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 as shown in Attachment 1(“Policy”). 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.
The Lodi Boys and Girls Club 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 Nakanishi has reviewed the merits and needs of the proposed projects or activities and desires to donate $4,130 to Lodi Boys and Girls Club from the District 1 Non-Profit Funds.
