A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
PROGRAM GRANT — DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT
PROJECT TO LODI UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
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 $1 Million 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, the Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a
Public Benefits grant in the amount of $26,278.93 to fund a two-part demand-side
management or energy efficiency improvement project as follows:
Phase One (already complete) included: The installation of 36 high efficiency
(12.0 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating or SEER) air conditioning and heating
units at two school sites within the City limits of Lodi (Tokay High School and
Needham School); these 36 air conditioning and heating units replaced aging
and inefficient equipment (all with energy efficiency ratings at 10.0 SEER or
below).
Phase Two will include: The extension or enhancement of the existing energy
management system (otherwise known as an EMS) from the Lodi Unified School
District Maintenance & Operations Center to five school sites within the City limits
of Lodi (Tokay High School, Lodi High School, Lakewood School, Heritage
School and Vinewood School).
The extension of the energy management system to the additional school sites
will allow Lodi Unified School District personnel to effectively and efficiently
monitor and control air conditioning and heating systems from a remote location.
This upgrade reduces operations and maintenance expenses, while reducing
energy consumption (with the EMS upgrades, new controls will regulate and shut
off heating and cooling systems not needed based upon classroom or facility
occupancy/vacancy or use) at those various school locations. The installation of
the aforementioned equipment -both heating/cooling units and the energy
management systems- was/is to be performed by Lodi Unified School District
personnel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
authorizes the City Manager to provide a Public Benefits Program Grant in the amount of
$26,278.93 to Lodi Unified School District to fund a two-part demand-side management
or energy efficiency improvement project as set out above.
