4'- CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution In Support of the San Joaquin Valley Regional Plug -In ElectricVehicle
Coordinating Council Project
MEETING DATE: August 17, 2011
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution in support of the San Joaquin Valley Regional
Plug -In ElectricVehicle Coordinating Council Project.
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.
