THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
PROGRAM GRANT TO FUND THE LODI EXPORT GROUP

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, the Lodi Export Group has requested the Lodi Electric Utility to
explore energy supply options; and
WHEREAS, in consultation with Planergy International, it was recommended that
Lodi Export Group temporarily- install a back-up power source that would enable the
company to sufficiently weather any potential rolling power outages; and
WHEREAS, as a result of Lodi Export Group's inquiry, the City of Lodi Electric
Utility proposes a pilot project whereby the customer (Lodi Export Group) utilize their
back-up power source when requested by the utility. In the event energy curtailments
over the ensuing months, Lodi Export Group, by way of this pilot project, would
temporarily disconnect from the City power grid, and operate on a back-up electric
energy source; and
WHEREAS, the Public Benefits Program grant requested for this load
management pilot project totals fifty percent of the entire project cost to Lodi Export
Group, which includes a new electric panel and a 180 kW back-up electric supply unit.
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
$17,765.50 to fund the Lodi Export Group Load Management Pilot Project.
