Dear Council Members:
il-STS AUG -23 f'
ALICE M. REitriL ilE
CITY CLERK
Last nigia I attended the City Council meeting to
listen to the pros and cons of the public hearing
concerning the reno-yation of the Hotel Lodi.
I basically attendad the meeting as a member of the
Lodi Senior Citizens Commission, but I am writing
you this letter as a concerned citizen of Lodi.
After listening to all the input and mulling on it
all evening afterward one must feel that if the
project can be strictly for senior citizens then
everyone in general would be happy and would then
like to see it happen. Correct me if I am wrong,
but after listening to all what was said Mr. Logue
could still build the project without State moneys
thus waking it possible to designate occupancy
solely for senior citizens. Maybe consideration
should be made to express this to the developer.
A project like this is long needed in this commu-
nity even though we have.the Golden Era (with no
elevator) and Locust Street Square (that is too
expensive for a low income senior to afford). The
Hotel is a beautiful building and it is a shame
to see it go unused. How often do you get an
opportunity such as this that will not only benefit
the senior citizens of Lodi but the City as well,
the historical site brought back to life!
Respectfully yours,

I am sorry that I will be unable to attend your meetin �� August 6th,
but this falls during the time of the San JojiiAL1gongt,, "Ta rY and I will be
busy with it.
ALICE M. REIMICH--
However, I would like to express my feeling eW tIQ.EUversion of the
Hotel Lodi. CITY OF LODI
When the article case out in the Stockton Record the early part of
April, I contacted both Councilmen, Randy Snider and Jim Pinkerton, and
they in turn had Mr. Shroeder call me, as I had questioned if there was to
be a public hearing on this, and I was informed by Mr. Shroeder that no
hearing was needed on this, as it was properly zoned and could be reopened
at any time.
My f irst thought was why did we spend all this money downtown to
attract businesses, and then turn around and take the heart of Lodi and
turn it into housing? I can see no advantage to either the downtown area
or the senior citizens that you are pla.ining to let occupy these premises.
The disadvantages I can see to the seniors is that they will hsve i room
to live in, no place to sit out of doors, only the concrete sidewalks,
no grocery stores within walking distance, no restaurants that are open on
weekends and holidays. Are they going to have to rely on Dial -A -Ride for
all their needs?
Looking at the safety aspect, I know that the Hotel will have to be
brought up to code. Being up on the 2nd and 3rd floor would also be
frightening in the event of a fire, as I am sure most of them rely heavily
on the elevator.
As an investment, the return is very poor for the amount of the
expenditure. It seems to me that for a 3 million dollar investment, a
beautiful little village could be built for this purpose which could be
1 story along with a yard for these people.
How about earthquake? Is the building earthquake proof?
It seems to me if public funds are available at a low interest rate,
they should be used to benefit the community instead of out of town
investors who will reap the harvest and could care less to what happens
to our downtown area.
I do hope these points will be condidered in making ycur f'
decision.
