A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROPRIATE
FUNDS FOR THE LODI ALL EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS EXPO
WHEREAS, in October of 2001, Council directed staff to explore the potential for
an emergency preparedness event that would be open to the public and would provide a
venue for organizations and vendors to promote both home and business emergency
preparedness; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager appointed staff to select a planning committee to
coordinate the City's first-ever "All Emergency Preparedness Expo" to be held Saturday,
April 13, 2002 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds; and
WHEREAS, this event will be free to the general public, and will feature all City of
Lodi departments and numerous organizations (both private and non-profit vendors will
rent a booth displaying their materials). The Expo's slogan is "Lodi Cares....Be
Prepared!'; and
WHEREAS, citizens attending the event will learn first-hand how best to prepare
for most types of home and/or business emergencies, including: natural disaster (flood,
earthquake, storms, etc.), fire, power outage, terrorist threat, gas or chemical leak/spill,
and more; and
WHEREAS, the Lodi All Emergency Preparedness Committee has four
subcommittees, including: Marketing and Community Outreach; Workshops and
Programs; Vendors; and Hospitality. The expo will also feature numerous presentations
or workshops on designated emergency preparedness topics; and
WHEREAS, based upon several planning committee meetings held thus far, a
cost of up to $15,000.00 has been identified for coordinating and delivering the Lodi All
Emergency Preparedness Expo. Committee members are diligently pursuing in-kind
donations of food, condiments, and beverages, as well as monetary donations to reduce
the amount of the City of Lodi's financial contribution for the event; and
WHEREAS, the planning committee hereby requests funding not to exceed
$15,000.00 in the event that monetary contributions do not materialize. It should also be
noted, that each private vendor renting a booth for the Lodi All Emergency Preparedness
Expo will be charged a fee of $250. The committee anticipates that between in-kind
contributions and vendor fees, the overall City expenditure for the event will be
significantly less than the requested $15,000.00.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
authorizes the City Manager to appropriate funds in the amount of $15,000.00 to fund
the Lodi All Emergency Preparedness Expo.
