SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
CARNEGIE FORUM, 305 WEST PINE STREET
TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2001
A. ROLL CALL
The Special City Council meeting of January 9, 2001 was called to order by Mayor Nakanishi at
7:00 a.m.
Present: Council Members — Hitchcock, Howard, Land, Pennino and Mayor Nakanishi
Absent: Council Members — None
Also Present: City Manager Flynn, City Attorney Hays, and City Clerk Blackston
B. REGULAR CALENDAR
3-1 "Adopt resolution authorizing purchase of materials for the 60kV transmission line from
Industrial Substation to Harney Lane ($97,343.34)"
NOTE: Due to a potential conflict of interest, Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino abstained
from discussion and voting on this matter.
Al Smatsky, Senior Electrical Estimator, reported that this is an extremely time sensitive
project and the transmission line is critical to Lodi's electric needs.
In reply to Council Member Howard, Mr. Smatsky explained that a special meeting was
called for Council to consider this matter because the purchase of materials is needed so
that construction can begin as soon as possible.
Electric Utility Director Vallow further explained that they are three weeks behind on the
critical path schedule for this project. The second week of April is the deadline for PG&E
to do appropriate cutovers in order to meet Independent System Operator of California
(ISO) requirements. He stated that having this item considered today will make up one
week, and two weeks will have to be made up in the construction schedule.
In response to Council Member Land, Mr. Vallow stated that this project will not
necessarily expedite the removal of power poles on Cherokee Lane, but will contribute
toward that likelihood in the future.
