AGENDA TITLE: Present Proclamation of Appreciation to Michael David Family Foundation
MEETING DATE: November 2, 2016
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor Chandler present a Proclamation of Appreciation to Michael
David Family Foundation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Michael David Family Foundation has been a generous
community partner with the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Department over a number of years.
Most recently, the Michael David Family Foundation held its annual Reggae and Rhone fundraiser, with
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services (PRCS) receiving $20,230 from the proceeds. PRCS plans to
use these dollars to supplement its capital program to benefit Lodi Lake Park.
Earlier this year, the Foundation contributed $7,500 so that PRCS could operate a free summer
recreation program at Blakely and Hale parks, which are in two of Lodi's lowest -income neighborhoods.
The drop-in program provided children in those areas safe and adult -supervised recreation activities
throughout the summer.
Previously, the Foundation backed free swimming programs at Blakely Park, consistently showing its
interest in partnering with PRCS to eliminate financial obstacles for those with little means, and to assist
with projects that benefit the community overall. For that, PRCS asks that Mayor Chandler present the
Michael David Family Foundation with a Proclamation of Appreciation. David Phillips will represent the
Foundation in accepting the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
