A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS CHARGE (PBC) GRANT TO
TWIN ARBORS ATHLETIC CLUB
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 $1M 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; and
WHEREAS, following the Electric Utility Department's review of Twin Arbors Athletic
Club, the following candidates emerged:
1.) This funding request in the amount of $22,535.00 would be utilized for the
installation of new, high efficiency air source heat pumps that will replace the 12 existing heat
pumps (which were commissioned in 1980). The air source heat pump units utilize the
refrigeration cycle for both cooling and heating. This innovative and energy efficient technology
serves as a conventional air conditioner while in the cooling mode, and then reverses the
refrigeration cycle in the heating mode, by removing heat from the outside conditions and
transferring it indoors for space heating. The total projected installed cost for the new air source
heat pumps is $75,739.00. Seventy-five percent of the total installed cost will be bome by the
customer. The Public Benefits Program grant request for the installation of the aforementioned
equipment totals $18,935.00.
2.) The additional request for $3,600.00 is for measurement and verification. The
City of Lodi Electric Utility will conduct periodic measurements at the Twin Arbors facility that will
serve as verification that the projected energy savings are being realized by the customer, and
that the installed equipment is performing as designed.
WHEREAS, the Twin Arbors Athletic Club, which operates three facilities in Lodi,
employs approximately 100 people. The family and individual health & fitness center has been
located at the S. Hutchins Street site since 1981; and
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a PBC
grant of 22,535.00 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 $22,535.00 to Twin Arbors
Athletic Club.
