Summary
Lodi's buildings need about $2.9 million in repairs next year, but only $710K was funded — so roofs, elevators, and pumps keep getting pushed back, and emergency fixes cost far more than planned ones. The 2027-28 request will likely top $3.6 million.

Impact analysis
A $2.2 million shortfall this year, growing annually — unfunded repairs get carried into next year's request plus a proposed new maintenance worker position.
Everyone who uses city buildings — police, fire, library, and City Hall users all benefit when repairs happen before failures.
Deferred repairs fall hardest on fire and police staff — a broken boiler briefly closed the jail, and a sewer break forced firefighters to relocate temporarily.
