AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of Proclamation Recognizing Organizing Committee, Employees and
Volunteers for Amgen Tour of California
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2015
PREPARED BY: City Clerk
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of proclamation recognizing organizing committee,
employees and volunteers for Amgen Tour of California.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: America's most prestigious professional cycling event, the Amgen
Tour of California, held the finish of its second of eight stages in
Lodi at Hutchins Street Square on Monday, May 11, and was the
largest sporting event in Lodi in at least 65 years.
Bringing the Tour of California to Lodi would not have been possible without the hard work and financial
support of the community. The Local Operating Committee, headed by Bob Colarossi and Nancy
Beckman, prepared for months, and the community responded by donating the funds and materials
needed to make this effort a reality. Employees from the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Department, Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works Department and Information Systems
Division, and hundreds of volunteers were instrumental in preparing for and executing the event. As a
result, Lodi received worldwide exposure and attracted visitors from around the globe who enjoyed our
city's hospitality.
Mr. Colarossi, Ms. Beckman and others who took part in bringing the race to Lodi will be present to
accept the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
