AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of May "Community Improvement Award."
MEETING DATE: May 19, 1999
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Mayor present Ken Lung, Property owner and Proprietor of Lodi Tire
Service at 240 N. Cherokee Lane with the Community Improvement Award for
May 1999.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mr. Lung has operated Lodi Tire Service at 240 N. Cherokee Lane since
1992. In that time he has made improvements to the exterior of the
building. He has added flower boxes and awnings to the building and has
incorporated the historical Lodi Arch into his logo which is displayed on the
front of the building.
Most recently, Mr. Lung has aquired the adjacent property which contained an old abandoned service station. Mr.
Lung has demolished that service station and is working on painting the front of the remaining building in order to
maintain a more presentable fagade. It is for that kind of effort that Ken Lung has shown on this property for the
past seven years, that warrented the recognition of being selected to receive the Community Improvement Award
for May of 1999.
His nomination was put forth by Virginia Snyder of the Eastside Improvement Committee. That nomination was
reviewed by the Eastside Improvement Committee during their May 6"' Meeting, where Community Improvement
Staff presented a brief history on the property. His nomination was unanimously approved by that Committee.
FUNDING: None.
