INFORMAL INFORMATIONAL MEETING
"SHIRTSLEEVE" SESSION
CARNEGIE FORUM, 305 WEST PINE STREET
TUESDAY, JULY 31, 2001
An Informal Informational Meeting ("Shirtsleeve" Session) of the Lodi City Council was held
Tuesday, July 31, 2001 commencing at 7:05 a.m.
A. ROLL CALL
Present: Council Members — Howard, Land, Pennino and Mayor Nakanishi
Absent: Council Members — Hitchcock
Also Present: City Manager Flynn, City Attorney Hays, and Deputy City Clerk Taylor
B. CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR UPDATE
Deputy City Clerk Taylor reviewed the weekly calendar (filed).
City Manager Flynn announced that a few Council Members plan to visit Japan in the near
future and asked that they clarify their intent in traveling as individuals or City
representatives. Council Member Land stated he would travel as a representative of the
Lodi Sister City Committee. Council Member Pennino stated he intends to travel as an
official representative of the City of Lodi. Mayor Nakanishi concurred they would travel as
City representatives, with Worker's Compensation to be a consideration. Mr. Flynn
suggested that, although private funds or sponsorship will defer travel costs, this item
should formally appear before the City Council for discussion.
C. TOPIC(S)
C-1 "Water/Wastewater Rates"
Public Works Director Prima provided financial background materials related to
the Water/Wastewater funds (filed), documenting a steady decline in fund
balances of 6% for water and 12% for wastewater. He reported that service fees
were last increased for water in 1995 and for wastewater in 1991. A review of like
agencies recommends that 10-25% of the operating budget be held in reserve,
and City staff recommends an established Capital reserve for emergency
situations of $300,000 for water (cost of replacing a well) and $600,000 for
wastewater (unforeseen study results and legislative requirements).
In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Mr. Prima stated the City has drawn from the
fund balance in the past and that, with the resolution of the PCE/TCE issue in our
favor, these funds borrowed internally would be replaced.
In reply to Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, City Attorney Hays explained that while
the City's lender, Lehman Brothers, provides replacement funds for the attorneys,
the City was not successful in negotiating a like reimbursement. The existence of
the pending $3 million in City funds, following the outcome of the case, would
have little effect on the needs of the water/wastewater fund.
Mr. Prima stated that the City currently spends more than its revenue in
maintenance only, with no prudent stance taken to replace older materials. Three
main components effecting rates would be the dollar amount of account reserves,
an infrastructure replacement program, and regulatory requirements. He stated
Continued July 31, 2001
that the work to be done is considerable, and while rates could increase
significantly, at present, the service fee for water is $10 per month for a 3 -
bedroom home.
Mr. Prima reported that a program has been created and additional staff hired to
work toward replacing an estimated 2 million feet of pipe. The program
addresses critical components such as broken pumps or water mains, proactive
pump and water main services, and the lagging condition of wastewater
collection. He explained that unlike wastewater expenditures, water expenditures
are more easily maintained with the securing of funds to address DBCP issues
and a possible resolution to the PCE/TCE situation. He then added that while
Raydon content, chlorination rulings, and possible fluoridation may be future
issues that effect the fund balance — they are not items of concern at this time.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Mr. Prima agreed that a comparison
of cities would be beneficial, but suggested the study include same -age or older
cities with similar infrastructure and maintenance issues. Mr. Prima noted it
would further serve the City's needs to include a comparison of fee increase and
alternative funding resources.
Mr. Prima reported that staff has estimated it would cost in excess of $34 million
to meet current regulatory requirements and to upgrade its wastewater plant to
meet discharge requirements. Costs may be deferred through redevelopment,
grant funds, project partners, a possible power plant, and increased
water/wastewater rates.
Mayor Nakanishi shared that as Lodi's representative to the County's Water
Advisory Commission, he is familiar with the proposed surface water supply
project. He stated that since Lodi has well water, it would not need to take
advantage of the opportunity to access the Middle Bar project, but expressed
concern that a vote to raise water fees might influence the county's application
with the state for the project.
Mr. Prima stated that since 1991, San Joaquin County has been involved in the
state's application process to pursue a surface water supply project on the
Mokelumne River at Middle Bar. Should the water supply become available to
the City of Lodi, it is estimated to cost $35 million to prepare our system to accept
a connection to that supply. Mr. Prima reported that the County is now
considering whether to complete the filing process, at an additional cost of $2 —
$4 million, with no guarantee of approval.
Council Member Howard recalled that Council recently opposed staffs
recommendation for water meter installations and asked Mr. Prima to give a short
history on the topic. Mr. Prima explained that staff proposed installing water
meters incrementally throughout the City, with system costs possibly being offset
by grants, project partners, or loans, but no further exploration was done due to
Council's decision. He further shared that the cost to install a meter is
approximately $1,000 per residence.
City Manager Flynn stated that while water meters will not conserve usage, they
can be a tool for promoting conservation through offering rebate programs for
low -flow toilets, showerheads, and drip -irrigation systems. He reported that the
City provides untreated water to farmers, which reduces their well pump usage
and reserves the water table. Inevitably, Lodi will need to acquire additional water
in the future; this would likely be surface water and it is anticipated to be very
costly. San Joaquin County lists Lodi as having the highest consumption rate in
the county, which indicates that something must be done to promote conservation
and extend our current resources.

Continued July 31, 2001
At the request of Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino, Mr. Prima explained that the
City's infrastructure replacement would require $2.2 million for water and $1.8
million for sewer, at an average cost of $200 per foot of pipe. The work would be
contracted to include pipes, valves, tie-ins, trenching, manhole repairs, fire
hydrants, street repairs, and metering new service for residential. He noted that
costs decrease when work can be done in conjunction with construction or
improvement projects. Approximately 40% of all water/wastewater lines are
located in back yards, which complicates replacement. It could take up to 15
years to replace all the 2" water pipes.
Council Member Land stated that the City of Lodi cannot afford to have its
enterprise funds depleted or continue to neglect the aging infrastructure. Mr.
Land recommended that staff review rates annually and encouraged Council to
fast-track a replacement program before the system fails and pipes collapse.
Mayor Pro Tempore Pennino concurred with Mr. Land's direction that staff
proceed expediently in providing a program of action.
Mr. Prima stated that staff would respond to Council's inquiries and requests for
information as soon as possible and is scheduled to return to Council at a future
meeting to provide options and a recommendation for an infrastructure
replacement program.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Eunice Friederich expressed concern that residential water rates are based
on the number of bedrooms, noting that while some small homes have four
or five families living in them, many widowed residents live alone in 3 -
bedroom homes, creating an unfair charging system. She stated that while
meters would provide more accurate usage information, they are very
expensive. Ms. Friederich asked that Council and staff find a more equitable
system for billing, suggesting that perhaps a rate based on the number of
people living in a residence would be a more accurate measure of water use
than the number of rooms in a home.
Mike Holly, representing a group with investments in Lodi, stated he knew of
a benchmark program developed in Savannah, Georgia, in which
underdeveloped areas received funds allocated toward development and
infrastructure repairs, with a panel of individuals charged with reviewing and
monitoring point of occupancy. Mr. Holly stated he has already contacted
City staff and will provide them with a copy of this program for review.
D. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS

Water/Wastewater Reserves
■ Present City Policy — Minimum of 15% of annual operating expenses.
■ AWWA — 5% annual surplus revenue over total expenses;
six to twelve months of O&M expenses, plus
one year's debt service.
• City of Tracy — 25% of annual operating plus one year's debt service.
■ City of Stockton — 25% of annual operating plus
capital reserve (unspecified amount)
■ State Of California (Loan Fund Revenue Guidelines— 10% to 50% of
annual operating plus capital reserve
■ Consultant (Washington State) — 10% of operating, plus
$250,000 contingency reserve (emergency repairs), plus
one year's capital costs.
■ Recommended Reserve for Lodi Water/Wastewater Utilities:
> 15% of annual operating expenses, plus
> $300,000 capital reserve in Water
> $600,000 capital reserve in Wastewater
Infrastructure Replacement
• Major City Objective: Provide Resources to Maintain City `s Infrastructure.
Critical Components of Water/Wastewater System Being Maintained
■ Replacement of Underground Facilities — Water Distribution Mains & Services
and Wastewater Collection Pipes Is Lagging
�> Replacements Being Done In Conjunction With Other Projects
➢ Need to Move Into a Pro -Active Replacement Program Has Been
Recognized
➢ Staffing Now In Place to Begin Program
➢ New Budget (2 — Year) Includes $300,000 (W) & $200,000 (WW) per year
✓ Will replace about 2,400 Ft. of pipe
✓ WIWW systems have about 2 Million feet of pipe
✓ 2,400 Ft. represents 0.12% of the system's total footage
✓ At that rate of replacement, a pipe installed today would have to last
824 years before it gets replaced
➢ Replacement on a 100 -year cycle would require funding of $2.2 Million
per year for water & $1.8 Million for sewer
➢ Replacement on a 75 -year cycle would require funding of $3.0 Million
for water and $2.4 Million for sewer
Regulatory and Other Requirements
■ Wastewater
> Meet New Discharge Permit Requirements
✓ Estimates in $34 Million Range
