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-
[email protected], 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.

Human Services Agency, located at 25 N. Cottonwood Street in
Woodland, to help job seekers succeed at the job fair, including tips

nailing the interview. Those interested in attending the prep event
are encouraged to RSVP HERE
On June 23, the job fair will be held from 9:00 a.m. to Noon at the
same location. Participating employers include the Bureau of Recla-
mation, Auto Zone, California Highway Patrol, Clark Pacific, Allied

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.

Referendum on Plastic Bag Ban

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!

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-

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 [email protected] to reserve your spot!
