RECOMMENDED ACTION Presentation of proclamation proclaiming the week of October 4-
10,2020, as "Public Power Week" in Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) is celebrating Public Power Week,
October 4-10, along with more than 2,000 other community-owned,
not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 49
million Americans. This is an opportunity to remind the community of the importance of public power to
local citizens and other state and national officials. Public Power week is focused on "Powering Strong
Communities."
LEU's mission is to be "your customer-owned energy partner committed to the needs of the community;
providing courteous, professional service for safe, reliable, and competitively-priced power." Since 1910,
the year when the utility began serving the citizens and businesses of Lodi, LEU has been dedicated to
being "large enough to meet your needs and small enough to care."
For 24 years LEU staff has hosted an open house to educate elementary aged students by showing them
demonstrations from our Electric Line crews in addition to teaching them about electric safety practices.
This year LEU will be hosting a virtual tour with our Line Staff and Administrative Staff.
Senior Administration Clerk Whiteman will be accepting the proclamation on behalf of LEU from Mayor
Doug Kuehne.
