Pluimer August 14, 1998 Lodi Parks & Recreabon Department 125 N. Stockton Street Lodi, CA 95240 To Whom It May Concern: This letber is to the comrnftnwe charged with the naming of the new City Park, on behalf of the current Pastoral Staff and Directors of Bethel Open Bible Churdr. The history of this church Corgi egation Is deeply roo> ed in the Nshxy of the M of l.+odl. This church has provided many people who have served this cornmu r ty as employees, deparUnmt heads, and City Council n snbm as well as, in the Mayors Am Bozant Katzaidan is one of the kdtviduals the have truly r+epresenGad this community Ike no caber. You have remved an aftnsive list of his community efforts and participation in all aspects of community service, as well as his outstanding leadership abilitles that have been utilized expensively. Hovdever, there Is another aspect of his life that is not weU knonn in this wmmunity, that of faithful support and attendance as a number of Bethel Open Bible Church. "Bo" helped facilitate the transaction that resulted in the aurrent location of the Lod News Sentinel, which was the former location of Bethel Open Bible Church. His negotiations enabled us to purchase our current location at 760 S. Ham Lane. He helped us subdivide and market surrounding parcels of ground that cleared all Indebtedness of this &An". Bo has served this church In the leadership of fundraising. He has faithfully supported this church with not only his faithful presence, but also his personal gifts and financial support. Mr. Katzakian has a deep personal faft in the Lori. He actively visits shut In nufters, people who are in the hospital and in rest homes. Even though Mr. Kattaklan has a very active life, he stili attends this church regularly and assists us In the courting, recording and depositing or all our funds. He has also astisisbed us In providing finances to help other members In the congregation. I am writing this letter because the spiritual interests and commatrnents of public servants are often overlooked. In this particular rase, I feel dot the naming of a park should honor someone who is truly deserves it. Someone who has provided a role model for the generations that fallow. A person whose name commends respect and honor. I can tthkhk of no person who Is more deserving of this honor then Bozant Katrakian. I trust that your committee will add wiedpe this outstanding community minded servant and role model by naming this new park after him. incerely, P stor 31m Plulmer & Directors el Open Bible Church 760 South Ham Lane 0 Lodi, California 95242 a (209) 334-6884 AUG -13-98 THU 2:51 FM SAKS FAI L. 1 209 333 1230 F. 3 r0 O �� C� s� /o d cl �� r`rc v I-J�e-7CJLOA(tfroc-(( CJ 1 47 ��� - /Q o oe.

Born and raised in the area, son of a local business owner, a war hero twice awarded the Purple Heart, among other awards, a father, a businessman, councilman, many times mayor, and a flag waving American chauvinist (in the true meaning of the world). A man of the people for the people, who was unafraid to take a stand for his beliefs and pursue what he felt was right Many of the things we enjoy about Lodi were brought about or lobbied for by Mr. Pinkerton. I do not feel that it is my province or necessary to engage in an in depth dissertation on the innumerable good deeds accomplished by this man, nor do I purport to know them all, as many things were done without fanfare or notice. Let it suffice to say that the 'people' of Lodi, when confronted with a 'city' problem felt Confidant that they would be meted justice' by talking with Jim . I feel it is now time for us to do 'Justice' to the memory of this rare individual and, as the family unit was always prime to his thinking, what better way than naming a family park in his honor?

Box 3006 Lodi, CA 95241-1910 It has come to our attention that some of Lodi's city parks are named for citizens who have served the community of Lodi. We would like to add the name of Ben Schaffer to the honoree list. In addition to being a great neighbor, he served on the Rivergate Mokelumne Homeowner's Association Board several times as a member and president. He has also been very active in his church and with several non profit organizations including the American Legion, Lodi Memorial Hospital Foundation, Hutchins Street Square and the list goes on. Ben was always very vocal at our annual Homeowner meetings with compliments and appreciation for his neighbors who were willing to serve on the Board. Ben has been missed since his death in 1997 and I'm sure that many people in Lodi would agree that this would be a wonderful way of remembering the many things in Lodi that Ben has played a major role in for the citizens of Lodi.

Box 3006 Lodi, CA 95241-1910 Over the years I have noted a number of city parks named for citizens who distinguished their residency in Lodi and most recently the well deserved honor given to Tom Peterson. In the future I hope the name of Ben Schaffer will be considered for a park name. In addition to being a popular and distinguished citizen, Ben headed many of our non profit organizations including the American Legion, Lodi Memorial Hospital Foundation, Hutchins Street Square and the list goes on. His service on the city council and being named mayor twice exemplified a commitment to this community. Ben's death in 1997 left a great void in the business community, service clubs where he continued to provide leadership, neighborhoods that he developed, his church and official government gatherings, where he continued to serve as master of ceremony. I have visited with several former mayors of Lodi and was encouraged by them to make this suggestion. I believe the people of Lodi would remember Ben as a man who only thought good of people and will always be described as a man without an enemy. Sincere , William Dauer P.S.
