AGENDA TITLE: Accept memorial bench and plaque donation commemorating the Friends of Lodi
Lake 10th anniversary
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2005
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept a memorial bench and plaque donation
commemorating the Friends of Lodi Lake 101' anniversary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1995 a small group of citizens organized themselves and became
known as the Friends of Lodi Lake. Their goal was to enhance and
preserve Lodi Lake Park for future generations. In the past ten
years, the Friends of Lodi Lake have designed, installed and
maintained various gardens within the park. The group has donated numerous trees that have helped to
enrich the park's urban forest. Staff has received enormous support from the Friends related to various
park issues. The Friends have donated many voluntary hours toward park landscape maintenance,
planning meetings and workshops. They are strong supporters of park events such as our annual Arbor
Day celebration.
On October 4, 2005, the Parks and Recreation Commission is scheduled to consider this request. In the
unlikely event that the Parks and Recreation Commission does not approve this donation, this item will
be removed from the City Council agenda for the October 5, 2005, meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Friends of Lodi Lake have agreed to provide all necessary funding to support
this request.
