A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONFIRMATION 0249 UNDER THE SUPPORT
SERVICES PROGRAM AGREEMENT WITH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA POWER
AGENCY FOR INCOME VERIFICATION AND RECERTIFICATION SERVICES
WHEREAS, Lodi Electric Utility (LEU), under its SHARE Program, provides income -
eligible customers a 30 percent discount on monthly electric charge; and
WHEREAS, the SHARE Program has historically been administered by City staff and
recertification of existing applicants has not been consistent due to the time and effort
associated with gathering and reviewing applicant information; and
WHEREAS, after a thorough review of the recertification and income verification
process, management staff has determined the process can be more efficiently and effectively
administered by a third -party administrator with expertise managing similar processes for other
agencies; and
WHEREAS, authorized by Resolution No. 2016-162, the Shared Services Program
Agreement (SSPA) with Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) provides an opportunity for
Lodi to use pre -approved vendors and contracts for services by executing a Confirmation for
those specific services; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2016-162 appointed the City Manager, Electric Utility
Director, together with the City Attorney, as designated representatives under the SSPA and
authorized the delegated authorities for amounts not to exceed $20,000 and $15,000,
respectively; and
WHEREAS, the amount of this request exceeds the authorization of Resolution
No. 2016-162 and therefore requires City Council approval; and
WHEREAS, the proposed income verification and recertification services includes
$85,710 in direct services to be provided by Central Coast Energy Services, Inc., and $6,460 in
NCPA administrative program costs through June 2025; and
WHEREAS, income -eligibility determination is an important part of ensuring Public
Benefits Funds are being used in accordance with existing State regulations and using a third -
party administrator will streamline the process and provide for operational efficiencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute Confirmation 0249 under the Support Services Program
Agreement with Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) for income verification and
recertification services in an amount not to exceed $92,170; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize the
rollover of funds from Account No. 50465300.72450 in the amount of $30,000 from Fiscal Year
