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.
Spencer Dayton thanked Council for listening to his concerns at Council meetings and for
encouraging citizens to come forward on issues, as well as the City Manager and staff for the
work they do.
um411 Sara Ramirez, with the assistance of a translator, submitted a petition (filed) regarding the
condition of the pavement on Oak Street and in the alley. She stated she has complained to
Public Works many times, but the solution was to apply asphalt to the potholes, which was
done twice in the past two years. Ms. Ramirez stated the alley is deteriorating and it floods when
it rains, which damages cars and causes difficulties for handicapped individuals. She encouraged
Council to take care of the problem once and for all, adding that she and her neighbors pay taxes
and are hoping the situation is corrected.
In response to City Manager Schwabauer, Ms. Ramirez stated the entire area is problematic;
however, the worst section is between Garfield Street and Cherokee Lane.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Public Works Director Charlie Swimley stated this alley
is included in Phase 8 of the Water Meter Program. In addition to this alley, there are two other
problematic alleys in Phase 8, and staffs goal is to maintain them as best it can until Phase 8
begins because, at that point, they will be completely repaved. He stated it would not be prudent
to spend money fixing them now, only to tear them up during the course of the Water Meter
Program. Council Member Mounce stated Lodi should receive an additional $1.5 million in road
repair funding next year and questioned if it is possible to do something now because some of the
alleys are in extremely poor condition. Mr. Swimley stated Public Works is trying to be as
responsive as it can and he is hesitant to invest a significant amount of money on something that
will be destroyed in a short period of time. He suggested the neighbors contact Public Works
each time there is a problem so the Department can temporarily resolve the issue until it is
rectified with Phase 8. Mr. Swimley stated Phase 8 should commence around this time next year.
Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi assured Ms. Ramirez that Public Works staff will contact her
regarding the matter.

At one time or another, the neighbors living in the alley of East Oak Street from Garfield to Cherokee
have called the city of Lodi to report the large potholes in the alley with no response from the City of
Lodi.
A couple years ago the City of Lodi came out and covered a couple of the larger potholes, within a
month, the material had settled to the bottom of the potholes remain and larger now.
Due to all the rain, the potholes have gotten larger and deeper.
Vehicles are getting damaged due to the large potholes such as alignment issues, replacing of tires, rotor
issues etc. and the City of Lodi is not taking care of the bills incurred.
Kids, Seniors with canes, walkers or handicapped persons cannot walk through this alley due to all the
potholes and everyone including vehicles stay on the better side dodging all the potholes and unsafe for
anyone walking, in the alley.
Some vehicles drive fast through this alley not knowing of all the potholes and spray all the buildings
with rocks, water, mud etc. as well as vehicles and anyone brave enough to walk through this alley.
The East Oak Alley needs a complete pave job from Garfield to Cherokee Lane, not just a patch up job
which only worsen the road.
All the neighbors at East Oak Street alley appreciate your attention in this matter.
Thank you so much for your attention.
