RECOMMENDEDACTION: Set a Public Hearing on May 19, 2010 to introduce ordinance
amending Chapter 13.20 "Electrical Service" by adding a new
Section 13.20.320 titled Schedule NST - new sales tax economic
development rate.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electric Utility Department proposes anew electric utility rate:
the New Sales Tax (NST) Economic Development Rate. The
proposed NST rate was presented to the Council on April 7, 2010.
The proposed NST has three primary objectives:
1) enhance sales tax revenue to Lodi's General Fund;
2) reduce the vacancy rate of commercial properties in Lodi, thus reducing the potential for property
neglect, vandalism and/or blight; and,
3) strengthen Lodi's commitmentto business growth and economic development during this
temporary national economic downturn.
The NSTwould be available to commercial customers who generate at least $100,000 in sales tax or
more per year, and occupy a property that has been vacant for a minimum of three months. The
discount would be 10 percent through Fiscal Year 2010/11 and 5 percentthrough Fiscal Year 2011/12.
When the incentive expires, economic conditions could be assessed as to whether renewal is warranted.
FISCAL IMPACT: Unknown. Dependent upon the number of participants, and how many of those
would not occupy the vacant property without the discount.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
