Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - June 16, 1999 E-14CITY OF LODI COUNCIL 1 1 AGENDA TITLE: Public Benefits Program Grant — Lodi Community Service Center ($3,920) MEETING DATE: June 16, 1999 PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve a Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $3,920 for the Lodi Community Service Center. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi Public Benefits Program is divided into four categories: renewables, assistance for low-income customers, demand-side management, and research, design & development. In addition, the Public Benefits Program has four main customer groups, and is segmented as follows: 1) residential, 2) community/ non- profit, 3) commercial/industrial, and 4) municipal. This particular grant request is categorized as assistance for low- income customers, and is identified as a community/non-profit sector grant. Specifically, the Lodi Community Service Center is requesting $3,920 for the purchase and installation of one, new energy efficient 72 cubic foot commercial freezer. The new freezer will replace five existing freezers (each is approximately 10 cubic foot in size) which have reached their expected useful life. The Lodi Community Service Center, located at 415 S. Sacramento Street, provides a variety of services for low- income families in our community, including employment information, tax & legal services, and language & residency assistance. In addition, the Lodi Community Service Center provides clothing and food for families and individuals in need. The new freezer will be utilized to store locally donated perishable food items, which are then given to low- income families and individuals. On average, the Lodi Community Service Center provides some 75 bags of perishable and non-perishable food items each week in our city. The City of Lodi Electric Utility respectfully recommends approval of this funding request as a qualifying grant under the Public Benefits Program.

Vallow, Director City of Lodi Electric Utility 1331 South Ham Lane Lodi, California 95242-3995 Dear Mr. Vallow: To reduce the elements of the poverty cycle, the San Joaquin County Human Services Agency has developed programs and services which empower individuals and families to move towards safety, stability and wholeness. This is accomplished through the coordination of services provided at seven independently operated community service centers within the County. The Lodi Community Service Center, located at 415 South Sacramento Street, is one such facility and serves the greater Lodi area. Our services: * address immediate needs of individuals and families by providing food, clothing, and referral to other local service providers; and * promote self sufficiency for disadvantaged area residents by providing education programs, language and residency assistance, employment information, tax and legal services. In our efforts to provide for the immediate needs of area residents, the Lodi Community Service Center accepts and disburses food donations from local growers and grocery stores. In 1998, thousands of individuals received benefit of this service. Our facility would like to purchase one 72 cubic foot commercial freezer to store donated perishables. This freezer would allow us to retire five existing freezers that rely upon heavy electric usage due to their age. We would like to request a donation in the amount $3,891.36 from the City of Lodi Electric Utility Public Benefit Funds to assist us in this regard. Attached are copies of the following documents to support our request. * The Lodi Community Service Center Vision and Mission Statements; * A copy of the Price Quote from Jergen's Inc.; and * A copy of the freezer description, which includes general product features. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please call me at (209) 331-7516 if you have any questions pertaining to this possible freezer purchase or would like more information on any of our community service programs.
