BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This staff report provides a snapshot of the City's upcoming series of workshops with the City Council related to future growth planning within Lodi's Sphere of Influence (SOI). This series will be introduced by the Community Development Department (CDD), Public Works, and Lodi Electric Utility. The first workshop, presented by CDD, will introduce the City's vision for growth in key areas and discuss the upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) for the General Plan update. Two subsequent workshops will be presented by the Public Works and Electric Utility Departments, with the final in the series presented by a specialized consultant regarding infrastructure financing.
