A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXTEND THE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
BORISMETRICS TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IN THE AREAS OF
POWER SUPPLY AND RATES TO THE ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Department faces a number of issues related to the fast -
paced and volatile energy industry, which require professional assistance in order to efficiently
manage and position the utility through this transition period; and
WHEREAS, Boris Prokop was hired through a consulting agreement with his company,
Borismetrics, to perform the management and higher analysis duties of the former Business
Planning and Marketing Manager and the former Rates and Resources Manager; and
WHEREAS, Borismetrics is uniquely qualified to provide the needed expertise by virtue
of its direct experience and familiarity with the issues facing the City of Lodi and other California
electric utilities; and
WHEREAS, the services that Mr. Prokop has provided under the current contract have
proved to be very beneficial to the Electric Utility Department. The need and value of the
services are even more necessary during this environment of California electric industry
uncertainty. As part of his activities, he has implemented new analysis tools, including a
monthly revenue tracking and projection model, a power purchase tracking and projection
model, and a cost of service model; and
WHEREAS, in order to preserve the continuity of his knowledge in the areas of rates
and power supply for the City of Lodi, and given the rapid change in the electric utility industry,
there is a need to maintain the services by increasing the contract budget by an additional
$100,000.00, which may or may not be utilized and will be at the discretion of the Electric Utility
Director. This would carry his work through the end of the 2002 fiscal year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to extend the consulting services agreement with Borismetrics to
provide professional services in the areas of power supply and rates to the Electric Utility
Department at a cost not to exceed $100,000.00.
