HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - February 5, 1986 (96)RE UES'T REMIIVFD TO
RU400 PLAQUE AT
LODI ARM The City Clerk presented a petition bearing aPProximately
20 names stating:
,,This letter reflects the feelings of many of those w�
worked on or supported C.L.I.C. (Central Lodi Improveffert
Ccnmittee) regarding a Plaque recently installed on the
newly refurbished Lodi Arch.
This plaque gives credit for the now ccnPleted downtown
improvements to a limited number of people, cmPletely
ignoring many progressive downtown merchants and Property
owners who gave both time and money to C.L.I.C. It is our
belief that if it were not for the two year efforts of
C.L.I.C., it is highly unlikely that anything would have
1 been done.
While the plaque does include scme of the original
supporters, it ccuipletely ignores others who worked very
hard for the formation of an improvement district. Walter
Sanborn, who had nothing to gain except Pride in his
city, chaired C.L.I.C. during its entirety. Yet, to the
best of our knowledge, was never publicly thanked.
Rather than add names, we think the Plaque should be
removed. The improvement in the downtown area is reward
enough for those who participated".
No formal action was taken by the Council in this matter
following discussion.

Honorable Members:
This letter reflects the feelings of many of those who worked on or
supported C.L.I.C. (Central Lodi Improvement Committee) regarding
a plaque recently installed on the newly refurbished Lodi Arch.
This plaque gives credit for the now completed downtown improvements
to a limited number of people, completely ignoring many progressive
downtown merchants and property owners who gave both time and money to
C.L.I.C. It is our belief that were it not for the two year efforts
of C.L.I.C., it is highly unlikely that anything would have: been done.
While the plaque does include some of the original supporters, it
completely ignores others who worked very hard for the formation of
an improvement district. Walter Sanborn, who had nothing to gain
qij except pride in his city, chaired C.L.I.C. during its entirety. Yet,
to the best of our knowledge, was never even publicly thanked.
: Rather than add names, we think the plaque should be removed. The
improvement in the downtown area.is reward enough for those who parti-
cipated.
Respectfully
