League of California Cities Central Valley Regional Public Affairs Manager Stephen Qualls
announced that Council Member Mounce was elected President of the League of California Cities
in October and has done a tremendous job representing the City, State, and the League as a
Board Member.
Mayor Chandler also extended his congratulations to Council Member Mounce.
E. Comments by the Citv Council Members on Non-Aaenda Items
Council Member Johnson expressed disappointment that the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce
chooses to hold the Mayor's State of the City Address in Woodbridge and suggested staff meet
with the Chamber to discuss holding future events within the City limits. Council Member Johnson
commented on the recent news article in The Record regarding San Joaquin County Emergency
Management Services (EMS) and its Director who is dictating what County fire districts can and
cannot do with regard to County fire input. He stated that Fire Chief Rooney provided Council with
a memorandum detailing the situation further, that he believes this is inappropriate, and if it
continues, Council should weigh in on the matter by contacting members of the Board of
Supervisors.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne commended Mayor Chandler on doing a fine job with the State of
the City Address and was pleased to hear about the many positive accomplishments and future
endeavors taking place in Lodi. With regard to the County EMS issue, he reported that the Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is concerned as well and will be weighing in on this
issue soon. Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne reported that he attended the LAFCO conference in
Santa Barbara, at which State legislative issues were presented and the effect they will have on
cities. The keynote speaker was the son of Jacques Cousteau who addressed the convention
about major water concerns in California.
Council Member Mounce reported that she recently addressed the Lions Club of Lodi and the
Historical Society, during which she highlighted the League of California Cities and the value the
organization brings to Lodi and the State. Further, Council Member Mounce reported that she,
along with 15 other League Board representatives, appointed the new League Executive Director
to replace former Director Chris McKenzie who retired after 17 years. Carolyn Coleman will be
the first female to lead the League and comes with vast experience and knowledge.
F. Comments by the Citv Manaaer on Non-Aaenda Items

G. Public Hearinas
G-1 Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolution Approving the Planning Commission's
Recommendation to Authorize 28 Medium -Density Residential Growth Management
Allocations for the Camper - Sacramento Street Subdivision (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 Chandler called for the public hearing to consider adopting
resolution approving the Planning Commission's recommendation to authorize 28 Medium -
Density Residential Growth Management Allocations for the Camper - Sacramento Street
Subdivision.
City Planner Craig Hoffman provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the Camper -
Sacramento Street Subdivision application and growth management allocation. Specific topics of
discussion included vicinity map, subdivision map, growth allocation, and Planning Commission
recommendation.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Hoffman stated that Public Works is not in favor of
speed bumps because of long-term maintenance and added that speed bumps on
Sacramento Street, with its mixed use of commercial and residential, would likely impede large
commercial vehicles. Mr. Hoffman stated that Sacramento Street is a wide street, but it may be
prudent to close down the street by lowering the speed limit, and signage would help in that
0
regard. The Planning Commission took the issue of traffic seriously and spent an hour discussing
all of the topics relating to this project.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne stated he was pleased this is an in -fill project, he appreciates the
design, and feels the on -street parking will naturally slow down traffic; however, he expressed
concern with the lack of parking, specifically parking for guests within the 16 interior units of the
project, which has two -car garages but no guest parking. He believed this will force cars to park
on the street at a rate that is more than the street can handle. He suggested removing two units
from the back, near the railroad, to create on-site parking. He stated he would like this project to
be a positive addition to the community well into the future.
Council Member Mounce also expressed appreciation that this is an in -fill project but expressed
concern about the proximity to the railroad and the amount of noise and vibration residents will
experience. In addition, she stated neighbors have complained about the major traffic issue in the
area and suggested that stop signs or speed bumps be considered, adding that speed bumps
have been successfully utilized in Stockton. She agreed with Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne that
parking congestion will occur and pointed out that the community center is located directly across
the street, which will add to the parking problem. She stated she would like to hear what the
Planning Commission's comments were on this project.
Mr. Hoffman explained that each home in the project will have a two -car garage; there will be a
Home Owners' Association (HOA) to ensure garages are used as intended and not for storage;
the development is intended for those not seeking conventional housing; and the proximity is
close to downtown. There is room for 26 parking spaces along the frontage of the project, which
is consistent with conventional housing projects like Reynolds Ranch and Rosegate, and the
Planning Commission believed there was ample parking.
Council Member Mounce stated she was opposed to closing down that portion of
Sacramento Street, because it would close off access to the community center.
Council Member Johnson questioned the rationale behind the discussion to close down that
portion of the street. Mr. Hoffman explained there was never discussion about closing the street,
but there was consideration of turning some into one-way streets; however, that neighborhood
was specifically designed for two-way traffic. City Manager Schwabauer clarified that "closing
down the street" meant reducing the speed limit. Mr. Hoffman further stated that adding on -street
parking will help reduce speeds as well. Council Member Johnson stated he was pleased this is
an in -fill project, but this discussion has him concerned abut the parking as well. He pointed to the
Tienda Drive project, stating there was a parking concern about spill over parking onto
Tienda Drive and questioned if the parking issue on this project has been thoroughly vetted.
Mr. Schwabauer explained that the difference in the two projects is that Tienda Drive has two
units fronting the street; whereas, this project has 26 units along the frontage with more space to
park vehicles.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne stated he was pleased to hear that an HOA will monitor use of the
two -car garages, but his concern over visitor parking has still not been assuaged. He pointed out
there is also a market, storage unit, and recycling center in the area that will contribute to the on -
street parking congestion. Mr. Hoffman stated that historically this area has not had a significant
amount of on -street parking and pointed out that visitors are able to park on either side of the
street from north to south. Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne stated that removing one unit, instead of
two, would likely suffice in creating ample on-site parking in the interior of the development.
Council Member Mounce stated this is an exciting project that will improve the depressed area
and provide housing near downtown and the multi -modal station.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Hoffman stated the Planning Commission
reviewed and discussed the proximity of the development to the railroad tracks and the parking
concern, but after the hearing, the Commission was appeased and had no further concerns with
the on -street and on-site parking.

Mayor Chandler opened the public hearing for public comment
Bruce Camper, project developer, stated that considerable thought went into the project, including
parking, proximity to the railroad, sound issues, and number of units, and focus groups and
meetings were held. He stated he believed that, with the two -car garages, additional parking in
driveways, and on -street parking, there was adequate parking for the project.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne stated that the elevation map appears to indicate there is
inadequate space to park in the driveways. In response, Darryl Sasaki stated this project was
modeled off of the development on Chickadee Lane and Century Boulevard, which has additional
parking between each of the units. When drafting the design, it was determined that adding more
parking to the units would lessen the quality of the project in the long run.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Camper stated that he received an excellent
response regarding the development from neighboring residents and those who attended the
Planning Commission meeting. He stated this project will increase property values and benefit
local merchants who are equally excited about the project. In further response, Mr. Camper
stated the project will not have a sound wall, but construction will include internal building
measures, such as noise -resistant purple board, in order to achieve a better decibel rating than
the standard 46 decibels. He stated he could not reveal the selling price of the homes but they
would likely start around $275,000 in order to accommodate the City's request for affordable
housing.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne, Mr. Sasaki reiterated that the design eliminates
parking in the driveways; instead, there is a ten -foot buffer between the homes that could be used
for additional parking.
There being no further public comments, Mayor Chandler closed the public hearing.
Council Member Mounce made a motion, second by Council Member Johnson, to adopt
Resolution No. 2016-197 approving the Planning Commission's recommendation to authorize 28
Medium -Density Residential Growth Management Allocations for the Camper - Sacramento
Street Subdivision.

G-2 Public Hearing to Consider Introducing Ordinances Adopting the 2016 California Building
Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green
Building Standard Code, and Fire Code (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 Chandler called for the public hearing to consider introducing
ordinances adopting the 2016 California Building Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code,
Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green Building Standard Code, and Fire Code.
Building Official Dennis Canright provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding adoption of the
2016 California codes. Specific topics of discussion included code adoption, 2016 California
Building Standards Code - Title 24, major changes, public communication, 2016 California
Building Code, and staff recommendation.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Canright confirmed that the changes are dictated by
the State.
Council Member Nakanishi questioned why the City even needs to take action since it is required
3
to adopt the State's code by January 1 or be forced to follow the State code. Mr. Canright
explained that the City incorporates its own appendix chapters, which it would not be permitted to
use if the City failed to adopt the State code.
Mayor Chandler opened the public hearing for public comment.
There being no public comments, Mayor Chandler closed the public hearing.
Council Member Johnson made a motion, second by Council Member Mounce, to introduce
Ordinances No. 1932, No. 1933, No. 1934, No. 1935, No. 1936, No. 1937, and No. 1938

G-3 Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolution Setting the San Joaquin County Multi -
Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan Development Fees for 2017 and
Updating the Fee Model for the Conservation Plan (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 Chandler called for the public hearing to consider adopting
resolution setting the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space
Plan (SJMSCP) Development Fees for 2017 and updating the fee model for the Conservation
Plan.
City Planner Craig Hoffman provided a presentation regarding the SJMSCP development fees for
2017. Specific topics of discussion included Lodi's adoption of the Plan on February 21, 2001;
schedule of fees for property owners developing properties with non-agricultural uses; mitigation
of impacts of new development on habitat; requirement for all jurisdictions covered by the plan to
adopt the fees; annual review; five-year financial analysis of the plan; goal to review and refine as
necessary; costs of implementing fees; approval of 2017 fee schedule by San Joaquin Council of
Governments; and recommendation to adopt the fee, which will become effective January 1,
2017.
Mayor Chandler opened the public hearing for public comment.

1-1 Provide Direction on Setting of Rebate Caps for Annual Lodi Electric Utility Solar Rebate
Program (CM)
Business Development Manager Adam Brucker provided a PowerPoint presentation on Lodi
Electric Solar Rebate Program. Specific Topics of discussion included program to date, 2016
rebate payments, 2017 program - final year of state mandate, and options going forward.
Council Member Mounce expressed support for a modified Option 1 as set forth: a) fund the
$320,000 carry-over of eight non-residential rebate projects at the 2016 cap of $40,000; b) reduce
the non-residential category of $100,000 to fund two projects instead of the proposed 2.5; and
c) move the remaining funds into the residential category.
Council Member Nakanishi concurred with the suggestion, stating he would like to maintain the
$5,000 rebate cap for the residential category.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne suggested the following modification to Council Member Mounce's
suggestion: a) fund the $320,000 carry-over of eight non-residential rebate projects at the 2016
cap of $40,000 as suggested; b) reduce the non-residential rebate cap to $33,000, instead of the
proposed $40,000, to allow for three projects instead of the proposed 2.5; and c) move the
remaining funds into the residential category.
Bill Conley with Renewable Technologies questioned the policy of carrying over the commercial
projects from 2016 to 2017 when it was originally handled as a lottery and whether people were
notified of this during the enrollment period.
Mr. Brucker explained that all 15 non-residential entries in 2016 were entered into the lottery and
ranked; the first five projects exhausted the limit; and any project that did not move forward
opened up a slot for the next in line in the lottery. The residential category was handled similarly;
however, there was no need to conduct a lottery. Mr. Brucker confirmed that previous Council
direction was to carry over the projects that were not successful in the lottery, those individuals
were notified of their position, and all eight projects are still active.
Darryl Conklin from Renewable Technologies recognized that the eight project sponsors were
notified about the carry over, but questioned if the greater public was notified that there would be
a waiting list already established at the beginning of the new rebate year instead of a new lottery
process. He believed the waiting list did not create a fair opportunity for a clean slate to
participate in the lottery or application process and he advocated for a program re -set.
Mr. Brucker stated that the Council meeting in February, at which Council directed staff to create
a waiting list, was open to the public, as was the lottery process. Mr. Conklin countered that the
waiting list was not clear to those involved or communicated to all stakeholders. He further stated
that the Federal solar investment tax credit is scheduled to carry over to 2019 and does not end
this year.
In response to City Manager Schwabauer, Mr. Brucker stated he could not recall if information
regarding a waiting list or any change to the program was posted on the City's website.
Mr. Conklin requested Council postpone its decision and provide public notice about any changes
in the program, adding there are other commercial entities looking to move to solar and this limits
them from taking advantage of the rebate program.
Council Member Mounce questioned if his proposal included carrying over the eight projects, but
have them participate in the lottery process, to which Mr. Conklin stated that would be fairest. He
further stated a $30,000 cap versus $40,000 for non-residential is not a significant difference,
but the program re -set is key. Mr. Conklin stated that commercial businesses pay higher rates
and use more power and they would like to send a message that they are green. Council Member
Mounce pointed out that residential customers subsidize industrial customers and that industrial
customers do not pay the highest rates, although they use more electricity. In further reply to
Mr. Conklin, Council Member Mounce stressed that General Mills did not leave Lodi because of
Lodi Electric Utility rates. Mr. Conklin stressed the importance of enticing business owners to look
0
at solar power, stating he would like businesses to have a fair opportunity in this process because
they were unaware of the waiting list and requested Council re -set the program.
City Attorney Magdich stated she recalled that Council's decision on the waiting list was made at
a public hearing, which was duly noticed, published in the newspaper, and posted and that the
subsequent Council minutes were posted as well. Municipalities are not required to do further
outreach, stating that the public hearing notice is considered the outreach and the public has an
opportunity to attend hearings and state their opinions.
Mr. Conklin countered that, had the notice stated there would be procedural changes
implemented and a waiting list created, a greater segment of the public would have participated,
but Council made its decision at the dais.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne, Mr. Brucker stated the rebate program will conclude
at the end of 2017, explaining that the State mandated program started in 2008 and was intended
to run for ten years unless extended by new legislation.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Brucker explained that every customer pays a
solar charge that is collected for this rebate program and at the end of the program, the surcharge
will sunset.
With regard to the last suggested change to Option 1, Council Member Mounce suggested
moving at least $5,000 from the non-residential category into the residential category in order to
complete one more project at the $5,000 cap and divide the remaining balance in the non-
residential category for as many projects as is reasonable.
Mr. Brucker stated that many of the non-residential projects will reach the maximum cap, but
there are smaller projects also looking for rebates.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Schwabauer stated that, once the solar rebate
charge is eliminated, customers will see a slight decrease in the rate, roughly 2.5 percent.
Mr. Brucker added it would equate to 0.000125 per kilowatt hour.
Council Member Mounce stated she could not support a motion that does not cover an even
number of projects in the residential category at the $5,000 cap.
Mr. Schwabauer suggested a non-residential category amount of $95,000 split into three projects
and moving the remaining $5,000 into the residential category for a total amount of $185,000 for
37 projects at a $5,000 rebate cap.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne made a motion, second by Council Member Johnson, to
approve funding the $320,000 carry-over of eight non-residential rebate projects at the 2016 cap
of $40,000; allocating $185,000 to the residential category for 37 projects at the $5,000 cap; and
allocating $95,000 in the non-residential category to be divided among three projects.
