D. Comments by the Public on Non -Agenda Items
THE TIME ALLOWED PER NON -AGENDA ITEM FOR COMMENTS MADE BY THE
PUBLIC IS LIMITED TO FIVE MINUTES.
Public comment may only be made on matters within the Lodi City Council's jurisdiction
(Government Code Section 54954.3, Lodi City Council Protocol Manual Section 6.31). The
Council cannot take action or deliberate on items that are not on this agenda unless there
is an emergency and the need to take action on that emergency arose after this agenda
was posted (Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(2)). All other items may only be
referred for review to staff or placement on a future Council agenda.
Darrell Fong, Council Member for the City of Sacramento, introduced himself as a candidate for
assemblymember of the 9th Assembly District, which incorporates Lodi.
John Ledbetter and Josh Newfield, representing the Hutchins Street Square Foundation,
announced that the Foundation is returning the long-standing event, Field and Fair Day, on
September 1 from 6:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Mr. Ledbetter expressed appreciation to the City and
staff for continuing its partnership with the Foundation, which has enabled many fine events to
occur at the facility. Mr. Newfield distributed brochures regarding Field and Fair Day and
announced that Re -Max is providing a hot air balloon, which will set up at 6:30 a.m. on the west
lawn; the gates will open at 7 a.m.; tickets for the Kiwanis breakfast are $6; and admission to the
event is $5.
John Slaughterback expressed his concerns about the $3 million cost to repair the digesters at
the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility and further stated he felt discouraged by the
City Manager's comments from the last meeting about his lack of understanding of this issue,
adding that he may no longer attend Council meetings to question City operations. Mr.
Slaughterback further expressed concern that the salary increase for an employee at the
wastewater plant went before Council without going through the chain of command, stating that
each level of management should have been involved in this process before reaching Council.
Mayor Katzakian assured Mr. Slaughterback and the public that each Council Member asks
questions and meets with staff, in addition to discussing topics at Shirtsleeve Sessions, prior to
voting on issues and he is satisfied with the responses given to him.
Council Member Mounce stated that transparency and input from public is of utmost concern to
the City Council and she assured the public that Council Members do their research behind the
scenes by asking questions and studying each matter before it comes before Council for a vote.
Ms. Mounce further explained that recommendations for salary increases or reclassifications
come from union representatives and are reviewed by each level of management before coming
to Council, and that one of the duties of the Human Resources Manager is to present these items
to Council on behalf of the City.
City Manager Schwabauer clarified that his comment last meeting was that Mr. Slaughterback
and the City could not agree on the recommendation about the White Slough digesters, not that
he did not understand, and Mr. Schwabauer apologized for any misunderstanding. He added that
he and Mr. Slaughterback may not always agree, but he welcomes his input and comments and
appreciates that Mr. Slaughterback routinely presents himself in a respectful manner. He
encouraged Mr. Slaughterback to continue attending meetings and invited him to meet
individually as well, if he wished to learn more about issues facing the City.
Council Member Johnson stated that, despite the high cost of the digester project, he
was convinced the repairs are needed and that it was necessary to pass the matter on an
emergency basis. He further encouraged Mr. Slaughterback to continue attending meetings to
provide his input.
Mr. Schwabauer further commented that the Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, who
recently received the salary increase, is new to the job and that it was because of her diligence
that the problem with the digesters was discovered. He believed she is a quality manager and
deserved the increase.
E. Comments by the Citv Council Members on Non-Aaenda Items
Council Member Nakanishi reminded the public that the 12th annual Coastal Cleanup Day is
September 20 and encouraged the public to volunteer their time.
Council Member Johnson commented on the Lodi News -Sentinel article regarding the Shirtsleeve
Session on downtown parking and requested staff return to Council with a discussion on options
to make the parking garage more attractive and to increase usage. He expressed disappointment
that this asset sits empty on most days and suggested that the public may be reluctant to use it
for safety reasons.
Mayor Katzakian suggested installing ticket kiosks for motorists to purchase parking stickers and
display them on the dash of their cars, stating that paying for street parking may increase usage
of the free parking garage.
F. Comments by the Citv Manaaer on Non-Aaenda Items

accurately reflect insurance terminology in today's market. She reminded Council that it took
action earlier on the Consent Calendar to increase the insurance amounts.

1-2 Consider Disbandina the Lodi Animal Advisory Commission (PD
Council Member Mounce stated that she was opposed to disbanding the Lodi Animal Advisory
Commission and that the volunteers serving on this Commission bring fresh ideas to the table
and have served the City Council well.
Council Member Johnson stated that he does not question the interest of those serving, but
rather the effectiveness of the Commission, which is why he asked that this matter be brought
back to Council for discussion. The Commission has had difficulty in filling vacancies and
maintaining a quorum for its meetings, which is why the Commission requested a bylaw change
to allow a quorum to be two members.
Council Member Nakanishi expressed support for the Commission, stating that, if citizens wish to
serve, the City should keep it. He stated he would not support disbanding the Commission.
Eunice Friederich expressed disappointment that this matter was brought forward again. She
stated that a majority of the boards and commissions are experiencing difficulty in recruiting
volunteers, but the Animal Commission should not be penalized for that reason. She requested
Council not disband the Commission, suggesting that the newly -elected Council may wish to
maintain this volunteer group and that it should make the decision.
Daniel Crownover, former member of the Lodi Animal Advisory Commission, stated that the
volunteers work hard to accomplish the Commission's goals and suggested that dinnertime
meetings may be contributing to member absences. He requested Council not disband the
Commission.
City Manager Schwabauer confirmed that, despite the Commission's request, the Lodi Animal
Advisory Commission does not have a member representing People Assisting the Lodi Shelter
(PALS).
In response to Council Member Johnson, Animal Services Officer Jennifer Bender stated that the
Commission requested it meet every other month, instead of monthly, due to the fact there are
routinely too few items for the agenda.
In response to Council Member Johnson, City Attorney Magdich stated she could not opine
regarding the implication of a conflict of interest in the letter from the Commission, as she has not
had an opportunity to review it. Mr. Schwabauer stated that the letter intimates that the City
wished to receive advice from PALS on how to run animal services and he confirmed that the City
had no intention to do so.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Ms. Bender stated that the Commission had a special
meeting where it drafted the letter that was presented to Council in the packet and it was aware of
the date this matter was going before Council.
Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen stated that he was in support of disbanding the Commission based
on the level of staff time, lack of agenda items before the Commission, and the decision to meet
every other month. He believed the Commission had run its course.
Council Member Mounce stated she believed the Commission was prepared to discuss this item
on July 16, but the matter was pulled from the agenda, and they may not have been made aware
that it was rescheduled to this meeting. She felt that the Commission's reason for being created
still exists as problems continue at the animal shelter, the building is aging, the intake of animals
has significantly increased, and the population of this community has grown. She believed this
group is dedicated to resolving these issues and cited the example of the the Barn Cat program,
which was recently promoted by the group as a means to encourage adoption of feral cats.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, Ms. Bender stated that the representative who
created a Barn Cat program in EI Dorado Hills presented its program to the City, and in 2011, the
Barn Cat program was implemented at the Lodi animal shelter. Since that time, PALS has
donated vaccinations for feral cats and local veterinarians have offered spaying and neutering at
reduced rates. The Commission was not involved until a year ago when it presented the idea to
send a letter to the wineries and dairies to promote this program further. Ms. Bender stated that,
after the initial implementation of the program, there were some adoptions but, to date, no
wineries or dairies have contacted the City about adopting these feral cats.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Lieutenant Chris Jacobson expressed appreciation for
the Commissioners who volunteer their time. The concern, however, is that the Commission has
had the same items on its agenda for multiple years without resolution; he has offered to take
suggestions and recommendations to the Council but it does not avail itself of that opportunity;
the annual reports are routinely late; and last year he prepared the annual report on a two-year
basis in order to submit it in a timely manner. Council Member Mounce stated she believed the
Commission was previously confused about how the Council agenda process worked and further
expressed her hope that the meeting set up with the audience seated behind the Commission
had been changed, as that is an ineffective environment for a public meeting. She felt there was
much more this Commission could do and that this group adds value to the City.
Police Chief Mark Helms stated this is a Council -appointed Commission and that staff would
support the recommendation of Council by setting, implementing, and carrying out its policy.
From his perspective, however, the primary issue with animal services in Lodi is the lack of
resources, funding, and tools needed to provide effective animal services in this community.
Lodi has grown tremendously while the facility and abilities have not kept pace. Chief Helms
stated that the City needs to consult experts in the field of animal services who know the trends
and methods of lowering euthanasia rates in order to reach the goal of a no -kill shelter and to
improve adoption rates.
Council Member Johnson made a motion, second by Mayor Pro Tempore Hansen, to adopt
Resolution No. 2014-162 disbanding the Lodi Animal Advisory Commission.
