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, Scientific Specialties Inc. has installed high -efficiency lighting and
mechanical (heating and cooling systems) equipment at its office and manufacturing
facility located at 1310 E. Thurman Street. Specifically, this approved energy efficient

➢ 66 400 -watt metal halide lamps for the warehouse.
WHEREAS, the installation of this approved energy efficient equipment,
compared to standard, inefficient heating/cooling units, as well as lighting, will save the
customer in excess of 20 percent on their monthly energy costs. The grant amount of
$27,041.80 reflects the standard 20 percent rebate available for energy efficiency
improvement projects of this size and scope. The rebate will be paid in two equal
installments over the ensuing twelve months; and
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility staff recommends approval of this grant as a
qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program, Energy Services
Partnership program for large commercial and industrial customers.
