A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
PROGRAM GRANT TO FUND THE VALLEY INDUSTRIES
LIGHTING RETROFIT/DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT PROJECT
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
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 $1M 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, Valley Industries, located at 1313 S. Stockton Street, has embarked
upon one of the largest lighting retrofits since the inception of Lodi's Public Benefits
Program in mid-1998. The lighting retrofit is in two phases, the first of which is now
complete, and the second phase is slated for installation by November of this year; and
WHEREAS, specifically, Valley Industries is removing all existing lighting from
the manufacturing plant (nearly 86,000 square feet of space) in 2002, and replacing the
aging, inefficient lighting with the following high efficiency product:
➢ three_hundred (300) 400 -watt pulse start metal halide lamps/fixtures with
mirrored -reflectors and sealed refractors; and
➢ Valley Industries is removing the some 350 eight -foot T-12 fluorescent lamps
and magnetic ballasts, which are scattered throughout the facility; and
WHEREAS, the high efficiency lighting will reduce energy consumption by a
minimum of 10 percent annually (this figure is based upon current and future run-time of
the various lights inside the manufacturing plant, and the price of electricity supplied to
the site). The Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $39,794.00 reflects the
standard 20 percent rebate for demand-side management projects, including lighting
retrofits, provided to commercial and industrial customers; and
WHEREAS, the Electric Utility staff recommends approval of this grant as an
approved element 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 $39,794.00 to fund the Valley Industries Lighting Retrofit/Demand Side Management
Project.
