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.
