distinguished from commercial) plant operated by power
supplied on this schedule, except lighting in dwell-
ings or in buildings used primarily for trade or for
any purpose not essential to the operation of such
plant.
b. Guarantee Load: Any customer may obtain the rate and
conditions of service for a billing demand greater
than his actual demand by guaranteeing the charges
(including the minimum) applicable to such greater
demand. Such guarantee demand may not be changed more
than once per year.
INDUSTRIAL PO=
Description of Service: I
This schedule is applicable to alternating current lighting
and, at the customer's option, to alternating current for heat-
ing, cooking, power or any combination thereof (either single-
phase or polyphase) alone or combined with lighting, provided all
polyphase power service to any customer on the same premises
shall be supplied through one meter. Service to each of two or
more separate areas, but not in the same building, and which do
not overlap within the same premises may be individually metered.
S pe c ial C ond it'i ons :
a. Maximum Demand: The maximum demand in any month will be
the maximum average power taken during any 15-minute
interval in the month, provided however, that whenever
such monthly maximum demand has exceeded 400 kw for three
consecutive months and thereafter until it has fallen
below 300 lcw for twelve consecutive months, a 30-minute
'!
interval may be used; provided further, that in cases
where the use of energy is intermittent or subject to
violent fluctuations, a 5-minute interval may be used.
A thermal type of demand meter which does not reset
after a definite time interval may be used.
b. Billing Demand: The billing demand to be used in com-
puting the charges under these schedules will be the
mean of the actual maximum demand as determined under
(a) for the current month and the highest such demand
occurring in the year ending with the current month,
c. Voltage: Service on this schedule will be supplied at
the secondary voltage available or, at the option of the
customer, at the primary voltage available, Where
secondary voltage is desired and polyphase power is to
be combined with single-phase, a &wire service will be
supplied, either 120/240 volt or 120/208 volt, whichever
is available.
d. Primary Voltage Discount: When delivery hereunder is
made at the same voltage as that of the line from which
the service is supplied, a discout of 3% for line voltages
of 4 kv will be allowed.
e. Power Factor: When the billing demand has exceeded 400
kk for three consecutive 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:
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 that month
was greater or less than 85$, such average power factor
to be computed (to the nearest whole per cent) from the
ratio of lag,ging kilovolt-ampere-hours to kilowatt-
hours consumed in the month, provided, however, that no
power factor correction will be made for any month when
customer‘s maximum demand was less than 10% of the highest
such demand in the preceding eleven months.
Rate I: This rate applies to demands of 1,000 KW or less.
Energy Charge:
First 6,000 KWH or less per month ......... $142.50
For all excess over 6,000 KWH per month:

Section 3. URGENCY REVENUE MEASURE. This ordinance is here-
by declared to be an urgency measure for the immediate preserva-
tion 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 con-
tract under which such electrical energy is purchased has
been modified by the Public Utility Commission of the State
of California and on August 27, 1957, a new and substantially
higher rate has been imposed by the Company. Lack of addi-
tional revenue to the City, commencing on the date on which
higher rate has been 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 the
provision of other governmental and proprietary services
has made it impracticable to make complete provision for the
operation of Municipal facilities in the fiscal year 1957-58,
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 possi-
ble moment.
Section 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall take effect
upon its adoption and be in full force with respect to all electric
bills rendered on and after February 1, 1958.
