Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lodi public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Historic Preservation
Lodi is rethinking its historic preservation rules, which means local homeowners might soon face new restrictions on how they remodel or update their older properties. The architectural review committee is hosting a public workshop this Wednesday to hash out the details.
Alcohol Permit Review
Downtown Lodi might get a brand new cocktail bar, but local police aren't totally sold on the idea. They're pushing back against the permit because that part of town already sees a ton of police calls.
State Proposition Opposition
Lodi's City Council is pushing back against a state proposition, even sending a letter to the Governor. They're officially opposing Proposition 50, but what does that actually mean for the city and its residents?
Personnel Action
The city manager who raised concerns about potential misuse of public funds is now on leave. This move is sparking worries about whether city hall is being transparent and accountable.
Local Politics
Lodi just elected its first-ever Sikh mayor, making history for the city! This is a huge win for diversity and representation in local government.
