BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Earlier this summer, the California Energy Commission (CEC) issued a solicitation for participation in the CEC Alternative & Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program. In order to formally participate in the aforementioned CEC program and receive grant funding, local entities must first form a Plug -In ElectricVehicle Coordinating Council or PEVCC. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) has taken the lead on forming the PEVCC, and has extended invitations to other local government entities to participate. Staff is recommending approval of this resolution for participation in the PEVCC. Lodi's commitment to the PEVCC includes representation at various area meetings conducted by the SJVAPCD. During these meetings, the actual plan to utilize potential CEC grant funding will be developed and submitted for consideration. Staff recommends that the Electric Utility Manager of Customer Service & Programs and the City of Lodi Communications Specialist serve on the PEVCC planning committee. FISCAL IMPACT: Participating in the PEVCC may result in the City receiving grant funds for electric vehicle infrastructure. FUNDING: None required. E66beth A.
