RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
provide funding in the amount of $6,135.00 to fund the Public Benefits
Program Grant for the 631 E. Oak Street Building/Employment Development
Department Demand-side Management Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mr. Ron Slate, who owns the 631 E. Oak Street Building (leasing the space
to the Employment Development Department, State of California), opted to
retrofit his building mechanical equipment (heating & cooling system). By
way of this retrofit, the following new, high efficiency equipment was installed:
➢ one 5 -ton 11.0 Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) air conditioning unit; and
➢ one 7.5 -ton 11.0 EER air conditioning unit; and
➢ two 10 -ton 11.0 EER air conditioning units; and
➢ four programmable thermostats to operate the new mechanical equipment.
As a result of this new heating and cooling equipment, the customer will see a minimum reduction of 15 percent from
their monthly energy costs, and the new, high efficiency equipment has an operational life of approximately twelve to
fifteen years. The grant amount of $6,135.00 reflects the standard 20 percent rebate for energy efficiency
improvement projects of this size and scope.
The Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of this grant as a qualifying component of the City of Lodi
Public Benefits Program.
