This item was pulled from the Consent Calendar at the request of Council Member Mounce for
discussion.
Council Member Mounce stated that she believes the public comments at the previous Council
Meeting demonstrated that Lodi is too small to support a navigation center and that pushback
from the public that Council would receive if the Council attempted to place a navigation center in
Lodi would prohibit any sitting member of the Council from seeking reelection. Council Member
Mounce stated that she is not in support of item C-6.
Mayor Kuehne stated that based on the current situation with the Governor placing the onus on
cities to manage the homeless population within their jurisdictions, he believes it behooves the
City to move forward with some plan. Mayor Kuehne explained that the City does not know what
the end project will look like at this time, but it is beneficial for the City to try to manage the
homeless population and protect the citizens.
Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi stated that he supports item C-6 because trying to secure grant
funding is a good idea for the City and that at the time the grant is awarded, the Council can
determine whether or not to support any associated project. Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi noted
that securing grants is the only way the City can fund projects that address homelessness.
Council Member Chandler stated that if there were to be a navigation center in Lodi, the City
would need to do its due diligence to get public input and feedback from any property owners
near the yet-to-be-determined location.

Council Member Mounce stated her displeasure about the statement about the language used at
the protests that was released by the City and said that she was under the impression that the
City was not going to take sides but rather condemn all bad language that was used. Council
Member Mounce said that the citizens of Lodi were justified in being concerned about the threats
posted on social media and she believes the citizens were insulted by the City's news release.
City Manager Schwabauer stated that he does not believe the citizens were offended by the
City's news release. He said that when the public states they are defending the City, the City has
a obligation to address the behavior of the public. City Manager Schwabauer reiterated that
everyone has an obligation to condemn any language that is roundly rejected by our society if
that language is used in defense of the City.
Mayor Kuehne agreed and noted his statement addressed anyone in attendance who was using
derogatory language.
Council Member Mounce stated that she did not hear the language referenced by City Manager
Schwabauer on any of the videos of the protest she viewed and does not condone the use of
such language. She said that she would not criticize the citizens of Lodi when she heard/read
derogatory language used by those organizing the protest.
Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi said that he was told the intent of the news release was not to
take sides but rather cool heads and remind people to consider the other side. He said he
believes the job of the City Council is to bring peace and noted the main concern was to not have
the protest evolve into a riot and for people to get hurt, which the protest did not. Mayor Pro
Tempore Nakanishi spoke about the cost incurred by the City as a result of protests. He
reiterated he did not agree with taking sides.
Council Member Mounce stated that she knows racism exists and that it exists in Lodi. She said
that she supports the National League of Cities' Race, Equity, and Leadership (REAL) program,
which assists groups such as the City of Lodi in bringing the community together.
Council Member Chandler stated that sometimes people's comments regarding events such as
the protests are stated as fact when they are actually providing opinion. He said that the
statement that Lodi Police Department needed any assistance other than that secured through
official channels is an opinion and not a fact. Council Member Chandler said that he believes the
police did a fabulous job.
City Attorney Magdich responded to questions asked by Mayor Kuehne regarding threats made
against the City on social media.
Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi asked how people could access the Library.
City Manager Schwabauer explained that the Library is open for curbside service, but the building
is not open to the public at this time.
Council Member Mounce spoke about a citizen she spoke with who has a problem with trash in a
alleyway behind their home. She thanked staff for their quick response when she contacted them
about the issue.
