Encouraging development of new businesses while retaining and revitalizing existing businesses: A ❖ Through our Economic Development Committee, and an excellent working relationship of the DLBP's Executive Director with the City's Economic Development Director (EDD), we have added over 15 new business to the downtown in the last year. We have helped facilitate their transition into the area. We have worked with the EDD by referring new prospective business owners and recommending the continuance and expansion of the fagade assistance program and other financial incentives. ❖ Our cooperative advertising program and retail promotions---i.e. Easter Bunny, Hallow9en, See's Candy, etc. ---have provided the small retailer with marketing programs that could not be accomplished on their own. Larger retailers have also benefited from these programs. Promoting retail activity by creating and maintaining a quality environment through coordinated advertising and Downtown events: ❖ We have improved the downtVwn environment by working cooperatively with the City by obtaining funding and executing the School Street Holiday lighting, the Downtown Banner program, the street cleaning, and police patrol programs. Our cooperative advertising program mentioned above --- crosses over into this category as well. ❖ Our events account for about, 75% of our marketing effort and have grown over the last three years. In the year 2000, we attracted over 80,000 people to our "Community Shopping Center" with events such as the Parade of Lights, Kiddie Parade, Farmers Market, and other promotional eventg. While that was a record, we are well on�our way to equaling or surpassing this figure in the year 2001. Each one of these events has improved every year since the DLBP was formed. W o This years Kiddie Parade ---a free community program sponsored by the DLBP--- currently has 1,471 children entered, and is well on it's way to record participation. This will also attract at least 3,000 spectators on the day of the parade. o The Farmers Market & Festival is attracting record numbers of people every Thursday night. Our average attendance has gone from P.O. Box x'565 Lodi, CA 95241 (209) 369-8052 FAX (209) 369-8053 Office located at 4 W.

We have had four nights this season where we attracted over 4,000 people. Serving as an advocate for Downtown businesses in dealing with local government, maintenance projects, the media, and the general public. ❖ Parking has been the most burning concern and issue for the last 18 months. The parking committee, with its representatives from business, city staff, and the DLBP's Executive Director, have guided the solutions for a very complex, emotional situation, to the best resolution possible. ❖ We have advocated for other changes, besides parking, on issues such as transient people problems, the moving of the Salvation Army, skate boarding, and other daily situations that confront any shopping area in general, and the Downtown specifically. ❖ Our office currently fields over 400 call per month, 80% of which come from the public, regarding events, parking permits ---which we help administer --- business complaints, business successes, request for assistance on parking,. tree trimming, clehning of the Downtown area, on a daily basis. While we are very proud of these accomplishments, we will continue to improve on • each situation and opportunities that present themselves. This next year promises to be very exciting ---from the�opening of the Stadium 12 Theater to the completion of the Elm Street project, and the Parking facility on Sacramento Street. We are a work in progress ---and iust beginning a new renaissance for our Downtown Community Shopping Center. This is a great example of a governmental, privet business connection ----that .. accomplishes so much, at an affordable price. We trust that this partnership will continue to grow and prosper! P.O.

Pine Street, Lodi (corner of Pine d Sacramento St.) e-mail dlbp@mindspring. com Background & History----- Dowdtown Lodi Business Partnership -2001/2002 Report The Downtown Business Improvement District ---is the central core of the City of Lodi. Like any city, the Downtown area is the City's heart, soul and face. Before revitalization took place, there had been over 20 years of neglect and miss -management of the downtown area. This was normal for almost all cities across the United States. The heart of our city was in the process of dying, the soul had lost most of it's reason to live, the face was not something to be proud of. Today is a different story, The City, along with its partners ---the land owners, and business investors, and the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership ---have begun to turn things around. But it is just that ---- a beginning ---we are a work in progress. The City basically owns the infrastructure of a large "shopping center," ---spread out over many blocks, instead of being concentrated in a grouping of buildings similar to the format of privately owned shopping centers. This shopping center is called ---Your Downtown Community Shopping Center. Along with the businesses and merchants ---being represented by the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership (DLBP)---the City staff manages the parking, maintains the streets, sidewalks, parking lots, trees, etc,. It sets up rules for events, and works with the DLBP on the many normal business situations that arise on a daily basis in our "Downtown Shopping Center." The DLBP is your front line management for our Community Shopping Center. The DLBP has been in existence for a little over two years. The first nine months were mostly spent on organizational tasks and recruiting volunteers, starting various events, and keeping old events going. We hired a fulltime Executive Director in June, 1999---- much was accomplished„ during the first year: Started an office and moved to new ---more permanent quarters in January 2000 n Installed computer and bookkeeping system ---finalized in 2001 • Took over assessment billing from the City starting January 1, 2000 ■ Increased collection enforcement of delinquent assessments P.O.

Our focus in the next six months will be to review all events and programs for improvements, changes, upgrades or elimination. Some new items will be added as our synergy continues to &ange with the influx of new and different businesses to Downtown. Our basic marketing plan is to use the many events listed above as the primary tool of showing off our beautiful Downtown area. With most of the events, we work hand in hand with City staff. These events take a great deal of detailed coordination for which the DLBP office is responsible. We have set up monthly cooperative advertising programs ---this is where the merchants pay for their individual ad, and the DLBP sets the theme and pays for the header. This gives the small merchant the benefit of a full page ad ----which they could not otherwise afford. P.O. Box 1565 Lodi, CA 95241 (209) 369-8052 FAX(209)369-8053 Office /ocatet'at 4 W.

You cannot rebuild in five years that which has been subjected to over twenty five years of deterioration and neglect. Downtowns everywhere will never be the same --- -those who think this way are living in the past. The Downtown that we are just beginning to rebuild, will only slightly resemble the Downtown areas of the past generations. That's as it should be ----business is no longer conducted as in the past. What we can, and are doing is to preselve the good things of the past generations, and bend them with the new concepts. There is not one city that we can give you as an example, that does not fund it's Downtown organization ---in various manners, from direct cash funding, collection of assessments, providing offices, setting up parking districts run the DBA ----and in a lot of cases, has for many years---- more than our city. The most successful ones ---Davis, Pleasanton, Chico, Modesto, Paltndale, Walnut Creek, Stockton, Pasadena, Sacramento (now has over 5 DBAs), and many others ----continue to fund their Downtown organizations. Most, if not all, of these cities have increased their funding levels over the years as the success of the downtowns continue. Our success ----the City of Lodi and the Downtown Business Partnership, working together ----is just beginning.. If imitation is any gauge of that success, the Cities of Manteca and Tracy are looking at our example to duplicate, then we are doing something right. Our businesses in the "Downtown Shopping Center" pay a mandatory assessment ---unlike their counterparts in the traditional shopping centers. Most do so gladly, recognizing the tremendous benefit of doing things on a cooperative basis that cannot be accomplished. individually. Yes, in , most cases they also have lower rents ---which is currently justified by being in, what most would consider, a tough, risky business area. However, as the Downtown continues to change for the better, the low rents are starting to disappear and the assessment will remain. The vast majority of the business recognize the importance of the DLBP --- but some never will --- just because of the nature of assessments. This is the distinct difference between the two "Shopping Center" situations. This is not unique to Lodi ----it is a common and on going challenge facing all assessment district across the country. We are meeting these challenges and ---- WE ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN THIS PARTNERSHIP P.O. Box 1565 Lodi, CA 95241 (209) 369-8052 FAX(209)369-8053 Office located at 4 W.
