PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Warner called for the Public Hearing to
consider appropriation of existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund front line
municipal police services, in accordance with written requests submitted by the Police
Chief, pursuant to AB3229.
Hearing Opened to the Public
Bob Johnson, 1311 Midvale Road, Lodi, questioned the necessity of proposed
budget item #11 for one infrared detection system for $10,000. As the Police
Chief stated earlier, there is only one City with this type of equipment. If it is not
used by many cities, why would we want to buy one. Instead the money could be
put toward doubling the moneys to the Eastside Improvement Committee, Gang
Alternative Project (GAP) and the Parks and Recreation youth activities;
2. Colleen Dixon, 333 Hilborn, Lodi, urged that the City Council give strong
consideration for the at -risk youth programs. They are vital programs that we
need desperately; and
3. Janet Graham, 5750 Fairlane Road, Acampo, expressed the need for a computer
at Hale Park. She runs a computer class for at -risk youth, and a computer is vital
at this location.
