Community partners are working to breathe new life into the landmark, reinforcing its role as a living testament to Lodi’s civic and firefighting heritage.
LODI LIONS CLUB:
The Lodi Lions Club is part of Lions International, a world-wide service club dedicated to promoting community service. The local organization has been active in Lodi since 1940. The Lodi Lions Club (Lions) adopted Emerson Park and Legion Park in the 1990s and has financially supported and facilitated a number of improvements at both facilities including a major reconstruction in 1989-1990 and has financially supported and facilitated a number of improvements at both facilities.
Most recently, the Lions have provided to the Lodi Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department funding, labor and support for Emerson Park improvements.

Dear Council member Hothi,
On behalf of the Tokay Wrestling Booster Club, I would like to extend our gratitude for your ongoing support of youth athletics and community programs in Lodi. We are reaching out to request your partnership and support for the Tokay High School Wrestling Team as we prepare for another exciting and competitive season.
The Tokay Tigers Wrestling Program has built a proud legacy over the years — known for its winning tradition, multiple League Championships, and commitment to developing student-athletes of character, discipline, and determination. Each season, our wrestlers dedicate countless hours to training and competition, representing our school and community with pride.
This year, we are seeking donations to help cover essential expenses related to athlete meals, lodging, and travel for tournaments throughout the season. As costs continue to rise, these funds are critical to ensuring that every wrestler — regardless of financial situation — has the opportunity to compete and experience the full benefit of the program.
Your contribution will directly impact our student-athletes, allowing us to continue building on Tokay’s tradition of excellence while shaping the next generation of leaders both on and off the mat.
Thank you for your consideration and for all you do to support youth in our community. We would be honored to have you join us at one of our upcoming matches to see firsthand the heart and dedication of these young athletes.
With gratitude,
Wrestling Booster Club of Tokay High

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Reviewing and Maintaining the Current Lodi Electric Utility Reserve Policy (EU) MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Melissa Price, Assistant Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution reviewing and maintaining the current Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) Reserve Policy.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The LEU Reserve Policy requires an assessment of the targets identified with a report to the City Council every three years. The last review was completed November 2022.
From 2011, the formula for establishing the LEU Reserve Policy remained unchanged until 2022 when City Council authorized removal of the Capital Reserve component and instead authorized LEU staff to purchase a spare substation transformer to ensure equipment is available and on hand should a catastrophic failure occur.
This change was implemented to mitigate risk associated with potential supply chain challenges, procurement lead times and material price escalation.
November 2025 marks the three-year deadline to review the existing LEU Reserve Policy. The current Reserve Policy includes both an operating days cash requirement as well as a General Operating Reserve requirement identified by the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) as part of the annual power supply budget planning process. This component addresses recommended reserve funds specific to LEU’s generation entitlement shares in various power plants, including self-insured retention and insurance deductibles and includes recommendations related to replacement power purchase costs associated with dry water year conditions and reduced hydroelectric generation.
While the individual components and formula are approved by City Council, the actual dollar amounts are reviewed and approved each year by the Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) in accordance with the approved annual budget. The approved formula for those targets as well as the specific target for Fiscal Year 2025/26 are as follows:
Fund Designation Basis FY 2025/26
Operating Reserve 90 days cash on hand $ 22,906,600
NCPA General Operating Reserve Identified by NCPA $ 6,813,000 Total Target $ 29,719,600
LEU currently has total cash reserves of approximately $41 million and is meeting 138 percent of the current City of Lodi Printed on 11/25/2025Page 1 of 2

26 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
LEU currently has total cash reserves of approximately $41 million and is meeting 138 percent of the current reserve policy target. LEU financial reserves are strong and stable and no projected base rate increases are anticipated until 2030 based on current assumptions. Rating agencies, including S&P and Moody’s,have both completed reviews of LEU’sfinancial position within the past year and have issued comparable ratings of A and A2 respectively, with stable outlooks - ratings that fall at upper medium investment grade levels which positions LEU well for its future anticipated borrowing associated with the 230 kV Project.
The ROC received a report on the LEU Reserve Policy at its November 4, 2025 meeting and recommended that the formula for calculating the reserve target be maintained as represented above.
STRATEGIC VISION:
3A. Fiscal Health: Promote City's transparency & fiscal fluency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding needed to meet the LEU Reserve Policy is evaluated each year as part of LEU’sannual review and update of its financial forecast included as part of the annual budget process.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Not Applicable.

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute Additional Change Orders to 2025-27 Block Wall Repair Program ($42,625), and Appropriating Funds ($36,000) (PW) MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing Interim City Manager to execute additional change orders to 2025-27 Block Wall Repair Program in an amount not-to-exceed $42,625, and appropriating funds in the amount of $36,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
City block walls are occasionally damaged or destroyed by vehicle accidents or intentional vandalism. In 2014, staff implemented the Fence Repair Program in lieu of hiring a contractor on a case-by-case basis to avoid time delays and to minimize City liability. This project allows the City to retain a contractor on an “as- needed” basis to quickly respond to any necessary block wall repairs during Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27.
On April 16, 2025, Council approved specifications for this project and adopted Resolution 2025-052 authorizing the City Manager to award contract to lowest responsive bidder and execute change orders for a combined amount not-to-exceed $50,000. The bid opening was held on May 14, 2025. The City received one bid from John Wait Masonry, Inc. of Lodi for $42,625.00. The authorized change order authority was calculated to be $7,375.00. The Notice to Proceed was executed on July 15, 2025. The adopted budgeted amount of $25,000 was added to the contract for FY2025/26.
Since that time, the following six (6) work orders have been issued or are pending due to unforeseen accidents:
LOCATION AMOUNT
Lower Sacramento Road (5056 Grand Fir Dr) $4,190.00
Mills Av. & Century Blvd. (1981 Century Blvd) $6,575.00 Yorktown Dr. (1973 Century Blvd) $6,400.00
Hutchins Street (422 W. Century Blvd/1605 Sutter Ln) $6,040.00 Rosegate Roundabout $9,960.00
Rosegate Roundabout $11,965.00
TOTAL $45,130.00
In order to provide for quick repair of block wall damages through the end of FY 2025/26, staff recommends adding funds in the amount of $15,870 beyond the current work order totals. Pending Council approval, the City Manager shall be authorized to execute change orders for a total amount not to exceed $50,000 ($42,625 City of Lodi Printed on 11/25/2025Page 1 of 2

51 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
City Manager shall be authorized to execute change orders for a total amount not to exceed $50,000 ($42,625 + $7,350).
STRATEGIC VISION:
5C. Infrastructure: Address deferred maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on total maintenance cost but will reduce the City’sliability associated with the damaged walls by reducing repair response times. This project does not impact the General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget:
Measure K (30399000.77020) $25,000.00
Requested Allocation:
Measure K (30399000.77020) $36,000.00

AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Bickford Ventures Inc., dba Division 01 Construction Management Services of Lodi, for Construction Management Services for the City of Lodi Animal Shelter Project ($75,000) (PW) MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Bickford Ventures Inc., dba Division 01 Construction Management Services of Lodi, for Construction Management Services for the City of Lodi Animal Shelter Project in the amount of $75,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 5, 2024, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Bickford Ventures Inc. for construction management and inspection services for the City of Lodi Animal Services Facility in the amount of $227,226. The scope of work includes project management services, quality assurance testing, special inspection and related laboratory services related to the project.
Throughout the course of the Animal Services Facility project, various unforeseen circumstances have impacted construction timelines and caused the project to extend further out than the original scope of work identified. There have also been additional material testing services that have been required due to those unforeseen circumstances. As a result of these changes in project scope, Bickford Ventures has exhausted the original budget allocated for professional services, with work still to be completed on the project. Amending the existing Professional Services Agreement would allow Bickford Ventures to continue providing the necessary professional services, testing, and laboratory services necessary to complete the project.
STRATEGIC VISION:
5C. Infrastructure: Address deferred maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amendment No. 1 will add an additional $75,000 to the existing amount of $227,126, for a total amount of $302,126, which is still below the project’s contingency amount.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Funding was included in the project contingency.

AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Two 35-Foot Compressed Natural Gas, Low-Floor Buses from Gillig, LLC, of Livermore (Not-to-Exceed $1,750,000), Utilizing Washington State Department of Enterprise Services Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (Master Contract No. 06719), Appropriating Additional funds ($400,000) and Authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute All Necessary Documents (PW) MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of two 35-foot compressed natural gas, low-floor buses from Gillig, LLC, of Livermore, in an amount not-to-exceed $1,750,000, utilizing Washington State Department of Enterprise Services Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (Master Contract No. 06719), appropriating additional funds in the amount of $400,000, and authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Lodi currently operates and maintains 24 transit vehicles to provide the GrapeLine fixed route service, VineLine Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)/Paratransit service, and the general public Dial-A-Ride service. Five (5) of the vehicles in the fleet are 26-foot 2018 Glaval Titan II cutaway buses, which in 2025 are approaching the end of their useful life (8 years), according to Federal Transit Administration vehicle useful life schedules and certifications. As the vehicles being replaced are reaching their end of life, they are frequently breaking down which results in service disruptions, costly repairs, and increased maintenance staff time.
In anticipation of this vehicle replacement timeline, the City submitted a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant application to apply $1,147,500 in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 22 and FFY 23 Section 5307 funds for the replacement bus purchase. The City was awarded the $1,147,500, with a $202,500 local match in Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, for a total grant amount of $1,350,000. This total vehicle purchase amount was budgeted for in the FY 25/26 budget.
On October 30, 2025, Gillig provided the City its final quote of $1,571,576 for this vehicle purchase, which is higher than originally anticipated. Due to inflation and tariffs, the cost of vehicles has increased significantly industry-wide. It is also advisable to have around a 10% contingency for vehicle purchases, as these vehicles will be built 18 to 20 months from date of purchase order. Therefore, staff recommends a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,750,000 for this bus purchase, which requires the additional appropriation of $400,000 beyond the originally anticipated $1,350,000 to cover both the unexpectedly higher cost of the vehicles and contingency. Staff will perform a grant amendment with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to obtain additional Federal funding for the project ($340,000 for a new total of $1,487,500), and the local match of Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds will increase slightly (by $60,000 for a new total of $262,500).

93 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
As stated, this authorization will allow the City to purchase two (2) new 35-foot, low floor, CNG fueled buses made by Gillig LLC in Livermore, CA. They are equipped with well-supported engines made by Cummins and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps. When placed in service, the proposed new buses will be utilized on all fixed routes, rotating between the five weekday, three express, and four weekend routes.
Rotating each new vehicle into regular service as they are delivered to the City will reduce wear and tear on the City’sexisting fixed route buses and will increase the availability of spare buses when one is removed from service for preventative maintenance or repairs. During the transition, operating costs are also expected to decrease due to the increased mechanical reliability of the new buses. The existing Glaval Titan II buses will be decommissioned and sold at auction.
Per Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.045, State and Local Agency Contracts, the bidding process may be waived when it is advantageous for the City, with appropriate approval by the City Manager and City Council, to use contracts that have been awarded by other public agencies, provided that their award was in compliance with their formally-adopted bidding or negotiation procedures. Purchasing the buses utilizing the WSDOT contract saves the City of Lodi time and money.
STRATEGIC VISION:
1D. Downtown: Accessibility for multi-modal transportation and public safety.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Maintenance costs for the new buses are included in the current Transit operating budget. If the bus purchase is not approved, the City will not be compliant with FTA guidelines in maintaining transit vehicles in a state of good repair, potentially negatively impacting future funding. The five existing buses will be disposed of at public auction in accordance with FTA guidelines, and any proceeds over $5,000 per bus will be applied to this purchase. The project does not impact the General Fund.

AGENDA ITEM C.8
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Interim City Manager to Accept Payment of $19,500 From, and Dedicate Easement to, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Property (PW) MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager to accept payment of $19,500 from, and dedicate easement to, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Property.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City owns approximately 1,090 acres associated with the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility.
The majority of the property is leased for farmland associated with utilizing the treated wastewater. There is currently a series of power poles between two of the City’sfields towards the southeast portion of the City property (see Exhibit A).
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has approached the City with a desire to upgrade those poles in order to increase the reliability of their service in the area. The easement that PG&E currently has for those poles does not meet their current standards, so they have requested an increase to the easement width along with the pole upgrades. The proposed increase is from 8-foot wide (existing) to 40-foot wide (32-feet of which would be new). PG&E provided a Valuation Estimate (Exhibit C) to coincide with the additional easement width. Based on that document, PG&E proposed to compensate the City $19,500 for the additional easement width (Exhibit B).
Staff reviewed the Valuation Estimate and the potential impacts to the farmable land, and believes the proposed compensation to be fair with minimal impacts to farmable land.
STRATEGIC VISION:
Not Applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract will have no long-term fiscal impacts.

RE: PG&E Easement, Eight Mile Rebuild and Reconductor
APN 055-120-03 & 055-190-01 , San Joaquin County
Dear City of Lodi:
As you are aware, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is upgrading its Electric Infrastructure, in a continuing effort to provide safe and reliable service to its customers. To facilitate this project PG&E is proposing to secure an easement to allow for the widening of our existing strip which in turn would allow the greater blowout expected from the taller poles and new conductor being installed.
PG&E hereby offers to pay you a total of $19,500.00 (Nineteen Thousand and Five Hundred Dollars) as compensation for the Easement to be acquired at this time . This sum is based on a valuation estimate completed by PG&E.
If you find the offer acceptable, please sign and return the Easement. Your signatures on the Easement Deed must be acknowledged by a notary public and must match exactly what is printed on the signature block .
A W-9 has also been included and will need to be completed and returned in order to process the settlement payment. Payment processing can take several weeks after PG&E has received both the signed W-9 form and the notarized easement deed(s). Please ensure that the W-9 form that you provide to me is signed and dated within the last 6 months.
You may be assured PG&E will make every effort to accommodate and address your concerns about this project. If you have any further questions about the project or PG&E’s offer please feel free to contact me at 916-205-4628 or by email at [email protected]. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.
Sincerely,

As requested, attached is a report of the estimated market value for the proposed acquisition. This is a desktop estimate based on information available to the valuation administrator. In most cases a valuation estimate (AKA waiver valuation) is sufficie nt for project planning and pre -litigation negotiations, however if the real estate transaction is part of an eminent domain action or if otherwise required by law/regulation, please work with the appraisal administrator to order a formal appraisal. In no case shall this valuation be considered valid for lending or any other unintended purposes.
This estimate does not include costs associated with any currently unidentified construction yards/staging areas, nor does it include mitigation costs for loss of parking areas, business losses, relocation assistance, and/or property damage claims, if any exist, unless they are specifically identified in the report.
Please be aware of the following assumptions, all of which are critical to understanding and using this valuation estimate. If any of the assumptions are proven incorrect, this valuation estimate may need to be revised:
• The estimates contained within this waiver valuation are for budgeting and negotiation purposes and should not be considered for condemnation/eminent domain uses. If an appraisal were to be carried out on this property, it is possible that information discovered about the property, or the market could result in opinions of value that differ from those presented in this estimate.
• The estimated land value of the subject was based on the assumption that the Highest and Best Use of the land, as vacant, is Agricultural. This supposition was made after researching the zoning and general plan designation for the parcel with the C ity of Lodi and San Joaquin County and examining both subject parcel and neighborhood environs. • No title report has been provided or reviewed in conjunction with this estimate. Other than those specifically mentioned in this report, it is assumed that there are no issues affecting title that would play a significant role in the valuation of the subject parcel. • This valuation estimate is based on mapping and property information provided by the project team. This information is assumed to be accurate, however, if errors are found, the valuation estimate can be revised.
• If applicable, it is assumed the property owner’s existing improvements will either be untouched, or restored in the after condition, with no loss of utility. • No environmental review of the property has been presented to the estimator. The property is assumed to be “clean” or at least as clean as the comparable sales. If this supposition is incorrect, the value of the property could be significantly lower than what is indicated in this report.
• The scope of this Valuation Estimate is limited: The estimator has not visited the subject or comparable properties. Data has not been personally verified but is assumed reasonably accurate.
• The dollar figures generated for this estimate are influenced by real estate market conditions and will change over time.

HIGHEST and BEST USE, as VACANT (ASSUMED): Agricultural
INTEREST ESTIMATED: Electric Transmission Easement (Non-Exclusive)
PARCEL VALUATION ESTIMATE:
Subject Parcels:
The subject consists of two assessor’s parcels: APN 055-120-03 (158.57 acres) and APN 055-190- 01 (99.15 acres), for a combined total of approximately 257.72 acres located within the City Limits of Lodi, though separated from the primary developed portion of the city (refer to Exhibit below).
It appears these parcels, along with others nearby, were acquired by the City as part of a water treatment plant project. While there are no apparent water treatment facilities present on the subject parcels, they may serve purposes related to the release of treated water and/or provide a buffer for the plant.
Both parcels are flat; parcel 055-190-01 is triangular in shape, and both are considered suitable for agricultural use individually or as part of a larger grouping. The surrounding area consists mainly of agricultural land with some rural residential ranch homes. The soil score on these parcels is lower compared to other parcels in the Lodi region; however, permanent plantings exist in the vicinity, indicating potential permanent planting viability. 107

Valuation Estimate: (City of Lodi)
35569765_EIGHT MILE 2106 FEEDER EXTENSION TL UB
Internal
Zoning and General Plan:
The parcels fall under the City of Lodi planning department but are somewhat isolated from most city properties. The Lodi Planning Department GIS shows no zoning designation for the subjects; the general plan land use is PQP (Public/Quasi-Public).
Highest and Best Use:
Highest and best use refers to the use, among reasonably probable and legal alternatives, that is physically possible, adequately supported, financially feasible, and generates the greatest land value. This term can also be described as the most efficient and profitable legal use. Factors such as size, shape, area, and terrain influence how a parcel of land may be developed. Additionally, frontage and depth can affect a parcel's utility. Development of irregularly shaped parcels may involve increased costs and could result in reduced utility compared to similarly situated typical parcels. On agricultural properties other factors such as water availability and soil quality can impact highest and best use.
108
Exhibit D-1a
Valuation Estimate: (City of Lodi)
35569765_EIGHT MILE 2106 FEEDER EXTENSION TL UB
The property in question does not have a specific zoning designation, but the GPLA classification is Public/Quasi -Public. Properties with public uses provide benefits to adjacent parcels by delivering essential services, yet they are seldom bought or sold on the open market since permitted activities are generally limited and are not intended to maximize direct economic returns from the parcel itself. Publicly zoned lands contribute to enhancing overall community value, although their own economic value tends to be limited due to restricted potential uses.
In order to assign economic value to a property under public-use planning designations, appraisers often look to a hypothetical situation where the public use has ceased, zoning has been changed, and the property is being sold on the open market for private use. Under this scenario, appraisers look for clues to support hypothetical zoning and use of the property. This application of appraisal methodology often manifests itself with the use of the “Across the Fence” (ATF) technique which values the subject land by comparing it to the adjoining properties, hence the name “across the fence.” This does not necessarily mean that the subject is limited to only the adjacent use, but rather that the predominant land uses in the area should be considered, amongst other factors affecting the subject parcel such as topography, environmental issues, demand, etc.
Another way to conceptualize this idea is an alternative hypothetical situation where the property owner had to purchase some replacement property to compensate for the loss of utility due to the acquisition. Since public use property rarely, if ever, transacts on the open market, the property
owner would likely be resigned to purchasing portions of the neighboring properties. Once again, this second thought experiment also lends itself to an ATF approach to value the subject.
Regarding the subject property, the adjacent parcels and the majority of the surrounding area are predominantly agricultural. This aligns with the present use of the subject parcels. Accordingly, it is reasonable to conclude that the highest and best use of the subject parcel would be agricultural, assuming the hypothetical condition that public usage has ceased and the city has rezoned the property to match the prevailing zoning of the neighborhood.
Comparable Sales and Listing Data:
Recent sales of similar agricultural properties were identified within the local area and surrounding regions. The appraiser included both vacant land and improved properties where either the imp
rovements likely did not significantly affect the sales price or, where permanent plantings, were removed after the sale.
Data was compiled using Acres, a national database for agricultural land values and parcel-specific attributes such as topography, crop type, and soil quality. Five recent sales were selected as the most comparable, with prices ranging from $15,032 to $37,059 per acre. The subject property is geographically closest to Sale D ($15,032/acre), which also has a similar soil score — often an important consideration in determining agricultural land value. Sale D is substantially larger than the subject properties, whether consider
ed individually or collectively; therefore, the subject property may require an upward adjustment above the $15,000 per acre value.

The ASFMRA Trends 2025 publication was also utilized as a reference. Trends is an annual report detailing agricultural land sales and lease values, informed by local appraisers and agribusiness professionals. According to ASFMRA Trends 2025, cropland in the “Lodi Region” is valued between $18,000 and $21,500 per acre. Given that the subject property has a lower overall soil score relative to the comparables, its value is positioned below the upper end of this range.
Considering both comparable data and the Trends report, the estimated underlying land value for the subject property is approximately $20,000 per acre. This figure will serve as the basis for evaluating the cost of the easement.
(SEE ADDENDA for DATA SET and TRENDS INFORMATION)
Proposed Acquisition:
The proposed acquisition is an approximately 84,868ft² non-exclusive electric transmission easement. This situation is unique in that the line in question already exists on the property within a smaller, pre-existing easement. Rather than modify the existing easement, PG&E’s Land Rights team has elected to lay the new easement over the top and except out the portion of the strip that is covered by the existing easement, which will remain in effect.
The easement gives PG&E rights to operate and maintain electric transmission and/or distribution lines with necessary appurtenances. It also r estricts buildings and gives PG&E vegetation management rights to protect the lines.
The western portion of the new easement appears to cover a n existing farm road. The eastern portion appears to cover mostly crop land. It does not appear that any improvements or permanent plantings are impacted by the proposed easement.
Valuation of Proposed Acquisition:
The value of an easement is a function of what the property owner could have done within the easement area in the “before condition” versus what can be done in the “after condition,” based on the restrictions imposed by the easement language. The resulting loss of utility is then expressed in terms of a percentage of fee simple land value for valuation purposes.
The easement language restricts buildings and some vegetation, but a portion of the easement covers a farm road, and other portions cover crop land, all of w hich are virtually unimpacted by the easement. As such, the easement has minimal impact on the parcel as it is currently used. That said, under the hypothetical that the public use has ceased, the property may be adaptable to Internal 110

permanent plantings where the portion of the easement outside of the farm road would put trees at risk for trimming and/or removal.
Regarding the percentage of fee simple value to apply to this easement: On one end of the valuation spectrum, a valuation of 90- 99% would indicate that nearly all use and utility of the property had been lost by the owner in the after condition (Example: A fenced, exclusive easement over previously unencumbered land). The proposed easement is clearly less impactful than 90% of fee simple value as it is non -exclusive and unfenced. Further , the existing use and other agricultural uses are largely unimpacted.
On the other end of the spectrum, a valuation of 5-10% of fee simple value would indicate that the easement has little to no effect on the use and utility of the property in the after condition (Example:
A non-exclusive easement over land already encumbered by a similar easement). No title report has been reviewed; thus, this valuation assumes that the land is free and clear of any potential encumbrances that could affect value. As such, the proposed easement is clearly more impactful than 10% of fee simple value.
This valuation estimate applies 50% of the fee simple value to the proposed easement, reflecting its non-exclusive nature and the continued utility of the encumbered property segment for activities such as cultivating low-growing crops, maintaining farm roads, and facilitating staging in the after condition. The relatively high percentage of fee simple value attributed to the easement is primarily due to the potential that, should orchards ever be established on the subject property, they would be planted at-risk for trimming or removal (within the easement footprint).
Value of Proposed Easement:
Subject property land value = $20,000/acre (Fee Simple Value)
Proposed easement area = 84,868 square feet or 1.948-acre
1.948-acre multiplied by $20,000/acre = $38,966 (Full Value of Easement Footprint) $38,966 multiplied by 50% of fee = $19,483 (Value of Easement)

AGENDA TITLE:
Accept Improvements Under Contract for Traffic Signal and Lighting Project - Victor Road (SR 12) and Guild Avenue (PW)
MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept improvements under contract for Traffic Signal and Lighting Project - Victor Road (SR12) and Guild Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Steady growth in the industrial area east of SR 99 has resulted in additional traffic impacts at the intersection at Victor Road (SR 12) and Guild Avenue. This intersection was previously a 4-way intersection with stop controls on Guild Avenue. After receiving several requests for a traffic signal installation at this location, staff conducted a traffic signal evaluation that determined this intersection met the State criteria. Due to this being a State Route, the process of getting the signal designed, permitted, and constructed took the Traffic and Construction Management divisions of Public Works approximately eight (8) years.
This project installed curb ramps, crosswalk, traffic signal and lighting improvements at the Guild Avenue and Victor Road (SR 12) intersection. This project also relocated the raised median on Guild Avenue north of Victor Road to accommodate large truck turning movements as required by Caltrans.
On August 7, 2024, Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized advertisements for bids.
On November 6, 2024, Council awarded this project to St. Francis Electric in the amount of $903,999.00, and authorized the City Manager to execute change orders in an amount not-to-exceed $100,000.
On October 22, 2025, all work was completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. The final contract price was $968,388.12 with five (5) change orders that totaled $64,389.12. Photos of the completed work are shown in Exhibit A, and a breakdown of the change orders are as follows:
Change Order No. 1 ($98,471.62) included a conductor change for the flashing beacon, a credit for removing the telephone cabinet from the project, and nighttime work required by Caltrans.
Change Order No. 2 ($8,849.35) included a replacement anchor bolt package to be procured due to Caltrans on-site source inspection requirements.
Change Order No. 3 ($12,885.64) included additional work required to locate a water line prior to boring new City of Lodi Printed on 11/25/2025Page 1 of 2

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Change Order No. 3 ($12,885.64) included additional work required to locate a water line prior to boring new conduits.
Change Order No. 4 (-$59,197.30) included additional concrete work required to facilitate new path of travel improvements and a credit for a portion of work added with Change Order No. 1 (that was no longer necessary).
Change Order No. 5 ($3,379.81) included additional work required to restore additional utility pothole locations.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’soffice. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30-day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
STRATEGIC VISION:
5. Infrastructure: Develop and maintain a robust infrastructure to support a World class city..
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installation of this signal project improves the flow of truck traffic while enhancing safety at this intersection.
This project did not impact the General Fund and has a minimal impact on long-term citywide traffic signal maintenance costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
This project was funded through Street Impact Fees.

AGENDA ITEM C.11
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Set a Public Hearing for December 17, 2025 to Consider Adoption of the 2025 California Building Code, California Existing Building Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green Building Standard Code, and Fire Code (CD)
MEETING DATE:
December 3, 2025
PREPARED BY:
Derek Poe, Chief Building Official
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Set a Public Hearing for December 17, 2025 to Consider Adoption of the 2025 California Building Code, California Existing Building Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green Building Standard Code, and Fire Code.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 18938, the California Building Standards Commission has selected January 1, 2026, as the effective date for the 2025 California Building Code, 2025 California Existing Building Code, 2025 California Mechanical Code, 2025 California Electrical Code, 2025 California Plumbing Code, 2025 California Residential Code, 2025 California Fire Code, and 2025 California Green Building Standard Code.
Every three years, Building/Construction and Fire Codes are amended by the State to include provisions of the most recent version. The State of California Building Standards Commission adopts new State standards, which cities and counties are therefore mandated to adopt. If codes with amendments are not adopted locally by January 1, 2026, then cities are required to follow State codes only. The need for the new ordinances is to adopt specific appendixes and/or administration provisions not adopted by the State. An example of this is:
· Administration Chapter I, Division II has been amended to have the City Council sit as the board of appeals for alternate materials and types of construction versus a separate appointed board of appeals; and
· Appendix J will be adopted to assist staff and design professionals with clear direction for construction design guidelines for grading, excavation, and earthwork.
The major changes in this code cycle are in the California Building Code, California Energy Code, and California Green Building Standard Code. These changes will have some benefits and restrictions compared to the existing Codes.
STRATEGIC VISION:
4E. Housing: Adopt standards and policies to promote housing for all economic levels.

PREPARED BY:
Katie Lucchesi, City Attorney
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Set a Public Hearing for December 17, 2025 to Consider Waiving the First Reading and Introducing an Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Code, Title 1 (General Provisions) Chapter 1.10 “Administrative Enforcement Provision”and Title 6 (Animals) Chapter 6.04 “Impoundment,”Chapter 6.08 “ProhibitedAnimals,” Chapter 6.12 “Dogsand Cats,”Chapter 6.14 “Keepingand Sanitation”;and Chapter 6.15 “Vicious/Potentially Dangerous Dog.”
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Lodi Animal Services Division (“AnimalServices”)provides care and services for Lodi residents and pets alike. From field response to animal shelter care, help finding adoptable animals new homes, providing humane education, and investigating violations or Lodi Municipal Code (LMC) and animal cruelty cases, the Animal Services staff work to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents and animals in Lodi.
To better perform their regular duties, Animal Services staff members have reviewed the LMC regulations and worked with the City Attorney’soffice to propose amendments to the current LMC text to clarify definitions, authority, and procedures. Additionally, the proposed amendments would establish a new trap, neuter, and return (TNR) program to help address the growing feral cat population.
The proposed revisions are intended to make the LMC animal code provisions clearer for the community and allow Animal Services staff to better perform their duties. To accomplish this, the proposed ordinance includes the following key changes in the LMC Chapters as follows:
· Chapter 1.10 - Defining an “enforcement officer” and clarifying LMC enforcement authority. · Chapter 6.08 - adds definitions, prohibits feeding feral cats, and clarifies that violations of the chapter are infractions rather than misdemeanors.
