Lewis further advised that the proposed R-1
ELECTRIC ENERGY
rate increase will cost the City $288,487 for
BY THE CITY
slightly more than eight months in fiscal year
1977. The majority of this increase is in the
monthly demand charge, and hence has a more
drastic effect on purchased power costs during
the summer months; therefore, analysis of
electrical costs and revenues must be made on
an annual basis.
A proposed ordinance establishing new rates
for the sale of electric energy by the City of
Lodi was presented for Council's scrutiny.
Mr. Lewis listed the following advantages of
the proposed rates:
1) The City will increase revenue to offset
the increase in purchased power cost.
2) City base rates will be established at
approximately 9510 of the P. G. & E. retail
rates to similar customers.
3) The number of rate blocks in the EA and
EB schedules are reduced, thus simplifying
the schedules.
4) Rates S -I and 5-11 are incorporated into one
schedule, because the special conditions are
applicable to both.
5) The special conditions in each schedule have
been revievred by Utility and Finance Department
staff and have been simplified or deleted where
they were unnecessary,
Council discussion followed with questions regard-
ing the matter being directed to Staff.
Council members iterated their desire to receive
