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 the City of Lodi Parks & Recreation Department Lodi Lake Youth Area Lighting Project, one specific energy conservation measure emerged: 1.) This Public Benefits Program Grant for a total of $5,600.00 would be utilized for the purchase of five (5) new energy efficient lights and related materials at the Lodi Lake Youth Area. Currently, the lighting in this specific area is grossly inadequate to meet the needs of the general public utilizing this picnic and social area. The increased lighting will provide improved visibility and safety for dusk and evening functions on the walking path and picnic area, while not severely impacting the natural wildlife habitat in and around this given area. WHEREAS, the actual Public Benefits Program grant of $5,600,00 represents the cost of the materials only. The labor involved in completing the project will be performed by City of Lodi personnel, and associated labor costs borne by participating departments; and WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a PBC grant of $5,600.00 toward the above upgrade 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 (PSC) Grant in the amount of $5,600.00 to the City of Lodi Parks & Recreation Department Lodi Lake Youth Area Lighting Project.
