(v) VOLTAGE DISCOUNT: (1) When delivery hereunder is made at the
same 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

has the option to change his system 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.
The City retains the right to change
(vi) POWER FACTOR: When the billing demand has exceeded 400 kw 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 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 con-
sumed in the month.

Section 12. URGENCY REVENUE MEASURE. This ordinance is hereby declared
to be an urgency measure for the imnediate preservation of the public pease,
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
April 28, 1973 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 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 1972-73
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 13. 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 for service furnished on and after May 1, 1973.
