AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of American Public Power Association Reliable Public Power
Provider Award
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2015
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION- Presentation of American Public Power Association Reliable
Public Power Provider Award.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The American Public Power Association (APPA) Reliable Public
Power Provider (RP3) Program recognizes public utilities that
demonstrate a high commitment to service, by demonstrating
proficiency in four key categories: reliability, safety, work force development, and system improvements.
Criteria within each of the four categories are measured and graded based upon sound business
practices, recognized industry best practices, and represent a utility -wide commitment to safety and the
reliable delivery of electricity. The RP3 Program shines a light on publicly owned utilities for the excellent
service they provide to their customers and their dedication to the communities they serve.
Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) was first designated as a gold level provider in 2013. This year, at the annual
APPA Engineering and Operations Technical Conference held in Sacramento May 18th, LEU moved up
to the next level, by being awarded a platinum RP3 recognition by the APPA. LEU was among a select
group of 40 utilities nationwide to earn the platinum public power provider designation, which represents
a high degree of improvement in all categories measured by the RP3 program.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not Applicable.
