A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF LODI EXPRESSING ITS
OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 1717
(MACHADO)
---------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, local control is essential in order to be able to responsibly and
effectively provide local services; and
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of local government to manage, treat, and
dispose of sewage; and
WHEREAS, public/private partnerships have proven helpful in meeting this
responsibility; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi has noncontiguous annexed property used to assist
it in the reclamation, disposal, and storage of treated wastewater; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1717 (Machado) is a direct attack on local control and
therefore the ability of local government to provide services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Lodi City Council, that it strongly
opposes Senate Bill 1717 (Machado) due to its extremely intrusive nature into local
control by its attempt to dictate how a city utilizes property, which is legally within its
boundary and owned by that City.
