This must be done prior to the public hearing and adoption of a resolution confirming the 2015 Annual Report and levy of assessment. The City collects an administrative fee of 5 percent from the LTBID assessment. Representatives of the LTBID will be in attendance to make a presentation. The levy of the annual assessment will be discussed at a public hearing on December 17, 2014. The City provides additional funding to Visit Lodi! under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at a rate of 19 percent of the Transient Occupancy Tax collections. The original MOU, approved by the City Council on August 19, 2009, was in affect from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2014 and included a provision for an annual report. An addendum was approved by City Council on May 21, 2014 and extended the MOU for an additional three years. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for Visit Lodi! generates additional funding for local merchants and the City as tourism dollars are spent locally. FUNDING AVAILABLE: $114,500 is included in the FY 2014/2015 City budget.

Anyone who has set foot on this special land will undoubtedly attest to experiencing it. This is Lodi, California, and we'd like to introduce you to our remarkable tapestry of good people, great grapes and a back -story that all are welcome to enjoy. ! Lodi is a place where both wine aficionados and those simply seeking a different kind of escape are S equally comfortable.

LODI People Behind The Wine 1600 / Berghold Estate Winery The Berghold family name dates back to the 1600's in Austria where Berghold means "vineyard worker." This ancestral fact may explain the current Berghold family's passion for wine. The Berghold Family estate is an as- semblage of three contiguous vineyards totaling 85 acres of Syroh, Viognier, Cab- ernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel, 2 visitlodi.com 1860 / Michael David Winery The Phillips family's great -great- grandfather Andrew Harshner and his wife, Lucille, homesteaded 160 acres near the town of Lodi, following the Civil War. Today, Michael and David Phillips, of Michael David Winery, represent the fifth generation of growers in Lodi with 650 acres of premium wine grapes. I' E It's the soil trial makes this region so special. t. The grapes, once primarily the i Tokay variety, but now the Zinfan- del (among many others), love this loamy dirt. It is ground that has r fostered generations of vines in the - same way that it's served as the r� foundation for the generations of VA families who grew up here. This w '' +s ' special earthy recipe allows the fruit z to grow—not too fast, not too slow—------�� like the speed of the town itself.

Teri is a microbiologist and is using her extensive background in chem- istry to influence the art of winemaking. 9-7 5 Ahh yes, the wine... Grapes have been at the heart of Lodi's history. Like a royal blood- line that grows stronger with each generation, Lodi's grapes have natu- rally selected the best traits of their ancestry and continue to advance and thrive. The climate and soil are such a heavenly match that the Lodi Appel- lation -was conferred upon the region in 1986. The designation is an honor s that speaks for itself, increasingly gaining fans countrywide. Today, over 85 wineries, compris- ing 450 labels, are bottled here. (The Lodi region produces more wine grapes than any other California ap- pellation.) This is a way of life that's been central to Lodi for almost 140 years. But what's so apparent is that success hasn't gone to our heads— •more like our hearts. The winemakers . —often fourth or fifth. generation growers—are proud parents.They thrive on the opportunity to talk wine with their guests, and tell the stories that -make their grapes, such a success—right down to each distinct - flavorful personality. The winemaker will likelybe th-e one_:to top off your glass. It. } amazing.how well you get.to know•a:wine.whenyou can converse with-, the who put -so much -love int' lt. ..r about wine, that is. Wine is more than just our biggest export. It's our job. Our hobby. Our midnight oil. What we do on vacation. Our preferred method of payment. It's breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wine and everything about it has been a passion of mine for decades. My goal is simple ... to make a wine with a sense of presence and character that expresses the trueness of the vineyard. I believe that Lodi California has the perfect climate for wine grapes. Lodi has beautiful heat in the summer and evenings that are cool with an average of 57 degrees during the summer months ... a perfect growing climate for wine grapes. M c, C,,'A.

ONLY AT THE VISITORS CENTER TOURS AND TASTINGS DAILY l. � I I� 1• Ill 's "r1' r; dine out DIG IN When you're surrounded by rich farm country, wild ranches, ample wineries, and only a hop, skip and jump from the ocean—eating fresh, delectable food is as simple as picking up the fork. The region's collective surf and turf offerings take center stage on the diverse menus you'll find throughout Lodi. With all the fresh ingredients Lodi chefs have at their fingertips, dishes are simply more savory, rich, and filled with bright flavor profiles. Lodi's dining selection runs the gamut from American to Asian cuisine, Italian to International, pizza to brew pub, and everything in between. Your challenge will be deciding what and where to eat. An evening walk down the golden sidewalk takes you past a casually fun brewery, the spicy temptations of an Asian bistro, upscale chic, a candy store for the sweet tooth and authentic Mexican fare. And that's only down one street. Let your taste buds take the lead, there's no wrong direction for the foodie in Lodi. 0 0 c FINE DINING Panera Bread Bakery & Cafe Crush Kitchen + Bar 2533 W.

Now, reveling in this chic renewal, Lodi's numerous boutiques and eateries are the "place to be" for savvy shoppers and diners. Keeping with the town's history, the renovation includes old-fashioned street lamps and rustic brick streets. Modern amenities feature informational kiosks plus arrays of colorful potted plants and, its best feature, a smile on the locals' faces. It's a shopper's Neverland, where you'll find one -of -a -kind local stores, as well as your classic favorites. Numerous restaurants and wine tasting rooms line sycamore -shaded School Street—where the first town school was built. Stroll these charm -filled streets and experience a variety of specialty shops like Cheese Central, Olive Heaven, as well as chic upscale clothing shops, home decor and of course tasting rooms for a variety of local wineries. Make sure to stop by our new Downtown Visitor Center at 25 N. School St.— it's the perfect first stop to plan your day. Downtown Lodi is the perfect diversion—take a few hours and browse, dine, sip and take in the charming atmosphere that can only be found in this quintes- sential historic town. 32 visitlodi.com MC-K1nleys Frame Shop Art Gallery • Gifts • Home Decor Shadowboxes • Sports Jerseys Mirrors • Military Medals Wedding Photos • Stitcheries We OFFER MORE than custom framing ... we carry Old Town Paints and give "HOW TO" Classes on repurposing!

The purling Mokelumne River water, a product of snowmelt from the nearby Sierra Nevada, nourishes our robust grapes and is responsible for their succu- lence. It also makes for a great escape. Popular watersports like kayaking, pedal boating, swimming and fishing keep visitors and locals alike outdoors, as they shed layers to cool off in nature's own swimming pool. For some relaxation, visi- tors unwind on the shores of Lodi Lake, named by Sunset magazine as "one of the great inland beaches." Just outside the city limits, from September through February, birdwatch- ers can set eyes upon the majestic Sandhill Cranes, as they make their annual migratory fly -in at the Sandhill Crane Reserve. Spying on a bird 5 feet tall and sporting a 7 -foot wingspan is nothing short of breathtaking. If you bring the whole family, Lodi has something for every member. The Micke Grove County Park is a destination unto itself. Visitors can explore the Micke Grove Zoo, sit in the shade of the Japanese Garden's cherry blossom trees, or take a thrill ride on one of the coasters at Micke Grove Fun Town Amuse- ment Park. At the San Joaquin Historical Museum, visitors can learn the deep history of the region, take in the antique tractor exhibit, visit the San Joaquin County Schoolhouse and tour the bang and clang of the blacksmith shop. The whole clan will enjoy a visit to the Serpentarium and the World of Wonders Science Museum, where you get a fun hands-on education. Bring your curiosity and a desire to discover, and you'll see that there is more magic to Lodi than what's in your glass.
