PROPOSAL BY
A presentation was made by Mr. J. R. Jones
CHAMBER OF
regarding a Community Facility Needs Survey
COMMERCE FOR
stating that the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce
COMMUNITY
recognizing the loss of the old Lodi Union High
FACILITY NEEDS
School Auditorium, has given high priority to the
SURVEY
study of the need for such a facility in Lodi. The
Community Concerns Committee of the Lodi
District Chamber of Commerce has spent over a
year monitoring this issue and late in 1978 voted to
serve as the vehicle for assessing the community need.
Contact was made with the Arthur Sherman Co. in
Sacramento, a -professional fund-raising group. Mr.
Sherman, after much research, recommended that a
formal -study be conducted to determine what type of
auditorium/community center the people of Lodi
would want, if any, and where it should be located.
Several professional study groups were suggested.
The Community Concerns Committee has received
formal proposals from both the Marks-Goberand
Associates firm, Fresno, and the University of the
Pacific. Marks-Gobel and Associates firm would cost
in excess of $28, 000 plus reproduction costs. The
University of the Pacific, through the volunteer efforts
of Professor Harvey Williams, would utilize volunteers,
students, C. E. T. A. workers, etc. to produce a reliable,
effective measurement of the community's need for an
auditorium/cultural center for under $5, 000.00 to cover
costs.
The Lodi District Chamber of Commerce, acting on the
research and advice of its Community Concerns Com-
mittee, makes the following recommendations:
1. The Lodi City Council appoint a committee of five
persons who, under the guidance and direction of
Professor Williams, will conduct a community needs
feasibility study concerning the auditorium issue, and,
2. This committee be charged with preparing a list of
activities to be undertaken to perform this study along
with the estimated costs of each component.
3. The City Council then review the list of alternatives
available to satisfactorily conduct the study and the
estimated costs of same, and allocate up to $5, 000. 00
to perform the study.
Following Council discussion, Council, on motion of
Mayor Katzakian, Pinkerton second, approved a
Community Facility Needs Survey at a cost not to
exceed $5, 000. 00 with the Lodi District Chamber of
Commerce recommendations heretofore set forth by the
following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen - Pinkerton and Katzakian
Noes: Councilmen - McCarty
