AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of the November Community Improvement Award
MEETING DATE: November 3, 1999
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Mayor present Antonio Murguia, property owner and proprietor of
Camiceria California Deli, 620 S. Central Avenue, with the Community
Improvement Award for November 1999.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In June of this year, property owner and business proprietor Antonio
Murguia commissioned artist, Jose Arenas, to transform the exterior
of his business from a neutral gray wall of stucco that was
indistinguishable from many others throughout the neighborhood, to
a colorful display that celebrates the wonderful mix of Spanish, Mexican and American cultures that are
prevalent throughout Lodi, and especially concentrated within that East Lodi neighborhood.
The mural that resulted, was the finishing touch on the improvements that Mr. Murguia has made at this
property located at the corner of South Central Avenue and East Tokay Street in the past year. For his
efforts in improving his property, and in turn his neighborhood, he and his property were nominated and
unanimously approved for the Community Improvement Award.
