A RESOLUTION OF THE LODt CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE ELECTRIC
UTILITY DEPARTMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS NO. 15, ESTABLISHING
A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SUBSTATION SYSTEM CHARGE ON NEW
DEVELOPMENTS OUTSIDE EXISTINGCITY LIMITSAS OF AUGUST 1,2006
WHEREAS, presently the cost of constructing new transmission lines and substation facilities for
the distribution system is provided by the Electric Utility Department (EUD) without any cost contributions
by new developers; and
WHEREAS, presently, EUDs existing four distribution substations have sufficient capacity for
existing and in -fill development within the city: and
WHEREAS, in the short-term, new developments outside existing city boundaries can also be
served from existing substations, and in the long-term, new substations may be required in the
west/southwest and/or south/southwest areas of the community to reliably accommodate expanded
growth beyond current city boundaries; and
WHEREAS, based on typical EUD substation and transmission facilities design, the estimated
cost of constructing a new substation and its associated transmission system is $7,864,500 (in 2006
dollars). The corresponding cost per kVA (kilovolt -amperes) is $163.84, which is calculated using the
48MVA (megavolt -amperes) effective capacity of EU Ds standard substation; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends the establishment of a Substation and Transmission System
Charge to be assessed as a development impact fee upon future EUD electric load outside City
boundaries as they exist on August 1,2006. The initial amount of such charge would be $163.84 per kVA
of computed new electrical load. This charge would be adjusted annually beginning January 1, 2008,
based on changes in the Producer Price Index for Electric Power Distribution: and
WHEREAS, a separate account shall be established under EUDs Capital Improvement Project
Funds for the collected fees and funds shall be expended only for the construction of new transmission
and substation lines and shall not be commingled with other capital facilities accounts. The proposed
amendment to EUD's Rules and Regulations No. 15 (Extension of Facilities) is shown in AttachmentA
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby amends Electric Utility
Department's Rules and Regulations No. 15, establishing a new Transmission and Substation System
Charge and approves assessment of this fee on new developments outside City boundaries as they exist
on August 1,2006; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVEDthat this Resolution shall take effect on April 9, 2007.

CITY OF LODI
ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT
AMENDMENT TO RULE AND REGULATION NO. 15
(EXTENSION OF FACILITIES)
Existing Section D.3 of Rule and Regulation No. 15 is amended
by the addition of a new Subsection "c" to read as follows:
D. Line Extensions
3. City's Responsibility:
C. Furnish and construct transmission line (60kV) and distribution
substation facilities to accommodate new development within
the service area. The projected costs of such facilities shall be
shared proportionately based on the electrical capacity
requirements of new electric load, as determined by EUD.
These projected costs shall include labor, materials, equipment
and infrastructure to construct necessary transmission line and
distribution substation facilities.
A "Transmission & Substation System Charge" shall be
assessed to new developments and/or electric load outside City
boundaries as such boundaries exist on August 1, 2006. The
amount of this charge ($163.84 per kVA of computed new
electrical load) shall be documented in the Schedule of Charges
attached to EUD's Rules and Regulations.
The amount of the Transmission & Substation System Charge
shall be revised annually beginning January 1, 2008 based on
the change in the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics' Producer Price Index (PPI) for Electric Power
Distribution between the PPI for the month of June of the prior
two calendar years. If there is a change in this charge between
the time of application for electric service and the actual
payment of charges, the charge in effect at the time of payment
shall apply.
