The additional cost of this will be $161.70 this fiscal year. A schedule depicting the new contribution rates for the City for dental insurance was presented for Council perusal.

Lange, which in part included the following information: The working committee of the Old Lodi Union High School Site Foundation continues to meet each Tuesday noon in the Council Chambers to evaluate the fund-raising efforts and outline goals and working objectives to make the site available to townspeople. 15 Continued August 6, 1980 / Y3 This coMffittee is responsible for raising $275,000 towards reimbursing the City for the purchase of the ten acre site. A net- work of volunteers are contributing hundreds of hours to solicit funds and support from Lodi area consti-uents. And with each area covered by a fund-raising chairman including clubs and organizations, high school graduates, business and industry, agriculture, professional, public employees, special gifts and public - at -large, the committee is confiders- that our goal of $475,000 will soon be realized. A chance of a lifetime is in the laps of our community. Many community leaders, businesses, organizations and uncounted families support the need for a community center in Lodi and they recognize the renovation of this down- town site as a one-time opportunity. On Saturday, October 11 a major fund raising event is being planned in the interest of completing the site purchase and stimulating interest in the future development of the community center. Omega Nu Sorority, already a donor of $7,000 has committed their membership to coordinate an extensive one day "County Fair" on the grounds of the old campus. Our committee has agreed to volunteer time and labor to organize an auction of remaining items that have been abandoned on the site to sell to the highest bidder with all profits pouring into coffers ear -marked for the purchase of this site. Various local service clubs are now coming forth and volun- teering their labors with unique fund-raising projects that can also be held during the "County Fair". There is much to be done in preparation for this fall event and we need the support of the City Council to insure its success. Our first glance check list includes the following considerations: "Appointment of a Coordinator for the Community Center who will serve as a liaislon between the Foundation and the City Council and will be able to spend the necessary time to develop a plan with long range goals for the development of this project. 'The cafeteria building needs minimal repairs to open to use to the public; these repairs include: repairing leaks in the roof - kitchen equipped to be used for catered dinners. - plumbing and electrical equipment checked to be in proper working order. - rest rooms need to be in operative order - tables and chairs for the building's capacity, 350 people, should be available. 15 /SY Continues August 6, 1990 - changes in the fencing should be made so that all doors in the cafeteria would be usable, a diagram depicting the proposed changes was presented for Council's perusal. - replace fence and gate on Oak Street that were removed by school district - designate a specific service road- way from Oak Street - Alvinia Wagemann Allen, the Food Services Director for the LUSD has volunteered her time to coordinate the refurbishing of the cafeteria and has suggested that we investigate the usable equipment that may be available from schools that are closing due to sagging enrollments. The realization of the resources available in the cafeteria building and the efforts that are being volunteered by scores of Lodians will 'serve as a catalyst towards the development of a community center. The volunteer effort that has brought this project to the hearts and minds of Lodians are substantial and sincere. Success for the community use of this site depends on the energy and imagination of countless people. We believe in this project and have made the commitment to make it a (- reality in the very near *future. We feel that your positive interest and support in assisting this Foundation in securing their goals will be the first step in providing a community center for the City of Lodi. Councilman.

RES. :`;0. 90-99 City Clerk Reimche read into a record a letter received from the Central Lodi improve- ment Committee (CLIC) as follows: 17 Continued August 6, 1980 City Council City of Lodi Gentlemen: Since December 10, 1979, QUAD Consultants has been working with the Central Lodi Improve- ment Committee (CLIC) to identify solutions to downtown parking and improvement needs. A report embodying the results of this study program will be submitted to the City Council on August 20, 1980. Two, co -essential, first steps in the long- range solution to downtown parking and improve- ment needs have been recommended for con- sideration by CLIC and by the City. They are: 1. City authorization for payoff at this time of the $24,927.54 balance of the parking bonds, permitting parking meter removal in conjunction with Step 2. 2. CLIC submittal to the City at an early date, tentatively mid-October, 1980, of qualifying petition for an assessment district to finance installation of both diagonal on -street narking, and on - street landscaping of School Street from Lodi to Locust, with narking meter removal to follow such submittal. It is requested by CLIC that the Council authorize Step 1 at this time. CLIC will thereafter proceed with Sten 2. Newly constructed, and currently proposed, major retail developments in outlying areas of Lodi increase the need for downtown Lodi to offer shopping -center type amenities in order to remain a viable, economically pro- ductive, community core. Included in these necessary amenities are adequate free, front - door, diagonal parking faciiities and attrac- time landscaping. Parking meters, and downtown parking diffi- culties, are perceived as a problem by a significant percentage of downtown shoppers. On -street interviews showed 70 Dercent of downtown Parkers opposed to parking meters and 54 percent indicating that downtown parking problems were an important factor in determining where to shop. It is hoped that the Council can act favorable on this request. CLIC members will be present at your next meeting to answer any questions which you may have. Sincerely Signed Walter F.
