Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - August 1, 2018 Public Comment (4)couple of Police Officers and the Watch Commander and she installed cameras at the property, both of which have been extremely helpful. She thanked the City for the assistance. Ms. Lehr -Lee further requested an official City update on where it is on increasing the police force and ensuring adequate staffing levels, adding that a sales tax increase will not improve the situation if the City cannot hire officers. Jerome Bauman, homeless Veteran, repeated his request from the previous meeting that the City form a consortium made up of Council Members, citizens, business owners, and homeless individuals to work together on solutions to the homeless problem. Matt Blansett described his experience in recently becoming homeless in Lodi, stating he has no family or friends to turn to and that it is difficult to locate and connect with available resources. He stated he will continue to be the eyes, ears, and voice of the homeless and about life in the park and hopes others try to see all sides of the situation, not only their own. Mark Armstrong encouraged Mr. Blansett to connect with the Homeless Liaison Officer Richard Dunfee who could likely help him. Further, he submitted (filed) a number of questions from Take Back Lodi members relating to the homeless situation and the sales tax measure and stated the group continues to work with many City departments, as well as Officer Dunfee, on efforts to address the homelessness issue. Mike Lusk submitted (filed) an addendum as clarification to the claim he submitted at the last meeting relating to the water utility enterprise and the transfer of funds between the water and fire impact mitigation fee accounts. In addition, he expressed support for the sales tax measure based on the fact that both residents and non-residents will contribute toward services they utilize and that people can use their own discretion whether to buy high taxable items versus rate payers who have no say in paying increases on their utility bills. City Manager Schwabauer provided responses to comments regarding Police Department staffing and creation of a multi -faceted committee on homelessness and provided answers to questions from Take Back Lodi. Council Member Chandler further expanded on the tourism aspect of Lodi that will generate new retail tax dollars, and Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce encouraged the public to vote for Lodi for 2018 Best Choice Travelers award at www.10best.com.

Page 3A of 3 MF loans Subject: IMF loans From: Steve Schwabauer <sschwabauer@lodi.gov> Date: 7/23/2018 11:02 AM To: 'Mike Lusk' <mclusk@softcom.net> CC: Steve Schwabauer <sschwabauer@lodi.gov> Mike: I meant to respond to your concerns on the IMF loan from water IMF to Fire IMF but forgot in all the clamor last week. My apologies. The IMF legislation you cited, applies only to "interfund" loans, such as from an impact fee fund to the general fund, "interfund loans shall include the date on which the loan will be repaid and the rate of interest that the fund will receive on the loan". Government Code Section 66013. The loan in question is an "intrafund" loan because both receivable and the payable are in the same Impact Fee Fund and not subject to the requirement. Hope you had a great weekend and appreciate the opportunity to respond. Steve of 1 8/1/2018 9:18 AM
