2019-20 Goals and Draft Revisions to Committee Purpose

The Committee reflected on its purpose as described in its by-laws and came up with draft goals for the next year. At the recent September meeting, the draft goals were presented to the public. Approximately 15 community members were present, and many provided feedback regarding these goals. Comments were generally supportive of goals and several community members offered support. Organization represented included ABCD Leadership Team, Lodi Garden Club, Catholic Charities, Turner Wineries, Adventist Health, and Tree Lodi. The Committee heard all comments and then adopted these goals for its 2019-20 fiscal year. However, these goals may be revised or new goals added/removed through-out the year. The 2019-20 goals are as follows:

1. Support leadership among Heritage residents through ABCD program by: a. providing support to the ABCD program through mentoring project leaders, participating in monthly meetings, supporting workshops, promoting events, and resources/connections, and b. providing recognition of ABCD Cycle 3 projects through an LIC award. 10-01 LIC 2018-19 Annual Accomplishments and Goals Report Page 3 of 3

2. Develop viable urban communities as regulated by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and further implemented in the City’s Consolidated Plan. LIC members will: a. conduct community outreach on priority needs and goals for the annual CDBG application cycle, and b. score applications and recommend projects and funding to the City Council.

3. Support visionary community development projects through research, then solicit feedback from the community, staff, experts, and other stakeholders to determine feasibility; identify funding opportunities; present to committees and City Council; and create sub-committees for long-term implementation. Current visionary projects include: a. Greenline project b. Shade tree design standards c. Public garden d. Parking space reductions

4. Promote LIC’s goals through attendance at fairs/community events, meeting with community leaders, and presentations to the City Council twice a year.

5. Promote greater interest in LIC and civic engagement by holding at least one LIC meeting in an alternative location.

6. Reduce homelessness and increase affordable homeownership by: a. supporting the Lodi Committee on Homelessness by attending LCOH monthly meetings, b. researching land trust options for creating affordable housing options for people experiencing homelessness, and c. researching homebuyer programs and sources of funding.

7. Recognize properties and community service leaders for their dedication to improving Lodi by: a. identifying and awarding properties, communities, and leaders, and b. collaborating with other groups already doing this (Tree Lodi).

The Committee also found that its existing Committee purpose could be refined to better reflect current community needs and member skills. Additionally, Committee members found current by-laws to be instructive on what negative conduct or circumstances to stop and less instructive on the actions necessary to prevent those. Instead, the Committee aims to have revised by-laws that are directive in the preventive solutions and actions that the Committee members can take that would create physical improvements, enhance sense of community/place, empower residents, provide resources to the disadvantaged or poor, and beautify Lodi, especially the Heritage District. The draft revisions are provided in Attachment A. The Committee presented these revisions at its September meeting and gathered feedback from the public.

FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact.

FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.

B TOP|C(S)

Chairperson Castro welcomed the City Council and membsrs of the public who were in attendance, Ms. Castro presented Council with the proposed amsnded bylaws of the East Side lmprovement Committee (filed). The Committee requested that Council review ihe amended bylaws and set it for approval at a fi.¡ture meeting. ln response to Mayor Hansen, Ms. Castro confirmed that the City Aitorney has not reviewed the recommended changes to the bylaws. As requested, a copy of the original bylaws will be provided to Council.

Council Member Hitchcock asked for clarification of the language in $ection 2 (c), which reads, "To act as an advocate for eastside residents in issues dealing with City controlled infrastructure improvements." Committee Member Beswick explained that this refened to Ëêwêr, water, and wastewater infrastructure improvements already in progress. Council Member Howard suggested that the improvements be included under its goals.

Review and discussion followed regarding the following goals and objectives of the Committee.

Better communication. both internall!¡ and extemally

agencies, and representatives. Council Member Land suggested the Comrnittee also contact commercial and national banks as they are required, under the Community Reinvestment Act, to give back to the community by providing investments, donations, bonds, community service hours, and loans at affordable rates for low-incoqe årêas. ln response to Ms, Castro, Mr. Land stated he would be willing to assist the Committee in this area.

site, and newspaper coverage, Committee Member Asghar stated that the Committee would like a link on the City of Lodi's Web sita directed to a site specifically for the East Side lrnprovement Commitlee. lnterim City Manager Keeter stated that staff would help develop lhe site and provide the línk. Council Member Hitchcock suggested that the Committee Members each have a link for members of the public to email them with quostlons or concorns, as do the Council Members. It was suggested that the East Side lmprovement Committee designate a contact person to work with City staff. PUBLIT COMMENTS: æ A concerned citizen commented that many people are unaware of the east side boundaries and further suggested that they be expanded to include the area from the railroad tracks to Cherokee Lano, to which Mayor Pro Tempore Beckman responded that the proposed new bylaws describe the east side area. l''. .; :ï,{Å}l1}::l* i ¡:{å.:{:{.'}fii"}

Ms. Asghar exprêssed the Cornmittee's dêsirê to bring ln someone to teach board development (i,e. responsibllities of the staff liaison and board members, propôr way ln which to conduct a meeting, etc,). Mayor Hansen stated that this parallels with the Chamber of Commerce Leadership Lodi program, which covers city and county governrnent functions. He suggested that one to two Ëast Side lmpncvement Committee members participate in the program and share the lnformation with the rest of the Committee. Mayor Pro Tempore Beckman suggested a Govemment Day be set up for board and commission members, to which Mayor Hansen agreed it would be beneficial to educate board members on departmental functions. ln reply to Ms. Keeter, Ms. Asghar stated that the Committee was more specifically interested in how to run meetings; however, the suggestion regarding training on government functions would also be of interest. City Attorney Schwabauer commented thât h€ and the City Manager could conduct a training session on how to efiectively run a meeting. Council Member Hitchcock added lhat the cost for team-building sessions is quite expensive and suggested thal there may bs a member of the public willing to perform this function at no cost. ln response to Mr. Beswick, Committee Member St. Yves stated that lhe reason for the large public attendance at tonight's meeting was due mainly in part to her calling pøople urging them to attend. PUBLIC COMMENTS: oo Virginia Lahr suggested that the Gommittee contact Comcast, the cable TV provider, to asslst with advertising. ln the past, the cable company provided rolllng advertisements and weekly half-hour segments at no charge.

Grants and fundraisin$

Tiffani Fink, Transportation Manager, reported that the Gity received $60,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding to install ten bus shelters with benches on the east side. The exact locations are yet to be determined, and the Committee is willing to assist in obtaining pernission from property owners for the placement of the shelters. Also in progress is an E- MAP (Eastside Mobility Accese Plan) Grant for sidewalks, lighting, etc.

Ms, St. Yves reported that General Mills awarded the Committee a grant in the amount of $2,500 to install 150 smoke detectors in homes of low-income residents, as well as a grant for motion detectors. lnstructions were provided on how to install the detectors and how to change the batteries. Electric Utility staff will assist the Committee in setting up this program. Council Member Howard questioned if residents would be required to slgn a walver to snsurê the City is not held liable should something happen (i.e. detectors not installsd properly or not kept in working condition). Ms. St. Yves responded that residents would attest to the fact that the detectors were installed and are operable. Council Member Hitchcock suggested the Committee contact Electric Utility regarding possible use of Public Bensf¡ts Program funds.

NOTF: Council Member Land left the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

that will provide identified locations for children going to and from school to go to if they feel threatened or in danger. Committee Member Spinelli explained that the Safe House Program, vùtich existed several yearc ago, would designate certain homes as a safe haven for children to go to for safety. Additionally, Mr. Spinelli suggested that school children be trained to drop their backpacks and run if they are accosted; otherwise, they could easily trip or be grabbed. The designated Safe Houses would have flags that are visible to and easily recognizable by the children. Mayor Hansen suggested that the Police Department survey other law enforcement agencies on the successes and challenges of their programs. Police Lieutenant Virgil Monroe added that monitoring the program would be difficult, with background checks and owners of Safe Houses moving; however, those challenges could be overcome. PUBLIC COMMENTS: æ Virginia Lahr expressed concern that there are three rehabilitation centers (for those with drug and alcohol addictions or with behavioral conditions, such as schizophrenia) on the 400 block of Pine Str€êt and complained that law makers are unable to deny requests for the establishment cf these centers.

Grants and fundraising

funding that will allow the City to provide services lost through cutbacks. Ms, Asghar informed Council that the Committee upuld like to raise funde and apply for grants and requested that the Committee be provided a copy of "Grant Station," a publication of the League of Califomia Cities that lists avallable grant opportunities. Ms. Keeter responded that the Committee may be able to subscribe to this seruice; if not, City staff can forward the publication via e-mailto the Committee contact person. Council Member Hitchcock suggested that the Committee also look at the State and Federal Web sites for potential grants. Ms. Asghar further requested that, should the City use a grant locator in the future, the East Side lmprovement Committee be included. PUBLIC COMMENTS: ú Virginia Lahr stated that the Community Coalition in Stockton aids non-profit groups and that she would provide the Committee with the name of the contact person.

Continue on{oino actívities and functions

Committee Member Yadav reported that he has been working to update the financial records of the committee (back to 1999) and requested assistance from the Finance Department with setting up the books.

Ms. St. Yves reported that the number of rentals in the City over the years has increas€d fom approximately 22% lo 47%. ln regard to the rehabilitation centers, Ms. St. Yves suggasted contacting Assemblymembers Nakanishi and Aghazarian as they havo been helpful on this matter in the past, Some landowners are local and do not properly maintain theír properties; others live out of the City and hire property managem€nt firms to handle their properties. Classes are available for rental residents, as well as for property owners; however, allendance is usually very low and many landlords do not attend unless forced to do so,

Confiaaed Augast I 7, 2004

PUBLIC COMMENTS: co A concerned citizen suggested that mortgage companles better educate home owners as to their responsibilities as a property owner and neighbor. There are 15 people living in the house next to her and the landlord routinely ignores her complaints. æ A concerned citizen suggested that Code Enforcement work closely with the Fire Department in enforcing fire code violations, such as small window exils and air conditioning units blocking escapes. This represents a dangerous condition, especially when there are large groups of people living in the home. Additionally, the greater number of people æuse$ congested streets with the additional cars parked along the curbs. On the 4 of July, the Fire Department could nol get through to put out ã firê caused by fireworks. These neighborhoods were not designed for that many people.

Joseph Wood, Community lmprovement Manager, explained that there is a formula based on square footage used to determine appropriate number of residents in a home. This formula, established by the State l-busing Code, is quite liberal, and the City is required to abide by it. Unfortunately, a number of the complaints regarding overpopulation in homes meet the legal lirnits set foñh in the code.

cp A concerned citizen complained of neighbors in the 900 block d South Central who have animals that are not properly cared for. The mess and odor are a health issue, and there are rnedically-fragile children who live near this home. There are flre hazards on this property, and these conditions cause her property value to decrease. She opined that lhese conditions would not be tolerated and would be taken care of immediately if they existed on the west side of town. Mayor Hansen recognized the frustration sf the situalion; howevêr, pointed out that these conditions ald situations are occurring throughout town, not just on the east side. He suggested contacting animal control and the health department and further requested that Community lmprovement look into the situation. Mr. Wood responded that a complainl on this location was received by his ofüce last Thursday; staff has already inspected the residence and wíll be issuing an order. cô A concemed citizen suggested that code enforcement officers check properties in the evenlng when people are home from work, to which Mr. Wood responded that staff wlll make special anangements when necessary. ln reply to Ms. Castro, Mr. Wood repoded that in June his office received 83 complaints, 75 in July, and 45 for the first half of August. There are 500 cases, most of which are on the east side.

oö A concerned citizen expressed that there are not enough code enforcement officers to handle the complaints. Mayor Pro Tempore Beckman suggested that this is due to no apartment complexes being built in Lodi for ovêr a decade.

Committee Member Golladay stated that the frustration level for residents is high and enforcement is not adequate. He suggested that problem areas be targeted with some Triendly heat" and that programs, such as the smoke detector program, be used to obtain entry into a home, at which tíme noticeable violations could be cited.

Ms. Castro suggested that when developers obtain permits for 100 units an agreemenl be made that 10 to 20 units be placed on the êast side of lown. oo Bob Johnson reminded Council and Committee Members that years ago residents brought fon¡rard nuisance lawsuits against landlords/properly owners and questioned íf this was still an option.

Contluaed August 17, 2004

co Virginia Lahr responded that the lawsuits were quite successful; howâver, the former City Attorney, Randy Hays, put a halt to them in order to review the Committes's role under the umbrella of the City; that was eight years ago and nothing was ever resolved. The lawsuits were a last resort effort to get landlords to comply. City Attorney Schwabauer explained that lhere is nothing preventing citizens to file private nuisance lawsuits against property own€rs. Additionally, tho City Attomey's Offlce has the authority to file publlc nuisance lawsuits, which is on a broader context. Mr. Schwabauer believed that Mr, Hays' concern was most likely that members of the East Side lmprovement Commitlee were practicing law without a license, given that members were giving advice on private nuisance lawsuits. Advlce in this matter should more appropriately come from the City Attorney's Office. Mayor Hansen stressed again that, as citizens, the option to ffle a prlvate nuisance lawsuit on issues such as odor, traffic, number of people, etc. is available and can be done easily by filing a complaint with the small claims court for a minimalfee.

@ A concerned citizen cautioned that these lawsuits are not always the perfect answer. She was involved in a successful lawsuit, which wâs åppealed to the Superior Court and overlumed. Those who sued were then forced to pay the landlord. Council Member Howard suggested a different approach of legally dealing with visible and obvious violations, such as expired licenseiregistration on vehicles parked in overcrowded areas, etc. Police Lieutenant Monroe confirmed that the Police Department can tow vehicles; however, there is a time limil (registration must be expired lhree months or more).

æ A concerned citizen stated that police otficers do not seem to interact with kids in the neighborhoods as much as they once did. Lieutenant Monroe responded that there are School Resource Officers assigned to the schools and officers still stop to talk with the kids as often as they can; however, hê was unsure how often it occurred in this particular neighborhood.

co A concerned citizen complained about the following issuss in lhe g00 block of South Central and added that he would be willing, as a citizen, to pay more taxes to fund additional police officers: ,* pigeons and dogs; * number of cars parked on the streat; ,* speeding fraffic-speed limit should more appropriately be 25 to 30 mph; bike lanes should be installed to slow traffic; and a stop sign should be installed at Poplar and Central; * loud music; and ,¡, crime-increase police patrol or use Partners day and night to help reduce gang activity.

Lieutenant Monroe stated that radar trailers are used to collect data on whether or not speed limits ae being exceeded and what time of day is more problematic. Additionally, the Police Department has scheduled gang operations in the area for the upcoming weekend. Council Member Hitchcock stated that speeding is the number one issue for most neighborhoods and it will never be eliminated completely, especially on collector streets like Central Avenue. She agreed that a greater police presence is necessary on the east side considering that the crime level is higher, to which Mr. Beckman concuned. Mayor Hansen stated that nine officers were added to the force while he was Chief; however, he belíeved lhere would never be enough officers to ensure blanket coverage of the City. 'lhese problems will continue to exist, despite the ongoing efforts of the Pollce Department (e.9. patrol strategies on the east side, Partners patrolling with limited enforcement abilÍties, etc.). 5 . : ,{lvìÅl.lf-l,ll i-{trCÛlìD

Mayor Pro Tempore Beckman requosted that Police Chief Adams appear before the Council to discuss a 5b police quadrant, to whlch Ms. Keeter repl¡ed that she would schedule the subject matter. Committee Member Asghar requested that Council research what other cities are doing with their prevention programs. Chairperson Castro suggested that the Committee and Council meet more ofien to further understand and address the lssues of the east side.

cÉ The previous citizen who spoke regarding the 900 block of South Centralfurther complained that pollce officers routinêly show up 45 minutes to an hour aftsr a call ls placed and ln one instance, did not show up at all.

æ Vlrginia Lahr questioned if handicap curbs are scheduled to be lnstalled on Garfleld Street and asked if additional street sweeping could be scheduled on lhe east side to handle the increased litter from carts selling food products (many of which are operaling without licenses).

PRHPAREDBY: Community Development Department

RECOMMFNDEDACTION: Adopt a Resolution amending the Bylaws for the Lodi lmprovement Committee (LlC) to allow for a change in their meeting day and when they elect Officers each year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi lmprovement Committee wishes to change its meeting day to the second Tuesday of each month. lt also wants to change he month in which it selects officers each year. Those dates are for the Llc and therefore require H#itrHiå:[i'|lräLaws Article Vll - Section2 of the By-Laws specifiesthat regular meetingswill be on the first Tuesday of each month. ln order to be able to hold its regular meetingswithin the Carnegie Forum, the LIC did choose to move its regular meeting date to the second Tuesday of each month and did approve an arnendment of the Bylaws accordingly to read, "Rêgular meetings of the Board shall be held once a month, on the second Tuesday cf each month, at a location to be determined by the Board and opened to the public."

Article lV - Section I, of the By-Laws specifies thât, "New officers shall be elected by the Board annually at the first rneeting in March." This usually creates a conflict with the appointmenUre-appoìntment of membersto the LlCwhich is done through the Lodi City Council. Those appointments are usually done at eitherthe first or second Council meeting in March, which is usually after the LIC's regular meeting. ln order to allow for the election of officers to occur after the appointmentslre- appointments have been made, the LIC has chosen to amend the languagewithin the By-Laws to read, "New officers shall be elected by the Board annually at the fÌrst meeting in April.'

The Lodi lmprovementCommittee reviewed and approved these revisions unanimouslyat special meetings held on July 8, 2008 and August 12,2008. The Lodi lmprovement Committee is requesting that the City Council approve the proposed By-Law amendments, attached as Exhibit A,

ln response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Schwabâuer ståtêd SJCOG has indicated that thera is no other garter snake habitat available in Northern California, Mr. Schwabauer stated the comparable must be with garter snake habitats and there ãre no other improvements required for the site as may be needed if the Gity goes through another regulatory process.

AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Amending the Bylaws for the Lodi Improvement Committee to Reducethe Membershipof the Committee From Nineto Seven

MEETING DATE: September 2,2009

PREPARED BY: Commun ity Developmenl Department

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a Resolution amendlng the Bylaws for the Lodi lmprovement Committee (LlC) to reduce the number of positions on the committee from nine to seven.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION : On July 21, 2W9, at a Special Meetlng of the Lodi lmprovement Committee, the members in attendance at that meeting voted unanimously to amend the LIC Bylaws to reduce the number of positions on the committee from nine to seven. The size of the committee is specified within the By-Laws for the LIC and therefore requires Council action to approve.

The reasoning behind their action was two-fold, There were occasions when the cornmittee had to cancel meetings as they were unable to reach a quorum. They felt that if they reduced the number required to meet a quorum, from five with the nine-membercommittee, to four with the seven-member cornmittee, there would be less likelihood of this occunence. Second, the LIC cunently meets in the Council Chambers at Camegie Forum. With only seven seats on the dais, on several occasions members have had to awl

ln the approval of thls bylaw amendment, the LIC specified that the reduction in the memberehip should be achieved through attrition, as cunent members resign their position, fail to complete their terms, or do not seek reappointment at the end of their term.

To facilitate this change, the LIC approved the following changesto Article lll, Section 2 of the Lodi

AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Amending the Bylaws for the Lodi I mprovement Committea

MEETING DATE: November2,20l l

PREPARED BY: Community Development Department

RECOMMENDEDACTION: Adopt a Resolution amending the Bylaws of the Lodi lmprovement Committee.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION: The Lodi lmprovement Commlttee (LlC) voted unanimously on October f ,2A11 to amend the LIC Bylaws. ln addition to cleaning up some of the language within the bylaws, the amendments made two structural changes to the committee by eliminati ng the position of Treasurer and by reducing the number of members on the committee from seven to five. The red-line version of the drafr bylaws are attached for reference as Exhibit A.

The LIC has always held funds raised through events and from previous grants in a checking account. Through the years those funds have been used to buy matching polo shirts for the LIC members, pay for lunches at their annual goal-setting sessions, and for community projects such as the Main Street City Hall/Firehouse Paint Project. The Treasurer position has had the responsibility of tracking and providing monthly report of those funds. As those funds are being depleted and the bank account closed, the need for aTreasurer position has been eliminated. Any future funding that the LIC receiveswill be deposited in a trust account within the Finance Department. The staff liaison for the LIC w¡ll assume responsibility for reporting account balances to the LlC.

ln 2008, the LIC amended its bylaws to reduce its membershipfrom nine to seven members, in part due to some difficulty in reaching a quorum at regular meetings. The LIC has had two vacant positíons for most of the past year and has been unable to find interested applicants to fill both positions through multiple postings by the City Clerk's Office. This has again made it difficult for the LIC to reach a quorum at its regular meetings and has led it to the decision to reduce its membership from seven to five.

The Lodi lmprovement Committee is requesting that the City Council approve the proposed Bylaw amendmenls, referenced in the attachment.

Electric Utility Rates & Resources Manager Melissa Price provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) solar project. Specific topics of discussion included project highlights, project phases, Lodi project candidate sites, project costs, project benefits, Lodi Renewables Portfolio Standard status before and after the project, and next steps.

ln response to Council Member Chandlsr, Ms. Price and City Manager Schwabauer both confírmed that stâff is not seeking eouncil direction for a specific project location at this time; however, staff welcomes Council feedback or concerns on any of the potential site locations.

Council Member Kuehne stated he would not support the Pixley West or Pixley Basin locations at this time based on the fact there have been discussions about a public-private partnership to creâtê a park there; howevör, he would support the parkíng garage location. Further, if greater acreage is needed for the solar project, he suggested considering the plot on Guild Avenue. Mr. Schwaþauer responded the parking garage is a popular location for many; however, it is a small site and would have high construction costs. He added there are challenges with the Guild Avenue location because an unknown portion of the acreage will be utilized for the 230 kV project and it would be diffícult to commit that property until the project comes to fruition,

Mike Lusk stated Lodi should build its own solar power project and questioned why Lodi would not consider going outside of the NCPA lo build a plant. Mr. Schwabauer explained the benefits of working with NCPA, of which Lodi is a mêmbôr, most imporiantly the economies of scale, contributions of each representative body, and costs. Mr. Lusk stated he supports the Pixley Basin site location because of its proximity to the meter.

Ms. Price informed Council that this matter, which will come before Council soon, will seek authorization to spend up to $1.1 million for Phases 2a and 2b and to defegate authority to the City Manager, with Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) approval, to authorize project development authorization forms for submittal to NCPA for Phases 2c and 2d, She explained this type of authorization with ROC approval is within the scope and is included in the risk managêment policy; it is no different than power purchases and long-term contracts.

AGENDA TITLE: lnform the City Council on the Lodi lmprovement Gommittee's lncreased Role in the Community Development Block Grant Program through the Committee's Participation in (A) Determining Priority Needs and (B) Scoring Community- Based Applications for the 2018-19 Annual Action Plan Process

MEETING DATE: February 27,2018

PREPARED BY: Community Development Director

RECOMMENDED ACTION: lnform the Cily Council on the Lodi lmprovement Committee's íncreased role in the Community Development Block Grant program through the Committee's participation in (a) determining priority needs and (b) scoring community-based applications for the 2018-19 Annual Action Plan process,

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi (City) receives an annual allocation of funds (approximately $600,000) from the U.S. Ðepartment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The prímary purpose of the CDBG progrem is to improve the quality of life for low- and moderate-income persons, households, and neighborhoods by supporting puþlic services, public facilities, crime prevention, access for disabled persons, affordable housing, and economic development.

To properly allocate these funds on an annual basis, the City develops an Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan describes funding and eligible projects that meel priority goals. The City has routinely provided an application process for potential grantees to apply for CDBG funding. Historically, this process involved application review and scoring by City staff. Beginning this year, the Lodi lmprovement Committee (Committee) will score applications for the 2018-19 AnnualAction Plan cycle in order to formally advise City staff on the projects to select for CDBG program funds.

ln compliance with HUD's Citizen Participation requirements, the City provides several oppodunities to collect community input on priority needs and goals to help select the projects for CDBG funding. Also beginning this year, the Committee will assume the responsibility of collecting and summarizing community needs from the Community Needs Workshop, which will then be used in the scoring of applications. The workshop was held on February 13, 2018 at a regularly scheduled Committee meeting,

Lodi lmprovement Commlffee's New Role

The Committee's purpose, as stated in its bylaws, is to maintain and improve the quality of life and åppe¿¡rance of Lodi. This aligns with HUD's goal to help improve the quality of life for low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhoods. The Çommittee has traditionally reviewed and commented on the City's CDBG-funded activities throughout the course of the year; however, until this year, it has not formally scored or ranlced applications.

APPROVED: Manager i ,, :i¡{,i.til',åâ;¡l'; il"{i;;q,l{.:l{i i Shirtsleeve Lodi lmprovement Committee's Role in CDBG Page2ol2

The Committee's regularly scheduled meetings have often been a productive venue used for conducting public outreach and gathering public comments on the CDBG program. Public attendance at outreach meet¡ngs in general is typically low, and staff is looking for ways to increase community input. This input is critical for the City to prioritize its funding needs, set attainable goals for meeting those needs, and report on its progress. By having the Committee review and score application$ in a public setting, it creates a transparent process that should increase public participation, since the public will be able to readily experience how their input impacts the activities and goals selected for funding.

Details of New Process

Comments from the Community Needs Workshop will be gathered and tabulated by staff and presented to the Committee at its March 5 meeting, where they will be available for public review and comment, Ïhe Committee will then use the needs identified through the workshop as a guide to scoring applications. The Committee will score only applications proposed by community-based organizations, and not city-proposed projects. The Comrnittee may request additional information from staff or applicants regarding applications. Answers to Committee questions which cannot be immediately addressed will be provided at the next meeting on March 13, 2018, where the scores will be reviewed and finalized. Staff will receive the Commiffee's gcores and determine grant amounts based on the Comrnittee's ranked applications.

Committee recommendations will be incorporated into the draft Annual Action Plan. The City Council has the authority to review, comment, and approve the Annual Action Plan. The Commitiee's end staff's recommendations for funding are not final but advisory to the City Council.

Timeline

The fcllowing are significant dates regarding the 2018-19 application cycle. The public may provide feedback at any time during this process. o City Council Shirtsleeve - February o Community Needs Workshop (Çe$¡qi!@¡"neg!Eg) - February 13 o summary of community Needs and Applicatíon scoring Ggn.tn!!þåmeelt¡g)- March 5 o Finalize Application Scores Gg¡t¡titlge13gelltg) - March i3 o Draft AnnualAction Plan released for public comment - April o City Council hearing to reviewlapprove draft Annual Action Plan - April o City Çouncil hearing to reviedapprove finalAnnualAction plan - May o Submit AnnualAction Plan to HUD - May

ln conclusion, these changes will improve transparency and citizen participation in the CDBG application process through collaboration with the Lodi lmprovement Committee.

AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Lodi lmprovement Committee Bylaws Amendment to lncrease Number of Committee Members

MEETING DATE: May 16,2018

PREPARED BY: Cornmunity Development Director

RECOMM*NDED AGTION: Adopt a resolution approving the Lodi lmprovement Committee bylaws amendment to increase number of committee members.

BACKGROUND I NFORMATION: The Lodi lmprovement Committee {Committee) voted unanimously on April 10, 2018 to amend the Committee bylaws to increase the allowed number of directors from five to seven. The red-line version of the draft by-laws are attached for reference as Exhibit A.

The Committee is currently a five-rnember board. lncreasing the number of directors from five to seven would help create the oppottunity for diversifying member representation. ln addition, it would expand the board'g resources, including time, specialized skills, knowledge, and connection to community resources.

Ïhe Committee's purpose as stated in its bylaws is to maintain and improve the quality of life and appearence of Lodi through coordinated efforts of a broad spectrum of the community. W¡th a larger numþer of directors, a$ proposed, the Committee can be more diverse and eguipped to address its purpose and goals. ln 2008, the Committee amended its bylaws to reduce membershíp from nine to seven members, and again in 2011 from seven to five members. This was due to some difficulty with reaching a quorum at regular meetings and not being able to filltwo vacation positions for almost a year. lnterest in Committee membership has seen a recent increase from residents. lnstead of increasing the nurnber of directors from five to six or even seven, the Cornmittee recommends a flexible number of anywhere from five to seven directors. The Committee finds that flexiþility woutd be helpfulwhen its ability or need to fill a position fluctuates, for reasons including: interest by resídents to become a director, qualifications or relevant experience of applicants, and Committee's need for additional or more diverse re$ources and support in reaching íts goals. ln summary, the number of directors would increase or decrease between five and seven without having to update the bylaws each time, while also giving the Committee an opportunity to fillthese positions as interest in the Committee fluctuates and as needed to reach their goals.
