A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFITS
PROGRAM GRANT — DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT PROJECT
TO MYERS & EBY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
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 Electric Utility Department recommends that the City provide a Public
Benefits grant in the amount of $9,004.50 to Myers & Eby Property Management who has installed a
cool roof (often referred to as a "white roof' or "sun reflective roof") at one of its properties,
The Crescent Apartments (315 S. Crescent Avenue); and
WHEREAS, a cool roof is a qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program
and is a recognized energy efficiency improvement by EnergyStart, the California Energy
Commission, and electric utility/service providers around the country; and
WHEREAS, a cool roof typically reduces "heat gain" (from the sun) through a roof and attic
space by approximately 20 degrees, creating a cooler environment inside the structure. A cooler
interior structure reduces the need for operating a central air conditioning system or single -room air
conditioners, thus reduced electric energy consumption; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to make the apartment complex more energy efficient, while
enhancing the strength and durability of the roof space, Myers & Eby Property Management opted
for a new, cool roofing product, covering 19,700 square feet of roof. The projected annual energy
savings are: 4,800 -kilowatt hours (kWh), and 3.5 kilowatts (kW/demand) facility -wide. These
projected energy savings will be realized by residents living in one of the 21 upstairs units in the
complex; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of this rebate as a
qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program in the category of demand-side
management or energy conservation.
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 $9,004.50 to Myers & Eby
Property Management to fund a demand-side management project as set out above.
