A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO RENEW THE PUBLIC BENEFITS PROGRAM - LODI AIR
DUCT TESTING & ATTIC INSULATION REBATE PROGRAM ($125,000)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 M 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, this project is the fourth in a series of projects specifically designed for Lodi
residential electric customers. The Lodi Residential Air Duct Testing & Attic Insulation Rebate Project
will provide up to a $250 rebate for duct repair, and up to a $250 rebate for attic insulation (not to
exceed $600 per service address) when a customer chooses to strengthen existing duct work, and/or
enhance the amount of attic insulation in their home, thus, reducing annual heating and cooling costs
by a minimum of 15%; and
WHEREAS, other specifics or guidelines of the project include:
• Rebate is only for City of Lodi electric utility customers;
• Rebates are available from September 5, 2001 and until such time as the funds are
exhausted;
• Rebates are good for single-family dwellings only (duplexes are acceptable; one per
customer service address); and
• Electric Utility staff will be responsible for providing rebates to residential customers.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to provide a
Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $125,000 to fund the Lodi Residential Air Duct Testing
& Attic Insulation Rebate Project, specifically designed for Lodi residential electric customers.
Dated: September 5, 2001
