BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi has received funds from the Northern
California Power Agency (NCPA) which funds had been advanced in aid of an
anticipated transmission project. Funds received shall be deposited into the
Electric Rate Stabilization Fund, Account 016.2.
Transmission Project No. 1 costs prior to obtaining financing were funded by
participant advances to pay engineering, legal and NCPA administrative and general
costs associated with the PG&E Castle Rock Junction/Lakeville Transmission
Cotenancy (NCPA/PG&E Cotenancy) and NCPA participation in the Geysers Public Power
Line (GPPL). The advances were expended entirely in FY 82-83 and FY 83-84.
Favorable market conditions have resulted in re -financing NCPA Transmission
Project No. 1 and subsequent repayment of participant advances. The City of Lodi
will receive $172,538.89 repayment ($170,346.89 plus $2,192.00 Sinking fund
payment).
At the October 26, 1989 NCPA Commission Meeting, Transmission Project
Participants' Resolution 89-01 was approved. This resolution au horized repayment
of Transmission Project No. 1 participant advances in accordance with the
provisions of the Project's Third Phase Agreement. The Resolution authorizes the
principal portion of such advances to be repaid directly to participants and the
interest earned on the advances repaid to participants in the form of Transmission
Project billing credits over the coming months.
e
The interest amount of $79,673.29 will, therefore, be returned in the form of
billing credits to Lodi. Each participant was given the opportunity to receive
`
the principal ($92,865.60 is Lodi's share) either by check or by directing the.,:,ry
monies to to deposited with NCPA in a Phase II A fund.
t
Lodi staff chose to receive the full amount of $92,865.60 by check and those funds
have been deposited into the Electric Rate Stabilization Fund, account 016.2.
The City Council is requested to ratify Lodi staff actions; however, the funds
could be redirected to be deposited with NCPA.
