RESOLUTION NO. 98-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
CHARGE (PBC) GRANT TO PACIFIC COAST PRODUCERS, INC.
(PCP)
WHEREAS, the State has mandated that beginning January 1, 1998, the City of
Lodi is obligated to fund various programs through a Public Benefits Charge (PBC)
based on a historical electric revenue requirement; and
WHEREAS, the requirement amount to approximately $1 M per year that must be
dedicated to qualifying programs such as energy efficiency. A further stipulation is that
these efforts must be done on the customer's side of the meter in order to qualify.
WHEREAS, following the Electric Utility Department's review of Pacific Coast
Producers' extensive facility upgrade, the following candidates emerged:
1. Plant lighting upgrade ($65,000). PCP proposes to install new
energy efficient lighting in the portion of its Tokay Street facility;
and
2. Plant boiler generator back-up ($80,000). This is more commonly
referred to as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Due to the
critical nature of the boiler controls during the canning season,
PCP is installing a back-up generator. To further protect the
boiler control system during the interval when power has been
interrupted and the back-up generator has not yet reached full
output, PCP needs to install a UPS. This item affects reliability,
energy usage and efficiency since PCP must discard product and
use additional quantities of electric energy to recover lost product
output.
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a
PBC grant of $125,000 toward the above upgrades and include the cost of the grant as
part of the City's required PBC outlay.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes the City
Manager to provide a Public Benefits Charge (PBC) Grant in the amount of $125,000 to
Pacific Coast Producers, Inc.
