AGENBA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Managerto Execute Mutual Aid
Agreements with American Public Power Association, California Municipal
Utilities Association and California Utilities Emergency Association (EUD)
MEETING DATE: August 20,2008
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into mutual
aid agreements with American Public Power Association (APPA),
California Municipal UtilitiesAssociation (CMUA) and California
Utilities Emergency Association (CUEA).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mutual Aid Agreements provide the terms for organizations to assist
each other when mutually agreeable. They are of particular benefit
in speeding response to emergencies, but may also give us
additional economical sources when we need to use a certain piece of equipment only occasionally.
They may also provide some cost recovery for idle equipment we have that is needed for a time by
another party. We have found three Mutual Aid Agreements that are available to us.
Attachment 1 is the Mutual Aid Agreement coordinated by the American Public Power Association. The
Agreement is explicit that aid is not contingent on an emergency or disaster. The Aiding Signatory
provides assistance at its discretion upon request of the Requesting Signatory. The Requesting
Signatory pays the Aiding Signatory's invoice for labor, equipment, and transportation at the Aiding
Signatory's reasonable and customary rates and for meal and lodging expenses at reasonable and actual
costs. Parties include SMUD, Roseville, Alameda and Redding. There is no other cost just for entering
into the Agreement.
Attachment 2 is the Mutual Aid Agreement coordinated by the California Municipal UtilitiesAssociation. It
is similar to the APPA Agreement, with the following key difference: it is intended for use in emergencies
(though it doesn't explicitly bar aid at other times), reimbursement is at cost + 10%, and it has explicit
provisions to clarify matters of liability and indemnification. Parties include Alameda, Palo Alto and Santa
Clara. There is no other cost just for entering into the Agreement.
Attachment 3 is the Mutual Aid Agreement of the California Utilities Emergency Association coordinated
by the California Office of Emergency Services. It is similar to the APPA Agreement except that
requesting aid requires the description of an emergency and the Agreement adds more detail in matters
such as liability, arbitration and audit rights. Parties include PG&E, SMUD, MID, Palo Alto, Redding,
Roseville and Santa Clara. The cost to belong to CUEA is currently $4.35/year per million of Operating
Revenue, with a $500/year minimum (and $40,000 maximum, that affects PG&E, Southern California
Edison (SCE) and the like). CUEA also provides certain free training and would provide services to the
water and wastewater utilities, as well as electric.

The proposed resolution would authorize the City Managerto execute all three Mutual Aid Agreements
and authorize the Electric Utility Director or his/her designee to administer them, subject (in the absence
of an emergency) to budget limitations.
FISCAL IMPACT: Minimum $500 per year for the CUEA Agreement, if aid is not requested. If
requesting assistance without an emergency, use is limited by adopted budget
constraints. If providing assistance, use may provide revenue to defray fixed costs.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008-163
A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi Electric Utility may be benefited by requesting or
providing aid to other utilities; and
WHEREAS, three Mutual Aid Agreements are available to the City of Lodi, as
follows:
1 } The first Mutual Aid Agreement is coordinated by the American Public
Power Association (APPA), which Agreement is explicit in that aid is not
contingent on an emergency or disaster. The Aiding Signatory provides
assistance at its discretion upon request of the Requesting Signatory.
The Requesting Signatory pays the Aiding Signatory's invoice for labor,
equipment, and transportation at the Aiding Signatory's reasonable and
customary rates and for meal and lodging expenses at reasonable and
actual costs. Parties include Sacramento Municipal Utility District
(SMUD), Roseville, Alameda, and Redding. There is no other cost just
for entering into the Agreement.
2) The second Mutual Aid Agreement is coordinated by the California
Municipal Utilities Association. It is similar to the APPA Agreement with
the following key difference: it is intended for use in emergencies (though
it does not explicitly bar aid at other times), reimbursement is at cost +
10%, and it has explicit provisions to clarify matters of liability and
indemnification. Parties include Alameda, Palo Alto, and Santa Clara.
There is no other cost just for entering into the Agreement.
3) The third is a Mutual Aid Agreement of the California Utilities Emergency
Association (CUEA) coordinated by the California Office of Emergency
Services. It is similar to the APPA Agreement except that requesting aid
requires the description of an emergency and the Agreement adds more
detail in matters such as liability, arbitration and audit rights. Parties
include Pacific Gas & Electric, SMUD, Modesto Irrigation District, Palo
Alto, Redding, Roseville, and Santa Clara. The cost to belong to CUEA is
currently $4.35/year per million of Operating Revenue, with a $500/year
minimum (and $40,000 maximum, that affects PG&E, Southern California
Edison, and the like). CUEA also provides certain free training and would
provide services to the water and wastewater utilities, as well as electric.
WHEREAS, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute all three
Mutual Aid Agreements as set forth above; and
WHEREAS, staff further recommends that the Electric Utility Director or his/her
designee be authorized to administer the agreements in the absence of an emergency
or disaster to the constraints of budgets adopted or ratified by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby
authorizes the City Manager or his/her designee to execute the mutual aid agreements
as set forth above; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Electric Utility Director or his/her designee
is hereby authorized to apply for membership on behalf of the City (f Lodi in the CUEA;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Electric Utility Director or his/her designee
is hereby authorized to administer said agreements, subject, in the absence cf an
emergency or disaster, to the constraints of budgets adopted or ratified by the City
Council.
Dated: August 20, 2008
