A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
REDESIGNATING THE "CREPE MYRTLE" AS THE
OFFICIAL TREE OF THE CITY OF LODI
WHEREAS, many years ago, the Crepe Myrtle was designated as the official tree
of the City of Lodi; and
WHEREAS, following the designation, the Lodi Rotary Club each year would
recognize this fact by providing each of its members with a small Crepe Myrtle tree for
planting, and this community -spirited gesture by the Lodi Rotary Club has played a
significant part in the abundant plantings of this lovely tree in Lodi; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi Year 2000 Celebration Committee is attempting to
look back into the history of our community as well as providing a glimpse into the future
as we enter the new millennium; and
WHEREAS, the Committee felt it would be appropriate to have the City Council
redesignate the Crepe Myrtle as the official tree of the City of Lodi as a part of the Year
2000 Celebration; and
WHEREAS, the three Lodi Rotary Clubs in an effort to further this tradition, will
purchase 600 trees and distribute them to their members, so that the plantings of these
beautiful trees will add beauty and charm to our community for many years to come.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lodi
hereby redesignates the "Crepe Myrtle" tree as the official tree of the City of Lodi.
