MANAGER TO ALLOCATE PUBLIC BENEFITS PROGRAM FUNDS FOR
THE ELECTRONIC WASTE CLEAN-UP DAY AND FURTHER

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 an
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 City of Lodi's Public Benefits Program is comprised of four segments or
customer groups: commercial/industrial, residential, community/non-profit, and municipal; and
The Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day is another in the series of environmental programs
funded through the City of Lodi's Public Benefits Program. The intent of this new effort is to
assist Lodi electric utility customers with the proper disposal and recycling of aging and energy
inefficient computer monitors, computer hardware, and television sets. The program is also
designed to showcase and promote the purchase of EnergyStar0 computers and television
sets. The program specifics include the following:
> the event will take place on Saturday, August 14, 2004, 7:00 a,m. until 10:00 a.m.;
> the location of the event will be the public parking lot adjacent to the Kofu Park Tennis
Courts on Ham Lane (in close proximity to Lodi's Municipal Service Center);
> eligible customers — in order to drop-off an old computer and/or television set for disposal
and recycling, customers must show a current California drivers license, as well as a copy
of their City of Lodi utility bill or statement;
> computer software, television antennas, cable boxes, and cardboard boxes will not be
accepted for disposal or recycling;
> upon the disposal of their computer and/or television set, the first one -hundred fifty (150)
eligible customers will receive a coupon for $50,00 off the purchase of one (1)
EnergyStar computer system or television set; the energy efficient home electronics
product must be purchased from a Lodi retailer.
WHEREAS, in order to successfully complete this project, Electric Utility staff is
recommending the use of Teris LLC/MSE Environmental. This organization completed a similar
recycling project in the spring of 2004 for San Joaquin County's Public Works Department, and
has coordinated numerous household hazardous waste recycling projects for municipalities
throughout central and northern California; and
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, Teris LLC/MSE Environmental is considered a leader in the recycling
industry in the United States and maintains three field offices in California (Benicia, Camarillo,
and Wilmington). Due to its extensive background and work with municipal agencies in
California, Electric Utility staff respectfully requests that the Lodi City Council dispense with
going out to bid pursuant to Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070; and
WHEREAS, this project, which promotes energy conservation, also assists customers
with the disposal and proper recycling of aging home electronics products; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of the Electronic
Waste Clean -Up Day 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 allocate Public Benefits Program funds for Lodi's first annual Electronic Waste
Clean-up Day in the amount of $25,000.00; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute a
contract with Teris LLC/MSE Environmental to provide disposal and recycling services for this
program.
