TO THE CITY COUNCIL DATE:
FROM TNI CITY MANAGER'S Oii1CIApril 1, 1983 \..
SUBJECT
RMIC4il'ING OF 71;E IDDI f4ISSION ARCH
Several years ago, the City Council as a part of its energy
conservation program directed that the Lodi Arch no longer be
lit.
This office has received a number of contacts retesting that the
Arch be relit. The callers indicated their feelings that the
Arch has long been considered as the official entrance to the
City and holds con3iderable sentimental value to many citizens of
this ccmmLdty.
The Arch has been designated as a State Historical Landmark and
has been registered in the National Register of Historical
Places.
The design for the proposed downtown improvement district
includes a beautification plan for the area surrounding the Arch.
It is therefore proposed that the City Council consider the
relighting of this historical "symbol" of our co m inity as an
expression of welecme to all those who enter our city.
