A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CSTY OF LODI
URGING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO HALT THE PRACTICE
OF ENACTING UNFUNDED STATE MANDATES OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE,

than those enacting the mandate; and

diversion of scarce financia? resources from existing services to other
priorities enacted by the State of California.

SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Lodi, California urges the
State of California to halt the practice of enacting unfunded state mandates

enact.
SECTION 2: The City Clerk is hereby directed to send copies of this
Resolution to the League of California Cities and to members of the State.
SECTION 3: The Lodi City Council urges the League of California Cities to
go on record against unfunded state mandates.
