COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Amending the Bylaws for the Lodi Arts Commission to
Reduce the Membership of the Commission from Eleven to Nine
MEETING DATE: August 4,2010
PREPARED BY: Deanie Bridewell
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution amending the Bylaws for the Lodi Arts
Commission (LAC) to reduce the number of positions on the
Commission from eleven to nine.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 9,2010, at the regular Lodi Arts Commission meeting, the
members in attendance voted unanimouslyto amend the
LAC Bylaws to reduce the number of positions on the Commission
from eleven to nine. The size of the Commission is specified within
the Bylaws for the LAC and therefore requires Council action to
approve.
The reasoning behind their action is that it has become increasing difficult to maintain a full commission
at the current level. Meetings have occasionally been canceled because a quorum can not be reached.
Commissioners believe a smaller commission will reduce the likelihood of recurrences.
FISCAL IMPACT: None

of the Division of Arts and Culture within the City's Community Center Department,
which adheres to the above statement, along with the constant and concrete evidence of
an expanding interest in the arts, both nationally and locally, it is most advisable that the
Lodi Arts Commission, created by the City Council of the City of Lodi on March 17, 1982
by adoption of Resolution No. 82-30, be re -affirmed and re-established to assist local
arts groups to become more reflective of the wide range of contributive talents existing
within the community; and
