SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
(a) Maximum Demand: The maximum demand in any month will be the maximum
average power taken during any 15-minute interval in the month, but not less than
the diversified resistance welder load. However, when the recorded monthly maximum
demand has exceeded 400 kw for three consecutive months and thereafter until it has
fallen below 300 kw for 12 consecutive months, a 30-minute interval will be used.
In cases where the use ofienergy is intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations,
a 5-minute interval may be used.

(b) Billing Demand: The billing demand to be used in computing charges will
be the mean of the actual maximum demand as determined under Special Condition (a)
above for the current month and the highest such demand occurring in the year ending
with the current month.
(c) Off-peak Demand: Any customer whose billing demand has exceeded 400 kw
for three consecutive months and thereafter until it has fallen below 300 kw for
twelve consecutive months may, upon request, for billing purposes, have demands
ignored which occur between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. of the following day and on
Sundays and the following holidays: New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans ' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day ,
as said days are specified in Public Law 90-363 (U.S.C.A. Section 6103).
(d) Voltage: Service on this schedule will be supplied at the transmission
or the primary distribution voltage available or, at the option of the customer, at
the secondary voltage available. Where secondary voltage is desired and polyphase
power is to be combined with single phase, a four-wire service will be supplied.
(e) Voltage Discount: (1) When delivery hereunder is made at the same primary
distribution voltage as that of the line from which the service is supplied, or (2)
when sufficient capacity is not available in distribution facilities existing in
the area to supply the customer's requirements, and the City has elected to supply
service from a transmissibn line for its operating convenience by means of City-
owned transformers on the customer's property, a discount of 4% will be allowed on
the above charges, including the minimum charge, provided, however, the City is not
required to supply service at a non-standard voltage. When service is supplied
directly without transformation from a transmission line of 60 kv or higher, a
discount of 5% will be allowed. The City retains the right to change its line
voltage at any time, after reasonable advance notice to any customer receiving a
discount hereunder and affected by such change, and such customer then has the
option to change his syst,em so as to receive service at the new line voltage or to
accept service (without voltage discount) through transformers to be supplied by
the City.
(f) Power Factor: hen the billing demand has exceeded 400 kw for three con-
secutive months and thereafter until it has fallen below 300 kw for twelve consecutive
months, bills will be adjusted for weighted monthly average power factor as follows:
..I
The total charge (except the minimum charge) for any month as computed on the
above rates will be decreased or increased, respectively, by 0.1% for each 1% that
the average power factor of customer's load in the month was greater or less than
85%, such average power factor to be computed (to the nearest whole per cent) from
the ratio of lagging kilovolt ampere hours to kilowatt hours consumed in the month.
Section 8. SCHEDULE EL OUTDOOR DUSK-TO-DAWN LIGHTING - Outdoor dusk-to-dawn
lighting is applicable to City-owned and maintained outdoor overhead lighting
service where street light service is not available.
RATE :
For each 175-watt Mercury Vapor lamp - $5.15 per month.
For each 400-watt Mercury Vapor lamp - $8.00 per month.
Fuel Cost Adjustment:
A fuel cost adjustment will be included in each bill for service.
The adjustment amount shall be the product of the total kilowatt hours for
which the bill is rendered times the adjustment amount per kilowatt hour.
The adjustment amount per kilowatt hour will be calculated to recover fuel cost
adjustment amounts charged to the City by the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. for
bulk power. Average monthly kwhr will be used; for the 175-watt lamp the
energy used is 73 kwhr and for the 400-watt lamp, 162 kwhr is used.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE:
Lamps shall be approximately 175-watt or 400-watt Mercury Vapor with luminaire
and bracket, as specified by City of Lodi Utility Department, and shall be supported
on City-owned poles which are used to carry distribution system circuits for other
City purposes and shall be at locations approved by City of Lodi.

Upon receipt of notyce from customer of failure of light to operate as
scheduled, the City of Lodi Utility Department will, within a reasonable period
of time, make the necessary repairs.
City of Lodi will, jt customer's request, relocate existing outdoor lighting
service equipment, provided customer reimburses the City for the net expense to
City incurred therewith.

Any additional facilities required other than mentioned in character of
service shall be at customer's expense prior to installation.
Section 9. URGENCY REVENUE MEASURE. This ordinance is hereby declared to be
an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and
safety, and a measure fixing an amount of money to be raised by taxation, all
within the meaning of Section 36937 of the Government Code of the State of California
and Article IV, Section 1, of the Constitution of the State of California. The
facts concerning such declaration are:
(a) The City of Lodi owns and operates an electric distribution system,
presently purchasing electric energy in bulk from the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company. The contract under which such electrical energy is purchased has been
modified by the Federal Power Commission of the United States of America and on
October 26, 1976 a new and substantially higher rate will be imposed by the Company.
Lack of additional revenue to the City, commencing on the date on which the higher
rate is imposed upon the City, will result in a reduction in the governmental and
proprietary services furnished the public by the City to the detriment of the public
peace, health and safety.
(b) Partial reliance upon electric revenues for providing governmental and
proprietary services to its citizens has made it impracticable to make complete
provision for the operation of Municipal facilities in the fiscal year 1976-77
pending determination of electric costs and revenues. Assurance of safe and
reasonable service levels requires the adjustment of such costs and revenues at
the earliest possible moment.
Section 10. EFFECTIVE DATE. The Ordinance is being published one time in
the "Lodi News-Sentinel," a daily newspaper of general circulation printed and
published in the city of Lodi and shall be in force and take effect with respect to
all electric bills prepared on and after October 25, 1976.
