Absent: Council Members — None
Also Present: City Manager Flynn, City Attorney Hays and City Clerk Blackston
B. CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR UPDATE
Review of the Mayor's and Council Member's Weekly Calendar (filed) was waived.
C. TOPIC(S)
"News Year's Celebration"
Cynthia Haynes, Administrative Assistant to the City Manager, reported that last year the
Year 2000 Committee organized the Millennium Kids' Night Out event. It was a free
family event with more than 4,000 people in attendance. Ms. Haynes stated that the
Downtown Lodi Business Partnership (DLBP) will ask area merchants to participate in the
event this year.
Dorean Rice introduced Steve Whyte of WhyteHouse Productions. Mr. Whyte submitted
a map layout (filed) of the upcoming New Year's Celebration and noted that he had
previously submitted a business plan to the Council. He reported that a larger event is
planned this year. It is anticipated that additional money will be raised from local
businesses so that more children's activities can be included. Local food retailers will be
encouraged to stay open during the event.
Council Member Land expressed his support of the event, and hope that it becomes an
annual tradition.
Council Member Pennino stated that he did not want the event continually funded out of
the contingency fund.
Deputy City Manager Keeter explained that the event is budgeted under community
promotions.
"Adult -Oriented Business Regulation Ordinance"
City Attorney Hays reported that in 1992, Lodi's first regulation of adult-oriented
businesses established locational criteria. With the aid of overheads, he reviewed each
article of the proposed ordinance.
Council Member Pennino stated that he supports the regulations; however, he also
supports the first amendment and questioned whether the proposed ordinance would, in
effect, completely eliminate the opportunity for these types of businesses to exist in the
community.
Continued September 26, 2000
Mr. Hays emphasized that the proposed regulations would not prevent adult-oriented
businesses from existing in Lodi. He added that the ordinance is similar to others
throughout the state that have withstood court challenges.
In response to Mayor Mann, Mr. Hays indicated that the regulations may increase
operational costs to businesses because there will be fees associated with the application
process for licensing. Mr. Hays stated that he will recommend the ordinance not take
effect until 2001 to allow adequate time for the Police Department to brief themselves on
the application process, prepare forms, and develop associated fees.
In reply to Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi, Community Development Director Bartlam
confirmed that there are currently two adult-oriented businesses operating in Lodi.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) Timothy Kruppe, 122 W. Oak Street, Lodi, stated that he represents the
businesses of Adult Pleasure World and The Intimates. He remarked that he has
been in business for nine years and has always tried to run clean establishments,
and regulates them himself. He emphasized that there is no contact between
customers and dancers. He objected to government attempting to regulate
morals and values and asserted that the proposed ordinance infringes on
freedom.
Council Member Pennino explained that he supports the ordinance because he
does not want future adult-oriented businesses coming to Lodi. He stated that
the Council was elected to uphold certain values for the community. He surmised
that the majority of Mr. Kruppe's patrons are probably coming from outside the
community.
In response to Council Member Land, Mr. Kruppe reiterated that there is no
contact between his employees and the customers. He ensures this by
personally escorting employees to their vehicles. He also has individuals try to
proposition his employees, and if they succeed, the employees are immediately
fired.
Council Member Land stated that he did not believe these types of businesses
are needed in Lodi. He supported the regulations, stating that they are necessary
to ensure that businesses are legitimate.
In reply to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Kruppe agreed that a high proliferation
of adult businesses may have a negative impact on a community. Referencing
specific sections of the ordinance, Mr. Kruppe objected to the requirement for
background checks and employee licenses. He felt that privacy should be
allowed in the video and fantasy booths.
Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi stated that he did not believe adult-oriented
businesses were beneficial to the City, families, or children. He commented that
the citizens of the community do not want expansion of these businesses.
In response to Council Member Land, Mr. Bartlam reported that Mr. Kruppe's
businesses have been in violation of the current ordinance and his Department
must routinely check to ensure that he stays within the parameters under which
his businesses were approved.
Mr. Kruppe countered that the Community Development Department had
approved his building permit, and then later, following one complaint, said that he
was in violation of requirements related to doors and walls on booths.
Mayor Mann emphasized that this matter is not a personal issue against
Mr. Kruppe. He stated that Council Members are elected to reflect the wishes
and values of the community and have a duty to reflect through ordinances, what
the citizens want to have regulated and enforced.
2
Continued September 26, 2000
Mr. Kruppe argued that he is, in fact, taking it personally because it is affecting his
livelihood and excessive regulations may force him out of business.
b) Harold Hensley, 835 W. Harney Lane, Apt. 117, Lodi, introduced himself as
Timothy Kruppe's stepfather. He explained that he chose not to run for City
Council Member this year because shortly after he picked up nomination papers
he was contacted by The Record. He suggested that his phone number had
been released prematurely or that he had been followed. He alleged that a
Council Member's brother-in-law had been kicked out of one of his son's
businesses for inappropriate activities, and that one member on the City Council
has frequented the establishments. In addition, Mr. Hensley complained of police
harassment and, as evidence, submitted photos to the Council (filed). He
declared that this matter is a civil rights issue, and asserted that church and state
should be separated.
Council Member Hitchcock announced that she will visit the businesses before
the next regular City Council meeting, so that she can make a fair assessment
prior to voting on the issue.
NOTE: Ms. Hitchcock left the meeting at 8:35 a.m.
C) Ken Owen, Director of Christian Community Concerns, commended City Attorney
Hays for drafting the ordinance and stated that in his opinion it protects
everyone's rights. He recounted the background related to this issue noting that
in 1988 he launched an anti -pornography campaign; in 1990 Mr. Kruppe opened
Adult Pleasure World; and in 1992 the City adopted an ordinance regulating adult
business locations. Mr. Owen averred that pornography is progressive and
addictive. He reported that it has been established that pornography is involved
in almost every case of rape. Mr. Owen stated that it is in the best interest of the
community to regulate these types of businesses as strongly as possible.
d) Steven Jarrett, 2681 Douglas Fir Drive, Lodi, stated that he is the pastor of New
Hope Community Church. He thanked the Council for being true representatives
of the values of Lodi. On behalf of the Christian community, he expressed
support for the ordinance and urged the Council to move forward expediently.
"2000 Conflict of Interest Code Local Agency Biennial Notice (Government Code
§87306.5)"
City Attorney Hays explained that the 2000 Local Agency Biennial Notices (filed) are being
provided to the Council for informational purposes to meet notification requirements.
D. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
None.

Background of the Event
Year 2000 Committee
In 1998 the Mayor and Council Members of the City of Lodi appointed several
local residents to serve on the Year 2000" Committee. The purpose of the
committee was multi faceted and existed approximately one and one half years.
One of the responsibilities of the committee was to design and produce a special
event to celebrate the coming of the year 2000. Committee members Alice
Reimche and Dorean Rice chaired the event. The Mayor and City Council
stipulated several criteria for this event. The event must...
1. be designed for kids
2. be free to those who attend
3. be FUN
4. reflect positively on the City of Lodi and Lodi residents
5. be a celebration of good will
Millennium Kids Night Out 1999
Review
The first year event was called "Millennium Kids Night Out". It was designed and
produced in cooperation between the City of Lodi, the Year 2000 Committee and
WhyteHouse Productions of Lodi.
The event focused on kids rides, bounces, and activities and a beautiful fireworks
display at the end of the evening.
Kids were treated to hot chocolate and little toys that were purchased with event
funds and many donated by local businesses.
Marketing & Advertising
The Year 2000 committee partnered with Lodi Unified School District and Lodi
Electric Utility to publicize the event. Lodi Electric Utility paid to print flyers and
Lodi Unified printed and distributed the flyers to each student in the school
district.
Display advertising was purchased in the Lodi News Sentinel and the paper
donated one ad for each ad purchased. Editorial was obtained in The Record,
Lodi News Sentinel, Sacramento Bee and Modesto Bee.
Posters were printed by the City of Lodi and posted in the downtown Lodi
business district.
Page 2 of 7
Planning
The planning of the event occurred in the following manner...
1. Dorean Rice and WhyteHouse Productions — design, logistics, production
2. City of Lodi department leaders — took on rolls related to their job
responsibilities. It should be noted that the department leaders with the City
of Lodi were extraordinarily accommodating.
3. Alice Reimche, with the City of Lodi, was the liaison between the city and the
event. She facilitated work the event required of city departments.
4. Cynthia Haynes, with the City of Lodi, was the liaison between the Downtown
Merchants and the event. She met with Downtown Lodi Business Partnership
director Lew Van Buskirk several times to keep him apprised of event plans
and to encourage the DLBP members to participate in the event. A meeting
was held by Cynthia Haynes and Steve Whyte with the purpose to directly
inform the downtown merchants of the event's plans.
First Year Financials
The Millennium Kids Night Out was kept within budget. The city of Lodi funded
the event with a $15,000 donation. An additional $2,050 was raised by Dorean
Rice from several local businesses.
The two major expenses of the event were for the kids rides. bounces and
games and the fireworks display.
Below is the final financial outcome of the event for 1999.

Review
It was discussed within the Year 2000 committee that this event might attract
approximately 1,500 people. Our best estimation is that close to 4,000 people
attended the inaugural Lodi Kids Night Out.
From all indications, the Millennium Kids Night Out was well received by all that
attended the event — children and adults alike.
1) The children's games and activities were fun, clean, safe and staffed by
competent people.
2) There was lots to entertain the Kids and to maintain their attention
3) The "Hand Print Proclamation" was a tremendous hit. A long line people
developed early in the evening, waiting to take home a piece of history, Alice
Reimche and Farmers & Merchants Bank are responsible to making this such
a success.
4) The fireworks show exceeded virtually everyone's expectations. The
company that produced the fireworks show is Boom Boom Productions, the
Page 4 of 7
same company that produces the Oooh Ahhh Festival (July 4th) fireworks
show. Their licensed pyrotechnician, Randy Lincmier, is a local Lodi resident.
5) The toys and hot chocolate passed out to the kids (adults had hot chocolate
also) were a real treat. Many people seemed surprised that these were all
part of the event and they were free.
6) The City of Lodi department employees were extremely helpful, which helped
to make the event run smoothly.
Lodi Kids Night Out 2000
The Event
In light of the fact that the first Kids Night Out was so well received, it is the hope
that the Lodi City Council and the City of Lodi will endorse and sponsor this great
family event again in the year 2000.
Date and Time
This year's event will be held on December 31, 2000 from 4:00pm to 7:30pm.
The Purpose
The purpose and intent of the event shall remain the same as the one
established by the Year 2000 Committee —
1) Design and produce an event that focuses on kids.
2) An event that is wholesome, safe and fun.
3) An event that is free to attend and that most of the activities are free.
4) An event that showcases the City of Lodi and the downtown business district.
Organization
Dorean Rice has offered her talent and time to be the driving force and
inspiration behind this event.
A steering committee will be formed, comprised of members of Lodi's Rotary
Club members. These people will control the direction of the event while seeking
advice, comment and suggestions from the City of Lodi and residents.
WhyteHouse Productions, a Lodi special event production company will be hired
to produce the event.

The budget has been increased in several areas in order to accommodate the
larger than anticipated crowd, to spread out the activities and to offer a little more
that what was available in 1999.
Key Areas to Focus on for 2000
1) Better trash collection — add additional volunteers to empty trash receptacles
and pick up trash on the ground.
2) Add more port -o -lets.
Page 6 of 7
3) Allow more time to set up — establish road closure at 12:00 noon to allow the
event to set up.
4) Spread out the event more — with the increased crowd size, more room is
needed. The event will used more of School Street and the Multi Modal
Depot than it did in 1999.
5) Add more activities to accommodate the anticipated numbers of children
6) Market the event to downtown merchants. Encourage the restaurants and
coffeehouses to remain open during the event. Offer free space to them to
sell food to the public attending the event.
7) Recruit a small handful of independent vendors to sell food and merchandise
at the event.
Final Comments
This is a wonderful event that everyone in the City of Lodi can be proud of.
Initially designed as a one time event to celebrate the coming of the new
millennium, this event so impressed the people who attended, that it only makes
sense to make this an annual event. What a great treat to the kids of Lodi.
The people who are interested in steering the future of this event will be superb
custodians of the event, ensuring that the original intent is maintained and that
the quality of the event remain at its highest level.
The City of Lodi is encouraged to participate as a sponsor again in the year 2000
as well as other companies in Lodi. Together, this event will be a shining
example of what a great place the City of Lodi really is.

CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adult Oriented Business Regulatory Ordinance
MEETING DATE: Shirtsleeve Meeting Held September 26, 2000 — 7:00 A.M.
PREPARED BY: City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council review the proposed Ordinance repealing
and reenacting Chapter 5.40 relating to Adult Oriented
Businesses.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a thumbnail sketch
of the proposed Adult -Oriented Business Regulatory Ordinance that
the City Council has scheduled for public hearing on October 4,
2000. The outcome of this activity which provides a focus on a particular type of business that does in fact
exist in Lodi, is the generation of publicity for that business that far exceeds what they could purchase from
the local media.
As previously indicated, the City first established regulations regarding Adult Businesses in 1992. At that
time the City adopted locational criteria for such businesses. At the time that the City adopted its
locational criteria, there were two theories that existed with regard to the location of adult businesses. One
theory was that adult businesses should be concentrated. It was felt they could be more easily controlled
and monitored that way. The second theory was that adult businesses should be disbursed so that
whatever blighting affects they might have would not be increased by having them all in one spot. The
regulations, which the City adopted, proceeded based upon a belief that the disbursal theory was one that
would have a lesser impact on the community than gathering adult businesses in one particular location.
Since the City adopted its locational criteria, there has been an evolutionary situation which has resulted in
regulations being developed. These regulatory procedures have evolved over time, being distilled through
the court system to the point we find ourselves today. The court system at both the California Supreme
Court level and the United States Supreme Court level has indicated that regulations which license and
proscribe conduct relative to adult-oriented businesses are appropriate. What you have before you today
is an ordinance which focuses on regulating the activities of those that own, operate and participate in
adult-oriented businesses.
The proposed Chapter 5.40 is broken into eight articles.
The first article states the purpose and intent of the ordinance while restating the locational requirements
that the City already has in place. It also initially sets out the need for the licenses that are described later
in the ordinance. Article 2 provides the definitional underpinning to terms and phrases that are used
throughout the ordinance and which are significant to the underlying regulations. Article 3 establishes the
procedures to be followed and undertaken in order for the operator of an adult-oriented business to
APPROVED:
H. D' on Flynn -- City Manager,
acquire a license to operate such a business. This is a special license which is in
addition to the regular business license that the City requires. Article 4 is the article
which provides for the procedures to be followed by those who wish to be employees in
an adult-oriented business. In order for them to be so employed, it is necessary under
the ordinance to acquire an employee license from the City. Both the employer and the
employee license is required to be applied for on an annual basis. Article 5 provides for
the regulatory procedures to deal with the denial, suspension or revocation of either the
business owner license or the employee license. All of the activities associated with
Articles 3, 4 and 5 are administered by the Chief of Police. This particular administration
procedure is very similar to the procedure that is in place for the licensing of massage
parlors which is as well handled by the Chief of Police. This is a natural location for such
administration since the licensing information is the basis for background checks to be
done on owners and employees.
Article 6 from the standpoint of the operation of an adult-oriented business represents
the operational criteria that such a business must follow in undertaking its operations.
This article sets out all of the regulations to be followed for live and non -live activities
that are viewed by the patrons of an adult-oriented business. Article 7 is a typical article
setting forth the activities that can be undertaken by the City to enforce the provisions of
the ordinance. Article 8 is an article which contains some specific provisions relative to
the nature of the regulations as well as setting out the timeline for the filing of
applications for licenses as well as the hours of operation of adult-oriented businesses.
It should be pointed out that this proposed ordinance is certainly not a creation of the
mind of this City Attorney. The ordinance contains provisions which are found in other
ordinances which have either been drafted based upon current law or in fact themselves
withstood legal testing. This ordinance is therefore not a cutting edge ordinance and
should not place the City in any significant legal jeopardy if challenged.
FUNDING: None
Respectfully submitted,

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LODI
REPEALING AND REENACTING CHAPTER 5.40 OF THE LODI
MUNICIPAL CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY RELATING TO THE
REGULATION OF ADULT-ORIENTED BUSINESSES
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Ordinance is enacted in order to
mitigate the imminent threat posed to the public peace, health, safety and general
welfare by Adult -Oriented Businesses. In this regard, the findings set forth in this
Ordinance are incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to ensure that City is not without adequate
enforcement remedies to address violations of this Ordinance.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LODI AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.
(1) Purpose. It is the purpose of this ordinance to regulate Adult -Oriented
Businesses in order to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of
the citizens of the City, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to
prevent the deleterious location and concentration of Adult -Oriented Businesses
within the City. The provisions of this ordinance have neither the purpose nor
effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any communicative
materials, including adult-oriented materials. Similarly, it is not the intent nor
effect of this ordinance to restrict or deny access by adults to adult-oriented
materials protected by the First Amendment, or to deny access by the
distributors and exhibitors of adult-oriented entertainment to their intended
market. In addition, it is not the intent or effect of this ordinance to condone or
legitimize the distribution of obscene material.
(2) Findings. The city council of the city finds and declares that adult businesses,
by their nature, generate certain secondary effects unless regulated. These
include blight, downgrading of neighborhoods, lowering of property values, and a
tendency to attract undesirable persons who may engage in certain types of
criminal conduct. Experience in other cities has shown that where adult
businesses are concentrated, neighborhoods deteriorate and the areas become
less desirable places in which to work and live. To avoid these secondary
effects, this chapter is intended to prevent concentrations of such uses in a
single area, and to regulate to the extent permitted by law the manner in which
adult businesses are conducted. (Ord. 1550 § 1(1), 1992)
SECTION 2. OBSCENE MATERIALS. It is not the intent of the City Council in
enacting this ordinance, or any provision thereof, to condone or legitimize the
distribution of obscene material, and the City Council recognizes that state law prohibits
the distribution of certain materials and expects and encourages law enforcement
officials to enforce state obscenity statutes against such illegal activities within the City.
SECTION 3. APPLICATION OF LAWS. Nothing in this ordinance is intended to
authorize, legalize, or permit the establishment, operation, or maintenance of any
business, building, or use which violates any City ordinance or any statute of the State
of California regarding public nuisances, unlawful or indecent exposure, sexual conduct,
lewdness, obscene or harmful matter, or the exhibition or public display thereof.
SECTON 4. CONFLICTING ORDINANCES REPEALED All City ordinances or parts
of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed.
SECTION 5. CLASSIFICATION. Adult -Oriented Businesses are classified as follows:
(1) Adult Arcades;
(2) Adult Bookstores, Adult Novelty Stores, or Adult Video Stores;
(3) Adult Cabarets;
(4) Adult Motels;
(5) Adult Motion Picture Theaters;
(6) Adult Theaters,
(7) Nude Model Studios; and,
(8) Sexual Encounter Centers.

CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: 2000 Local Agency Biennial Notice (Government Code §
87306.5)
MEETING DATE: September 26, 2000
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
BACKGROUND: The Political Reform Act requires that each City adopt a Local
Conflict of Interest Code requiring specified types of commissioners,
employees and consultants' to disclose their economic interests,
which might create a conflict of interest. Employees and commissioners must disclose their interests if
they have the power to make a governmental decision or participate in making a governmental decision
through research and advocacy. Consultants must disclose their interests if they actually make a
governmental decision. Disclosure is to be tailored to the type of decision a person might make. For
example, the Deputy City Manager has broad power to make and recommend a vast array of decisions.
As such she would have to make full disclosure of all of her interests. On the other hand, a purchasing
agent in information services would only disclose interests in the types of companies they contract with. In
compliance with the act, Council adopted a Local Conflict of Interest Code most recently on September 16,
1998 in Resolution 98-138, a copy of which is attached hereto for reference.
Once adopted, the Council must review a conflict of interest code every two years to ensure that it
complies with the Political Reform Act. Usually this process amounts to no more than adding newly
created positions to, removing abolished positions from and reflecting title changes in the Conflict of
Interest Code. In order to facilitate this review, each department head and commission must give notice to
Council of the kinds of changes they believe are necessary to comply with the Political Reform Act by
October 1 of every even numbered year. This notice does not include a description in any broader terms
than those outlined above.
This Agenda item is intended to provide that notice to the Council. At this time, no Council Action is
requested or required. An action item will be placed on the regular agenda between now and December
2000 by which time the Council must act to approve the amendments to the code. During that time, Staff
will perform a review of the exact changes and present it to Council for consideration.
'Certain commissioners and employees such as the City Clerk, City Attorney, City Manager and Planning Commissioners are
exempt from the Local Conflict of Interest Code because they already have disclosure obligations under other provisions of the
Political Reform Act.
APPROVED:
H. Q on Flynn -- City Manager
CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
As outlined in the Biennial Notices from each of the City's department head's and commissions, the
changes are not required except to delete abolished positions and reflect title changes.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
Respectfully submitted,
