Lodi Unified board approves developer-fee increase, ratifies agreements and several personnel motions
Summary
The board approved the Measure U oversight report, adopted a resolution increasing statutory developer fees (Resolution 2025-70), ratified labor agreements and approved personnel and credential items; most motions passed unanimously, with a credential waiver recorded 6-0-1 (one abstention).
The Lodi Unified School District board approved several routine and formal action items, including a Measure U citizen oversight report, a resolution to authorize an increase in statutory developer fees, ratification of labor agreements and multiple personnel actions.
The Measure U Citizen Oversight Committee delivered its annual review covering the year ending 06/30/2024 and reported that audits found Measure U funds in compliance with requirements under Proposition 39. The committee noted the taxpayer-assessed-value figure per $100,000 was $33.50 for the year ending 2023 and $44.70 for the year ending 06/30/2024, and committee members asked for volunteers to fill four vacant oversight positions.
Board members then considered Resolution 2025-70, approving the school facility fees justification report and authorizing an increase in statutory level 1 developer fees. Staff introduced the action and the board approved the resolution by voice vote, recorded as passing 7-0.
In labor and personnel items the board:
- Ratified a memorandum of understanding with the district education association related to the impacts and effects of a 7-period hybrid schedule; the motion passed 7-0. - Ratified a tentative agreement with the LA Education Association addressing the 7-period schedule; the motion passed 7-0. - Approved a periodic credential waiver application; the motion carried with 6 yes and 1 abstention. - Approved Resolution 2025-69 to hire short-term classified employees; the motion passed 7-0. - Approved placement of Timothy Hurst as principal for adult education/CTE at Lincoln Tech for the 2025-26 school year (motion recorded as 7-0).
Board President Doctor Ball called for routine-consent votes repeatedly; multiple consent motions were recorded as passing 7-0. Where tallies were read aloud, the transcript records the counts rather than individual board-member votes.
The meeting included multiple public comments urging the district to prioritize spending on students and to address staffing shortages, which board members acknowledged during deliberations. Several items were described by staff as compliance or recurring processes which require annual or periodic board action.
Outcome and next steps: most items were approved at the meeting; staff said the screener recommendation presented later in the meeting will return as a consent item for approval at the next board meeting.
