I. Public Hearinas
1-1 Public Hearing to Consider Resolution Approving Draft 2009-14 Consolidated Plan and
2009-10 Action Plan and Reallocation of Available Funds from Previous Program Years for
the Community Development Block Grant Program (CD)
Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file
in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Hansen called for the public hearing to consider resolution
approving Draft 2009-14 Consolidated Plan and 2009-10 Action Plan and reallocation of available
funds from previous program years for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program.
City Manager King briefly introduced the subject matter of the CDBG Consolidated Plan.
Neighborhood Services Manager Joseph Wood provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding
the CDBG consolidated plan. Specific topics of discussion included the CDBG entitlement
process, Lodi as an entitlement community, consolidated plan process and required
documentation, public participation, release of draft documentation, review of funding requests,
eligibility, applying funding criteria, scoring/ranking, 2009-10 action plan, community based
organizational funding requests, City funding requests, and recommended resolutions approving
funding, action, and the consolidated and public participation plans.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Wood stated the top portion of the chart illustrates whether it is
a project or service and on the community based organizations (CBO) the recommendation is for
the Loel Center, San Joaquin Fair Housing, and Second Harvest Food program.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Wood stated the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) requires that public and private graffiti abatement be listed separately
because one is considered a service and the other rehabilitation.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Wood stated deference was given to the Second
Harvest Food Bank over the Emergency Food Bank because the first essentially serves as
a source for other food banks, there is a higher need and demand for overall food distribution,
and it covers a greater population. Council Member Hitchcock requested copies of the scoring
sheets for the various organizations.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Wood stated there is another funding source that
is applicable to the Lodi Community Center improvements by way of the CDBG-Rapid (CDBD-
Continued April 1, 2009
R) supplement and the Community Center also relies on matching funds from the County.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Wood stated staff does make contact with the
applicants to ensure understanding of what is being proposed for adoption and whether or not
funding is being recommended.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Wood stated that, with respect to the alley drainage,
a number of sites have been identified and all of the sites on the short list are on the east side of
town. Public Works Director Wally Sandelin confirmed a specific site has not yet been chosen,
the need is being reviewed, and a subcommittee of the Lodi Improvement Committee is helping
with selection.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Wood confirmed that the City previously received
14% and the County 6% of the allowable 20% for program administration costs. Mr. Wood
confirmed that the City now receives the entire 20% as an entitlement City and the 20% covers a
good portion of the program costs, although not all. Mr. King stated that the goal is to recover
costs for program administration without subsidization from the General Fund.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Lt. Dan Williams with the Lodi Salvation Army stated a
generator is needed in the event of an emergency or disaster per Federal Emergency
Management Agency requirements and his organization is working with the Fire Department to
make arrangements for the use of its generators in the event of an emergency.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, Mr. Wood stated the final rules and details of the
CDBG-R funding are not yet available and the 20% could be scaled back if costs were to come
down. Mr. King stated the administrative costs include interface with other agencies through
public hearings and noticing, as well as direct administrative costs. Mr. King stated the hope is to
stabilize the costs, which also allows us to be more competitive for other programs such as
affordable housing. Mr. Bartlam stated he would like to make it clear that even with the 20%
the General Fund is subsidizing the CDBG program.
Linda Castelanelli, representative of the Animal Advisory Commission, spoke in favor of allocating
funding for continued spay and neuter programs. In response to Mayor Hansen, Ms. Castelanelli
confirmed that a program must be ongoing for a few years to see significant results and the
funding must also be applied quickly.
Keith Land, representative of the Loel Center, spoke in favor of allocating funding for the Loel
Center kitchen improvements, which will allow the organization to provide meals on a continuing
basis for the seniors in the community. In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Land stated
the approval of the County program will still be in the hands of the County; although, he is
confident in the process and the ability to provide the program. Mr. Land stated the Meals on
Wheels program generally provided 150 meals a day and 50 congregate meals a day, and the
new program should be able to feed up to 250 at the Center.
Lt. Dan Williams, representative of the Salvation Army, spoke in support of funding for the Loel
Center kitchen project and stated he is hopeful that other funding may be applicable to the
Salvation Army roof improvement project. Lt. Williams also commended staff for its efforts in
administrating the program and communicating with the applicants.
Robin Rushing spoke in support of the Loel Center and the Meals on Wheels program.
Council Member Hitchcock made a motion, second by Council Member Mounce, to adopt
Resolution No. 2009-35 approving the Draft Consolidated Plan, Citizen Participation Plan, and
Action Plan and the 2009-10 Federal allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds,
E

1-2 Public Hearing to Consider Introducing Ordinance Amending Chapter 13.20, "Electrical
Service," (Introduce) by Adding a New Section 13.20.315 Titled, "Schedule EDR -
Economic Development Rates" (EUD)
Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file
in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Hansen called for the public hearing to consider introducing
ordinance amending Chapter 13.20, "Electrical Service," by adding a new Section 13.20.315
titled, "Schedule EDR - Economic Development Rates."
City Manager King briefly introduced the subject matter of the economic development rate (EDR).
Electric Utility Director George Morrow provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the EDR.
Specific topics of discussion included background information, EDR proposal for economic
discounts for industrial, tourism, and wine -related and green technology, general program
information, industrial business qualifications, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) qualifications, tourism and wine qualifications, green technology qualifications, program
review and three-year term, average rates, revenue in excess of energy costs from commercial
costs above incremental costs which helps offset discounts, and the requirement of the public
hearing with the introduction of the proposed ordinance.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Morrow stated the 20% cap is based on the
difference of marginal costs, which are above and beyond, and any additional discount would be
cutting into energy hours.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Morrow stated office buildings such as Blue Shield
are typically not included in discount programs by electric utilities because they are not high/low
peaking businesses such as industrial users. Mr. King stated the proposed discount is more
targeted to avoid general discounts on a larger basis and another Blue Shield type of business
may qualify under Enterprise one and LEEDs.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated the incentive is being provided in
an area that it can be afforded and the program is being put together with fiscal oversight for the
utility.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated staff will continue to monitor new
customer accounts as they come online and the hardwiring in the billing system will provide for
automatic reinstatement of the old rates after the three-year period has expired.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated an expanding industrial business
would have to demonstrate a new electrical load and requirements, the minimum numbers must
be met per an audit, and the discount will be offered on a use it or lose it basis.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated the cost of the program in terms of
dollars will depend on who and how many take advantage of the discount, and the rating
agencies should look at the program positively.

Continued April 1, 2009
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated the Silver designation of LEED is a
tremendous task and just becoming LEED certified is quite an accomplishment. Mr. King
confirmed Blue Shield is LEED certified and not Silver designated.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated LEED categories apply to both new
businesses and expansions, although the likely scenario would be a new business, and on an
expansion, only the new portion would be eligible for discount.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated as the program is currently
structured a business could not combine multiple categories such as LEED and tourism to get a
greater discount.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow and Mr. King stated staff will keep the
Council apprised through the City Manager's newsletter and quarterly updates of the status of the
program and sign-ups.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Morrow stated staff will bring the program back to
Council prior to the suggested 18 -month period if there is anything to report. Ms. Mounce stated
she would like to see a 12 -month review period in lieu of the proposed 18 -month period.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Morrow confirmed that staff will be monitoring the program on
an ongoing basis and the 18 -month period was reflective of a comprehensive review with
program recommendations for extensions or modifications.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow confirmed the time could be changed to
12 months if so desired.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Morrow stated Silver LEED certification is obtained for other
reasons and the energy incentive alone would not be sufficient to make up for the cost to obtain
the certification.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Morrow stated demand customers are already
metered and monitored separately through the billing system and if a business falls below load
minimums it would not receive the discount that month.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, Mr. Morrow confirmed that there may be minimal
takers whether it was Silver LEED certification or only straight LEED certification and the various
categories to get certified may include water, energy, design, lighting, storage, and recycling.
Mr. Katzakian stated he preferred straight LEED certification.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Morrow stated he is not aware of any cities that
are requiring LEED certification. Mr. Bartlam stated there is some momentum toward requiring
city facilities to be LEED certified as public policy because the cost itself could not be made up by
receiving the discount alone.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, Mr. Morrow stated he is only aware of one LEED
certified building in the City to date; although, there may be others that are sustainable but not
LEED certified.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Morrow stated the program will be three years, the application
period is two years and ongoing for 36 months once approved, and the 18 months would begin
from July 1, 2009.
Continued April 1, 2009
In response to Ann Cerney, Mr. King stated in meetings with management of Blue Shield, he was
advised the business is LEED certified, while he has not seen the certificate himself and he has
no reason to believe that is not the case. Mr. King stated the U.S. Green Building Council is a
private organization that provides certification, the Blue Shield building is LEED certified based
on management representation, as a result Blue Shield attained the requisite number of points for
various sustainable practices to obtain the certification, the LEED ND program is ongoing for
which Reynolds Ranch may be a consideration, and LEED was not a requirement of the
conditions of the project.
Council Member Hitchcock made a motion, second by Council Member Mounce, to introduce
Ordinance No. 1820 amending Chapter 13.20, "Electrical Service," by adding a new Section
13.20.315 titled, "Schedule EDR - Economic Development Rates."

K-1 Provide Direction Regarding July 4th Fireworks Show and Authorize the City Manager to
Enter into a Contract with Pryo Spectaculars as Deemed Appropriate (PR)
City Manager King stated the Finance Department will be moving on April 20 and briefly
introduced the subject matter of the 4th of July fireworks.
7
Continued April 1, 2009
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. King explained that the standard funding cycle for fireworks is
such that one half is budgeted for in one fiscal year for the deposit and one half is budgeted for in
the next fiscal year for payment after the show. Mr. King stated $22,000 was budgeted in 2008
and $11,000 was used to pay for the 2008 show, thereby leaving $11,000 for the 2009 show, and
the remainder would need to be budgeted for in 2010.
Interim Parks and Recreation Director Jim Rodems discussed staff desire to seek direction from
Council with respect to the annual fireworks show in light of the times, the $22,000 cost of the
show for the past two years, funding split into two fiscal years, options available for the length of
the show, Pyro Spectaculars as the responsive bidder based on insurance, and the breakdown of
the possible shows for $22,000, $16,000, and $11,000.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. King stated he cannot give an exact cost figure
including ancillary costs. Mr. King stated he can advise that the crowds at Lodi Lake will be
greater on that day, Police and Fire will still be at the Lake regardless of the fireworks, there may
be some cost for fencing, and there may be a higher concentration of people during the evening.
Council Member Mounce stated that, based on her experience over previous years, fencing is
preferred. Council Member Johnson suggested an admission charge to cover the cost of the
fencing.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mayor Hansen stated that based on his recollection
there has been an annual 4th of July fireworks show for the last 37 years.
Council Member Hitchcock suggested adopting Program B to scale back the time to 15 minutes
in light of the fiscal times. Council Member Johnson suggested Program A for the 20 -minute time
period as previously done.
Council Member Johnson made a motion, second by Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, to authorize
the City Manager to enter into a contract with Pryo Spectaculars in a manner that is consistent
with Program B, as outlined in the staff report and blue sheet, to provide a 4th of July fireworks
show in the amount of $16,000.

K-2 Authorize the City Manager to Enter into Negotiations with Eden Housing, Inc., in Regard
to Affordable Senior Housing Development Located at 2246 Tienda Drive (CD)
City Manager King briefly introduced the subject matter of an affordable senior housing
development.
Interim Community Development Director Bartlam provided an overview of entering into
negotiations in regard to an affordable senior housing development at 2246 Tienda Drive.
Mr. Bartlam specifically discussed the presentation provided at Shirtsleeve Session, Eden
Housing as a business, projects completed by Eden Housing, the proposal to allow negotiations
with Eden for 3.3 acres west of Roget Park for affordable housing purposes, and an agreement
coming back to Council in the future for consideration.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, Mr. Schwabauer stated it is not possible to look at
the entire parcel and realign the park in light of the parcel size and layout.
U
Continued April 1, 2009
Keith Land, representative from LOEL Center, spoke in support of Eden Housing, its programs
and projects, the work of the executive director, and the overall need of affordable senior housing
in the City.
Linda Mandellini, representative of Eden Housing, spoke in favor of the proposed authorization
based on affordable rents for seniors, the need and demand of senior housing in the community,
and the company's commitment to the process and proposed project. She also invited the public
to an open house of the Manteca project on April 6, 2009.
Council Member Johnson stated he visited the Manteca Phase 1 and 2 projects, Phase 1 is five
years old, Phase 2 is two months old, all units are full with a waiting list, the property is
immaculate, and residents appear to be happy with their surroundings.
Mayor Hansen made a motion, second by Council Member Mounce, to authorize the City
Manager to enter into negotiations with Eden Housing, Inc., in regard to affordable senior housing
development located at 2246 Tienda Drive.

K-3 Consider Introducing Ordinance Repealing and Reenacting Lodi Municipal Code Title 5 -
(Introduce) Permits and Regulations - Chapter 5.12, "Cardrooms," Increasing the Number
of Legal Cardroom Games, Expanding Cardroom Hours. and Increasing the Number of
Tables (CA)
City Attorney Schwabauer provided an overview of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Schwabauer
specifically discussed the request from the cardroom for an extension of games, hours, and the
number of tables, the Attorney General's conclusion that the amendments are consistent with the
law, and the ordinance proposal to increase legal games to allow those allowed by law, increase
the number of tables from 8 to 11, and expand the hours from 16 to 20 per day.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Stephen Snider, representative of the cardroom, stated
the business will still need to go through the planning process, which will include occupancy and
floor plan requirements. Mr. Snider stated the intent is to use smaller sized tables for some of the
games and the building size will remain the same.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Schwabauer stated the proposal will maximize usage of the
existing facility under current legislation.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Bartlam stated the ordinance requires a use
permit, which will need to address all three items with respect to hours, tables, and games, and
will also look at parking and the California Environmental Quality Act process.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Schwabauer stated approving specific games
would require the applicant to come back to Council for every additional game they would like to
include, approval of all games allowable by law would be the green light for all those particular
games allowed by law, and the Council does have the ability to limit games if it so desires.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Bartlam stated the use permit can be amended for
I
Continued April 1, 2009
hours if any concerns arise, the use permit is conditioned on a variety of factors, there is an ability
to modify the use permit as a part of the application or at a later date, and a public hearing may
be necessary for modification.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Schwabauer stated the business does not have the ability to
expand beyond a traditional cardroom to a casino because it is governed by State law.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Schwabauer stated as the ordinance is currently
written any games the State allows would be allowable in the cardroom. Mr. Schwabauer stated
an option could include games as approved as of a specific date.
Ken Owen spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance based on the location of the business,
traffic concerns, moral issues, and City values for its citizens. In response to Mayor Hansen,
Mr. Owen stated alcohol could be substituted for gambling on a lot of the concerns he listed.
Stephen Snider spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance based on the efforts of the business to
address gambling including a self -inclusion State program, the highly regulated industry which
requires compliance with all laws, the overall compliance of the business with local laws, and the
lack of problems in and around the business with respect to criminal activity and traffic concerns.
Discussion ensued between Mayor Hansen, Council Member Johnson, and Mr. Schwabauer
regarding amending Section 5.12.040 to only allow card games as allowed by the State, thereby
eliminating anything else.
In response to Mayor Hansen, Mr. Schwabauer stated there is no house that wins or loses with
the cardroom, as the business makes money off of the rental of the tables.
In response to Robin Rushing, Mr. Schwabauer stated shields are illegal and expressly forbidden
by law and the proposed ordinance.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. King stated the cardroom provides the City with
9% of its gross revenue on a monthly basis and the revenue estimate is approximately $100,000
based on its short history. Mr. King also cited the budgeted revenue amount for February 2008
and February 2009 as specified in the budget.
Mayor Hansen made a motion, second by Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, to introduce Ordinance
No. 1821 repealing and reenacting Lodi Municipal Code Title 5 - Permits and Regulations -
Chapter 5.12, "Cardrooms," increasing the number of legal cardroom games, expanding
cardroom hours, and increasing the number of tables.
