AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolution Declaring the Formation of a
Groundwater Sustainability Agency Within Lodi City Limits
MEETING DATE: January 6, 2016
PREPARED BY: Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Public hearing to consider adopting resolution declaring the
formation of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency within Lodi city
limits.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the September 22, 2015 Shirtsleeve meeting, City Council
received background information on the Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act (SGMA). The background information included
discussion regarding the general requirements and potential impacts of SGMA to local agencies.
At the October 20, 2015 Shirtsleeve meeting, Council received requested follow-up information regarding
SGMA that included more detailed discussion on the formation of Groundwater Sustainable Agencies
(GSA's), as well as the cost to prepare a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). Both are requirements
of SGMA. The presentation also requested Council provide Staff with direction to proceed with planning
the framework to form a GSA. Based on the minutes of that meeting, the Council was generally in
agreement to move forward with forming an independent GSA (Exhibit A). Forming an independent GSA
does not prohibit the City from participating with other GSA's, if beneficial to the City.
The State has established June 30, 2017 as the deadline to form a GSA. On November 18, 2015, the
Advisory Water Commission voted to approve the County's request to form a GSA over the entire County
jurisdictional boundary. Because the County's jurisdiction overlaps all local agencies within the County
boundary, this proposed action by the County requires those agencies intending to form an independent
GSA to declare their intent with the State within 90 days of the County's filing. Those agencies that do
not declare their intent to form independently within this period will be recognized by the State to fall
under the exclusive County -controlled GSA.
Staff has discussed the City's overlapping jurisdictional boundaries with Woodbridge Irrigation District
(WID) and North San Joaquin Water Conservation District (NSJWCD). WID and NSJWCD intend to form
independent GSA's. Both agencies have preliminarily agreed to adjust their respective GSA boundaries
to remove the overlap, as reflected in Exhibit B. Lodi, along with WID and NSJWCD, are encouraging
the County to file its overarching GSA excluding the proposed limits of the Lodi, WID, and NSJWCD
GSA. To establish the City's desire to form an independent GSA, Staff recommends declaring the City's
intent with the State within 90 days of the County's filing.
SGMA requires that agencies follow the noticing procedures established in Water Code Section 10723
and Government Code Section 6066. Staff recommends the Council conduct a public hearing to
consider adopting a resolution declaring the formation of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency within
Lodi city limits.

SHIRTSLEEVE SESSION
CARNEGIE FORUM, 305 WEST PINE STREET
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2015
A. Roll Call by City Clerk
An Informal Informational Meeting ("Shirtsleeve" Session) of the Lodi City Council was held
Tuesday, October 20, 2015, commencing at 7:00 a.m.
Present: Council Member Kuehne, Council Member Mounce, Council Member Nakanishi, and
Mayor Johnson
Absent: Mayor Pro Tempore Chandler
Also Present: City Manager Schwabauer, City Attorney Magdich, and City Clerk Ferraiolo
NOTE: Council Member Kuehne arrived at 7:02 a.m.
NOTE: Council Member Nakanishi left at 8:10 a.m.
B. Topic(s)
B-1 Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2014115 Water. Wastewater, and Electric Utility Department
Financial Reports (CM)
Electric Utility Director Elizabeth Kirkley provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the fiscal
year 2014/15 fourth quarter electric utility update. Specific topics of discussion included electric
utility fund cash flow summary, reserve policy, cash balances, power sales, energy cost
adjustment (ECA) revenue, operating results, power supply costs, bad debt write off, load
coverage, and activities.
Mayor Johnson questioned if the $13 million in the operating reserve was closing in on the target
of $17 million, to which Ms. Kirkley responded that, if the Utility maintains its current plan and
based on the financial forecast, it will reach the target over time.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Ms. Kirkley confirmed that the Northern California
Power Agency (NCPA) operating reserve is $1.3 million over the target amount; however, she
stated some of the funding is targeted for other purposes. Council Member Mounce stated that
the overage amount should go into the City's operating reserve and that she is uncomfortable
with NCPA holding more of Lodi's money than it should. Ms. Kirkley pointed out that the City
receives interest on those funds, and Deputy City Manager Jordan Ayers likened it to an
investment account because NCPA generates greater interest than the City would receive at a
banking institution.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Ms. Kirkley confirmed that $3.5 million was transferred in the
current budget from the public benefit fund into the operating account, which will be included in
the next quarterly update, leaving $1 million in the public benefit fund.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Ayers confirmed that $1.2 million was collected in
penalty revenue associated with late utility bills. He pointed out that those charges apply to the
total bill and are not given to a specific utility.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Ms. Kirkley confirmed that the energy audit program is
available to all utility customers, regardless if they are renters or homeowners.
In response to Mayor Johnson, City Manager Schwabauer stated that costs associated with
emergency assistance provided by the City to NCPA is reimbursed to the City, similar to the Fire
Department's mutual aid agreement.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Ms. Kirkley stated that the collected meter data is used
in engineering studies to review feeders and transformers on the system to determine if they are
overloaded, underloaded, or need replacement.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Ms. Kirkley stated that staff is not experiencing any recruitment
difficulties for the current openings, adding that many of the applicants are internal.
Public Works Director Wally Sandelin provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the fiscal
year 2014/15 fourth quarter water and wastewater utility update. Specific topics of discussion
included cash flow summary, operating results, cash balances, and cash flow summary for
wastewater; operating results and cash balances for water; bad debt write off; and
water/wastewater utility activities.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Schwabauer stated that a majority of the Central Valley cities
received letters from the State stating they did not meet the water conservation targets, and he
believed that, as long as the State meets its overall goal, it is likely there will be no consequences
imposed. Mayor Johnson questioned how Lodi can put a positive spin on conservation when the
local press is reporting that cities like Lodi and Ripon are not meeting the goals. Mr. Sandelin
responded that staff has increased its enforcement efforts and issuance of fines and published a
press release on the matter. Staff will also bring an item to Council next month to restructure the
fee schedule for water waste offenders. Mr. Sandelin stated that Council can also consider
moving to a higher water emergency stage by decreasing watering days from two times to one
time per week; however, he recommended maintaining the current level and continuing to assess
the results.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Sandelin explained that the category of "other"
includes costs associated with Public Works assisting other departments with projects or private
citizens with repairs, which is charged back to the Department.
Council Member Kuehne questioned the increase in the Public Works budget from fiscal year
2012/13 to 2015/16, and staff replied that it would look into the matter and report back to Council.
Council Member Mounce pointed out that the bad debt write off for the three utilities appears to
total $240,000, yet the City collected $1.2 million in finance and late charges. She believed the
City should not make money from the penalties and suggested they should be softened.
Mr. Ayers stated that the total bad debt for fiscal year 2014/15 was $321,000, which also includes
bad debt associated with other services including refuse, and that the $1.2 million in late fees is
for late payments and has no correlation to bad debt write off. The revenue stream for late fees
was not intended to cover bad debt. Council Member Mounce expressed her opposition to putting
the revenue from late fees into the general fund, rather than back into the utility, and reiterated
that the penalties should be reduced and the billing cycle timeline be revisited. Mr. Ayers stated
that the concept of current late charges and billing timeline will come before Council at a
Shirtsleeve Session in the next few weeks.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Ayers stated he would provide Council with
information on how many businesses are assessed late penalties.
Council Member Kuehne requested that, when Council-approved projects are completed, a
photograph of the final product be provided to Council. Mr. Schwabauer replied in the affirmative,
stating that completed construction projects routinely go before Council for acceptance and he
will ensure a photograph is attached to the staff report.
B-2 Receive Follow Up Information on the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (PW)
Deputy Public Works Director Charlie Swimley provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Specific topics of discussion included
SGMA follow up from previous meeting, basin identification and boundaries, SGMA timeline,
Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) formation, options for GSA formations, GSA formation
process, GSA estimated cost, general Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) scope, and GSP
estimated cost. Mr. Swimley informed Council that Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) Board is
holding a meeting at 10 a.m. today with its members and farmers in the district to discuss the
matter and which direction the District should move.
Mayor Johnson expressed concern that those behind this effort seem unsure of the end result
and suggested the City wait until the ultimate foundation is settled, particularly if the final target
continues to evolve and change.
Council Member Kuehne stated he believed the preferable option is to form a joint powers
agreement with the entire area, over an independent GSA, because there is strength in numbers
and it would cover the entire San Joaquin basin. Mr. Swimley responded that Lodi has put forth a
tremendous effort to achieve sustainability in its jurisdiction by investing $15 million and the City
should do all it can to protect that investment. An independent GSA would provide Lodi with
autonomy; however, he stated it is unclear if Lodi can ultimately form its own agency because of
overlapping districts. Mr. Schwabauer added that Lodi has 5,000 to 6,000 acre feet of surplus
water that is sustainable and if Lodi were to join an agency with 10 to 15 other entities that are not
sustainable, they could out vote Lodi and take the water to make others sustainable. Lodi forming
its own GSA would force other agencies to be sustainable on their own without taking Lodi's
water from the basin.
Council Member Mounce stated she believed Lodi must fiercely protect its water because other
agencies may not work in partnership once water become a precious commodity. She stated that
she does not want a group with no accountability to this community to make decisions for Lodi,
particularly since GSAs have a significant amount of power, including assessment of fees and the
ability to acquire property. Mr. Schwabauer added that GSAs can also force cities to shut down
their pumps, which is a tremendous power to give to another agency.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Swimley stated that North San Joaquin Water Conservation
District (NSJWCD) has taken a position to wait and see what happens with other entities,
especially since Stockton East formed a GSA which will force overlapping agencies to make a
move. He stated he believed WID would be a positive partner for Lodi, but it is unclear at the
moment what the WID membership will do. Mr. Schwabauer stated that he believed NSJWCD will
likely not oppose Lodi forming an independent GSA, but WID may be a tougher player, although
the overlapping land is minimal.
Council Member Nakanishi stated he believed the cost to form an independent GSA will be
significantly higher than staffs estimate and that, although he initially believed participation in a
Centralized GSA would be more beneficial, an independent GSA would give Lodi the power to
operate under its own terms. Council Member Nakanishi reported that a working group is being
formalized to explore the possibility of a Centralized GSA and he asked for Council consensus to
add Lodi to the list of participants, adding that WID and Stockton already joined. He stated this
would not constitute a formal statement, but it would provide valuable information and allow
discussion toward a decision on whether to join a larger group or be independent.
Mr. Schwabauer reminded Council that it cannot provide such direction at a Shirtsleeve Session.
Council Member Nakanishi stated he believed this State law forces cities to spend a significant
amount of money without receiving any additional needed water and that doing this alone is more
costly than having a Centralized GSA.
Council Member Mounce stated the sole accomplishment of this law is the power to control water
by imposing taxes, regulating water, and allowing for eminent domain and she does not want Lodi
to give up that authority.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Council Member Nakanishi stated he would consent to the course
that Lodi form an independent GSA, which seems to be the recommendation of staff and Council
Member Mounce, but asked that he be permitted to join the County's study group to explore the
possibility of a Centralized GSA. Council Member Mounce stated she was not opposed to joining
the study group so long as it does not commit Lodi to anything other than a discussion on the
matter. Council Member Kuehne stated he would prefer that Lodi partner with as many worthy
partners as it can, such as WID. Council Member Mounce stated that Lodi may ultimately be
forced to bring on additional partners, but throughout the process, Lodi must ensure it has the
majority vote among the entities in the group. Mayor Johnson stated his preference is to form an
independent GSA and that, if the City is forced to increase the size of the GSA, it be limited to the
immediate neighbors only, i.e. WID and NSJWCD.
Myrna Wetzel stated that she attended a meeting with Assemblymember Cooper regarding the
twin tunnels project and he reported that Northern California is against the tunnels, while
Southern California is in favor of the project and they have the greater number of votes.
C. Comments by Public on Non-Aaenda Items
Council Member Mounce referenced an e-mail that Council received regarding the City's tree
policy and the number of trees being cut down on Church Street. She requested staff research
the policy and provide the information to Council and the citizen who questioned the matter.
D. Adjournment
No action was taken by the City Council. The meeting was adjourned at 8:12 a.m.

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-03
A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL DECLARING
THE FORMATION OF A GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY
AGENCY WITHIN LODI CITY LIMITS
WHEREAS, the California legislature has adopted, and the Governor has signed into
law, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 ("SGMA"), which authorizes local
agencies to manage groundwater in a sustainable fashion; and
WHEREAS, the legislative intent is to provide for sustainable management of
groundwater basins, to enhance local management of groundwater, to establish minimum
standards for sustainable groundwater management, and to provide local groundwater agencies
with the authority and technical and financial assistance necessary to sustainably manage
groundwater; and
WHEREAS, in order to exercise the authority granted in SGMA, a local agency or
combination of local agencies must elect to become a Groundwater Sustainability Agency
("GSA"); and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi (the "City") is a local agency, as SGMA defines that term;
and
WHEREAS, the City is committed to sustainable management of its groundwater
resources, as shown by, among other actions, its conservation efforts and substantial
community investment in conjunctive use infrastructure to establish groundwater sustainability;
and
WHEREAS, the City overlies the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Basin (designated
basin number 5-22.01) in the California Department of Water Resources' (DWR) groundwater
basin system; and
WHEREAS, the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Basin has been designated by DWR
as a high-priority basin in critical overdraft; and
WHEREAS, SGMA requires that a GSA be established for all basins designated by the
Department of Water Resources by June 30, 2017; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City to work cooperatively with other local GSAs, as
may be appropriate, to sustainably manage a portion(s) of the Eastern San Joaquin
Groundwater Basin that fall outside the City's jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, Section 10723.2 of SGMA requires that a GSA consider the interests of all
beneficial uses and users of groundwater, as well as those responsible for implementing
groundwater sustainability plans; and
WHEREAS, Section 10723.8 of the SGMA requires that a local public agency electing to
be a GSA to notify the DWR of its election and intention to undertake sustainable groundwater
management within the agency's jurisdictional boundary; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code 6066, notice of a public hearing on the City's
election to become a GSA for the Basin ("Notice") has been published in the Lodi News Sentinel
as provided by law; and
WHEREAS, a courtesy copy of the Notice was mailed to the Eastern San Joaquin
County Groundwater Basin Authority members; and
WHEREAS, on January 6, 2016, the City held a public hearing to consider adoption of
this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to exercise the powers and authorities of a GSA granted by
SGMA and to begin the process of cooperatively preparing a groundwater sustainability plan
("Sustainability Plan") with other GSAs as appropriate; and
WHEREAS, adoption of this Resolution does not constitute a "project" under California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), including organization and
administrative activities of government, because there would be no direct or indirect physical
change in the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Lodi City Council as follows:

San Joaquin Groundwater Basin which underlies the area bound by the Lodi City
limits as shown in Exhibit A; and
2. The Lodi City Council authorizes the City Manager (or his designee) to, within 30
days of the date of this Resolution, provide notice of the City's election to be the
GSA for the Basin ("Notice of GSA Election") to the California Department of
Water Resources in the manner required by law; and
3. Such notification shall include the boundaries of the areas the City intends to
manage, which shall include the lands within the Lodi City limits as shown in
Exhibit A, a copy of this Resolution, a list of interested parties developed
pursuant to Section 10723.2 of SGMA, and an explanation of how their interests
will be considered in the development and operation of the GSA and the
development and implementation of the GSAs groundwater sustainability plan;
and
4. The City Council hereby directs staff to begin discussions with all interested
stakeholders and beneficial users within the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater
Basin, resolve GSA boundary overlaps, and initiate the process of developing a
