A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
PROGRAM GRANT — DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT PROJECT
TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE
------------------------------------------------------------------
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, the federal government is now completing construction of a new
Social Security Administration & Service Center facility at 2122 West Kettleman Lane,
Lodi, CA. As part of the facility's mechanical system, approved energy efficient
equipment and related materials have been installed, including:
• Six (6) high efficiency RUUD air conditioning units (a seasonal energy
efficiency rating of 12.0); and
• Seven (7) White -Rodgers Comfort -Set III digital programmable
thermostats.
WHEREAS, as a result of the installed high efficiency air conditioning units, the
Social Security Administration will reduce energy costs by nearly 20 percent on a
monthly basis. The programmable thermostats will also allow for more consistent
management of the facility's heating and cooling system; and
WHEREAS, this Public Benefits Program Grant in the amount of $7,100.00
reflects the standard 20 percent match for commercial customer energy conservation
improvement projects; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends approval of this project as an approved element
of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program, and designated energy conservation
measures for commercial projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
authorizes the City Manager to provide a Public Benefits Program Grant — demand-side
management project to the Social Security Office, in the amount $7,100.00.
