CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 4, 1984
There was no meeting of the Planning Commission since the
last report provided to the Council.
City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter from Mrs.
Jerrie K. Abrahamson, President of the Lodi District Chamber
of Commerce:
"The Board of Directors of the Lodi District Chamber of
Commerce have approved, in their 1984 Plan of Action, the
appointment of a Steering Committee to develop and
coordinate a committee to encourage Economic Development in
the Lodi area.
We will be requesting the members of the present City of
Lodi Economic Development Commission to participate as a
core group, to aid in the establishment of this committee.
We would also appreciate any help or advice the City of Lodi
staff can contribute to this effort.
It has been suggested that the City Council consider
disbanding the present Economic Development Commission and
allow the Chamber's newly proposed committee to explore the
subject of Economic Development in the district.
You may recall that in the early 70's the very active
Economic Development Committee, of the Chamber, was
dissolved. This action was prompted by a request from the
Board of Supervisors when the Sar, Joaquin County Economic
Dov 1 t Association was formed All chamber in the
e oFxmen s
County cooperated in this joint endeavor.
Times have changed, the potential for new industries and
jobs in San Joaquin County needs the active participation of
all segments in the County aimed at Economic Development.We feel that the Chamber is the organization best suited for
coordinating these efforts. ID
We look forward to working with the City Council, C
members anti City Staff in coordinating the type of Economic
Development that is the most satisfactory and productive for
the Lodi area."
