PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Mayor Pennino present a proclamation proclaiming the month of

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Mayor has been requested to present a proclamation
proclaiming the month of April 2002 as "Keep California Beautiful
Month" in the City of Lodi. Community Improvement Manager
Joseph Wood who has been coordinating this as one of the several
activities for the Great American Clean Up campaign, will be present
at the meeting to accept the proclamation.
Lodi is one of over 10,000 communities nationwide that participate in the Great American Clean Up
campaign, which is coordinated nationally by Keep America Beautiful Inc., and at the state level by Keep
California Beautiful Inc. Those organizations provide a loose outline for activities for each affiliate to
follow and a multitude of support materials and equipment to further facilitate each city's effort. It is the
individual affiliate's responsibility to plan one or more events throughout the community to focus on
recycling, conservation, clean up and beautification efforts and other community improvement activities.
A schedule of Lodi's Great American Clean Up activities is attached.
One of those activities was a poster contest, which was coordinated through Central Valley Waste. The
winners of that poster contest are to be announced after this proclamation is received.
