Joaquin Counties, as long as social distancing and face covering protocols are observed.
Council Member Mounce stated that she is intrigued by Mr. Lusk’s comments, specifically about the
affordable housing fund; she has advocated for developers being required to rehab homes on the
Eastside when putting in new developments; clean, affordable housing is not available in Lodi for all
income levels; if developers will not provide affordable housing, then the City needs to charge them for
it.

done in the past and needs to continue. He asked that staff look into incorporating this into the building
fee structure or set aside funding.

clean up of illegal RVs had a major sweep in the last couple months and there are now only three or
four RVs parked on the streets, compared to the original 16.

calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the questions of levying a special tax within the

Public Works Director Charlie Swimley provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding Communities
Facilities District Annexation No. 10. Specific topics of discussion included vicinity map and
recommended action. Mr. Swimley clarified that, contrary to a recent newspaper article, this is not an
annexation of property into the City. This property is already within the City, and the public hearing is to
consider the annexation of property into the Community Facilities District and that the annexation is a
requirement of the Development Map.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Swimley stated that full build-out of the project would take
five to ten years, depending on economic cycles.
Mayor Kuehne opened the public hearing for public comment.
Comments were received via email from the following nine members of the public opposing the
annexation. All comments were read into the record and filed.

Deputy City Manager Keys noted that this item is not annexing property into the City, rather it is
annexing property into the Community Facilities District (CFD); if the property is not annexed into the
CFD, it cannot generate funds and the burden of providing the services is put on the City; this is a tax-
related question for the properties in question.
In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Swimley stated the annexation occurred in 2002.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi, Mr. Swimley stated that if Council did not approve the
annexation, the development would not meet the conditions of the Development Agreement.
In response to Council Member Mounce, City Attorney Magdich stated that without Council's approval,
the property would not be included in the CFD and revenue would not be received to fund public
improvements.
Council Member Mounce stated she would support the item because the CFD would keep the area well
maintained.
There being no further public comments, Mayor Kuehne closed the public hearing.
