A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
PROGRAM GRANT — DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT
PROJECT TO VINEYARD SHOPPING CENTER
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 $50,000.00 to fund the installation of a highly
reflective product known as white roof guard by Royal Roofing Company. Unlike the
silver coat or light gray reflective roofing materials commonly used over the past ten
years, the white roof guard product is now rated as the top reflective product on the
market. The Sacramento Tree Foundation, in conjunction with the California Energy
Commission, has approved this material for installation on commercial building rooftops
throughout the state; and
WHEREAS, a total of 125,000 square feet will be coated with white roof guard at
the Vineyard Shopping Center, reducing the roof's surface temperature by an average of
45 degrees on a typical Lodi summer day. This heat reduction on the roof then
translates into a significantly cooler store or room below the coated roof surface. In most
cases, occupants of a building where the white roof guard has been applied, reduce
cooling costs (air conditioning) by an average of fifty percent; and
WHEREAS, the Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $50,000 reflects
the maximum amount of funding available to any one commercial customer under the
Energy Services Partnership Program. The total cost for this white roof guard project is
$258,837. The grant will be paid in two equal installments over the next twelve months.
The City of Lodi Electric Utility respectfully recommends approval of this grant as a
qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
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
$50,000.00 to Vineyard Shopping Center to fund a demand-side management project as
set out above.
