Woodland Chamber of Commerce Newsletter

President's Message Phil Hogan, USDA/NRCS

Taking it to the Next Level:

Your Chamber President

On-the-Run!

When January 1 of this year

arrived, I knew that I was

going to be on the run con-

stantly with the many varied responsibilities

that a Chamber president has.

Actually, being “on-the-run” has actually

turned out to be more of a mix of an all-out

sprint and a marathon. From April 5 through

May 20, I attended and participated in 36 dif-

ferent Chamber and community activities, and

those are just the ones I remember. This,

along with my USDA job, have made for

some rather long days. But then, this really

does not make me much different than the

hardworking business owners and managers,

dedicated City and Chamber staff, and com-

munity leaders that make Woodland so great.

When my friend Wayne Ginsburg came up

with the “Taking it to the Next Level” as this

year’s Chamber theme, I vowed that I would

not be attending all of these meetings and

events just for the sake of attending them; that,

in and of itself, is not the accomplishment.

What counts, and what I will base my level of

success by the end of my term, is how I have

applied what I learned at these events.

I have attended many City Council meetings,

learning how they and City staff continue to

provide a high level of service to Woodland’s

residents and businesses with limited re-

sources.

WDCWA Surface Water Project Update

Treated water from the Sacramento River will begin flowing from taps in

Woodland in June 2016. Water will be transferred from a new pumping facility

on the Sacramento River to the Regional Water Treatment Facility located on

County Road 24. There it will be treated using state-of-the-art technology and

distributed to Woodland, Davis and UC Davis.

The City has been working hard to prepare its system for surface water, includ-

ing system flushing and anti-corrosion treatment, and will introduce it slowly

into the system to allow the pipes to adapt to the new water source. Water will

be frequently tested to ensure it meets or exceeds all state and federal water

quality regulations.

During the winter months, and other times when river water is abundant, treated

water will be injected and stored in the aquifers below the City. This water will

act as our backup water source during the summer or when water supplies are

limited. Groundwater may still be used as necessary during unusual higher de-

mand, low supply, periods. In all cases, it will be blended with surface water

before being delivered to customers. Worst case scenario would be approxi-

mately 70% river water and 30% well water blended prior to entering the City’s

system.

To report problems, please call (530) 661-5962 (7 a.m.– 4 p.m., M-F). After

hours, the call will go to Yolo County Communications (24 hours per day, 7

days per week). Water users may also email Public Works at pub-

works@cityofwoodland.org, or submit a report through the “myWoodland” mo-

bile app. Frequently Asked Questions can be found online at

Ambassador of the Month:

Kevin Cornell, Brook's Painting

The Woodland Chamber of Commerce is

pleased to announce that Kevin Cornell of

Brooks Painting was chosen as our featured

Ambassador of the month. Kevin Cornell has

been a volunteer Ambassador for the Cham-

ber for over 2 years. He resides in Davis, but

will soon be moving to Woodland in 2016

with his family.

What is your role at Brooks Painting?

Commercial Sale Representative

Why did you choose to become an Ambassador for the Wood-

land Chamber? I joined the Chamber to be more connected with

the community and be a part of positive change as much as I can as

an Ambassador. Brooks Painting has been involved with the Wood-

land Chamber for many years as a sponsor for events and in pres-

ence. I have enjoyed working and being part of Woodland and see-

ing the huge amount of growth in businesses and appearance

throughout the City.

How does being an Ambassador benefit your day-to-day work?

Meeting and working with local business and home owners.

What do you find most rewarding about being an Ambassador?

Being part of the community and helping to be part of the solution.

What is playing on your iPod? Anything from instrumental to

Heavy metal

What is one thing that most people don’t know about you? I'm

an Artist and interior designer by nature. I'm also glad to have pro-

vided a public art piece at the new California Farmers Market open-

ing in June, and look forward to doing more community art while

strengthening my presence with the Yolo Art group in Woodland.

What will be the title of your autobiography?

Understood-Funny-Right

How long have you been with Brooks Painting? I came to Brooks

Painting from Reno, NV about four years ago. Jeremy and I knew

each other from our membership with a consulting firm we were

both a part of for painting companies. At the time, I was the General

manager for a Painting Company in Reno, NV. that had later closed

do to the recession. Shortly after Jeremy Brooks offered me a posi-

tion with his company hoping to grow sales and commitment to the

communities we work in. Since then I have been as active as possi-

ble with the Woodland Chamber, Odd Fellows and local Artist

groups.

What’s your favorite hobby? Art and Kayaking.

On top of energy efficiency, light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs offer many more bene-fits. As your partner, PG&E is committed to helping you better your business and your energy savings. LEDs do both – and that's why we offer numerous LED re-bates. It's time to flip the switch on inefficient lighting!

7 Key Benefits of Qualified LEDs:

High energy efficiency

Long rated life (50,000 to 100,000 hours)

Superior light quality

Resistance to vibration and breakage

Instantaneous on-switch

Excellent cold weather operation

Easily integrated with lighting controls

Upgrade Your Lighting with the Help of PG&E Rebates We know you're busy. We've designed our rebate program to be easy and efficient. We offer LED rebates for four key lighting catego-ries: LED troffers and integrated troffer retrofit kits, interior LED high-bay and low-bay lighting, LED exterior area lighting, and LED accent and directional lighting. No matter the lighting you're looking for, there are some general rebate requirements to be aware of:

All new fixtures, kits and components must carry the Under-writers Laboratory (UL) or Electrical Testing Laboratory (ETL) label.

Installations must follow all applicable local, state and national codes and ordinances.

LED fixtures must appear on the qualified products list at www.pge.com/ledqpl.

Here's a Quick Breakdown of Your Lighting and Rebate Options:

LED Troffers and Integrated Troffer Retrofit Kits Overview: Easily upgrade your fluorescent lighting troffer fixtures with LEDs. Troffers are rectangular (usually recessed) light fixtures. With our rebates, you can choose between new luminaires or inte-grated retrofit kits. New luminaires provide a well-designed fixture package with straightforward electrical installation. Retrofit kits replace existing fluorescent lamps, sockets and ballasts, and are installed into the existing fixture.

Best for: Most any interior space, especially retail, healthcare and office environments

Rebate range: Save $5 to $30 per kilolumen* Rebates are changing July 15, 2016, act now to take advantage of higher rebates.

Interior LED High-Bay and Low-Bay Lighting Overview: Greatly reduce your energy use and maintenance costs while improving light quality and output by replacing high-intensity discharge (HID) or fluorescent high-bay and low-bay fixtures with LEDs.

...continued on next column

Best for: Gyms, warehouses and assembly facilities, as LED lighting generates little heat, keeping cooling costs down

Rebate range: Save $100 to $300 per fixture

LED Exterior Area Lighting Overview: Replace your HID or incandescent outdoor fixtures with LEDs, and you'll save energy and money, as well as help keep cus-tomers and employees safer at night.

Best for: Parking lots, gas stations, outdoor parking structures, pathway lighting and outdoor wall-mounted lighting

Rebate range: Save $40 to $200 per fixture

LED Accent and Directional Lighting Overview: Create comfortable and vibrant spaces (while reducing energy and maintenance costs) with new LED accent, surface, pen-dant, track and recessed downlight fixtures.

Best for: Retail, hospitality and office environments

Rebate range: Save $15 to $30 per fixture

Brighten up your business and your bottom line with LED lighting. Learn more through our Lighting Rebate Catalog and at pge.com/led.

*A lumen is a unit of light output. 1 kilolumen = 1,000 lumens.

Eight measures have already

qualified for California’s Novem-

ber General Election ballot and

another ten measures are very

likely to qualify. These initiatives

cover a wide range of issues in-

cluding tax increases, criminal

sentencing, the death penalty,

corporate practices and executive

compensation, environmental

reform, legislative reform, and

many others.

Some of the campaigns are just

now in the organizing stage and

many will not officially launch

until after the June 30, 2016 qual-

ification deadline. However, a

number of business groups al-

ready have been approached by

either supporters or opponents to

make endorsements. As we have

learned over the years, many of

these measures are very compli-

cated and will require some level

of analysis before a fact-based

support or oppose determination

can be made.

We recommend exercising cau-

tion and avoid taking an early

stand on the more complicated

measures until you are able to

study and fully understand the

consequences of each initiative.

CalChamber has positioned on a

few and awaiting more detail for

others. Of course, if the proposal

doesn’t affect the business com-

munity, we may not position at

all.

Here is a list of initiative either

qualified, or likely to qualify for

the November 2016 ballot, with

CalChamber positions, if any.

What is a Chamber of Commerce?

A Chamber of Commerce is a federation of business, industrial and

professional firms and interested individuals working together to

enhance the economic and socioeconomic health of their communi-

ty.

It is a non-profit mutual benefit corporation of voluntary member-

ship that invests time and money to carry forward programs relevant

to members' needs and that affect the orderly growth and develop-

ment of the community.

It is the catalytic agency that brings together all of the forces, both

public and private, through which common goals can be resolved.

The mission of a Chamber of Commerce is to promote a favorable

business climate for their membership and community: to work on

issues of community interest and provide business leadership for

improvement of the economic, political environment and quality of

life.

The essential ingredients for an effective Chamber of Commerce are:

a sound organizational structure

a meaningful program

responsible leadership

a sound financial basis

The Chamber is not a social club, a charity or the city. Although it is

not for profit, the IRS code for mutual benefit organizations is 501

(c)6 not (c)3 as a church or civic club

In another role, Chambers are more active in political affairs, realiz-

ing that problems facing them can best be dealt within the legislative

arena.

As a federation of business and professional firms within the com-

munity, Chambers have a great power and influence through the

factual information they provide and the ability to keep Chamber

members motivated to communicate regularly with their legislators.

Cities and towns are what their citizens make them. The Chamber of

Commerce is the vehicle through which the businesses needs can be

met.

In these 200 years, the Chamber has grown from a single purpose

Federation of Trade, which was organized to promote trade and cut

costs by cooperating in certain operations, to a broad community

development association which believes that when men and women

of high purpose work unselfishly on common problems, progress

will result.

Your Chamber of Commerce Your Chamber is a voluntary membership organization of business

and professional people working together to build a healthy econo-

my and to improve the quality of life in your community.

Chamber members are businesses, organizations and individuals

concerned with the socioeconomic climate of our community.

...continued on next column

They have joined together because they know they stand a better

chance of getting things done when they speak as one voice. As it

works to improve your community's economy the Chamber keeps

these broad objectives in mind:

promote businesses so they can prosper and grow

help provide a skilled workforce

encourage an orderly expansion and development of all segments of

the community

advocate business interests to government to contribute to the over-

all economic stability of the city and,

provide the networking opportunities through which businesses can

work together to the benefit of all.

Chamber Affiliations:

The Woodland Chamber belongs to the California Chamber of Com-

merce and the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce. The CEO

is a member of WACE, the Western Association of Chamber of

Commerce Executives. These groups provide professional network-

ing and education for a professional staff.

Woodland Chamber of Commerce History The Woodland Chamber of Commerce was incorporated in 1931.

Originally it was formed primarily for the purpose of assisting in the

unification of the Woodland business community, and to encourage

the residents of Woodland to do their shopping locally thereby pat-

ronizing the Chamber members.

The Chamber's formation was also prompted by an expressed need

for a local, viable organization to contact for information regarding

the Woodland community -- and the Chamber is fulfilling this need.

The Chamber takes pride in its rapidly growing list of members

drawn from local retail, commercial and industrial businesses, as

well as professionals and other citizens in Woodland and surround-

ing areas interested in the concepts of business development, com-

munity improvement, and cultural and environmental enhancement.

The Woodland Chamber just celebrated its 85th anniversary with

over 500 members!

“X” MARKS YOUR BUSINESS

THROUGH GOOGLE

The Woodland Chamber of Commerce and the Daily Democrat have

collectively teamed up with the City of Woodland and Google to

“Put Woodland on the Map!” Following a successful first event last

Winter, future events are being planned. The series will be hosted

at City Hall upstairs in the Council Chambers. There is no cost to

attend. There will be ten laptops on hand available on a first come –

first served basis. Participants are encouraged to bring a personal or

work computer to the workshop if you are able to.

The workshop will start with the basic account creation and business

registration with Google, and then move into the more advanced

website design portion of the workshop! Participants in the program

are given one FREE year of both a domain name and website for

your business, on one of the most powerful and easy to use website

building tools available. Trained volunteers will be on hand to assist

you with any questions or challenges you may have. Thank you

Wayne Ginsburg, Kevin Cowan and Michael Marchese from the

Chamber for volunteering!

The program, also called “Get Your Business Online”/GYBO, aims

to get every Woodland business registered with a free Google ac-

count so they are easy to find when people are looking for local busi-

nesses online. According to Google, 4 out of 5 people use search

engines to find local information like business hours and directions

before choosing where to shop, so being easily accessible is essential

in the current economy.

The City, Chamber, and Democrat continue to support our local

businesses through the GYBO program and the resources it pro-

vides. Local businesses keep our communities strong; when we help

them succeed on the web, they make our communities even stronger.

If you cannot make the future workshops, stop by 307 First Street

and someone from the Chamber office will help you through the

steps! Or, contact Jonathan Wardrip at the City of Woodland with

any questions you may have at (530) 661-5922 or email at jona-

than.wardrip@cityofwoodland.org

JOIN THE INNER CIRCLE!

Over the past few months the Woodland Chamber of Commerce has sponsored Roundtables: Business Leads,

Speed and Social Circle Networking events. The programs are the brainchild of Marc Hutt, Advertising Manager

for the Daily Democrat; Chamber Ambassador and Board member. Marc stated that the objective of these events

was to “meet, connect and learn how to network with fellow local business professionals.”

During these exciting and fun sessions, in a little over an hour, participants end up with about thirty immediate

leads. They also discovered new sources to promote their products and services. And I came away knowing fellow

and new Chamber members on a more personal level.

How it works…Participants are asked to bring a supply of their business cards, something to write with and to be prepared to introduce them-

selves within a 2-minute window – Marc asked the participants to “think of it as speed-selling!”

Everyone at the Business Leads Roundtable gets their turn to stand in the center of a circle formed by the other participants. They state their

name, company products and/or services, mention an interesting “tidbit” about themselves, and identify a planned purchase (product or ser-

vice) they need within the next few weeks (personal or for business). At the bell the others walk up to the participant and hand them their

business cards. When it was my turn, I asked for donations for the Golf Tournament and received five cards for some very nice raffle prizes!

Upon returning to the office, everyone receives an email with a copy of a proprietary list of business cards from those in attendance. Marc felt

that once the attendees received the cards “they can all interact to stimulate follow-up connectivity and create a 'buzz' out in the community -

this is how we grow and get new attendees faster.”

Marc, with his infectious enthusiasm, told me after the first one “you ain't seen nothin’ yet!” And, he was correct. The Speed Networking

similar to Speed Dating lead to many new business contacts for everyone. These morning events have contributed greatly to the Chamber

living up to President Hogan’s’ theme for this year, “Taking it to the Next Level!”

I feel that these experience raise the expectations that Chamber events are relevant and meaningful to our members and to prospective mem-

bers as well.

Thank you Dan Brown, at Court Street Café, and Ambassador Brittany Chilton from St. John’s Retirement Village for hosting the sessions.

Also, thank you to the members donating door prizes.

The Woodland Chamber of Commerce sincerely appreciates Marc for creating and organizing this member benefit. For those companies that

did not have a chance to be involved, contact the office. They are held on the first Wednesdays of the month, 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Contact

Destiny at (530) 662-7327 or assistant@woodlandchamber.org to reserve your spot!
