COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: San Joaquin Partnership Board of Directors Seat
MEETING DATE: April 20, 1994
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the appropriation of
$5,000 to enable the City of Lodi to be entitled to a
seat on the Board of Directors of the San Joaquin
Partnership.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since the formation of the San Joaquin Partnership
approximately two years ago, the City of Lodi has
subscribed an annual contribution of $15,000. A seat
on the Board of Directors requires an annual contribution of $20,000. The City
of Lodi is the second largest city in San Joaquin County and our City is
currently grouped with the cities of Lathrop, Ripon and Escalon as non -board
members. These four cities have a rotating seat on the board. This City is
currently represented on the board by a representative from the City of Ripon.
The City of Lodi has embarked on an aggressive Economic Development program.
The City Council has approved the creation of the position of Economic
Development Coordinator. If we are to seriously portray our City as a "player"
in the economic development field, then it is recommended that the City hold a
seat on the Board of Directors of the San Joaquin Partnership. The decisions
made by the board are significant to the economic future of this City and the
County. We should be a part of this decision-making process. If for no other
reason than image alone, we should hold a seat on the board. If nothing else,
it sends the message to the rest of the County and to industrial and commercial
prospects that the City of Lodi is sincere in its pursuit of economic
development.
FUNDING: Contingent Fund
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas A. Peterson
