RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor Johnson to present certificates of appreciation to 2015
Leadership Lodi Class
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mayor Johnson will present certificates to the 2015 Leadership Lodi
Class. The Leadership Lodi Class of 2015 chose the Lodi Public
Library Children's Area Redesign as their project this year. The
group raised approximately $53,000 through donations and sponsors, which is the most raised by a
single class in the Leadership Lodi program's 25 year history. The redesign of the children's area
includes murals, new bookcases, tables, chairs, and the purchase of a new self -check system specifically
for children. Leadership Lodi volunteered hundreds of hours to work and complete this project over the
course of six months. In addition to selecting, purchasing, and assembling all furniture and equipment,
the group commissioned special pieces such as a bridge/play structure and a small table for the
children's self -check system to allow children to easily reach the unit to check out their own books. The
Library is grateful to the Leadership Lodi Class of 2015 for their hard work and dedication to the
community of Lodi.
