A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS CHARGE (PBC) GRANT TO
THE SALVATION ARMY
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 amounts 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 The Salvation Army,
one specific energy conservation measure emerged:
1.) This Public Benefits Program grant would be utilized for the purchase and installation of
a new, combination walk-in medium temperature cooler and a —10 degrees Fahrenheit
temperature freezer for the Salvation Army facility on Lockeford Street. The entire unit is
referred to as a 20' x 30' box. This new, high -efficiency walk-in freezer/cooler unit would
replace the existing walk-in unit, as well as two other freezer units that have either reached their
expected useful life, or have failed in recent months due to the age of the units.
With the warm, summer season rapidly approaching, the Salvation Army is desirous of
replacing the existing unit with a new, high efficiency unit in the ensuing weeks. In addition, the
Salvation Army personnel has seen a steady increase in the demand for its goods and services,
particularly in the area of providing both dry and perishable food items to eligible families in our
community. At this time, the Salvation Army provides over 100 bags of groceries per day on
Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Thursday's to families in the Lodi area.
This funding request qualifies as a candidate under the Public Benefits Program, Low -Income
Customer Assistance category. The grant request is for a total of $36,500.00.
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a PBC
Grant - Low Income Customer Assistance Project of $36,500.00 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 $36,500.00 to The Salvation
Army.
