B. ORDINANCES
B-1 "Ordinance No. 1775 entitled, 'An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lodi
Amending Title 15 — Buildings and Construction — of the Lodi Municipal Code by Adding
Chapter 15.72 Relating to Eminent Domain"'
Council Member Mounce voiced concern that if a project area were adopted the state could
override this ordinance and eminent domain could be included. She did not want to give
citizens of the community a false impression that this ordinance would protect them when
ultimately it may not.
City Attorney Schwabauer acknowledged that ordinances can be changed by future
Councils. He believed this would be binding, however, proven by the fact that no
governmental entity in California has ever restricted itself from using eminent domain and
then later argued that it could.
