BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In September 2015 and January 2016, Lodi Electric Utility (LEU)
presented to the City Council two separate reports on the issues
and challenges facing utilities with respect to the changing electric
utility business model.
Under the traditional model, utilities were the sole providers of electricity to meet a customer's power
requirements. Customers now have the option to install their own generation, on-site energy storage
technology is becoming available to the general public, and customers continue to implement energy
efficiency measures.
Like most electric utilities, LEU's rates are structured to recover a portion of its revenue requirement
through a bundled energy charge for both commodity (variable) and non -commodity (fixed) expenses.
This means that fixed costs are recovered largely when the customer is billed for energy. As a customer
uses less energy, less fixed revenue is recovered — despite the reality that the fixed costs remain the
same or increase for the utility. As such, less revenue received through fixed costs results in the need for
higher variable (energy) charges to cover fixed costs.
Other utilities such as Alameda, Redding, Turlock Irrigation District, SMUD, Modesto Irrigation District
and Roseville have acknowledged this issue by implementing fixed charges ranging from $11.50 to $22
per month.
With the current five -tier residential rate structure, higher users are paying a higher energy charge per
kilowatt-hour (kWh) and thus paying a higher share of fixed costs than the lower user paying a lower
energy charge per kWh. The current residential electric rate charges are provided below:
Minimum Charge - $5.25
Energy Charge ($/ h)
Tier 1

Conduct Public Hearing to Introduce an Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Chapter 13.20 — Electrical Service — By Repealing
and Reenacting Sections 13.20.190 - Schedule EA (Residential Service) and 13.20.210 - Schedule EM (Mobile Home Park
Service) in Their Entirety
July 20, 2016
Page 2 of 3
Fixed costs for LEU currently account for approximately 45 percent of all expenses, while LEU currently
collects no fixed charge from its residential customers. These fixed or non -power costs include billing,
metering, contributions to the General Fund, and debt service to name a few. A minimum charge
currently applies only to customers using less than 36 kWh per month or less than two percent of all
residential customers.
As such, it has become necessary for electric utilities to evaluate the impact of these changes so that the
utility recovers necessary costs and ensures one group of customers is not benefitting at the expense of
another. To improve alignment between charges and costs, LEU is proposing to eliminate the minimum
monthly charge of $5.25 per month and replace it with a $10 per month fixed charge for residential
customers. In addition, LEU is proposing to reduce the number of tiers from five to three for residential
customers. The proposed residential electric rate charges are provided below:
Customer Charge - $10.00
EnM Char a $/kWh
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3
$0.1400 $0.1550 $0.3300
For a better understanding of the customers impacted by these changes, the table below provides a
snapshot of monthly usage for the average residential, low-income and solar customers:
This revenue neutral rate re -structure is projected to generate approximately $2 million in fixed revenue,
thereby allowing for a reduction and simplification in energy rates and tiers. The impact to the low,
medium and high use customer is illustrated below and includes an average energy cost adjustment,
applicable surcharges and taxes. For simplicity, the comparison below is provided based on summer
billing rates. The information below does not include any applicable low-income, fixed-income and/or
medical discounts. Those discounts would be applied accordingly and thereby reduce the overall impact
to customers eligible for those discounts.

In addition, because mobile home park residents are charged by the master metered customer in the
same manner as a residential customer is charged by the utility, the changes outlined above are also
proposed to the current mobile home park rates. Staff also conducted a comprehensive review of the
current charges and discounts to master metered mobile home park accounts and is proposing additional
changes, including a pad discount reduction and assessment of a customer charge to cover monthly
billing costs which, when combined with the proposed rate restructure, will result in a small monthly
increase to the master metered customer. Staff met with representatives from the various mobile home
parks in June 2016 to discuss the proposed changes.
These proposed changes, if approved, will begin to align Lodi's residential rate structure with industry
standards, fairly allocate fixed costs to all residential customers, and create a more simplified and easier

to understand rate structure. More importantly, these proposed changes will maintain Lodi's competitive
rates with PG&E and other publicly -owned utilities.
The proposed changes are outlined in the attached Exhibit A.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed changes are revenue neutral.

Lodi City Manager
Re: Blue Sheet for Item G-03 on July 20, 2016 City Council Meeting
I am not sure that I support this $10.00 Customer Charge as written in this Item G-03
Electrical Service. Nationally the AARP has fought against this type of rate increase. This
increase is a flat rate increase of $120.00 per year and effects fixed and low income electrical
users regardless whether they use any electricity or not. Currently the $5.25 Minimum Charge
is absorbed in the amount of KW usage the customer incurs each month and is not an
additional charge. I disagree that this $10.00 Customer Charge should be used as a subsidy for
high end users or solar customers.
When using my own utility billing and calculating the difference between my current rate
and the proposed rate in this item I appear to save between $6.00 and 9.00 dollars a month
depending on the time of year. I have to wonder when the other shoe will fall. The City
historically does not give money back to the Citizen rate payers. Is this roll back only
temporary in advance of another rate increase in January of 2017 or to be eaten up with an
ECA increase in the monthly billing?
I realize that the City under State mandate has to secure renewable energy resources as
presented in Item C-11 on the meeting of July 6, 2016 where the authorization was given to
have NCPA negotiate a Solar contract with SCPPA to the price in the high $30.00 per
megawatt -hour for 20 years. I have to ask since the Astoria 2 contract of a year and a half ago
was to about $64.00 per Megawatt -hour can the City reopen negotiation on that contract and
reduce the cost to match this current proposal?
The proposed changes in Item G-03 of July 20, 2016 to my knowledge have not been
presented to the Lodi Rate Payers in the detail presented here before tonight's meeting and
would hope the City Council will move to have further public hearings on the issue and allow
public input before enacting these changes.
Respectfully
Mike Lusk, Lodi
