Assessment District No. 95-1 The City Council of the City of Lodi proposes to form the above Assessment District, that includes your property, to fund the improvements proposed to be constructed for the revitalization of the Downtown Business Area and Civic Center, the improvement of the Cherokee Lane Business Area of the City, and the retirement of the balance of the bonds issued in 1984. Before taking final action on this proposal, the City Council will hold a PUBLIC MEETING and a PUBLIC HEARING at the CARNEGIE FORUM, 305 WEST PINE ST., LODI, CALIFORNIA, as follows: PUBLIC MEETING: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1996, at 7:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1996, at 7:00 P.M. At the Public Meeting the Council will hear all public testimony regarding the proposed new assessment. At the Public Hearing the Council will hear all testimony and/or protests in relation to its proposal, and will consider and determine: (a) whether the public interest and convenience require the improvements and assessments, (b) final action upon the Engineer's report and the assessment, and (c) whether the owners of a majority of the area of the property in the assessment district have protested against the proposed improvements, the extent of the assessment district, or to the proposed assessment. Any interested person may object to the proposed improvements, the extent of the assessment district, or to the proposed assessment by filing a written protest with the City Clerk. The protest must be signed by the property owner, show a description of the property (the above Parcel Number is sufficient) and evidence of ownership if not on the last equalized assessment roll. Such protests must be received by the City Clerk at or before the above time of the PUBLIC HEARING on Wednesday, April 10, 1996, at 7:00 P.M. The Department of Public Works, 221 West Pine Street, Lodi, California 95241, Richard Prima, Telephone (209) 333-6706, are the local department and person designated by the City Council to answer inquiries regarding the assessment and protest proceedings. The total estimated cost of the proposed improvements and the retirement of the Prior Bonds, with the incidental expenses related to both, is the sum of $6,265,518, of which the City of Lodi is contributing the estimated sum of $3,139,487, leaving an estimated balance of $3,126,031 to be assessed to the property owners and charged according to benefit to each parcel of property, including your property; the proposed assessment against your property is shown above opposite your name and address. Following the date of the Public Hearing a 30 day period will be allowed for full or partial payment of assessments in cash at the option of the property owner. All unpaid assessments will be financed by the issuance of bonds in the proceedings, with proper portions of each assessment posted in installments to the general property tax bills to pay off the bonds, and an additional maximum 2% of the installment to pay costs incurred by the City and not otherwise reimbursed which result from the administration and collection of assessments or from the administration or registration of the bonds and bond reserve or other related funds. The total principal amount of unpaid assessments already levied against all property proposed to be assessed is the sum of $125,000. The City proposes to call the outstanding bonds in that amount and to include the cost in this proceeding. The assessments for the cost of retiring these bonds will be charged on a prorata basis and assessed only to those parcels having unpaid assessments for the Prior Bonds. A protest made by the owners of more than one-half of the area of the land to be assessed for the improvements will cause the proceedings and assessment to be abandoned for a period of one year from the date of the decision of the Council on the hearing, unless the protests are overruled by an affirmative vote of four-fifths of the members of the Council. The proposed improvements are generally described as follows: Project "A" Downtown Area - The installation of new sidewalks and curb returns (bow cuts), street lighting, street trees, information kiosks, gateway structure and various pedestrian amenities, together with related electrical and irrigation facilities, along School Street from Lodi Avenue to Locust Street and on Pine and Oak Streets from Church Street to Sacramento Street. Project "B" Cherokee Lane Area - The installation of a new street lighting system with new poles and fixtures at appropriate intervals, each side of the street, and a landscaped median with openings at appropriate locations, together with related electrical and irrigation facilities, along Cherokee Lane from Pioneer Drive to Century Boulevard. The improvements shall also include the acquisition of all lands and easements necessary for such installation and the doing of any and all work auxiliary to any of the above and necessary to complete the same. Reference is hereby made to the Engineer's Report, including preliminary plans and specifications, and to Resolution No. 95-123 adopted by the City Council on September 20, 1995, all on file in the office of the City Clerk, for a more particular description of the improvements and assessments, and for further particulars.

The physical improvements which are proposed to be constructed in the Downtown Zone and the Cherokee Lane Zone, and which are proposed to be funded in part by the Lodi Central City Revitalization Assessment District, are but one component of this comprehensive revitalization strategy. Reference is made to the document entitled "City of Lodi, Central City Revitalization Program, Concept Development Phase" prepared for the City of Lodi by the urban design and planning firm of Freedman, Tung & Bottomley (FTB) in which the goals and objectives of the program, and how they were developed, are discussed in detail.

".

Those specific benefits anticipated to accrue both directly and indirectly to the Downtown Remainder parcels will include, but will not be limited to: 1. Increased consumer vehicular traffic to the Lodi Central City area, which will translate into increased exposure to consumers and a corresponding increase in revenue generating opportunities. 2. Increased property values resulting from the improved economic and physical environment of the Lodi Central City area, in general. 3. Eligibility for incentive programs being developed by the City of Lodi as a separate component of this comprehensive program. Cherokee Lane Zone (Zone B) Benefits Those parcels located in the Cherokee Lane Zone (Zone B) are expected to directly benefit from the physical improvements which will be constructed along the immediate frontage of those parcels along Cherokee Lane, and from Page 22 the business development strategies being formulated by the City of Lodi in support of the goals and objectives of the Lodi Central City Revitalization Program_ The specific benefits anticipated to accrue directly to the Cherokee Lane Zone parcels will include, but will not be limited to: 1.
