Re: Lodi Senior Citizens Housing Committee
Gentlemen:
As you know the above Committee has been meeting at the
Council's direction for almost one year.
We have sought solutions to the problem of providing
affordable housing for seniors and have endorsed efforts by others
to provide said housing, namely, the proposed Hotel Lodi renovation
and conversion.
Our frustrations are not unlike those of others seeking such
solutions.
With the formation of the county -wide ad hoc committee calling
itself "Building A Partnership For Affordable Housing" we've
reassessed our committees purpose and value.
we've concluded the following:
1. The City of Lodi should continue and strengthen its
support of the above noted county -wide Committees
2. The Lodi Senior Citizens Commission should direct
some of its energy toward advocating inclusion of
affordable senior housing in Lodi as a part of any
county -wide plan.
3. The best hope for affordable senior housing in Lodi
is to join forces with the county -wide Committee.
Each individual member of our Committee expressed
an interest in helping in whatever capacity needed.
Based upon the above, we've resolved that to continue as a
committee would create duplication, confusion and not be
productive.
Therefore, we recommend that the Lodi City Council conclude
and disband this Committee and turn it's attention toward providing
representation and support to the county -wide Committee noted
above.
The Committee members also asked me to convey to you our
appreciation for the honor and privilege of serving on this
Committee.
Thank you for your consideration of our recommendations.
Sincerely,
Lo. -?.i Senior Citizens Housing Committee
