A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS CHARGE (PBC) GRANT TO
HAZEL'S RESTAURANT
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 Hazel's Restaurant, two
specific energy conservation measures emerged:
1.) The first component entails the purchase and installation of a new, high
efficiency air conditioning/heating unit. The 4 -ton commercial single pack unit
contains an integrated economizer, which allows a fixed percentage of outdoor
ventilation air through the unit. An outdoor thermostat on the unit detects when
it is appropriate to bring in outdoor air whenever the temperature of the outdoor
air alone is sufficient to provide indoor cooling. This unique feature not only
saves energy, but also prolongs the life of the air conditioning/heating unit.
2.) The second phase of the Hazel's Restaurant demand-side management project
entails the purchase and installation of one (1) energy efficient Halo Heat
convection oven. This cooking unit will cook and hold foods, using only one-
third to one-half the energy of conventional cooking or warming equipment. In
addition, the installation of this particular piece of equipment is an excellent
example of fuel -switching, whereby the customer utilizes electricity over other
forms of energy, to operate a state-of-the-art, highly efficient component.
WHEREAS, the actual Public Benefits Program grant of $3,735.00 represents 25% of
the total installed cost of the aforementioned projects. The total demand-side management
project request for Hazel's Restaurant is $14,939.00; and
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a PBC
grant of $3,735.00 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 $3,735.00 to Hazel's
Restaurant.
