taken care of the House of Coffee matter that
had previously gone before the City Council. Council Member Land responded that the
tenant had not gotten approval from the property owner.
Community Development Director Bartlam indicated that this ordinance would not affect
residential property if it were a wedding or something of that nature; however, if there
were numerous events and a charge to attend, it would fall under this proposed
ordinance.
Council Member Pennino stated that he struggles with the concept of the City doing
anything it wants and the citizens cannot. Further, Council Member Pennino indicated
that he would like to see item A ("any amplification of entertainment must be confined
indoors") removed from the draft ordinance and a new streamlined process created for
both City and the private sector.
Further discussion followed among the City Council regarding concerns about
amplification and the cost for the permit.
Hearing Opened to the Public

Continued December 15, 1999
ACTION:
Following a lengthy discussion, the City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Nakanishi, Land second, introduced Ordinance No. 1686 entitled, "An Ordinance Of The
Lodi City Council Amending Lodi Municipal Code Title 17 — Zoning, By Adding Chapter
17.73, Relating To Live Entertainment Permits" but amending the criteria to allow outdoor
amplification from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. only by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members — Land, Nakanishi and Mann (Mayor)
Noes: Council Members — Hitchcock and Pennino
Absent: Council Members — None
9. RECESS
Mayor Mann called for a ten-minute recess, and the City Council meeting reconvened at
approximately 8:40 p.m.
10. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Mann called for the Public Hearing to consider
the Planning Commission's recommendation that the City Council adopt the Growth
Management Allocations.
Community Development Director Bartlam reported that each year the City has the ability
to award residential building permits for a projected 2% growth in population for the
current year. Based on a population of 56,926 as of January 1, 1999, the City has 424
residential building permits to allocate this year. Of the 424 permits, 65% or 276 are for
single-family residential units, 10% or 42 are for medium -density residential units such as
duplexes and townhouses, and 25% or 106 are for high-density residential units such as
apartments.
This year is somewhat different than previous years in that staff only received one
application under the growth management schedule from the Century Meadows IV project
for 17 building permit allocations. In previous years, there have been multiple applications
and some level of competition for said allocations. Given the current scenario, there are
more allocations available than what are being requested and no competition.
Century Meadows IV is located at 2360 West Century Boulevard on the southwest corner
of Century Boulevard and Mills Avenue. The proposed 29.85 acre subdivision contains
137 residential lots at a density of 4.6 units per acre. The average lot size in this
proposed subdivision approximates 6,350 square feet; however, there are also 10 very
large (10,000 square feet or over) irregularly shaped cul-de-sac lots in the development.
The minimum lot size in the R-2 zone is 5,000 square feet with a lot width of at least 50
feet. Duplexes are allowed on corner lots provided the lot is a minimum of 6,000 square
feet with a lot width of 60. This development plan was awarded 120 growth management
allocations between 1989 and 1992. As presented on the "Staff Recommended Building
Permit Allocation Schedule", the applicant has requested 17 single-family allocations to
enable them to build an additional 17 lots.
The additional 17 lots are the result of Planning, Public Works and Parks and Recreation
staff working with the applicant to redesign the subdivision in 1998. The new layout of the
development focused on relocating the 4.5 acre neighborhood park site, from the corner
of Mills Avenue and Century Boulevard to the upland portion of the future DeBenedetti
Park, directly adjacent on the west side.
51
Continued December 15, 1999
Originally, Century Meadows IV was divided into two units, one consisting of 87 lots and
the other consisting of 33 lots and the park. Both phases taken together equal 120 lots,
hence the 120 building permit allocations previously awarded to the project. By relocating
the park, the developer was able to add an additional 17 single family lots, for a total of
137.
Hearing Opened to the Public
There was no one wishing to speak on this matter
Public Portion of Hearing Closed
ACTION:
Council Member Hitchcock expressed a concern of the lack of infrastructure regarding
schools in the City of Lodi. She suggested the City Council support the proposed initiative
on the March 2000 ballot that would reduce the supermajority, or two-thirds requirement,
to pass school bonds to a simple majority. The Council suggested that this matter be
discussed at a future meeting.
Following the discussion, the City Council, on motion of Council Member Pennino,
Hitchcock second, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 99-203 approving the 1999
Growth Management Allocations.
b) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Mann called for the Public Hearing to confirm
the 2000 Annual Report for the Downtown Lodi Business Improvement Area No. 1 and
levy of assessment.
City Attorney Hays reminded the City Council that at its meeting of November 17, 1999,
the Business Improvement Area (BIA) Annual Report was presented to the Council. The
Council accepted that report and established December 15, 1999 as the time and date for
the public hearing to be held on the proposed levy for the Business Improvement Area
purposes. That hearing is called for and set pursuant to §36535 of the California Streets
and Highways Code. At the hearing, the public has an opportunity to present written or
oral protests to the proposed assessment. In order for such a protest to be successful,
the protest must comply with the provisions of §36524 and §35525 of the California
Streets and Highways Code. For an Assessment protest to be successful, written
protests must be received from the owners of businesses in the improvement area which
will pay fifty percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied. If such a level of
protest is not reached, a resolution should be adopted by the Council confirming the
report as originally filed or as changed by it. The adoption of such a resolution constitutes
the levy of the assessment for the BIA for calendar year 2000.
Hearing Opened to the Public
There was no one wishing to speak on this matter.

The public was assured that the City of Lodi is Y2K ready. The City Council thanked the
Information Systems Manager and the City Clerk for putting on the informative Y2K Public
Forums. It was well received by the public.
Continued December 15, 1999
Additionally, it was announced that Dial -A -Ride will be offered free to the public on New
Year's Eve from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
Further, the public was informed about the year-end millennium event entitled,
"Millennium Kids' Night Out", which will be held in Downtown Lodi on Friday, December
31, 1999 from 4:00 — 7:00 p.m.
C) Agenda item #H-3 entitled, "Funding request from North San Joaquin Water Conservation
District".
Public Works Director Prima reported that the State Water Resources Control Board, in
an effort to meet a December 31, 1999 deadline, is holding a final hearing on December
28, 1999 to consider certifying an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and a water rights
decision to implement a major portion of the Bay/Delta Plan.
The North San Joaquin Water Conservation District (NSJWCD) has been participating in
this process and must complete their administrative effort to secure a firm water supply
for the northeast portion of the County. The Board's draft decision includes recognition of
the Memorandum of Understanding between East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD)
and other water agencies (not including NSJWCD) which adopts a schedule of
Mokelumne River flows. NSJWCD is concerned that while this protects EBMUD and
Woodbridge Irrigation District, it does little to help, and may actually reduce water
available to NSJWCD. In addition, what little rights NSJWCD has to Mokelumne River
water are only temporary and will expire soon.
The District has spent a significant amount of its limited resources on this process and is
seeking assistance from the City to continue their efforts. They have provided a cost
estimate of $12,000 for the next two steps which involve participation in this final Board
meeting and developing a strategy for continuing with their efforts to obtain a firm water
right.
Staff is concerned that a full water rights battle could cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars and that the City would need significant study and discussion as to whether or not
we should pursue such an effort, particularly when the request is for agricultural water
supplies. However, recognizing that any supplemental surface water in our area reduces
the demand on groundwater which is the City's sole source of supply, our investments in
the East San Joaquin Parties Water Authority's efforts, and the economic importance of
the agriculture to the City's economy, staff feels this initial step is reasonable.
In addition, staff requested that the City Council provide additional direction as to the
City's future involvement in this process. Items for consideration include:
• Consideration of loaning funds to the District;
• Requiring participation from other agencies, such as San Joaquin County;
• Requiring additional funding from the District's property owners.
Speaking on the matter were the following persons:
Fred Weybret, representing NSJWCD, 1520 Edgewood Drive, Lodi, addressed
the City Council regarding the matter and talked about the shortage of funds
within the District.
2. Ed Steffani, part-time Manager of NSJWCD, 19255 East Brandt Road, Lodi, also
addressed the City Council regarding this matter.
Following discussion, the City Council, on motion of Council Member Land, Nakanishi
second, unanimously granted the request of funds up to $12,000 for NSJWCD.

14. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
a) Don Lindsay, 384 Valley Avenue, Lodi, addressed the City Council regarding "selective
enforcement" in restricting truck drivers from parking on local streets. He feels the truck
parking restriction is unreasonable and complained about the signage.
Council Member Hitchcock suggested that complete, readable signage be put up for truck
parking.
15. COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
a) Council Member Pennino questioned Public Works Director Prima about the road work on
Lodi Avenue. Mr. Prima stated that the consultant has been in contact with the

alternative was issued that if Lodi Avenue tracks are not being used, the City could cover
them up with asphalt, thereby, eliminating the hazard. The Council will continue to be
updated on this matter.
b) Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi wished his fellow Council Members, City staff and the
citizens of Lodi a very Merry Christmas.
C) Council Member Hitchcock indicated she felt a sense of comfort with the public hearing on
the downtown assessment. She further stated that this has been a great year and wished
all staff members and press a great Year 2000.
d) Council Member Land thanked the citizens of Lodi and wished them a Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year. Mr. Land further welcomed his in-laws back to Lodi, who moved
back after seeing all of the improvements in town.
e) Mayor Mann announced that the Library has received $25,000 in donations from citizens
plus a $25,000 donation from a local individual. Mayor Mann challenged the Council to
give generously to the Library so that they may reach its $75,000 goal.
f) City Manager Flynn wished Council Member Hitchcock's father well and that he have a
speedy recovery.
