b) Agenda item #H-2 entitled, "Authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction
agreement with Job Corps/Operating Engineers for construction of Lodi Lake Beach/West
Side (undeveloped area) Trail Improvements".
Parks Superintendent Dauber reported that the Lodi Lake Beach/Trail project is a two-
phase project. Phase I includes the beach and Tumer Road from the beach house to
Mills Avenue intersection. The Job Corps/Operating Engineers have agreed to do this
public service project for the City of Lodi by performing the following work: supply labor
and equipment to remove the wall and sidewalk along Turner Road; remove tree root
balls; grade for new trail including relocating berm and grading of beach. Value of this
service is estimated to be $50,000. As part of this agreement, the City is to provide fuel
for equipment, dust control, traffic control, construction staking, transportation of
equipment, and design. This project is to start mid-November.
Following discussion, the City Council, on motion of Council Member Pennino, Hitchcock
second, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 99-165 authorizing the City Manager to sign
a construction agreement with Job Corps/Operating Engineers for construction of Lodi
Lake Beach/West Side Trail Project with the language regarding tree removal deleted
from the agreement.

From: Friends of Lodi Lake

Position paper: The pavilion/shelter
We are unalterably opposed to the construction on the lake of any
structures such as the proposed pavilion/shelter. We are equally opposed
to sound amplification at Lodi Lake Park by the use of microphones and
loudspeakers. This would represent for us undue urbanization of the lake
area. Notable exceptions are the Ooh Ahh and Wet and Wild events.
The plan we presented two years ago for a pavilion/shelter on the
westside is much preferred by us over the current City plan.
Respectfully yours,
