Lodi City Council to Consider Writing Off $3M in Unpaid Utility Bills; Planning Commission Meetings Cancelled
City Council — July 1
The Lodi City Council was scheduled to meet July 1 to vote on writing off uncollectible utility billing accounts from 2020–2026 totaling up to $3,007,846.11, and general billing accounts from 2019–2026 totaling up to $313,976.48. These items were listed on the consent agenda. Minutes from this meeting have not yet been published, so it is not yet confirmed whether the council approved these write-offs.
The agenda also included a $324,620.10 purchase of power cable from Anixter Inc. for the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, and a new professional services agreement with Loomis for cash handling and armored transport at $165,000.
A public hearing was scheduled on an ordinance to regulate mobile food vending on streets, sidewalks, and private property. The council was also set to consider several CalPERS contract amendments to reduce cost shares for various employee groups.
All items above are drawn from the published agenda; official minutes confirming what was decided have not been released.
