BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On August 19, 1998, the City of Lodi entered into an agreement with the Lodi -Woodbridge Winegrape Commission (LWWC) to promote the development of regional business, recreation, tourist, conference, and visitor activities in the City through the Lodi Conference and Visitors Commission. That agreement committed funding in the amount of $60,000 a year for two years with an option to renew for one year. The agreement with LWWC has expired and since that time, the Lodi Conference and Visitors Bureau (LCVB) has established itself as California non-profit organization independent of the LWWC. Although the Lodi City Council approved funding the LCVB in the amount of $123,500 during the FY 2005-06 budget process, it needs to additionally adopt a successor agreement with the Lodi Conference and Visitors Bureau. The agreement (Exhibit A) shall be renewed annually in conjunction with the City's fiscal year and budget process. Payments to the LCVB will be made quarterly within 60 days of an approved payment request. As responsible managers and in keeping with standard practice when granting public funds to be used for public benefit programs, the City has requested that the LCVB and other grantees provide specific documentation as justification for financial support. In addition, we ask that grantees be accountable for capital assets purchased with City funds. The LCVB has provided a list of projects (Exhibit B) to be funded by the City's $123,500 contribution. The projects and economic benefit derived from the program are endorsed. FISCAL IMPACT: $123,500 FUNDING AVAILABLE: 05-2006 fiscal year udget, 100431.8099, Economic Development mes R.
