SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
This rate is available onlyfor mobile home park master metering in service prior to
March 31, 1989.
It is the responsibili of the master-metered customer to notify the City Finance
Department by the 5 day of each month of any change in the number of occupied
mobile home park units wired for service on the first day of that month.
Miscellaneous electric loads such as general lighting, laundry rooms, general
maintenance, and other similar use incidental to the operation of the premises as a
multi-family accommodation will be considered domestic use.
For the master-metered Customer to qualify for Single Household Alternative Rate
for Energy (SHARE) and/or the Residential Medical Discount, the qualified sub-
metered tenants of the master-metered Customer must submit the applicable
application(s), including the tenant’s unit number, to the City of Lodi Finance
Department. The City of Lodi Finance Department will notify the master-metered
Customer in writing of the tenant’s certification for these programs.
For tenants who are on fixed incomes below $45,000 annually and who are over
62 years of age, and do not qualify for any other discount, a discount of 5% of the
qualifying tenant’s electric bill (Fixed Income Discount) shall be provided to the
master-metered Customer. Procedures as to qualification will be established by
the Electric Utility Department.
The master-metered customer, not the City of Lodi, is responsible for extending the
SHARE, Residential Medical Discount, and Fixed Income Discount to tenants
certified to receive them. If verification establishes that the SHARE, Residential
Medical Discount, or Fixed Income Discount tenant is ineligible, the tenant will be
removed from the master-metered Customer’s qualified tenants and the City of
Lodi may render corrective billings.
The master-metered Customer shall not bill any sub-metered tenant more than that
tenant would be billed if that tenant were an individual customer of the City of Lodi.
For a qualifying SHARE tenant, the master-metered Customer shall bill the
qualifying tenant at the applicable rates equivalent to Schedule ED, Residential
SHARE Program Service. For a tenant qualifying for a Residential Medical
Discount, the master-metered Customer shall the bill the qualifying tenant in
accordance with the provisions of Schedule MR, Residential Medical Discount.
For tenants qualifying for a Fixed Income Discount, the master-metered Customer
shall bill the qualifying tenant in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (e)
herein. A tenant not qualified for any of the above discounts shall be billed using
the same rate schedule that the City bills the park owner (e.g., in accordance with
the section titled “Rates” herein), excepting the Master Meter /Sub-Meter Discount
shall not be provided to tenants.
%
(h) The master-meterkub-meter rate discount provided herein prohibits further
recovery by mobile home park owners for the costs of owning, operating and
maintaining their electric sub-metered system.
Upon request, mobile home park owners must submit copies of their tenant billings
to the City of Lodi for auditing to ensure compliance with this rate tariff, provided
however that such requests shall not be made more often than semi-annually.
