$600,000 annually between the years 2008 - 2017.
RATES:
Effective on all bills rendered on or after January 1, 2008 until December 31, 201 7, a
surcharge per kilowatt-hour (kWh) will be applied to all kWh sold. The CSS shall be
applied to all kWh sold and will be non-discounted.
The surcharge amount of $0.00125 will be applied to all kWh consumed by each
customer in all rate classes.
All funds collected under this surcharge will be placed in an account solely for the
purpose of implementing the Lodi Solar Rebate Pilot Program.

City or outside of the City so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as
otherwise imposed by law.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof
to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other
provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid
provision or application. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of
the invalidity of any particular portion thereof.
