Public Portion of Hearing Closed
MOTION / VOTE:
The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Hitchcock second,
unanimously adopted Resolution No. 200144 entitled, "A Resolution Of The Lodi City
Council Vacating A 6 -Foot Public Utility Easement Along The North Line Of Lot 189,
Lakewood Subdivision, Unit No. 4"
F-2 Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Nakanishi called for the Public Hearing to
consider a resolution establishing an area of benefit and reimbursable costs for Tienda
Drive improvements fronting the parcels located at 2223 and 2241 West Kettleman Lane
(APN 027-040-17 and 027-040-79, respectively).
City Engineer Wally Sandelin explained that at the time Sunwest 14, Unit 1, developed as
a residential project the City was able to acquire some right-of-way immediately adjacent
to the new Roget park. The City obtained the cooperation from the developer to build the
full street improvements on Tienda Drive. Subsequently, staff worked with property
owners on the two lots across the street to the south from Roget Park. The property
owners understood that Council would be considering a zone of benefit to establish the
dollar amount and also the mechanism for reimbursement by the two parcels of the street
improvements that the City had already constructed. Mr. Sandelin stated that the amount
of the reimbursements contained in the staff report are consistent with the amounts
understood by the two property owners of the subject zone of benefit.
Hearing Opened to the Public
None.
Public Portion of Hearing Closed
MOTION /VOTE:
The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Howard second,
unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2001-45 establishing an area of benefit and
reimbursable costs for Tienda Drive improvements fronting the parcels located at 2223

Continued February 21, 2001
F-3 Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Nakanishi called for the Public Hearing to
consider Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Lodi Station Parking Structure; certify
the EA;($6,661,000)
City Manager Flynn noted that the action requested for this item has been amended to
delete the award of the contract.
Public Works Director Prima explained that staff has been dealing with two separate
environmental and funding processes for this project. Staff met late last night with
Federal Transit Officials and Council of Governments (COG) staff, and they are still
working on this issue. Staff has not completed all of the environmental assessment
steps, which include a 30 -day waiting period once it is certified. COG is currently working
diligently regarding an amendment to the Federal Transportation Improvement Program.
Mr. Prima outlined environmental mitigations included in the project: 1) color of the
building facade was changed to a sandy yellow color; 2) the structure was moved 11 feet
further north from the property line on Pine Street; 3) a large canopy tree was added to
soften the corner of the structure behind the Lodi Arch; and 4) trees on the Pine Street
frontage were changed to a more columnar variety. He noted that a traffic signal at the
corner of Lockeford and Sacramento Streets will be added as well.
Mr. Flynn pointed out that mitigation measures 1 — 3 as described by Mr. Prima were
required by the State Historic Preservation Office.
Hearing Opened to the Public
• Wilbert Ruhl, 265 Almond Drive, Lodi, stated that he is against using Measure K
money for this project. He alleged that Measure K (the % cent sales tax) was passed
illegally, as it did not have a 2/3 vote. He felt that Measure K was intended only to
improve streets, and the Lodi Parking Structure is an inappropriate project to use
those funds for.
• Bing Taylor, 1430 Holly Drive, Lodi, noted that he is Vice President of the Lodi
Historical Society; however, he is not speaking on their behalf at this time. He
suggested that the Parking Structure should have an additional story or two added
which would allow more space between it and the Lodi Arch. He questioned the
addition of another tree between the structure and Arch, as it would only take up more
space.
Public Portion of Hearing Closed
MOTION:
Council Member Hitchcock made a motion, Pennino second, to adopt Resolution No.
2001-46 entitled, "A Resolution of the Lodi City Council Certifying the Environmental
Assessment as Adequate Environmental Documentation for the Lodi Station Parking
Structure".
DISCUSSION:
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Community Development Director Bartlam
reported that the Parking Structure setback from Pine Street is now 11 feet and the
original proposal was for 5 feet. The structure will be 25 feet away from the Lodi Arch.
VOTE:
The above motion carried by a unanimous vote.

H. REGULAR CALENDAR
H-1 "Downtown parking update (information only)"
Associate Traffic Engineer Paula Fernandez outlined the downtown parking projects that
will be completed by the opening of the new downtown theater scheduled for June 1,
2001: 1) Elm Street parking lot — 58 spaces; 2) conversion to angled parking on several
cross streets — 54 spaces; 3) Civic Center parking lot — 77 spaces; 4) evening hour and
weekend parking at 207 W. Elm Street — 30 spaces; 5) evening hour and weekend
parking at two banks —126 spaces; and 6) Church and Elm Street parking structure — 300
spaces. The transit promotion and trolley loop will extend hours and increase advertising.
Time restrictions for parking will be changed and there will be improvement made on
parking signs.
Lew Van Buskirk, Executive Director of the Downtown Lodi Business Association (DLBP),
thanked City staff for their assistance in solving parking problems in the downtown area.
He commented that brochures outlining the parking areas would be distributed.
Council Member Land emphasized the critical importance of the theater being successful
from the first day of operation. He pointed out that the theater building will also have
additional retail space, which will further increase parking problems. In reference to
Ms. Fernandez' report, he felt that an additional 300 parking spaces needed to be created
within six months of the theater opening. Council Member Land asked staff to return to
Council with a fast track plan for the multi-level parking structure next to City Hall.
Mayor Nakanishi concurred with Council Member Land's comments.
Council Member Hitchcock cautioned that Council not act too quickly. She stated that the
multi-level parking structure on Elm and Church Street should be prioritized with other
projects and funding considered carefully.
In reply to Council Member Hitchcock, Public Works Director Prima reported that $4.5
million dollars has been budgeted for the parking structure on Elm and Church Street.

Continued February 21, 2001
H-2 "Adopt resolution approving the Westside Facility Master Plan"
Community Development Director Bartlam explained that the proposed Westside Facility
Master Plan guides the City's public facility infrastructure for the area generally bounded
by Kettleman Lane on the south, Woodbridge Irrigation District on the north, and Lower
Sacramento Road to the east. This area encompasses approximately 375 acres. The
intent of this plan is to get ahead of future development that might take place elsewhere in
this area. The utilities/infrastructure include: storm drainage, circulation, parks and
recreation requirements, and underground utility infrastructure. One half mile west of
Lower Sacramento Road is the City's current General Plan boundary. The General Plan
calls for a buffer to separate what will eventually be built land, from agricultural land to the
west. A linear storm drain basin will complement that buffer and be able to deal with
phasing opportunities that this area might bring forth. These basins would form the
western boundary of the City and provide a distinctive buffer and entry into the City. The
second element of the Master Plan is to solidify the circulation system. Staff proposes a
traffic circle on Sargent Road and Lodi Avenue as a way of identifying an entry into the
community and to residential neighborhoods. Mr. Bartlam stated that the best location for
the electric utility substation would be south of Kettleman Lane.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino commended staff for what he termed as a "great vision" for
the west side. He recommended and received Council concurrence to amend page 14 of
the Master Plan to state "25 -yard or 50 -meter pool." He asked that staff consider a
median by the commercial area west of Lower Sacramento Road / Lodi Avenue, as he felt
it would enhance the area.
Council Member Howard stated that some of the residents near Taylor Road, south
toward Kettleman Lane, had expressed concerns about the linear nature of the storm
drains. She clarified that Council's action this evening on the Master Plan will not set the
storm drains in the exact alignment as shown on the plan. At the time the storm drains
are designed, homeowners will be approached regarding annexation issues and/or their
requests to deviate the storm drain basin. In reference to the circular round -about
proposal, Ms. Howard stated that she previously expressed concern that a variety of sizes
of vehicles would be able to maneuver it smoothly and was assured by staff that they
would.
In response, Mr. Bartlam commented that one of the favorable aspects of the Master Plan
is its flexibility in terms of necessary width or exact alignment. Staff has purposefully
shown on the Plan at the end of Taylor Road how the storm drain system can go around a
piece of property, as long as the necessary basin effect can be created for capturing
storm water within the area.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Dave Dollinger, 101 E. Highway 12, Lodi, stated that he has attended several public
meetings on this subject since the issue was first brought up on May 15, 2000.
Mr. Dollinger explained that he purchased his property one half mile west of Lower
Sacramento Road in 1975. His residence and businesses are located on the
property, and he is adamantly opposed to the storm drain basin proposal running all
the way down to Harney Lane. Mr. Dollinger indicated that he was told the City will
develop the basins over a period of time in a series of "lagoons," and perhaps many
years from now, the City will take his property from him.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino explained that the Master Plan is a concept only and is
necessary for the purpose of creating a long-range vision.
Council Member Hitchcock commented that it might be 20 to 30 years before the
storm drain basin is built.
7
Continued February 21, 2001
MOTION:
Council Member Howard made a motion, Nakanishi second, to amend the Master Plan to
end the drainage basin and/or allow deviation around the property owners (in the
proximity of Kettleman Lane); and include this on page 9, Conceptual Land
Use/Circulation Plan, of the Westside Facilities Master Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino explained that the Master Plan guides the future of Lodi. He
was opposed to making an amendment to the Plan, as it would impinge the right of future
property owners and Council Members to participate in decisions regarding amendments
and specific alignment of the basin. He offered a substitute motion to approve the Master
Plan as written, with the exception of the pool amendment.
Council Member Hitchcock concurred that the Plan should be approved as submitted,
noting that drainage has to flow downhill and it would not make sense to end the basin
above the area indicated on the Plan.
Mayor Nakanishi stated that he favored helping the property owner at this time and if
future Council Members wanted to amend the Plan they could do so later.
Council Member Pennino added that altering the length of the basin would create serious
and potentially expensive drainage problems for neighboring parcel owners.
Community Development Director Bartlam stated that the basin could meander to the
east or the west of the area in question, but ending it above that area would cause
drainage problems. He recommended that Council approve the Plan as presented.
Absent that, he suggested adding language that would allow some flexibility for specific
alignment as the drainage plan is fine-tuned.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino requested that the minutes reflect that it is the desire of the
City to protect private property rights and for staff to work with the property owners in the
future and consider any concessions in the alignment of the basin that are feasible.
VOTE:
The above motion failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members — Howard and Mayor Nakanishi
Noes: Council Members — Hitchcock, Land and Pennino
Absent: Council Members — None
MOTION / VOTE:
Further, the City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Hitchcock second,
adopted Resolution No. 2001-47 entitled, "A Resolution of the Lodi City Council Approving
the Westside Facility Master Plan" with an amendment to page 14, Section 3.1 Westside
Park, last sentence "...a 25 -yard or 50 -meter multi-purpose pool..." The motion carried
by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members — Hitchcock, Land, Pennino and Mayor Nakanishi
Noes: Council Members — Howard
Absent: Council Members — None
RECESS
At 8:40 p.m., Mayor Nakanishi called for a recess and the City Council meeting reconvened at
8:55 p.m.
Continued February 21, 2001
H. REGULAR CALENDAR (Continued)
H-3 "Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional engineering
services agreement with Nolte Associates, Inc.; and appropriate funds for the Lodi
Westside Drainage Study ($18,400)" was pulled from the agenda pursuant to staff's
request.
H-4 "Adopt resolutions related to the San Joaquin Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and
Open Space Plan as follows:
"a) Consideration of the Environmental Impact Report as a responsible agency under
15096 of the CEQA Guidelines and adopt the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP);
"b) Approve the completion, signing and submittal of the Section 10(a)(1)(B)
Incidental Take Permit application;
`c) Adopt the Implementation Agreement with the acceptance of revisions outlined in
the letter of clarification dated January 19, 2001 to the California Department of
Fish and Game; and
"d) Approve the proposed amendment to the San Joaquin Council of Governments
Joint Powers Agreement'
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, speaking on behalf of the Council of Governments (COG),
reported that the San Joaquin Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan
presented this evening took seven years to complete. The purpose of the Plan is to
provide a balance between the need to accommodate development and the need to
protect listed endangered species. Activities covered include: urban development,
expansion of existing urban boundaries, non-agricultural activities occurring outside of the
urban boundary lines, levee maintenance, transportation projects, school expansions,
flood control projects, utility installation, and maintenance activities. The Plan is voluntary.
Fees can be paid through permits or mitigated directly with Fish and Game, Fish and
Wildlife. Benefits of the Plan include: 1) providing a one-stop permitting process;
2) providing 50 years of private property protection; and 3) results in an annual estimated
savings of $6.3 million between residential taxpayers and local government permitting
agencies. Over the life of the plan it is estimated to save a total of $318 million. Sixty-five
percent of the funds will be used for acquisition, 15% through enhancement, 16% through
land management, and 4% through administration.
In reply to Mayor Nakanishi, Amy Augustine, representing COG, 270 S. Barretta, Sonora,
reported that a staff member of the Mosquito and Vector Control District participated in
developing the Plan. The District has pesticides that work very well in wetlands. The
Plan specifies that prior to a preserve purchase there must be a management plan that
will describe what will be done in terms of mosquito abatement on the preserve.
In response to questions by Council Member Hitchcock, Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino
explained that there is an escalation clause for updating fees, which is adjusted on an
annual basis. In addition, Fish and Game, Fish and Wildlife, will cease the permit if fees
are deficient after a third year period in developing the habitat. He commented that the
fee portion of the Plan alone took two years to develop. The result was a compromise
between the building industry, environmental industry, and agricultural community.
In reference to Council Member Hitchcock's inquiry about a greenbelt between Lodi and
Stockton, Ms. Augustine reported that there is some foraging land in the area for
Swanson's Hawks so it could be pursued as a preserve area for multi -purposes including
a buffer between communities.
Council Member Land acknowledged Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino for receiving an
Excellence Award last Friday from COG for his work on the Habitat Plan.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
• Ron Addington, 920 W. Oak Street, Lodi, stated that it is an exceptional Plan and
recommended Council approval.
• Sylvia Kothe, President of the League of Women Voters of San Joaquin County, 688
N. Regent, Stockton, urged Council to endorse the Plan. She stated that it is an
equitable balance between preservation of agricultural land, protection of life
supporting ecosystems, and the recognition of land as a resource that is part of our
heritage.
• John Ledbetter, 18501 Cherry Road, Lodi, spoke in support of the Plan and
emphasized the importance of protecting the property rights of landowners in the area
where the Plan will take effect.
• Jeffery Kirst, President of Tokay Development Company, and Director of the Building
Industry Association of the Delta, commended COG for its work on the Plan and
recommended Council approval.
• Waldo Holt, Conservation Chair of the San Joaquin Audubon Society, 3900 River
Drive, Stockton, spoke in support of the Plan and urged a positive vote from the
Council.
MOTION / VOTE:
The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Land second, unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
• Resolution No. 2001-48 entitled, "A Resolution Of The Lodi City Council Adopting The
San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation And Open Space Plan And
The Associated Environmental Impact Report";
• Resolution No. 2001-49 entitled, "A Resolution Of The Lodi City Council Approving
The Completion, Signing, And Submittal Of A Section 10(A)(1)(B) Incidental Take
Permit Application To The U.S. Fish And Wildlife Service";
• Resolution No. 2001-50 entitled, "A Resolution Of The Lodi City Council Approving An
Implementation Agreement, With The Acceptance Of Revisions Outlined On The
Letter Of Clarification Dated January 19, 2001 To The California Department Of Fish
And Game, Regarding The San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation
And Open Space Plan'; and
• Resolution No. 2001-51 entitled, "A Resolution Of The Lodi City Council Approving
Amendment To The San Joaquin Council Of Governments Joint Powers Agreement".
H-5 "Adopt resolution authorizing execution of an amendment to an existing Interest Rate
H-6 Swap Agreement between the City and Salomon Smith Barney' and "Adopt resolution
authorizing execution of a new Interest Rate Swap Agreement between the City and
Salomon Smith Barney"
NOTE: The City Council discussed Items H-5 and H-6 together.
Electric Utility Director Vallow announced that "everything humanly possible" is being
done to avoid rate increases and reduce financial risk to customers. He recalled that 1.5
years ago Electric Utility brought an interest rate swap plan to Council, which they are
bringing forward for consideration again tonight.
Doug Auslander, Director of Salomon Smith Barney (SSB), reported that in 1999 the City
borrowed $42 million to finance public power improvement projects and in conjunction
with that his company did a fixed to floating swap. At that time, SSB saw an opportunity
to capture some additional value for the City and increase the rate of the return on the
City's fixed receiver swap by doing it on a forward basis. When SSB did the bonds in
10
Continued February 21, 2001
September, they had the swap start in March so the City could receive a higher rate and
get further protection against variable rates increasing, as well as giving the City more
cash flow over time. He reported that since March 29 the City earned almost $350,000.
Mr. Auslander explained that the basis swap is a transaction where the City will receive a
taxable -floating rate of interest in exchange for paying a tax-exempt floating rate of
interest. A benefit of this is an immediate cash flow when interest rates rise. There is risk
if marginal personal federal income tax rates decline below 29% (today they are 39.6%).
The basis swap is also a hedge against rising rates. Mr. Auslander stated that if the
Council believes the highest marginal personal income tax rates are going to go to 28% or
lower, they probably should not agree to the proposed transaction.
Council Member Howard stated that the proposal for suspending the current swap would
be for three years. After three years the City would look again at how things are going
and decide at that time whether to reintroduce a varying swap or not.
Mr. Auslander reported that if SSB suspends, then their recommendation would be to do
this on a forward starting basis coincidental with the termination period. He explained that
market conditions and the slope of the yield curve could change. He clarified that what
staff is asking for is the authority to make that decision within the parameters of the basis
swap being done coincidental with the termination period and inside two to three years
based on market conditions.
City Manager Flynn introduced Cameron Parks from Public Financial Management (PFM)
and explained that his role is to evaluate and advise the City on financial transactions.
In reply to Mr. Flynn, Mr. Parks stated that PFM is not a party to the proposed transaction.
PFM serves as a "go between" between SSB and the City. PFM serves the City in an
advisory role and are compensated hourly or at a fixed negotiated fee. Mr. Parks stated
that the basis swap transaction provides the City with a hedge in a rising interest rate
environment. PFM's recommendation is that this transaction is a function of the City's
view of marginal tax rates. If the City believes that marginal tax rates are not going to go
below the break even rate that SSB provided, this transaction would be advisable;
however, if the City feels that the tax rates will go below the break even rate, PFM would
not recommend the transaction.
In response to Council Member inquiries Mr. Parks indicated that it is impossible for him
to forecast future changes in marginal personal federal income tax rates. He pointed out
that there is currently an existing risk for the City if they take no action and interest rates
rise. In that case, the existing variable rate swap that the City holds would result in the
City having to make a net payment to SSB on a semi-annual basis. This transaction is
not predicated by having partaken in the prior fixed to floating rate swap, but rather the
Electric Utility having reserves which bear interest at an interest rate predetermined and
then having to reset those rates over time as those securities mature.
Upon further questioning, Mr. Parks stated that it appears that a significant drop would be
required in marginal tax rates in order to make this basis swap not a feasible and viable
one for the City. PFM has reviewed both SSB proposals and see both as reasonable. If
the City does choose to move forward with the transactions, PFM will negotiate on behalf
of the City with SSB about the reasonableness of their rates and of the transaction as a
whole. He pointed out that there is an option for the City to terminate the transaction.
City Manager Flynn stated that if the City does not look at innovative ways to protect cash
assets, consideration may have to be made for raising utility rates to make up the
difference.
Electric Utility Director Vallow stated that the transaction proposal is a good way to
mitigate risk and recommended approval.

Continued February 21, 2001
In reply to questions by the Council, Mr. Auslander reported that when SSB does a swap
transaction, they hedge the transaction in the financial markets with an offsetting
transaction. SSB benefits by "taking something out of the middle." Using an example, he
explained that when SSB did another transaction where a company was paying them
5.21 %, SSB was paying the City 5.11 %, and they took the tenth of a percent out of the
middle. Mr. Auslander concluded by stating that SSB will terminate the transactions at
market value at any time they are directed to do so by the City.
Mayor Nakanishi stated that this is a prudent investment and the risk is minimal.

In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Public Works Director Prima described the
project in detail and stated that the block of Elm Street between School and Sacramento

E-23 "Authorize use of Dial -A -Ride from Delta College to Lodi, Monday through Friday
evenings"
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino stated that the Dial -A -Ride program is meant for the City of
Lodi and felt that it was inappropriate to extend the route to Delta College in Stockton,
particularly for only three students. At a cost of $3,400 for Dial -A -Ride to provide this
service, it would be less expensive to rent a car or pay for a taxi.
City Manager Flynn reported that the City has been working with SMART for over a year
requesting that they establish a route between Lodi and Stockton. The action requested
under this item is for a short-term basis until SMART establishes a route.
Transportation Coordinator Carlos Tobar stated that the San Joaquin Regional Transit
District's route should be established by April 1, 2001, so the Dial -A -Ride service to and
from Delta Collage may only be needed for a five-week time period.
Council Member Land spoke in support of assisting youth with their transportation needs
to Delta College. He indicated that he was in favor of providing the service for a
six-month period after which time the Council should reevaluate the need.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino requested that before any more transportation projects
come before Council a Shirtsleeve Session be held to discuss future community transit
goals and objectives.
MOTION / VOTE:
The City Council, on motion of Council Member Howard, Land second, authorized the use
of Dial -A -Ride from Delta College to Lodi, Monday through Friday evenings, and further
directed that this service will operate no more than 6 months or terminate at the time
when San Joaquin Regional Transit District begins their services if earlier than six
months. The motion carried by the following vote:

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Glenda Wall, 19395 Rosewood Way, Woodbridge, spoke in opposition to the
annexation of Woodbridge Middle School into the City of Lodi. She expressed
concern that it would eventually end up abandoned as Lincoln Elementary School was
and Woodbridge would lose its identity. She indicated that many others feel as she
does about this issue.
Council Member Howard commented that several people came forward during the
public hearing to speak in favor of the annexation.

The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Hitchcock second, unanimously
voted to continue with the remainder of the meeting following the 11:00 p.m. hour.
ORDINANCES (Continued)
Upon questioning by Council Member Land, Ms. Wall acknowledged that she serves
on the Woodbridge Sanitary District (WSD). Mr. Land pointed out that at the previous
public hearing a representative from WSD spoke in favor of the annexation. Ms. Wall
stated that the flow from Woodbridge Middle School is minimal and even if the
number of students doubled, WSD could handle it.
• Mamie Starr, Assistant Superintendent of Facilities and Planning at Lodi Unified
School District (LUSD), 1305 E. Vine Street, Lodi, explained that the only relationship
between the sewer issue and the modified traditional calendar change has to do with
adding about 30% more students on campus at one time. WSD was unable to
provide LUSD with confirmation that they could handle the additional discharge
without it impacting other operations of the District.

COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
Ken Sasaki, Chairman of the Recreation Commission, 20033 N. Kennefick Road, Acampo,
reported that the Commission held public workshops on January 23 and 24, to discuss Parks
and Recreation project priorities and over 60 individuals were in attendance at each
workshop. He outlined the priorities as follows: 1) indoor sports facility mainly for basketball,
volleyball, and inside entertainment; 2) aquatics complex to accommodate swimming, diving,
swim events, swimming practice, and water polo; and 3) DeBenedetti Park as a possible
sports center for soccer, baseball, and football. To illustrate the need for these facilities, Mr.
Sasaki reported the following:
14
Continued February 21, 2001
➢ 106 youth were turned away from the basketball program this year;
➢ The City does not own a single indoor sports facility;
➢ Many swimmers are turned away because the City does not have adequate facilities;
➢ The City has not provided any new swim facilities for over 30 years; and
➢ There is a need for additional 90 foot baseball diamonds, football fields to practice on,
and soccer fields to accommodate 600-700 youth.
Mr. Sasaki stated that the Commission would work closely with the City's budget process in
an effort to have the three projects considered as top project priorities for the Council. The
Commission has asked Parks and Recreation Director Baltz to investigate other facilities and
make a recommendation that would best suit Lodi's needs, including an estimate of costs and
a financing mechanism.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino expressed support for the three projects and asked what the
Commission's priority was for completing the west bank of Lodi Lake.
Mr. Sasaki replied that it was the consensus of the commissioners and the public that Lodi
Lake development be taken off the priority list.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino recalled that discussions have taken place about completing the
west bank of Lodi Lake for ten years and he is committed to the project.
Council Member Hitchcock reported that she attended some of the public meetings and
concurred with Mr. Sasaki's assessment that the desire of the public was to discontinue any
further development of Lodi Lake. Ms. Hitchcock pointed out that all three projects were
included in the development impact fee plan; however, the fees need to be updated.
Council Member Howard also stated that she attended a number of public meetings on this
subject and agreed that the public felt that these three projects were a much greater need
than completing the west bank of Lodi Lake.
Mr. Sasaki added that at the public meetings the word "serenity" (i.e. the need to protect it
was repeated many times during discussions of Lodi Lake.
Mayor Nakanishi requested that the Recreation Commission document its findings in writing
and submit it to the Council. He reminded the audience that a Town Hall meeting would be
held on March 5 to discuss projects.
Council Member Land requested that a joint meeting be scheduled with the Recreation
Commission and the Council.
Mr. Sasaki stated that the Commission would like to have a one -day tour of Lodi parks with
the Council. Council Member Land stated that this could be planned at the joint meeting.
In reference to Council Member Hitchcock's earlier comment, City Manager Flynn explained
that development impact fees were never intended to pay for 100% of the projects.
Public Works Director Prima acknowledged that an aquatics facility proposed to be located on
the west side of the City was included in the impact fee program. In that concept the basin
park system described in the West Side Facility Plan had a water featurelpool. He stated that
the project may have been funded at 100% in the program. DeBenedetti Park was shared
funding between the storm drain program and the parks and recreation program and funded
at nearly 100%. The impact fee program was adopted in 1991 and identified approximately
$4 million for community facilities under the Parks and Recreation program, which included
the potential to fund additional improvements at Hutchins Street Square. The program used
Hutchins Street Square, leased facilities at the Grape Festival, and City owned buildings — and
calculated an additional square footage that could be added and justified under the fee
program. There was no specific project identified for those funds. The total amount for the
parks and recreation program in the impact fee program was $18 million.

Continued February 21, 2001
Mary Pell, 917 Greenwood Drive, Lodi, stated that she is one of a coalition of citizens that
favor a 5mph speed limit on Mokelumne River. She understood that the ultimate decision lies
with the Board of Supervisors; however, she felt that the Council should take a formal position
on the issue and make a recommendation to the County. She recalled that three times in the
past, the Council requested task forces and planners to address river use. In 1967 the
Community Development Department recommended a 7mph or less speed limit. In 1987 the
Parks and Recreation Department Bigler Plan called for disallowing the use of large power
boats and determined that wakes from the boats were breaking down the banks of the river,
silting it, and destroying trees. In 1992 the Council -appointed Mokelumne River Access Task
Force recommended a 5mph speed limit on the river adjacent to City properties. Additionally,
this task force encouraged private property owners along the river to petition the County
Board of Supervisors to create a 5mph speed limit. She requested that Council place the
issue of river safety on a future agenda. Ms. Pell then read a letter from Amy Fritz, 1234
Rivergate Drive, who was unable to attend tonight's meeting, but wished to express her
opinion that the river is too narrow for motorcraft and supported a 5mph speed limit. Ms. Fritz
also requested that the Council place the matter on a future agenda.
• Carol Royal, 1186 N. Ham Lane, Lodi, stated that her family does not use the river because
they feel it is unsafe. She pointed out that the river borders Lodi Lake park and the Council
has an obligation to recommend how the Mokelumne River is utilized. She requested that the
Council place this issue on a future agenda.
« Patrick McGuire, 18934 N. Lower Sacramento Road, Lodi, described personal experiences of
dangerous boating situations on the river. He stated that the Mokelumne River Safety Task
Force's recommendations fall short because the split use time does not ensure safety. He felt
that the City has a responsibility to act on this issue because the majority of people that use
the river are Lodi residents. Mr. McGuire urged the Council to place this issue on a future
agenda.
Jay Bell, 335 Louie Avenue, Lodi, announced that he was a member of the Mokelumne River
Task Force. In his opinion, it appears that the City is not willing to participate in the process of
placing regulations on the river even though Lodi's northern City limits are defined by the river
and an overwhelming majority of citizens wish to have the regulations. He spoke about
erosion due to ski boats and jet ski wakes, noise and water pollution. He urged the Council to
ask the County to designate the section of Mokelumne River that borders Lodi Lake and
nature area as a special use area with a speed limit of 5mph.
In response to Council Member Land, Mr. Bell stated that the majority of the task force
members had a "joint use mentality' and safety was not addressed. He pointed out that four
of the seven task force members had jet skis docked on the river.
In reply to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Bell reported that in five instances of public input
opportunities with the task force, 75% of the people who spoke were in favor of a 5mph speed)
limit on the river or the elimination of motorcraft altogether.
« Robin Knowlton, 410 W. Oak Street, Lodi, submitted a list of counter recommendations (filed)
and requested that the Council place this issue on a future agenda.
The Council expressed consensus for scheduling a special meeting to consider Mokelumne
River safety issues.
K. COMMENTS BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
• Council Member Howard suggested that Council consider an underpass or divider around
Lockeford Street to ensure that individuals crossing the railroad tracks are safe. She
commented that it was her understanding that Council considered this previously in 1995;
however, with the downtown revitalization, she felt it would be appropriate at this time to
reconsider the issue.
16
Continued February 21, 2001
• Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino stated that an underpass would cost approximately $12-14
million. An underpass cannot be built on Pine, Elm, or Lockeford Streets due to easements.
He suggested that Council Member Howard bring this issue up during budget meetings when
Council considers goal setting and project priorities. Mr. Pennino suggested an overhead
pedestrian connection from the proposed indoor sports center to the parking structure.
• Council Member Hitchcock congratulated Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino on his recent award
from the Council of Governments.
• Council Member Land stated that he was very proud of the Police Department for their
handling of the recent shooting incident.
