A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH
JACO ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., TO COORDINATE AND
MANAGE THE LODI REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
RECYCLING PROJECT
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi Electric Utility has previously offered the Lodi
Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Project on two occasions in 2002 to residential/small
commercial electric utility customers. Both efforts were extremely successful with just over 700
used, inefficient refrigerators and/or freezers being recycled here in our community. As a
result of these two successful endeavors and a grant in the amount of $25,000.00 from the
California Energy Commission, the City of Lodi Electric Utility is proposing to offer the program
once again this month. The project is designed as follows:
➢ The recycling program will begin on February 10, 2003, and be offered to
Lodi residential and small commercial customers until funds are
exhausted.
A Customers must receive their electric utility service from the City of Lodi.
➢ Customers will receive a rebate in the amount of $35 for each working
refrigerator or freezer—maximum rebate will be $35 per customer service
address. The City of Lodi will accept non -working refrigerators or
freezers (one per customer service address); however, no rebate will be
provided to the customer.
A The City of Lodi Electric Utility will contract with JACO Environmental,
Inc., for all customer contact, refrigerator/freezer pick-up, and appropriate
disposal.
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi Electric Utility has three main goals for this project:
1) promote and encourage proper recycling of aging refrigerators and freezers;
2) further protect our environment by ensuring that old refrigerators and freezers
are not dumped in alley ways, parking lots, vacant lots, or surrounding
agricultural property; and
3) promote energy conservation for local residents and business owners by
assisting in the removal of aging and energy inefficient appliances.
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi Electric Utility recommends authorizing the City Manager to
execute a contract with JACO Environmental, Inc., to coordinate and manage the Lodi
Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Project utilizing grant funding in the amount of $25,000.00
received from the California Energy Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes
the City Manager to execute a contract with JACO Environmental, Inc., to coordinate and
manage the Lodi Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Project utilizing grant funding in the amount of
$25,000.00 received from the California Energy Commission; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this program will begin on February 10, 2003, and
shall continue until funds are exhausted.
