A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO MAKE THE PROPOSED CHANGES IN REBATES AS PROVIDED
THROUGH THE CITY OF LODI PUBLIC BENEFITS PROGRAM
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 City of Lodi's Public Benefits Program is comprised of four
segments or customer groups: commercial/industrial, residential, community/non-profit, and
municipal; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility staff, in order to best utilize the Public Benefits Program
Fund, recommends the following rebate/dollar amounts be set for grants awarded in the
community:
20 percent rebate on all commercial/industrial demand-side management projects
(currently the rebate amount is 25 percent);
cap all rebates at $50,000 (not to exceed figure), regardless of the total amount of the
project to the commercial/industrial customer; and
any demand-side management project in excess of $10,000 shall be paid in two equal
installments (one payment every six months).
WHEREAS, due to the tremendous response from the community to the City's
Public Benefits Program, the aforementioned program rebate guidelines are recommended
in order to ensure that as many commercial/industrial customers may participate as
possible.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council authorizes the
City Manager to make the proposed changes as set forth above in rebates provided through
the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
Dated: June 20, 2001
