BALLOT MEASURE ENACTING A SALES TAX RATE INCREASE
FOR LIBRARIES PURPOSES IS SUCCESSFUL
WHEREAS, this Council has adopted Resolution No. 95-83 supporting legislation

WHEREAS, this Council has adopted Resolution No. 95-84 supporting a ballot
measure to increase the sales tax rate in San Joaquin County by 1 /8th cent to supplement
funding of the Lodi Public Library;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lodi
