A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A SECOND AMENDED AND
RESTATED POOLING 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, the Second Amended and Restated Pooling Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions under which NCPA may provide Power Pool Management Services to members including, but
not limited to, load, resource and price forecasting, resource planning and optimization, energy and
capacity transaction activities, risk analysis and management, pre -scheduling, scheduling and dispatch
activities, power pool operations and settlement standards, contract administration and industry
restructuring, and advocacy activities; and
WHEREAS, the Second Amended and Restated Pooling 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 Second Amended and Restated Pooling 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 the Second Amended and Restated Pooling Agreement with NCPA.
