HEARING TO RECEIVE

PROTECT The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson who had
been advised that the developers of the project had
CC -6 requested that the hearing be continued for another two
CC -55 weeks and indicating that they would be more than willing
to discuss this with representatives of the downtown
business community.

Association reported that the Association had voted
overwhelmingly in opposition of the project.
Mr. John Borelli, President of the Lodi District Chamber of
Coerce reported that the Chamber Board of Directors voted
to express their opposition to any financial assistance
that would be provided through City involvement in the
Hotel Lodi renovation project. Mr. Borelli further stated

that would negate those efforts.
Ms. Susan Baxter, 6 South School, Lodi, presented a
petition bearing approximately 400 signatures reading as
follows:
"We, the undersigned representing the Lodi Downtown
Business Association, concerned merchants and citizens, go
on record in opposition to the use of the Hotel Lodi as a
housing project -
This is in direct conflict to everything we have been taxed
for as an Improvement District and will only serve to
destroy our Downtown Lodi Community."

Snider, Olson second, continued this Public Hearing to the
Regular Council Meeting of September 3, 1986.
