--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, the Department of Energy has been working to reduce our nation's
dependence on foreign oil; and
WHEREAS, the proposal for cities like Lodi would be to require that twenty percent
of all vehicles purchased be alternatively fueled by the year 2002; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department is pursuing a CNG program now
because Fleetstar Inc. is willing to invest over $250,000.00 in a CNG station in Lodi; and
WHEREAS, the fast -fill CNG station is to be located at E. F. Kludt & Sons on Pine
Street and Cluff Avenue and will serve the needs of the City's transit fleet, Caltrans, the
U.S. Postal Service and the Lodi Unified School District; and
WHEREAS, Fleetstar, a SJVUAPCD funding recipient, will invest in Lodi due to the
fact that the Public Works Department has secured over $1,100,000.00 in funding for new
CNG buses and CNG conversions; and
WHEREAS, Fleetstar is willing to lower its fuel price if the City agrees to help
defray the construction cost.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby approves the use of

construction costs of a Compressed Natural Gas Station in Lodi in exchange for a lower
