Mayor Chandler reported that this item appears on the agenda at his request to ask for Council
concurrence to approve a letter of support for the Lange Twins Winery grant application with the

asked for County support in this grant effort and is looking for additional support from the City of
Lodi.

community will be beneficial in the success of this federal grant opportunity. This project will
recycle water and make it close to drinking water level. Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne expressed
