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.
Amanda Lee, member of the public, encouraged citizens to visit her Facebook page to learn more
about water rights and the water protest process. Ms. Lee stated that she reported a potential
chemical spill on the Mokelumne River and questioned whether the City's Storm Water Spill and
Discharge Protocol was followed because none of the dispatchers she spoke with seemed aware
of the response plan. She encouraged greater training and development in this area so the City
can help the public when it reports spills. She stated she was told she should have contacted the
Office of Emergency Services (OES); however, she believes it is the City's responsibility to pass
that onto OES. Ms. Lee questioned whether the City has done anything to prevent further
contamination. She showed photographs (filed) of a potential meth lab along the river, homeless
encampments and the debris, and a homeless individual contaminating the river. She expressed
concern that this is making Lodi's drinking water unsafe, as well as Lodi Lake where people swim
and play in the water.
City Manager Schwabauer explained that this location is within three jurisdictions, so the agency
that answered Ms. Lee's 9-1-1 call depends on from where the call was made and whether it was
made from a landline or cell phone. He stated the Lodi Police Department is prepared to direct
callers in the right direction for a hazardous plan callout, but he could not guarantee if other
agencies were. He added that staff has meetings scheduled in the near future with State and
county representatives to come up with a solution for this area, including potential barriers and
coordination of efforts. With regard to a potential meth lab, Lodi Police Department responded but
found no evidence it was a meth lab.
Michelle Domingo, member of the public, stated she has witnessed drug dealings and illegal
dumping along the river during her 14 years in the neighborhood. Today, a trailer was parked
behind her home, which looks into her backyard and the sliding glass doors into her home, and
she is certain they will leave behind garbage and human waste. She stated it would be almost
impossible to sell her home because there are routinely campers on or near the property, which is
half in Lodi's jurisdiction and half in Caltrans. She stated she wants the mess cleaned up from
behind her house.

Leanne Hummel, member of the public, stated she too lives in this area and described how she is
routinely confronted by gang members who park their cars in front of her house and leave stolen
items in the neighborhood. She stressed that the neighborhood is unsafe and that these
individuals are typically gone by the time Lodi Police Department arrives on scene. She stated
nothing is being done with these individuals and the multi -jurisdictional issue is only an excuse.
Tiffany Anderson, member of the public, stated she was a certified pesticide applicator for the
State of California Mosquito District and spoke of her beliefs that joint power agencies are money
laundering and Ponzi schemes, suggesting the City sue the State of California for being a
sanctuary state. Ms. Anderson further commented that crime has increased in Lodi, the Lodi
Police Department drives brand new vehicles, Lodi's problem is not lack of money but how it is
being spent, there is a water pollution problem in Lodi, and she can smell chlorine in the water,
which she believes causes cancer.
Kerrie Kennedy, member of the public and downtown business owner, requested that the 90 -
minute parking spots be changed to three hours. She stated clients at her salon have to move
their cars because 90 minutes is not long enough to get one's hair done. She requested Council
consider making this change.
Kathy Thomas, member of the public and downtown business owner, also requested the 90 -
minute parking stalls be changed to three hours. Clients and staff members are routinely moving
cars during their three-hour hair appointments to avoid a parking ticket, and the new tea
establishment spent a significant amount of money on improvements that have benefitted the
area. Three-hour parking spaces would add value to those businesses. She requested Council
consider changing the 90 -minute parking spaces to three hours.
Mike Lynn, member of the public, spoke regarding Comcast's poor workmanship in his
neighborhood by leaving 85 black streak marks in front of his home and around the neighborhood
that it said would fade, as well as the sections of sidewalk that were replaced poorly with asphalt.
He stated he was disappointed in Comcast and its shoddy work.
Public Works Director Charlie Swimley stated staff met with Comcast last week and expressed
the City's expectation that there be improvement on the black markings. The City has not
accepted Comcast's concrete and pavement work under its encroachment permit, which will need
to be fixed before the project is finalized and approved. Further, if this issue is not rectified, the
City will hold up any additional encroachment permit requests from Comcast.
Kelly Benov, representing Love Lodi, announced that Love Lodi's sixth annual event is Saturday,
April 13, 2019, which will begin at Hutchins Street Square at 9 a.m. with a rally and conclude with
a picnic. She invited the Council and public to participate. The project list is posted on the
website, www.lovelodi.orq, and anyone interested in volunteering or submitting a potential project
was encouraged to contact the group.
Loren Stacy, representing the Lodi Church of God Seventh Day, stated that in the 1990s the
congregation purchased a plot of land near Tienda Drive and, in the early 2000s, built its church
facility. As part of the effort, the City improved the area on Kettleman Lane, and the church was
informed that when the property was developed in the future, it would need to repay the City
$92,000. Since that time, the church learned that interest increased the amount owed to
$148,000. He stated the church was not informed originally that there would be interest. This has
created a hardship for the congregation, and he requested assistance from the City on this
matter.
Mr. Schwabauer explained this is similar to a public improvement agreement in which it is the
obligation of the property owner to pay for the public improvements, not tax payers. The
agreement, which calls for interest, is recorded against the property. He stated he was unfamiliar
with this particular agreement, but he will look into and contact Mr. Stacy.

E. Comments by the City Council Members on Non -Agenda Items
Council Member Nakanishi stated that homelessness has been a major topic over the last several
years and suggested the City hold a Town Hall meeting to include Caltrans, San Joaquin County
Sherriff's Office, San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, and other related agencies to talk
about river rights. Further, he read an e-mail from Sheri Didreckson, owner of Sheri's Sonshine
Nutrition Center (filed), regarding her recent experience with the homeless.
Mayor Chandler agreed on the need for a Town Hall meeting and stated he will follow up on the
idea.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne thanked staff for nominating the Highway 99/Harney Lane
Interchange Reconstruction Project for the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) One
Voice trip in Washington D.C. As the City's SJCOG representative, he will represent the project in
D.C. He reported that he also serves on the Regional Innovation for Sustained Excellence
Committee, which advocates for technology, and announced that the Regional Transportation
District is submitting an application for the first autonomous bus in Stockton.
Council Member Mounce thanked her fellow colleagues for supporting a number of items on the
Consent Calendar that further invests money on the east side. She stated that, in addition to
infrastructure improvements on the east side, additional efforts are needed to encourage
landlords to invest in and improve their properties. Council Member Mounce reported on her
League of California Cities meeting in Grass Valley, at which the Governor of California attended.
He spoke to the League about issues of concern to cities, including ways to counter the effects of
legislation such as Propositions 47 and 57 and realignment that is increasing the number of
criminals and homeless on city streets. The Governor discussed the possibility of rolling back the
changes with those pieces of legislation, as well as his commitment to fund permanent housing
and supportive services in the budget, and she stated she will pursue this with him further when
he returns to speak to the League in April. She further reported the Governor also plans to make
changes in housing and land use authorities with regard to the powers cities have to control how
they grow by changing California Environmental Quality Act rules, capping impact fees, and
eliminating parking requirements. The League of California Cities will be surveying California
cities on this issue.
F. Comments by the City Manager on Non -Agenda Items
City Manager Schwabauer reminded the public that current laws relating to crimes and
homelessness come from the State and that the City Council cannot pass laws to change them.
The State prevents local enforcement agencies from holding criminals who commit certain
crimes, which puts them right back on the street. He strongly encouraged citizens to continue
their advocacy and contact their State legislators who have the power to change these laws.

Adopt Resolution of Intention Approving Amendment to Contract between Board of

Lodi Police Mid -Management and Police Officers Association of Lodi (Classic Members)
(CM)
Human Resources Manager Adele Post provided a presentation regarding the contract between
the City of Lodi and the Board of Administration of California Public Employees' Retirement
System (Cal -PERS). She stated the recommended action implements the approved contract
changes that will pass along some of the pension costs to employees by approving a cost-sharing
agreement with Cal -PERS, which was agreed upon with bargaining groups. This will affect
Miscellaneous and Safety groups, as well as unrepresented employees, with groups picking up
either 2 percent or 3 percent of the employer's share of the normal cost of Cal -PERS. To
implement the change, Council must adopt a resolution of intention and introduce the ordinance,
which will come back to Council for second reading on April 17, 2019, with the change being
effective in May. This reduces the annual payroll for Safety by $282,500 and $485,500 for
Miscellaneous. She thanked and recognized employees for their support and investment in the
City's fiscal stability.
Council Member Mounce made a motion, second by Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne, to adopt
Resolution No. 2019-35 declaring intention to approve Amendment to contract between Board of
Administration of California Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) and City of Lodi and
introduce Ordinance No. 1961 amending contract between PERS and City of Lodi with regard to
providing Government Code Section 20516 (employees sharing additional cost) of 3 percent for
Local Miscellaneous members in unrepresented Confidential Mid -Management Group,
unrepresented Confidential General Services Group, unrepresented Executive Management
Group, unrepresented Council Appointees Group, Lodi City Mid -Management, AFSCME
Maintenance and Operators Unit Local 146, Lodi Police Dispatchers Group; 2 percent for Local
Miscellaneous members in AFSCME General Services Unit Local 146; 3 percent for Local Fire
members in Lodi Professional Firefighters and Lodi Fire Mid -Management; and 3 percent for
Local Police members in Lodi Police Mid -Management and Police Officers Association of Lodi

NOTE: The following items were discussed and acted upon out of order.
H-3 Consider Adopting Resolution to Issue Letter of Intent to Support Construction of World of
Wonders Science Museum Expansion (CM)
City Manager Schwabauer provided a presentation regarding the request from World of Wonders
(WOW) Science Museum for the City to issue a Letter of Intent to support the construction of the
WOW expansion. Specific topics of discussion included WOW's request, including City support
to abandon the street right-of-way on Sacramento Street between Elm Street and Pine Street, to
use approximately $300,000 in remaining solar surcharge funds to offset the cost of a solar
installation on the new building, to utilize public benefits funds designed for "demonstration
projects" within the expansion, to install an Electric Utility funded solar project on the roof of the
Downtown Parking Garage, and to help establish a place for buses to park for visitor access; and
staffs support, concern, caveat, and/or alternate solution on the requests.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Schwabauer stated that staff is unsure at this time
whether the street/right-of-way abandonment will require Federal Transit Authority approval since
the entrances and exits are not impacted, but staff is looking into it.
Council Member Johnson raised questions regarding the abandonment/right-of-way and whether
it would be considered a gift of public funds and whether other groups were required to purchase
land while others only had to abandon the street, to which Public Works Director Charlie Swimley
7
stated the City vacated the Saint Anne's plaza and the church purchased the land, but he was
uncertain of the details on the street that was closed at the end of the Vanderlans factory years
ago. He stated he will verify those details.
Council Member Mounce asked Mr. Swimley to also research the abandoned street at the end of
Ackerman Drive, stating she thought Cottage Bakery purchased the property.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne pointed out that the solar surcharge program was a percentage -
based program and he was concerned about allocating all of the remaining funds to one project
because it would set a precedent. Mr. Schwabauer stated that the solar surcharge program is
over and the remaining money is the remnants of the program, therefore, it would not set a
precedent.
Sally Snyde with the WOW museum stated it has been 10 years since the WOW museum doors
opened and presented statistics on numbers of people served and the need to expand. She
presented a video regarding the proposed WOW museum expansion.
John Della Monica with the WOW museum stated supporters have been working on this project
for four years, but this is step one in the process to ensure the City and community are behind the
project. WOW museum representatives have met with angel donors and are working on
fundraising efforts both locally and regionally; however, the donors are looking for a commitment
from the City that it supports the expansion. He acknowledged that there are challenges
associated with some of the requests and he appreciated staffs efforts to be creative in making
this work. The Letter of Intent will show donors that the City supports this effort, but it does not
obligate the City in any way at this time. He requested Council support on the Letter of Intent.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne, Mr. Della Monica stated that WOW intends to
maintain the abandoned area and privately secure that vicinity in the evenings in an effort to
create something attractive for the community while not allowing it to become a nuisance.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne stated he is confident any hurdles will be overcome on these issues
and supports WOW's request.
Council Member Nakanishi also expressed his support, stating he is impressed with what WOW
has accomplished.
Council Member Mounce stated she was not opposed to any of the requests, but she wants to
ensure the abandonment does not result in a gift of public funds.
Council Member Johnson stated he supports the request and encouraged WOW to include
Amtrak in its vision to provide transportation to the museum while reaching some of the rural
counties.
Mr. Della Monica stated that Amtrak is an official partner of WOW and is working on the concept
of offsetting the expense of a school bus to get children to the museum.
Mayor Chandler also expressed support for the request.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne made a motion, second by Council Member Johnson, to adopt
Resolution No. 2019-36 authorizing City Manager to issue Letter of Intent to support construction
of World of Wonders Science Museum expansion.

RECESS
At 9:00 p.m., Mayor Chandler called for a recess, and the City Council meeting reconvened at
9:09 p.m.
H-2 Appoint Members to the Measure L Citizens' Oversight Committee (CM)
City Manager Schwabauer summarized the application packet for the Measure L Citizens'
Oversight Committee, stating that only one district did not have any applications. Council was
requested to make appointments to the Committee.
Council Member Johnson reminded that previous Council action allowed for a supermajority vote
to overrule a nomination and he suggested this be reconsidered on the basis that no other
committee has a supermajority requirement, only a simple majority.
In response to Mayor Chandler, City Attorney Magdich stated Council's decision to use a
supermajority to oppose a Council Member's nomination was made by a motion/action of Council
when it decided the process on selecting nominees from various districts for this committee; it is
not set out in the ordinance. Council could, if it so desired, reconsider the matter and change that
decision with a motion/action.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne stated he was amenable to Council Member Johnson's suggestion
of a simple majority and with the process of each Council Member selecting a nominee from his
district, with the exception of Council Member Mounce who can select from any district since she
has no nominees from District 4. He stated this should not be an overcomplicated process.
Mayor Chandler questioned if the nominations should be voted on individually or as a slate and
whether or not it should be based on simple majority or supermajority.
Council Member Mounce suggested the vote be taken on the slate of nominees. With regard to
the supermajority, she originally suggested the concept in order to have some protection for
whomever she nominates because her nominees have often failed on a 2-3 vote.
Each Council Member individually nominated his or her recommended appointee and provided
details supporting their nominee.
Council Member Nakanishi made a motion, second by Mayor Chandler, to approve nominee
recommended by Council Member Nakanishi (representing District 1), thereby appointing
Gary Woehl to the Measure L Citizens' Oversight Committee.
