RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set a public hearing for September 19, 2018 to consider introducing an
ordinance amending Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 13.20 — Electrical
Service — by repealing and re-enacting Section 13.20.315, "Schedule
EDR — Economic Development Rate" to reenact the electric utility rate
discount from December 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since July 2013, the City of Lodi has offered businesses two
temporary electric rate discounts: New Business and New Jobs. To
date, 47 business customers have applied to receive one of the two
rate discounts. In calendar year 2017, this resulted in a total savings of approximately $414,000 for the
participating businesses, and the savings from January to June of this year have been $85,746. Both of
these rate discounts expired on June 30, 2018. Staff recommends both rate discounts, which serve as
excellent economic development incentive tools for the City of Lodi, be reenacted for a five-year period,
from December 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023. If reenacted, the program would continue to operate in
accordance with the following ordinance requirements:
New Business Rate Discount: Provided for 12 consecutive months; new businesses assigned to the
G2, G3, G4, G5, or I1 electric rate will receive a 5 percent discount per month; and new businesses
assigned to the G1 electric rate will receive a "flat monthly credit" of $25 per month.
New Jobs Rate Discount: Provided for 12 consecutive months; all new hires must be net new, full-time
positions validated at the inception of the discount and then again in the sixth and twelfth months; there is
a maximum 8 percent rate discount available; and the discount is provided in "bands" as shown below:
Number of New, Full -Time Employees Percentage Discount
1-3 2%
4-6 4%
7-9 6%
10+ 8%
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact for the proposed five-year discount reenactment will be
dependent upon the total number of program participants.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
