AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of the Community Improvement Award
MEETING DATE: July 5, 2000
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Mayor present Ramiro Mercado and Family with the Community
Improvement Award to recognize the improvements that they have made
to the residential property located at 505 E. Oak Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This is a residential property that has recently undergone a
complete renovation after having sat vacant and unattended for
several years. The son of the previous property owner who had
been living at the property, inititiated a substantial interior and
exterior remodeling project, unfortunately without the required building permits. What is even worse is
that the renovation work that was started by that individual, compromised the structural integrity of the
dwelling and created several unsafe and illegal conditions.
The new property owner, Ramiro Mercado, obtained a construction loan as part of the purchase and
had a contractor design plans and correct all the structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical, and
habitability deficiencies that had been created. The result is another completely rehabilitated, owner -
occupied single family dwelling on Lodi's Eastside and a property well worth recognition with the
Community Improvement Award.
