Partnership

for the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership.
BACKGNOUND INFORMATIDN: The Downtown Lodi Business Partnership has submitted the
required annual budget as per Lodi Municipal Code
12.06.110. The protests received from affected businesses
to modify or eliminate the budget were not sufficient to qualify as grounds to eliminate the increase in
assessment fees of 20%. Ordinance No. 1789 was approved by Council on January 17, 2007, which
allows for establishment of the annual benefit fee to be assessed in the business area. Staff recommends
that the annual fees as contained in the attached Resolution be assessed as follows:
Lodi Area Annual Benefit Fee

1. Retailers and Restaurants $240.00 (1-3 employees) $120.00

2. Service Businesses $180.00 $90.00
3. Professional Businesses $120.00 $60.00
4. Financiallrtstitutions $600.00 $600.00
The increase in the benefit fees assessed (approximately $8,120) to the businesses is estimated to
increase the revenues to the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership to a total annual assessment amount
of $48,750. This represents a supplemental assessment and is in addition to the initial assessment that
was made on January 1, 2007,
DISCAL I11111IIPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City related to this action.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The additional costs of preparing and mailing the supplemental assessment
will be borne by Hance and City Attorney' budgets.
