AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of the Community Improvement Award
MEETING DATE: September 20, 2000
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Mayor present Pacific, Gas and Electric and the artists
responsible for painting the mural on PG&E's property at 233 N. Cherokee
Lane, with the Community Improvement Award to recognize such an
outstanding contribution to this community.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: To put it very simply, a blank wall along one of Lodi's most traveled
streets and at one of Lodi's busiest intersections which serves as
an entry to this city has been transformed into a beautiful work of
art which celebrates the history and cultural heritage of our fine
city.
Those to be recognized for this project are Pacific Gas and Electric, who owns the property where the
wall is located and whom paid for half of the costs for materials for this project; and, all the artists under
the guidance of Suzanne Kennedy and Kathy Price who toiled under the beating July sun and who
worked until all daylight was gone. Those artists are Jessica Provience, Melody Price, Ashby Utting,
Sayra Salas, Ingrid Imhof and Kelsey Cardoni.
For their wonderful contribution to this community, the Community Improvement Award is a fitting
recognition and will be a lasting recognition when the Community Improvement Award sign is actually
painted into the mural.
