DEVELOPMENT
CC -7 (k)
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 15, 1987
Mr. Cecil Dillon, President of the Lodi District Chamber of
Commerce, presented the Chamber's Annual Report on Economic
Development. Mr. Dillon reported that in April, 1986 the
Chamber's Economic Concerns Committee set out to achieve
those goals established for its second year of economic
development involvement.
Those goals were:
--to broaden the awareness of economic development through
educational seminars and conferences.
--to facilitate the feasibility efforts of attracting a
major hotel in Lodi.
--to provide Lodi businessmen and women with educational
workshops and services to assist in their continued
success.
--to review topics for a future Community Congress.
--to develop a city host group available to meet with
businesses looking to locate in Lodi.
In 1986 the Cnambe:^ has attempted to address issues of
local concern regarding growth in Lodi. The Chamber
provided a public awareness on the city infrastructure
issue through the use of King Videocable and their
"Community Connection" program. It is hoped that,
through
ble
the Chamber's efforts, e ds City
thencil will community be better through ache
to respond t
Chamber's public awareness programming.
I
}
As part of the Chamber's commitment to the City the
Economic Concerns Committee continues t-. meet monthly.
This committee continues to show as much enthus;asm as it
did at its first meeting in 1985. The Chamber's plan then
and now is to continue learning about economic
development. The Chamber will continue to provide public
information regarding Lodi's future growth and the problems
we must address related to growth.
Mr. Dillon further stated that as we look toward the future
we see many changes. Aergers and acquisitions appear to be
effecting every and Lodi is no exception. But as
times and buscness change, so must we. We must stay
inrormed and we must be responsive to the needs of our
community.
Mr. Dillon concluded his remarks requesting a contribution _
from the City in the amount of $8,000 for 1987-88 as the
City's renewed commitment to the Chamber's economic
development efforts. With the City's help, Mr. Dillon
indicated that the Chamber would be better prepared to
address economic issues in the future.
Discussion followed with questions regarding the matter
being directed to Mr. Dillon by the Council.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Snider, Reid second, Council ;
approved an "investment" in the Lodi District Chamber of
Commerce in the amount of $8,000 for 1987-88 as the City's
renewed commitment to the Chamber's economic development
efforts. This amount will be charged against the Community
Promotion Budget.

198E was a Year of greeter Chamber- involvement in economic
development. As we continue to nerve as the information center
for Codi, we recognize the need for greater financial support.
The last two years the city has generously contributed $5,000 a
year for the Chamber`s efforts. For 1987, we are submitting a
request for $8,000 which we feel will help improve our current
efforts.
