City Attorney
On behalf of the Lodi City Council and the citizens of Lodi and north San Joaquin
County, I strongly protest your public hearing schedule which does not include a hearing
in San Joaquin County.
While Bay -Delta issues are of statewide concern, the heart of the Delta is located in San
Joaquin County. This is the location of many of the facilities which would be built and
operated under the outcome of the CALFED process. It is inconceivable that those
citizens who will be directly affected by these facilities and operations are not being
provided a convenient location to participate in the public hearing process.
If you need assistance in securing a location, we would be glad to offer our help. Please
contact City Clerk Alice Reimche at (209) 333-6702.
