RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to appropriate a Public Benefits Program grant in the
amount of $6,178 to Fairmont Seventh-Day Adventist Church for a
demand-side management project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Officials at Lodi's Fairmont Seventh-Day Adventist Church are
embarking a significant demand-side management project. The
church is located at 730 S. Fairmont Avenue. As part of the energy
efficiency improvements, the mechanical systems in the sanctuary and the fellowship hall will be
addressed. The project, with a total cost of $41,187.00*, will include:
➢ disconnection of the existing water-cooled compressors and refrigerant lines in both the sanctuary
and fellowship hail;
➢ install two (2) 20 -tan air-cooled condensing units (central air conditioning system) in the
sanctuary; both units have an Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of 10.5, which qualifies under the
City of Lodi energy efficiency standards for this size of system;
➢ install two (2) 10 -ton air cooled condensing units in the fellowship hall; both of these units have an
EER of 12.4, which also qualifies under the City of Lodi energy efficiency standards; and,
➢ install new digital programmable thermostats in both the sanctuary and fellowship hall.
*The rebate is 15 percent of the total project cost, which includes labor and materials. Fifteen percent
applied towards the total project cost of $41,187 equals a rebate of $6,178.
Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of this demand-side management grant as a
qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
