Modesto Mayor and League First Vice President Jim Ridenour hosted <br />the event at the Dryden Golf Course. <br /> <br />Sixty-eight golfers competed for the Central Valley Division trophy. Comprised of city officials and <br />sponsors, the teams competed in a scramble'style tournament followed by a catered awards <br />dinner held at the Sportsmen of Stanislaus Club. <br /> <br />The winning team from Lodi included Mayor Larry Hansen, Mayor Pro Tern Phil Katzakian, <br />Deputy City Manager Jordan Ayers and Community Center Director James Rodems. <br /> <br />The foursome will have their team name en raved on the perpetual trophy. <br /> <br /> <br />A great success, the inaugural event had <br />a large turnout and raised more than <br />$25,000 to support CitiPAC, the <br />League's political action committee. <br /> <br />Since 2004, CitiPAC has been and <br />important tool in the League's political <br />advocacy efforts. CitiPAC funds have <br />been central to many of the League's <br />ballot measure campaigns, such as the <br />recent fight to defeat Proposition 98 and <br />its restrictions on local control of zoning <br />and redevelopment. These funds have <br />been raised exclusively through the <br />efforts of city officials across the state <br />who participate in regional fundraising <br />events throughout the year. <br /> <br />Future CltiPAC events include the Sacramento Valley Division's Golf Tournament scheduled for <br />Oct. 22 in Lincoln and the South San Joaquin Division's Gala in Visalia on Oct. 29. <br /> <br />For more information about CltiPAC visit www.citiDac.ora or contact Mike Egan, League public <br />affairs fundralser, at (916) 658-8271. <br /> <br />Become a Facebook Fan of the California Local Government Finance Almanac <br /> <br />Facebook users can now receive regular news and updates on California municipal finance topics <br />and new briefs and data from CaliforniaCltyFinance.com through Facebook.
