Dear Council Members :
I an enclosing a copy of a letter that I sent to your body
on October 26, 1988, which outlined a problem that I have on
the southeast corner of Sacramento and Elm Streets.
This problem, specifically, involves members of the general public
engaged in loitering, prostitution, sales of illegal drugs and
destruction of city property.
During the past nine months the situation has not improved. In
fact, it has becorre worse. I feel that ny request for help has
not been taken seriously.
I would like to see the City of Lodi take sore positive, forceful
steps toward solving this problem, and I would like some feedback
as t o what can and will be done.
I await your reply.
Respectfully ,

Dear Council Members:
I have been in business at the corner of Sacramento and � l m
Streets for fifty years, and at one time or another have had
the pleasure of doing business with 75 per cent of the residents
of Lodi. . Doing business today is not an easy task for us, and
I would like to bring to your attention the problems on the south-
east corner of Sacra^ento and Elm, on city property.
People have destroyed the -lawn and leave garbage on the corner,
for example, like the cardboard that they sit on. They drink
on this corner and leave their cans and bottles, plus a lot of
other garbage there. I have heard that many of ny customers,
like vxnxn with children, are afraid to shop in my store because
of the loitering on the corner and the constant activity back
and forth, to and from, that corner. These people, without doubt,
are breaking the law by loitering and destroying city property.
As a taxpayer, it angers ne to see these things Happen on this
corner without law enforcement being taken to correct this problem,
I demand that corracti ve measures be taken immediately!
If this problem is not taken care of immediately, I wi 11 be
forced to seek legal counsel to correct this problem.
Thank You.
Mr. J. JD&044SSAN
