WHEREAS, bills signed by the Governor in November 2007 will require major changes in
flood protection in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Valley; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 5 requires a plan to reach 200 -year levels of flood protection for
urban and urbanizing areas by 2012 and requires 200 -year levels of flood protection to be in place
by 2025; and
WHEREAS, the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency (SJAFCA) and San Joaquin County
have been meeting with the State Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) to discuss a feasibility study to develop a project that would provide flood
protection for the urban areas of Stockton, Lathrop, Manteca, the Lodi wastewater treatment plant,
and unincorporated areas of San Joaquin County. The study area includes the Lower San Joaquin
River, from the southern end of San Joaquin County to the northern boundaries of the City of
Stockton, up to and including the Lodi wastewater treatment plant adjacent to Interstate 5 near
Thornton Road; and
WHEREAS, the cost for the Lower San Joaquin River Feasibility Study is estimated at $8 to
$10 million, and cost -shares will consist of 50% from the Corps, 25% from the State, and 25% from
local agencies. Assuming a $10 million study cost, the local share is $2.5 million. Using a formula
based upon levee miles, the Lodi share is $17,731 that would be paid over a five-year period. The
largest shares have been assigned to SJAFCA (40%) and San Joaquin County (15%), with the
remainder divided amongst a number of Reclamation Districts, Stockton, Lathrop, Manteca, and
Lodi.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve the
City of Lodi cost share for the Lower San Joaquin River Feasibility Study: and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby authorize the City Manager
