body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 4, 2025, as part of the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025-2026 annual budget, the City Council voted to add $100,000 to the City Council budget. These funds are evenly distributed among the five Council Members, giving each member $20,000 to support non-profits that benefit the Lodi community.
On July 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-120, approving the Non-Profit Fund Policy (“Policy”) see Attachment 1. The Policy outlines the process and guidelines for submitting Proposal Letters from non-profit organizations, review and recommendations of allocations and final approval by Council Members and the full City Council.
Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin (“CPF”) has submitted a Proposal Letter (Attachment 2), which has been reviewed by the City Clerk and found in compliance with the guidelines set within the Policy. Council Member Craig-Hensley and Mayor Pro Tempore Yepez have each individually reviewed the merits and needs of the proposed projects or activities and desire to donate to Community Partnership for Families from each of their respective district’s Non-Profit Funds:
- Recommendation by Council Member Craig-Hensley: District 2 Non-Profit Fund amount of $12,500.
- Recommendation by Mayor Pro Tempore Yepez: District 4 Non-Profit Fund amount of $6,000.
