Dear Councilmembers:
On behalf of the Lodi Unified Science Task Force, we wish
to go on recor6 in strong support of preserving the natural
resources of the Mokelumne River north shore between Highway
99 and the Woodbridge Irrigation District.
As school administrators and teachers, we know the importance
of conservation, and teach our children accordingly. The
responsibility rests on local communities citizens, and
the officials we elect to safeguard our environment.
Therefore, we respectfully request that you support a resolution
that will provide for a study to retain the natiiral resources
and open space on the north side of the Mokelumne River, and to
work with appropriate officials and legislators at the State and
Federal level to ensure the success of our request.
Thank you for your continuing response to constituent concerns.
Sincerely,
Science Task Force,
Lodi Unified School District

Dear Lodi City Council:
We once lost our undeveloped areas to the productive snare of
agriculture. As this land us3 has metamorphosed from
vineyards to housing and other forms of sprawling urban
development, we are, in my opinion, changing the character of
our community in a negative fashion forever.
Please preserve some of the open undeveloped space in our region
for wildlife and the citizens of our community. I appeal to you
to study the benefits of maintaining undeveloped areas as
wildlife habitat and open space. Please preserve the Mokelumne
River in San Joaquin County and especially along the north side
of Lodi's city limits. This area has been very important to me
and it would be an inexcusable mistake to deny our ancestors the
same opportunity to enjoy this beautiful riparian habitat.
Save some of what makes our community a wonderful place to live!
Sincerely,
Timothy W. Chapman
