A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL SUPPORTING PROPOSITION
12 WATERSHED, WILDLIFE, AND PARKS IMPROVEMENT GRANT
APPLICATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF TREES FOR THE SOUTH
HUTCHINS STREET PROJECT, AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE APPLICABLE AGREEMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, the Urban and Community Forestry Program of the California Department
of Forestry & Fire Protection is requesting proposals from cities, counties, districts, and
nonprofit organizations to apply for Proposition 12 Grant funds; and
WHEREAS, the maximum amount of this grant request is $50,000.00, and will fund
applicants in support of the improvement of watershed, wildlife, and parks; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi is interested in applying for this grant to fund Phase III of
the South Hutchins Street project, consisting of tree plantings in the sidewalk area, i.e.,
replacing 47 trees that are in poor condition and planting 87 trees in currently empty tree wells,
and repairing the sprinkler system between Kettleman Lane and Harney Lane; and
WHEREAS, the filling of vacant tree wells along the sidewalk area will compliment the
South Hutchins Street median landscaping and will enhance the appearance of the City's main
entrance. The planting of trees will also suppress dust and increase shade, therefore reducing
the urban -heat-island effect.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby supports the
Proposition 12 Watershed, Wildlife, and Parks Improvement Grant Application for the purchase
of trees for the South Hutchins Street Project; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed
to execute the applications, contracts and/or agreements for the grant on behalf of the City of
Lodi.
