member of the public.
Mike Lusk questioned if the purchases on C-10, C-12, and C-13 incorporate development impact
fees to offset builder costs since the cause of the purchase is partially due to new development.
Under the Government Code, the City can increase development impact fees to offset costs
attributed to new development, and he suggested the staff report declare and identify the source
of the funding.
City Manager Schwabauer explained that on-site improvements are paid completely by
developers and off-site improvements can be either directly paid by developers or run through the
impact fee program. He stated he will meet with Mr. Lusk later in the week to explain how the
process works.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce stated that Mr. Lusk's request was reasonable and suggested staff
include more detailed information in future staff reports, including where the money is coming
from and whether developers are paying the cost directly or if it will go through the impact fee
program.

C-31 Adopt Resolution Declaring a Shelter Crisis in Lodi According to the Requirements of the
State of California Homeless Emergency Aid Program (CM)
This item was pulled from the Consent Calendar at the request of Council Member Chandler.
In response to Council Member Chandler, City Manager Schwabauer provided background
information on this item, adding that adopting the resolution does not compel the City Council in
any way, nor is it a grant application to construct a project; it simply makes it possible for the City
to submit a grant application down the line. If the resolution is not adopted, the City would be
unable to apply for grant funds in the future, and staff sees no reason not to support this.
Mayor Nakanishi announced that the City will hold a Town Hall meeting on Monday, October 8,
2018, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Carnegie Forum to discuss homelessness in Lodi and that
various representatives will be present to provide information to the public.
Council Member Kuehne stated he supports this step in the process that would allow the City to
apply for funding to house the homeless; however, he cautioned there are strings attached with
the grant because there is a low threshold tied to the grant money, meaning the homeless do not
have to be in a program to receive assistance.
Mayor Nakanishi stated he is not against adopting the resolution that would allow the City to
apply for grant funding in the future.
Adam Cheshire with the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care stated the requirement to adopt
this resolution is slightly unusual; however, a municipality must make the declaration of a shelter
crisis in order to apply for the grant funds. This grant is the largest source of funds at the moment
for homeless services. He agreed there are strings attached, including the housing first model
8
and the low barrier; however, the program is designed to get people off the street first and then
deal with other issues, such as substance abuse or mental health issues.
John Ledbetter, Lodi Committee on Homelessness, pointed out that housing is a part of the
solution, and many groups and agencies have worked hard over the last couple of years to find
ways to make a difference. He stated this grant effort will be a partnership between the City of
Lodi and its community, the Homeless Committee, San Joaquin Housing and Urban
Development, and the Continuum of Care and that the only way to be considered for the grant is
to adopt the resolution before Council.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce, Mr. Cheshire confirmed the grant money originates
at the State level.
Council Member Chandler made a motion, second by Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce, to adopt
Resolution No. 2018-183 declaring a shelter crisis in Lodi according to the requirements of the
State of California Homeless Emergency Aid Program.
The City Council held a ROLL CALL vote (all voiced their votes).

Lodi (Old Fire Station 2) (CM)
This item was pulled from the Consent Calendar at the request of a member of the public.
Mike Lusk once again urged Council to pay back the loan on Fire Station 4 from the impact
mitigation fees.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce agreed that she too would like to see the loan paid back; however,
the construction of Fire Station 2 hinged upon selling the old fire station to pay off that debt.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce made a motion, second by Council Member Chandler, to adopt
Consent Calendar Items C-29 and C-32 as follows:
° Resolution No. 2018-181 accepting and attesting to veracity of 2017 Lodi Electric Utility Power

which will present a significant problem for downtown merchants, and added that Council's action
on Consent Calendar Item C-31 could provide some assistance in this regard. Further, Mr. Lusk
expressed support for Measure L, Lodi's sales tax measure, stating this measure keeps this tax
money local to pay for City services and that non-residents will also help pay the expenses to run
the City. He encouraged citizens to support the measure and realize this is help for the City, not a
deterrent.
