A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A POWER MANAGEMENT AND
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA POWER AGENCY
WHEREAS, the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) currently provides various Power
Management and Administrative services to the City of Lodi pursuant to multiple service based
agreements including a Facilities Agreement (FA), Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement (SCPA),
and Pooling Agreement (PA); and
WHEREAS, many of these agreements were developed prior to the deregulation of the wholesale
electric industry and therefore require modification to make them consistent with current electric utility
industry requirements; and
WHEREAS, updates to these agreements are also needed to ensure consistency with how costs
associated with such services are allocated to NCPA members in accordance with current NCPA
Commission approved policies; and
WHEREAS, NCPA has developed a new agreement, the Power Management and Administrative
Services Agreement, that will work together with the updated FA, SCPA, and PA; and
WHEREAS, the Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement will act as a routing
agreement to clearly identify which service agreements a member is required to sign in order to take
certain services from NCPA and how costs . associated with Power Management and Administrative
Services are allocated among the members who receive such services from NCPA; and
WHEREAS, the Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement has been written to
mitigate cross -member risk and is structured to insulate members who do not take certain services from
NCPA from risks inherent in the services and transactions undertaken by NCPA on behalf of any given
member or group of members; and
WHEREAS, the Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement is designed to
clearly assign costs attributed to particular services and to ensure that members who take certain services
are obligated to assume all obligations that result from NCPA's actions in performing the services; and
WHEREAS, the Risk Oversight Committee received a report on this agenda item and
recommends City Council approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize the City
Manager to execute a Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement with NCPA.
