MEETING DATE: March 6,. 1991
PREPARED BY: Joanne Narloch, Personnel Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt attached resolutions to approve establishing new
classifications, job specifications, and salaries for
Deputy City Clerk, Personnel Technician, Police Records
Clerk, and Purchasing Assistant.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In August of 1990 a classification study authorized by
the City Council was conducted of the Administrative
Clerk job series by Carl Seymour of the Human Resource
Compensation and Management consulting firm_ As a result
of this study, several changes were recommended by Mr. Seymour. The city and union
agreed to recommend these results. These recommendations included establishing the
following new classifications: Deputy City Clerk, Personnel Technician, Police
Records Clerk and Purchasing Assistant.
Although the salaries for these positions are subject to negotiation it was
determined that it was in the best interest of the City and the employees to
recommend an adjustment pending the negotiation process in June.
Based on a review of our comparable cities, it is recommended that the following
salary ranges be established:
Deputy City Clerk
A B C D E
1530.73 1607.25 1687.62 1771.99 1860.61

CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Water Conservation Program
MEETING DATE: March 6, 1991
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council discuss and take the appropriate action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department was asked to prepare a report of
our current and proposed water conservation efforts. The
attached document entitled "Overview of Lodi's Water
Conservation Program" discusses in detail what our present
program is and what we are proposing to do differently this year. It also includes
specific areas where we are asking for Council direction or Council approval. These
Council action items are recapped below.
Attached as Appendix A is a handout used by our Water Conservation Officers which
includes Lodi's Water Conservation Ordinance and a recap of the ordinance
requirements, together with some suggestions for efficient water use. This Water
Conservation Ordinance was adopted by the City Council in 1977 and has not had a
major update since that time. We will be bringing back to the City Council
modifications to this ordinance based on any actions the Council might take on this
agenda item, together with other changes we've been evaluating `for some time, i.e.,
change in fine structure, adding appeals section, water use restrictions during
different types of water system emergencies.
Listed below, in the same order they appear in the attached document, are the items
we're asking the City Council to take action on.
1. Direct staff to study an increasing block rate as part of any future rate
studies.
2. Establish hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in which no landscape watering is
permitted. This would be effective May I and continue through September 30.
3. Eliminate Sunday as a landscape watering day.
4. Require users with large irrigated areas (i.e., festival grounds, golf range,
Caltrans, Lodi Unified School District, and the City of Lodi) to submit an
irrigation plan by May 1, 1991 to reduce water consumption by at least 25%.
5. Direct staff to prepare a plan for metering all new residential customers.

OVERVIEW OF LODI'S
WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM
(1991 Season)
Lodi's current Water Conservation Ordinance, attached as Appendix A, has been in effect
since 1977. The Public Works Department is currently drafting a number of revisions to the
ordinance. Any applicable policy changes coming from the review of this document will be
incorporated into the ordinance revision. All revisions to the Water Conservation Ordinance
will be presented to Council at a later date.
The San Joaquin County Advisory Water Commission is establishing a Water Conservation
Plan and will be requesting all communities in the county to adopt similar restrictions and
regulations. The most recent draft of this plan is attached as Appendix B. Implementing this
plan would help eliminate some of the confusion created by having varying conservation
regulations throughout the county.
Shown below rim bold italics) are each of the 16 sections in the draft plan. Following each
recommendation is a discussion of Lodi's current or proposed programs. Lodi's current
programs and activities are printed in regular type; new activities being proposed for this year
are underlined: and proposed new activities needing City Council action are double
underlined,
SANJOAQUIN COUNTY
URBAN WATER CONSERVATION FLAN
DRAFT NO. 2
February 6, 1991
In order for the people of San Joaquin County to maximize the efficient beneficial use
of water, the following recommendations and prohibitions are urged to be practiced by
all citizens and adopted by all communities as pan of all urban water conservation
ordinances or poliides:
1. DevelV and implement a water conservation education program. The
program should include public education, support of Statewide programs,
support of classroom educational programs and should continue beyond the
current critical waiv- period.
The City of Lodi already has in place one of the most comprehensive water conservation
education programs in the entire San Joaquin Valley. Lodi's program has been a model for
other communities in starting their program.
Our education program for both the general public and in schools has been factor in keeping
Lodi's per capita water use at a low level for an unmetered residential community.
Li-ged below is a more detailed list of Lodi's ongoing and planned education activities:
1
iAl"
PUBLIC EDUCATION
The conservation patrol is the most vital part of our public education program. While on
patrol there is first hand contact with the public. The primary functions of the patrol are to
educate, remind the citizens of our water conservation ordinance, point out problems, and
share with citizens ways which they can help conserve water. Only as a last resort are fines
imposed.
The City will also:
Participate in the Annual Lodi Grape and Wine Festival with an informational booth in
September. This will be our sixth year.
Participate in the Conservation Fair with an informational booth in October. This will be the
fourth year we've participated. This is the first year we have a LcpEff&njabve on the
Conservation Fair Board.
Participate in Crime Prevention Fair in May with a informational booth. This will be the
second year we've participated.
Participate in Earth Day activities. This will be the second year participated.
Give presentations to civic groups, clubs and other agencies. The Water/Wastewater
Superintendent, Assistant Water/Wastewater Superintendent, and Water Conservation Officers
will continue to give these presentations.
Promote water conservation in a joint effort with the Lodi News Sentinel to produce a weekly
article called 'Water Wise" and also promote conservation on radio and Lodi cable TV
Provide periodic watering day reminders on Utility Bills.
Dever a water conserving demonstration/education garden in Lodi (XcriscaM). The new
City well I IR on Turner Road is one of the ==sed sites.
Continue the restaurant table -tent program for serving water on request only. This program
includes a letter of thanks and encouragement for continuing participation to restaurant
managers signed by the Mayor. This year we will also provide the management with a
"Checklist of Water Conservation Ideas for Restaurants".
Send an informational lever to apartment owners/managers signed by the Mayor outlining the
water conservation program and asking for their support. This is the third year we will send
the letter.
��ad an inf ation?i letter t~o drive Lhn,/fast food restaL�*ants and

Make water conservation kits available to those citizens wanting
them.
CLASSROOM EDUCATION
The classroom education program makes presentations on Water Science, Water Awareness
and Water Conservation to both public and private schools in the City of Lodi. Additionally
the program will:
Train a Decytmm+ Water Conservation Officer to work as a backup lecturer for the school
prop=
Distribute Water Conservation/Don't Do Drugs bookmarks to students in participating
classrooms. Additionally we distribute "Our Water" flyer which specifically deals with
Lodi's water. A copy of this flyer is attached as appendix C.
Distribute customized water conservation yardsticks to teachers in participating classrooms.
Participate in "Water Precious Water" workshop at the University of the Pacific. This
workshop is a bi-annual water science educational workshop for San Joaquin County area
teachers. The City supports this workshop with a donation in addition to providing speakers.
Continue to promote a poster contest in schools where entries are then displayed at local
businesses and at City Hall. These posters depict water conservation and will be put on
display during Water Awareness Month (May).
WATER AWARENESS MONTH
The City Council will be asked to adopt a Proclamation of Water Awareness Month, May 1
through May 31,
The City, to actively promote "Water Awareness Month", will:
Promote Water Awareness Month with City employees using pins and/or shirts with stnQan,
and with the public using news articles and ads.
Sponsor a public information booth at the Crime Prevention Fair in May.
Run water conservation messages on the radio and on cable TV.
Continue to make monetary contribution to California Department of Water Resources for
promotion of state wide Water Awareness Month in May 1991.

2. Develop water pricing rate structures to produce economic incentives for
water conservation for both normal and drought conditions.
In the past a declining block rate schedule was used in Lodi which provided a discount for
the higher water user.
In 1989 Lodi changed to a flat block rate. Under the flat block rate everyone pays $0.27 per
I00 ft (36c per 1000 gallons) no matter how much they use,
3. Restrict landscape watering to the locally established hours of the day to
achieve water use maximum efficiency.
In the 1977 drought Lodi had a ban on landscape watering between the hours of lam and
7pm. This was discontinued one year after the end of that drought.
It is r MMenriarl that the C-[1=il diminate Sunday m a land_sc_'ape watCring day_ This will
provide everyone with three watering days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday for odd
numbered street addresses and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for even numbered street
addresses. When four days were allowed, many felt they should or must water all four days.
Landscapers agree that two to three waterings per week is sufficient during the hottest parts
of the year.
4. Require all institutiotad water users with high ratios of irrigated areas, i.e.
schools, universities, parks, golf courses, cemeteries, etc., to submit water
conservation plans to local government authority for irrigation practices that
minimize water use.
It is =Wgaded that & Council rern!ire uc.*s with large irrigated Ureas (i.e.. Festival
Grounds Wf Ranee Cat Trans LUSD and the City of Lodi) to submit an irrigation elan by
May 1. 1991 to reducQ water con_sumntion by at least 2.596. The City's Parks and Recreation
Department has recently submitted a draft pian which will reduce their water consumption by
30%.
6. Require new water services be metered.
Since 1976 all new industrial/commercial customers have been metered.
It is recommended that the Council di_W staff to orenare a plan for metering all new
residential customers. This conforms with Goal B, Policy 2, in the City's draft General Plan
update.
Z Develop a plan to retrofit all existing non -metered water uses.
A program to retrofit commercial/industrial has been on going since 1977. In 1988 City
Council approved a plan to step up the program and the City presently has approximately 490
commercial/industrial meters installed.
It is recom_____W that Council di=rect staff_ to study a residential retrofit perm. This study
would include overall feasibility, costs, approach, manpower needs, time schedule, priority,
financial responsibility for meter/installation and other areas which need to be resolved before
any decision can be made. This conforms with Goal B, Policy 3, in the City's draft General
Plan update.
& Require that all new construction include toilets that use not more than 1.6
gallons per flush by January 1, 1992-
9. Establish a program to encourage the replacement of existing toilets with
toilets that use not more than 1.6 gallons perflush.
10. Establish a system -wide water distribution system audit, leak detection and
repair program.
A full water audit cannot be performed without having all water users metered.

minutes before turning the water back on for 10 minutes; 10 minutes on, 20 minutes off, 10
minutes on. This will increase the amount of water irrigating the lawn and decrease the amount of
water running off into the gutter.

CITY OF LODI
WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM
Why Is Water Important?
Water is necessary for life. We all expect water to come out of the
faucet when we tum on the tap. But do you know where the water
comes from or how It gets to you?
Water is one of the most important resources we use in Lodi, but
you may not realize what a complex and costly process water
distribution Is.
100% Groundwater
The City has 20 wells, and each well can deliver 1,000 to 2,400
gallons per minute. This water is distributed through 180 miles of
underground water mains. Total capacity is approximately 45
million gallons per day.
i
You're paying For It
Producing and delivering water to the tutu-, is of Lodi is an expen-
sive business. In 1980, this service will --a the City of Lodi $2.7
mlllktn..The expense is paid through a fee on your city utility bill.
These fees pay for drilling new wells, Installing new water pipes,
`=.repairing and replacing customers' water service lines, installing
"and maintaining fire hydrants, laboratory testing of water, purchas-
Ing electricity to run the water well pumps, paying salaries for
Water Division employees and treatment at well sites.
Our Future Water Supply
Wise use of Lodi's groundwater resource should provide enough
dean, wholesome water for Lodi citizens well into the 21st century.
Winter rains and the Mokelumne River help replenish our ground-
water. but aided by the drought, groundwater levels under Lodi
have dropped 15 feet from 1986 to 1990. Conservation and reduc-
Ing waste is important, whether a drought year or not. The City of
Lodi's Water Conservation Program plays a major role.
For example, In 1977, each person in Lodi used an average 374
gallons every day. Our population was about 32,000 and City wells
produced about 4.4 billion gallons that wear. In 1989 each person
used 260 gallons per day. We had a population of 50,000 and City
wells produced about 4.8 billion gallons that year.
In 1977, the City Council passed the water conservation ordinance,
and the Water Conservation Program began. Since then, the Corr,
serration Officers have offered tips on saving water, presented
conservation education to school children and civic groups, and
patrolled the City to stop water waste.
Tips and Facts
At the time of year when many of us are sprinkling to keep our
lawns green, the water supply system is experiencing its greatest
demands.
Summer activities, such as lawn and garden watering, cause us to
use nearly twice the amount of water that we use during the winter.
Handy Tips To Conserve Water During Summer Months:
Keep the grass about two inches high. This shades the root
system and holds soil moisture better than closely clipped
lawns.
Brown spots on the lawn can be caused by many factors —
heavy watering alone will not make them green.
Hand -water spots that dry out earlier than the rest of the lawn.
Avoid over -watering. It can leach nitrogen from the root zone,
increasing the need for expensive fertilizers.
Water during the cool, early morning hours when evaporation
is minimal. Don't water on windy days.
Plan landscaping and replant with drought resistant plants
such as native California plants.
Saving Through The Sewers
Usable water is reclaimed from wastewater (what most people call
sewage) at Lodi's White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility on
Thornton Road near 1-5.
Domestic (household) and industrial wastewater is collected in a
170 -mile system of sewer mains and delivered by gravity to the
White Slough facility. The facility is on 1,040 acres of City property,
and reclaims 2.5 billion gallons of water a year. Much of this water
is used to irrigate crops of animal feed.

What's Bugging You?
By Don Pratt
Invest a little water
in your lawn: It pays
GL Please don't shoot the piano player; he's .
doing the best he ran," was a sign found
on the walls of many long -ago saloons.
I'd like to bring that up to date a bit: "Please don't
shoot your lawn; it's doing a lot more than you
think."
With the shortage of water, there has been a
tendency to think we can solve the problem by
getting rid_ of lawns and landscaping. Outdoor
landscaping accounts for only 4 percent of the total
water usage. Plow -under every lawn, shrub and tree
in town, and you will save 4 percent of the water,
but would you want ip live under those conditions?
Without a lawn and the.othet green plants in the
I yard, you can expect a noticeable increase in heat,
` dust, noise, erosion and energy consumption. -You
if can expect a significant decrease in the oxygen you
breathe and the value of your home (about S3,100
on a 570,000 home).
I First, the matter of heat. The temperature of a
living grass area will be an average of 25 degrees
cooler than bare dirt or dead grass. The front lawn
E of an average city lot provides the cooling of a l-
ion air conditioner, only you don't need to plug it
in. For maximum cooling effect, mow your lawn
k 21/2 to 3 inches high. Stop for a minute and con-
sider what your Jr conditioning costs were last
vear and then what they would be this year without
that cooling grass. Ask your electric company if it
can handle an increase of 25 percent in peak
demand.
{ Now, let's talk about dust. Your lawn acts as a
large, fuzzy filter, trapping dust particles and
returning, them back into the ground. Without
lawns, we would lose this "filtering" effect. In fact,
more dust would be created. The incidence of
health problems associated with blowing dust and
spores would increase.
If you look forward to breathing on a regular
basis, then you certainly appreciate the oxygen that
grass provides. The grass blades in the average

Without lawns, there would be no "outdoor"
air conditioning.
front lawn provide enough oxygen for a family of
four. At the same time, that lawn is absorbing .
hundreds of pounds of airborne pollutants, such as
sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, that cause acid
rain and are adding to the greenhouse effect. Lawns
get rid of them. -
There is no need to eliminate lawns. What we do
need are some sensible watering practices. No lawn
in this area needs water more than twice a week to
stay green and healthy. If water gets really short,
lawn grass can survive (but not look so great) with
watering once a week or every 10 days.
When you water, apply at least I inch (set out
pie pans to check) and do it early in the day.
Without sunlight, plants cannot use water. Water
applied between 8 p.m. and midnight is wasted.
There arc many other things you can do to
reduce water consumption in your garden. I'll
write about them in upcoming columns.
