Roll Call by City Clerk

An Informal Informational Meeting ("Shirtsleeve" Session) of the Lodi City Council was held Tuesday, November 5, 2013, commencing at 7:00 a.m. Present: Council Member Hansen, Council Member Johnson, Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, and Mayor Nakanishi Absent: Council Member Mounce Also Present: City Manager Bartlam, City Attorney Schwabauer, and City Clerk Johl-Olson B.

Topic(s)

B-1

Receive Information on the San Joaquin Council of Governments State Route 99 Lodi Operational Improvements Feasibility Study (PW)

Public Works Director Wally Sandelin and Juann Ramos of Dokken Engineering provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the State Route 99 Lodi Operational Improvements Feasibility Study. Donald Mascardo of San Joaquin Council of Governments also participated in the presentation. Specific topics of discussion included background and purpose, corridor characteristics, feasibility study, study findings, traffic operations, mainline and ramp collision data, project hot spots, aerial photographs, recommended alternatives, alternative comparisons, and funding. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Ramos confirmed that the long-term goal is to make the highway six lanes extending to Sacramento County. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Ramos stated all participants, including San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), is being conscious about how to improve the corridor for the long-term versus short-term fixes and the costs associated with the same. A brief discussion ensued between Council Member Hansen, Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, and Mr. Ramos regarding the challenges associated with speed and acceleration at the Turner Road interchange. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Ramos stated the original purpose of the study was to identify short-term operational and safety improvements that could be completed within the next five years. In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Deputy Public Works Director Charlie Swimley stated the goal of the Shirtsleeve Session today is to receive some input from the City Council on the various alternatives presented and the costs associated with the same. In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Mr. Swimley stated staff previously chose Alternative 4 in order to apply for Regional Transportation Impact Fee funds, for which the City was not selected. Mr. Swimley stated staff is looking for feedback on all alternatives that appeal to the City Council currently, which SJCOG will also take into consideration for funding opportunities. In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Swimley stated the final decision will be made by SJCOG and CalTrans and the City of Lodi is a stakeholder whose feedback will be considered

when the final decision is made. A brief discussion ensued amongst the City Council regarding the qualifications and ability of the City Council to identify viable alternatives. In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, Mr. Mascardo stated SJCOG will continue to work with City staff and CalTrans to better define the alternatives and as the study nears completion SJCOG will attempt to gain specific funding for the various alternatives identified. In response to City Manager Bartlam, Mr. Mascardo stated SJCOG would like to take advantage of any cost savings from current County projects to apply to the Lodi project, which is why it is attempting to identify viable alternatives currently. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley stated round-abouts are inherently more safe than a four-way intersection and reduce the likelihood of accidents. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Ramos stated Harney Lane improvements will likely happen with enhanced growth in the area whereas on Turner Road the improvements are needed currently. A brief discussion ensued amongst Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, Mayor Nakanishi, and Mr. Bartlam regarding Alternative 5. In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Mr. Swimley stated there will be additional information provided in the future on the alternatives as SJCOG moves forward with the project. Myrna Wetzel spoke in regard to the number of check marks listed for each alternative on the alternative comparison sheet and urged the City Council to consider the same when selecting an alternative.

Topic(s)

B-1

Receive Information on the City of Lodi Street Maintenance Program (PW)

Deputy Public Works Director Charlie Swimley provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the City of Lodi Street Maintenance Program. Specific topics of discussion included overview, street infrastructure, street classifications, pavement types, pavement condition vs. time, signs of pavement stress, treatment types and costs, last ten years, where the City is going, funding, sidewalks and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps, 2013 sidewalk survey, ADA ramp survey and data, and ADA improvements. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley stated the City averages ten ADA ramps a year at approximately $100,000 either in conjunction with roadway work or as part of a standalone ADA project. The Ham Lane project will exceed that average this year. In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Mr. Swimley stated that road construction is generally done the same way, however the design will vary based on the traffic index. In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Swimley stated that the type of road application used is based on a combination of type of soil underneath and anticipated load. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley concurred that portions of the Ham Lane project were base failure repairs prior to the overlay and the total project cost was $1.2 million. Council Member Mounce questioned why the recent alley reconstruction projects no longer include striping the alleyways, to which Mr. Swimley responded he would look into the matter. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley stated the cost of asphalt materials had been increasing due to the rising cost of oil and petroleum, but prices are starting to stabilize. In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Mr. Swimley explained that the maintenance project cost was significantly higher in 2005 due to the Lower Sacramento Road widening project and he anticipated another high year for the forthcoming grade separation project. In further response, Mr. Swimley stated he expects the Citywide inspection of each street to be completed in spring. In response to Council Member Hansen, City Manager Bartlam stated the gas tax fluctuates based on how much gas is sold, not on the price of gas. Public Works Director Wally Sandelin added that the City did see a slight dip during the recession, but it appears to be on the rise. In

further response, Mr. Sandelin assured that staff, with assistance from San Joaquin Council of Governments, is aware of all available funding sources for street projects. In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Katzakian, Mr. Sandelin stated that State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding has a federal and a state component, however over the past six to seven years the City has not received state STIP funding, only federal. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley explained that the yellow tactile strips on handicap ramps became a requirement for all ADA ramps installed after 2007. Mr. Bartlam added that the requirement is part of the building code, the strips are expensive to install, and they are for the visually impaired to warn of upcoming traffic conditions. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley stated that the Lockeford Street project has been pushed out a couple of years and instead the focus will be on Turner Road improvements between Loma Drive and Pleasant Avenue because the road conditions are much worse and there is a heavier traffic load. The projected time line for this project is design phase this year with construction taking place in 2014. In response to Council Member Mounce, Mr. Sandelin stated that the traffic signal project for the Lockeford and Stockton Street intersection has also been pushed out, however staff could have plans ready to bid in a few months. There could be some delay due to right-of-way negotiations with the railroad. Mr. Sandelin added that staff is currently performing an analysis of traffic signal intersections, both signalized and non-signalized, and will come back to Council in spring with a prioritized list. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley stated all traffic signals have either a traffic loop or camera to handle timing. Mr. Bartlam added that the City does not control Caltrans signals. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Swimley stated citizens can report poor street or traffic signal conditions by calling Public Works or the 24-hour service number. Mr. Bartlam added that there is an on-line reporting function as well. Mr. Sandelin pointed out that the design standard for streets changed approximately 15 years ago to account for the increase in trucks, buses, and fire engines and many of the older streets have yet to be brought up to the current standard. In response to Mayor Nakanishi, City Attorney Schwabauer stated some communities have passed ordinances to make homeowners responsible for sidewalks but Lodi does not have such an ordinance. In Lodi, responsibility for a sidewalk would fall on the City because it owns the right of way; however, if a homeowner's tree roots uplift the sidewalk or the sprinklers cause the sidewalk to be slippery, then the homeowner would have primary liability. Should a homeowner be sued and unable to pay, the City would most likely make up the difference. There is no obligation to have a sidewalk and the lack of a sidewalk would not be cause for liability. Myrna Wetzel questioned why some sidewalks are concrete while others are asphalt and what determines the speed limit on streets. Mr. Swimley responded that sidewalk is concrete in order to be ADA compliant, and Mr. Bartlam added that some areas may have asphalt on the surface to make the area more walkable, however they are not considered sidewalks. Mr. Swimley explained that residential speed limits are 25 miles per hour and arterial and collector street speed limits are subject to speed surveys every seven years and are based on the 85th percentile. Mr. Schwabauer added that the City must adhere to the 85th percentile rule in order to enforce speed limits.

Currently, these ponds are only partially fenced on the southern border. In order to minimize the potential for liability, the full perimeter of the ponds needs to be fenced, preventing unauthorized public access into the ponds. This project includes approximately 4,800 lineal feet of fence and three access gates. The layout of the fencing will allow public access to the existing wildlife viewing area at the northeast corner of Pond 3. Specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is December 12, 2013. The project estimate is $100,000. FISCAL IMPACT:

This work has already been included in the FY 2013/14 budget.

FUNDING AVAILABLE:

Funding will be identified at project award.

AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Approve the Sole Source Purchase of Replacement Dump Truck from Downtown Ford Sales of Sacramento and Appropriating Funds ($43,250)

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:

Electric Utility Director

Adopt a resolution authorizing City Manager to approve the sole source purchase of replacement dump truck from Downtown Ford Sales of Sacramento, and appropriating funds ($43,250).

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The Electric Utility (EU) currently uses a 1979 dump truck for hauling material and large transformers to and from job sites. With nearly 40,000 miles and more than 30 years of service life, it has outlived its usefulness and is no longer safe to operate. Replacement parts are not available and the extensive amount of downtime due to breakdown renders this vehicle unusable to EU field staff. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

To date, the EU has spent over $45,000 on repairs. The vehicle currently remains out of service, awaiting replacement parts to the braking system that are not available or far more costly than any remaining service life this vehicle will provide. EU staff began researching replacement vehicles via the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) and located a 2010 Ford F-450 dump truck, new and unregistered at Downtown Ford Sales that was on the 2010 CMAS list. This vehicle is sufficiently equipped as-is to address EU needs and comes with an as-new warranty. A comparably equipped vehicle will cost in excess of $50,000. Downtown Ford Sales has provided a quote of $39,950 for this new vehicle as attached in Exhibit A, resulting in a replacement vehicle cost savings of approximately $10,000. Per Lodi Municipal Code 3.20.070 Bidding, “Bidding shall be dispensed…(5) when the City Council determines that the purchase or method of purchase would be in the best interest of the city.” EU staff requests the City Manager be authorized approve this purchase and to make an appropriation adjustment based upon the final estimated price of $43,250, which includes the purchase price of $39,950 plus all taxes and fees. FISCAL IMPACT:

Additional funds required from Electric Utility Outlay Reserve Fund balance.

FUNDING AVAILABLE:

Requested Appropriation: Electric Utility Outlay Reserve Fund (161.3205) $43,250 An appropriation adjustment form is attached.

Ground to Bottom of Platform Height: 79.8 feet at 4.0 feet from centerline of rotation (24.3 m at 1.2 m) Working Height: 84.8 feet (25.8 m) Maximum Reach to Edge of Platform with Upper Boom Overcenter: 46.8 feet (14.3 m) Maximum Reach to Edge of Platform with Upper Boom Non-overcenter and Lower Boom at 100 degrees: 34.7 feet (10.6 m) Double Elevator Design provides approximately 13 feet (4.0 m) of additional side reach to the rear of the truck when the lower elevator arm is raised to its maximum articulation and the upper elevator arm remains parallel to the truck. Double Elevator: consists of two subframe mounted structural lifting members that support the aerial device. The elevator base is installed over the rear axle allowing the aerial device pedestal to be installed at the upper end of the elevator or at the rear of the vehicle when in the stored position. This allows the conventional storage of the aerial device booms over the chassis cab. The aerial device pedestal remains parallel to the chassis regardless of the position of the elevator. This is accomplished utilizing Elevator Links which form a parallelogram with the subbase and the pedestal. The elevator mechanism is raised by dual, double acting cylinders located on the elevator arms which remain in compression at all times. In the travel position the cylinder rod is not exposed. The elevator design allows for a cushion effect at each extreme of the cylinder travel. This prevents the abrupt or hard jolt when the elevator is stored or when it reaches its maximum elevation. The articulation range is 0 to 90 degrees on each of the elevator arms. Bubble level indicators are installed at each outrigger control location and at lower controls to permit the operator to level the chassis for equipment operation. The elevator is controlled through a separate individual control lever located at the platform controls and at the lower controls. The platform control consists of a single lever with a selector for either upper or lower elevator arm operation. Hydraulic system design permits operation of any three boom functions simultaneously at full individual function speed if desired. Pedestal and Turntable: Box structure design with large service openings, 1.25 inch (32 mm) top plate of pedestal and stiffened 1.25 inch (32 mm) bottom plate of turntable machined after welding to provide a rigid, flat mounting surface for the rotation bearing. This extends the life of the bearing and reduces life cycle cost. We Wish To Thank You For Giving Us The Pleasure And Opportunity of Serving You UTILITY EQUIPMENT AND BODIES SINCE 1929

Rotation: Continuous rotation provided by worm gear drive, equipped with extended shaft for manual rotation, driving a shear ball bearing rotation gear. The fully adjustable rotation drive assembly includes an external eccentric ring adjustment of the gearbox pinion gear to the main rotation bearing, permitting the ability to easily adjust backlash, reduce boom side play and ensure proper tooth contact over the life of the unit. This reduces life cycle cost. Lift Cylinders: The rod eye is both thread and weld fastened to the rod while the blind end of the cylinder is of cast steel, one piece design, which houses internal (unexposed), cartridge-type, bi-directional counter-balance holding valves. Self-aligning, spherical ball-type bushings are used at each end of the cylinder Lower Boom: Fabricated, reinforced steel with a round centrifugally cast, high-density fiberglass insulator. Insulator provides 24 inches (610 mm) of isolation in the lower boom. The inner surface of the fiberglass insulator has a wax coating molded in during manufacture to provide a dry, smooth inner surface that will cause moisture to bead. The outer surface has a smooth gelcoat finish. Lower boom articulation is 0 to 100 degrees Lower Boom Stow Protection: To help prevent excessive down pressure by boom structures when stowing. Lower Boom Pivot Pin: high strength chrome plated steel with self-lubricating, replaceable, non-metallic bearing. Upper Boom: Round centrifugally cast, high density fiberglass, providing a minimum of 150 inches (3810 mm) of isolation in the upper boom. The inner surface of the fiberglass boom has a wax coating molded in during manufacture to provide a dry, smooth inner surface that will cause moisture to bead. The outer surface has a smooth gelcoat finish. Upper boom articulation is 0 to 230 degrees Boom Linkage, Patented Walking Link: This design features uniform speed of upper boom, and provides smooth, continuous, self-adjusting, low maintenance operation. Upper Boom Hold Down Device Platform Leveling System: The platform is leveled by a single 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) diameter leveling cable with fiberglass rods in upper and lower boom, designed to maintain the dielectric integrity of the aerial device. Platform: Totally enclosed, fiberglass. ISO-Grip System: The Altec ISO-Grip (U.S. Patent No. 7,416,053) System includes the following boom tip components that can provide an additional layer of secondary electrical contact protection. This is not a primary protection system. Control Handle: A single handle controller incorporating high electrical resistance components that is dielectrically tested to 40 kV AC with no more than 400 microampers of leakage. The control handle is green in color to differentiate it from other non-tested controllers. The handle also includes an interlock guard that reduces the potential for inadvertent boom operation. Auxiliary Control Covers: Non-tested blue silicon covers for auxiliary controls. Control Console: Non-tested non-metallic control console plate. Boom Tip Covers: Non-tested non-metallic boom tip covers. The covers are not dielectrically tested, but they may provide some protection against electrical hazards. Lower Controls: Below rotation control station is located behind the chassis cab on the curb side and contains the all of the necessary controls to operate the aerial device. The control panel uses a separate lever for control of each of the aerial device boom functions. The controls may be operated individually or in any combination with fully proportional control. Each of the levers has a detent lock in the neutral or centered position. Control lever to operate the elevator arm is located with aerial device controls. Control Purging System: Provisions for purging and replenishment of oil through the control system for extreme cold weather operation and elimination of air from control lines when servicing. Outrigger/Boom Interlock System: Prevents boom from being unstowed until outriggers have been at least partially deployed.

AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt Resolution Awarding Contract for Sacramento Street Streetscape Project to A. M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc., of Lodi ($1,182,228.40) and Appropriating Funds ($518,784)

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt resolution awarding contract for Sacramento Street Streetscape project to A. M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc., of Lodi, in the amount of $1,182,228.40, and appropriating funds in the amount of $518,784.


The project consists of reconstructing Sacramento Street from Lodi Avenue to Oak Street by installing 17,400 square feet of new decorative and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks with intersection bulb-outs, 1,900 tons of asphalt concrete, landscape improvements, decorative lighting, and street furniture; and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project. The proposed streetscape improvements are intended to bridge the architectural elements between the previous improvements on Lodi Avenue and Sacramento Street (north of Pine Street); improve safety, access and comfort to pedestrian traffic; enhance the experience of using the City’s GrapeLine fixed route and Dial-A-Ride systems; and to encourage pedestrian-friendly commercial opportunities that will promote the City’s downtown business core. Plans and specifications for this project were approved on June 19, 2013. The City received the authorization to proceed from Caltrans on August 2, 2013. The City received the following seven bids for this project on October 22, 2013. Bidder Engineer’s Estimate A. M. Stephens Construction George Reed, Inc. Redgwick Construction Sierra National Construction Diede Construction McGuire Hester B&M Builders

Location Lodi Modesto Oakland Carmichael Woodbridge Oakland Rancho Cordova

Bid $1,113,984.20 $1,182,228.40 $1,237,852.00 $1,248,674.50 $1,262,821.00 $1,303,315.10 $1,475,317.50 $1,542,192.75

Redgwick Construction submitted a bid protest on October 28, 2013. The protest claimed that the two low bidders did not provide a sufficient good faith effort to solicit participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) for this project. While the two low bidders listed a zero percent participation level, none of the bidders were able to obtain the 21.03% DBE contract goal that had been determined for this project. Redgwick Construction listed a participation level of six percent but did not achieve the goal. In fact, all other bidders who submitted documentation reported zero percent participation.

Adopt Resolution Awarding Contract for Sacramento Street Streetscape Project to A. M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc., of Lodi ($1,182,228.40) and Appropriating Funds ($518,784) November 16, 2013 Page 2

Per the federal guidance in 49 CFR Part 26 Appendix A, “Guidance Concerning Good Faith Efforts”: “…when the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the contract goal but others meet it, you may reasonably raise the question of whether, with additional reasonable efforts, the apparent successful bidder could have met the goal.” Moreover, the low bidder did engage in the following good faith efforts: 1) 2) 3)

Contacted 15 DBEs to solicit interest Advertised in DBE exchanges, including Construction Update and Minority Bidders Bulletin Split the contract work items into economically feasible units to allow DBEs to bid

Based on the efforts listed above, Caltrans District 10 DBE Compliance Officer counseled that the apparent low bidder met the good faith effort requirement. Because the other bidders did not meet the goal, the City does not find that with additional reasonable efforts the apparent low bidder could have met the goal. As such, staff recommends that Council award the project to the apparent low bidder, A. M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc. This project is budgeted in FY 2013/14. The budgeted amount and requested appropriation cover the contract, engineering, inspection and project contingencies. The Water Fund allocation will be paying for the water main relocation in Sacramento Street and the Wastewater Fund allocation will be paying for the storm drainage improvements within the project limits. This work will be in addition to minor landscaping and vegetation removal being performed by the Regional Conservation Corps. The work being performed by the Corps was awarded by Council on June 19, 2013. FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance of the decorative streetlights, landscape and streetscape and a short-term decrease in street maintenance costs.

Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Task Order No. 26 of the Master Professional Services Agreement for PCE/TCE Cleanup with Treadwell & Rollo, a Langan Company, of San Francisco ($59,700) and Appropriating Funds ($80,000)

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Task Order No. 26 of the Master Professional Services Agreement for PCE/TCE Cleanup with Treadwell & Rollo, a Langan Company, of San Francisco, in the amount of $59,700, and appropriating funds in the amount of $80,000. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City of Lodi is responsible for the cleanup and monitoring of volatile organic carbon compounds (primarily PCE/TCE) in the four areas referred to as the Central, Southern, Western and Northern Plumes. For three years, the City has been operating soil vapor extraction and groundwater extraction wells and treatment facilities in the block bounded by Pine Street, Church Street, Oak Street, and Pleasant Avenue. After discussions with Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board) staff regarding the operations of these facilities, the City has been requested to submit a Work Plan for the phased closure of these facilities. In addition, the Work Plan will present a strategy to remediate the downgradient groundwater contamination that has moved beyond the Central Plume Source Area. We expect this will consist of one new groundwater extraction well with the pumped water being treated and disposed at the existing treatment site. The Work Plan will also identify the preferred location for a new groundwater monitoring well in the Northern Plume area. Recently, Treadwell & Rollo performed an update to the Lodi Groundwater Model by adding new data for the Central Plume and historic and new data for the Southern, Western and Northern plumes. The model simulates the migration of the plumes under various City groundwater well field pumping scenarios. This model will be used to site the new Central Plume groundwater extraction well, as well as a new Northern Plume monitoring well. As with the Southern and Western plumes, we strive to demonstrate to the Board that monitoring natural attenuation is an appropriate action in the Northern Plume area.

Task Order No. 26 will draw upon the expertise and experience of Treadwell & Rollo to develop the work plans for the shutdown of the Central Plume source area groundwater extraction and treatment system and soil vapor extraction system, the installation of a new Central Plume extraction well, and the evaluation of the extent of the Northern Plume. Task Order No. 26 is provided in Attachment A. Staff recommends approval and the appropriation of $80,000. FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

Proposed Scope of Work for Preparation of Work Plans and Program Management for the Central Plume Source Area System Closure and Northern Plume Monitoring Task Order No. 26 City of Lodi, California

Dear Mr. Sandelin, As requested by the City of Lodi (City) in an email dated October 28, 2013, Treadwell & Rollo, a Langan company, has prepared the following Scope of Work (SOW) to develop the work plans and manage tasks associated with the following: 1. Shutdown of the Central Plume (CP) source area groundwater extraction and treatment system (GWETS) and soil vapor extraction (SVE) system; 2. Installation and operation of a new extraction well south of the CP source area and connected to the current GWETS to hydraulically contain, capture, and remediate the middle portion of the CP; and, 3. Obtain the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) approval for location of the proposed Northern Plume monitoring well. Task 26a - The work plan for the shutdown of the CPsource area SVE and GWET systems will assess the performance of the two systems in remediating the source area, and provide a step-by-step plan that will satisfy the requirements of the Water Board to attain closure of the two systems. We will evaluate options for full and phased shutdowns, and cycling of the SVE system, as needed. We anticipate that the Water Board will require the collection of soil gas samples from new locations in and around the CP source area, and will include this sampling in the work plan. Task 26b - This Task will include providing management and oversight during the closure activities associated with the SVE and GWET systems. Treadwell & Rollo will provide direction to the operator during the implementation of the closure activities for a phased or full shutdown of both the SVE and GWET systems. We have provided an estimate of potential costs associated with the collection and analysis of soil gas and groundwater samples needed to confirm the completeness of the remediation activities, assuming two days of field time to collect 6 soil gas samples. Following completion of the closure activities, Treadwell & Rollo will prepare a Final Closure Report for the CP source area remediation systems. Treadwell & Rollo will also discuss the results with the Water Board and provide assistance to the City to obtain the approval of the Water Board for the closure activities. Task 26c - The work plan for addressing the down-gradient groundwater contamination that has moved beyond the Central Plume source area remediation system capture zone will include the determination of the location of one extraction well, evaluation of the soil log to determine screen locations and optimizing the extraction rate of the well such that it can attain appropriate capture. Treadwell and Rollo proposes

to use the modified City of Lodi transient groundwater flow and contaminant transport model (Model) to meet the objectives of this task. Task 26d–A memorandum summarizing the Northern Plume hydrogeology and the proposed location of the NP monitoring point will be prepared and presented to the Water Board for their approval. Task 26d–As part of the Northern Plume monitoring well construction activities, Treadwell & Rollo will provide ongoing consultation on the location of the monitoring well screen intervals in conjunction with the Water Board. Costs associated with preparation of NP monitoring well installation work plan, well installation costs, and a report documenting final well installation activities are not included in this Task. Task 26f–Following completion of all the modeling activities, a follow-up meeting with the Water Board will be conducted to present the long-term plan for monitoring the NP. PROPOSEDSCHEDULE We are prepared to start work immediately. Task 26a can be completed with 30 days of notice to proceed, and Task 26c with 45 days.Task 26d will be completed within 60 days of notice to proceed. Remaining task schedules will be determined after discussion with the Water Board and the City.

AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Agreement with Ray Morgan Company for Copier Maintenance ($117,986)

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:

Jordan Ayers, Deputy City Manager/Internal Services Director

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt Resolution authorizing City Manager to execute agreement with Ray Morgan Company for copier maintenance.

The City owns 16 Canon copier machines that require ongoing maintenance. The City originally purchased the majority (nine) of these copiers from Ikon Office Solutions along with a contract for provision of their maintenance in the latter part of 2007. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Subsequently, Ricoh USA, Inc. purchased Ikon, and responsibility for maintenance of our copiers shifted to Ricoh. Unfortunately, Ricoh is also a manufacturer of copiers - in effect, a major competitor of Canon. Canon recently issued notice that it would no longer supply replacement parts for any Canon machines maintained by Ricoh USA, Inc. This fact necessitated a new copier maintenance arrangement for the City before Ricoh no longer has access to replacement parts. Ricoh agreed to continue providing maintenance on a month-to-month basis until a more permanent agreement could be established. The City issued a Request for Information on August 1, 2013 inviting firms to describe the best plan whereby they could provide the City with copier services. Included in the request was the requirement that the firm use an already competitively bid public sector contract. Submitted proposals ranged from options where only basic maintenance services were provided, up to options where all Canon machines would be replaced with reconditioned copiers and leased or new leased machines would be provided. Upon evaluating information submitted, it became clear the additional cost of leasing did not warrant replacing our currently owned fleet, which if maintained well, has many more years of remaining life. The analysis of information submitted ultimately determined that Ray Morgan Company presented the lowest overall cost for the three-year term of the agreement and provides the best value for the maintenance of our Canon copiers. Toner is a significant expenditure relative to the operation of any City copier. Ray Morgan has included the cost of all toner (specifically recommended by the manufacturer for use in our Canon machines) in their flat rate per copy. Ray Morgan will be charging an average rate of $0.008 per black & white copy and $0.053 per color copy. The City will not be penalized for going under or over any set minimum or maximum copy limits on any of our Canon copiers. Staff recommends award of this maintenance agreement under University of California Contract No. 708/OP/009 which is a publicly bid contract already in existence, and that Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Ray Morgan Company for the maintenance of Canon Copiers located throughout City offices.


Annual maintenance costs for the 16 Canon copiers is $36,875.57. The contract also includes $7,359.30 in up-front repair costs for existing machines. Total cost of the contract over the three-year period is $117,986. Maintenance costs under the proposed contract are estimated to be about half of what the City is currently expending. FISCAL IMPACT:

FUNDING AVAILABLE:

All impacted departments have funds appropriated in the FY 2013-14 Budget for the provision of copier maintenance services.

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt resolution approving submittal of grant documents to California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and authorizing Transportation Manager to submit all necessary paperwork and reimbursement requests.


City staff is requesting Proposition 1B funds from the Transit System Safety, Security and Disaster Response Account (TSSSDRA) program in the amount of $63,371 for the FY 2013/14 cycle. The Proposition 1B TSSSDRA program is administered by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and Homeland Security Grant Unit. San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) will receive approximately $535,900 program funds to distribute, at its discretion, among the eligible transit providers that include Lodi, Escalon, Ripon, Tracy, Manteca, Regional Rail Commission and the Regional Transit District. SJCOG staff requested transit agencies submit eligible projects; however, only a few projects were submitted for funding. Lodi staff requested funds to install a security system, including cameras and a closed circuit system, at the Municipal Service Center Transit Maintenance Facility and expand the security camera system at the Lodi Transit Parking Structure. The total request for $60,000 will be reviewed by the SJCOG Interagency Transit Committee and Board, as well as other transit agency applicants. Three eligible transit operators will receive additional Proposition 1B funds (Section 99314) based on fare revenues. As a result, the City of Lodi will receive an additional $3,731 for the transit security improvements. With this grant funding, a minimum of six cameras will be installed at the facilities. Last fiscal year, a security camera system was installed at the Lodi Transit Station and Parking Structure, utilizing both TSSSDRA and ARRA funds. After installation, it was determined that additional cameras would improve the ability to read license plates at the entrances. At the maintenance facility, the cameras will provide a live feed for the Lodi Police Department staff to view the surrounding grounds of the maintenance shop, including the transit vehicle storage and repair area and adjacent public parking lot. The security system and camera equipment enhances the safety of the transit assets by continually recording activity. FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the security improvements will be fully covered by the Proposition 1B TSSSDRA funds, and there is no match requirement. Failure to adopt the resolution and claim the funding will result in the funds being re-allocated to another agency.

FUNDING AVAILABLE:

Funding will be made available through this action. _______________________________ F. Wally Sandelin Public Works Director

AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt Resolution Approving the Revised City of Lodi Renewables Portfolio Standard Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution approving the Revised City of Lodi Renewables Portfolio Standard Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program.

On April 12, 2011, Senate Bill SBX1-2 (California Renewable Energy Resources Act) was signed into law which modified the State’s Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirements in addition to setting forth new requirements applicable to Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs). SBX1-2 requires that 20, 25, and 33 percent of the City’s energy sales is supplied by renewable energy generation by the end of Compliance Years 2013, 2016 and 2020, respectively. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Pursuant to Public Utilities Code, Section 399.30(a) and 399.30(e), POUs must adopt and implement a renewable energy resources procurement plan (RPS Procurement Plan) and a program for the enforcement of the RPS Procurement Plan (RPS Enforcement Program) and update these documents as appropriate. Attached as Exhibit A, the Revised City of Lodi Renewables Portfolio Standard Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program (Revised Plan), replaces the prior RPS Enforcement Program and RPS Procurement Plan approved by the City Council on December 11, 2011 (Resolution 2011-195) and on December 19, 2012 (Resolution 2012-206), respectively and reflects changes as a result of the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) regulations that became effective October 1, 2013 as presented to the City Council at its October 1, 2013 Shirtsleeve Session. In general, the Revised Plan outlines a strategy for fulfilling unmet long-term generation resource needs that requires the City to procure a minimum quantity of electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources, including renewable energy credits, as a specified percentage of the total kilowatt-hours sold to the City’s retail end-use customers each compliance period to achieve specified procurement targets. The Revised Plan requires the Electric Utility (EU), through the Risk Oversight Committee (ROC), to annually review the City’s progress toward meeting RPS goals and determine whether reasonable progress is being made to sufficiently meet compliance year targets. If targets are not being met, the City can review the applicability of applying historic carryover from renewable energy procured through 2010 and/or review the applicability of applying Excess Procurement from prior Compliance Periods. The City can use Historic Carryover to satisfy any renewable shortcomings beyond 2011. In addition, the City may review the applicability and appropriateness of excusing performance based on the cost limitations expenditure provisions included in the Revised Plan.


Adopt Resolution Approving the Revised City of Lodi Renewables Portfolio Standard Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program November 20, 2013 Page 2 of 2

EU staff expects its annual production of renewable energy from its geothermal, small hydro and solar resources will continue to exceed targets through 2015 and overall will meet the requirements through 2016 (Compliance Period 2). When Historic Carryover and Excess Procurement are taken into consideration, Lodi can meet its targets through 2018. EU staff, through the ROC, will continue to evaluate the feasibility of additional renewable energy resources and opportunities to meet its 2020 target. The Revised Plan will be effective November 20, 2013 and must be adopted by the City Council and transmitted to the CEC by November 27, 2013. FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct financial impact associated with the development and approval of the Revised Plan. Staff time and costs associated with reviewing and reporting are included within the current budget. Any future purchases of renewable energy will be brought forward on a case-by-case basis through the ROC for City Council consideration.

Revised RPS Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program

November 20, 2013

CITY OF LODI REVISED RENEWABLES PORTFOLIO STANDARD PROCUREMENT PLAN AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Senate Bill X1‐2 (SB X1‐2) of the first extraordinary session was chaptered into the Public Utilities Code (PUC) §399 by Governor Jerry Brown. Under SB X1‐2 the City of Lodi (City), a publicly owned utility, must adopt and implement a Procurement Plan in accordance with the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) guidelines as adopted by the California Energy Commission (CEC) to reach and maintain a renewable energy content of 33 percent of Retail Sales1 by the end of calendar year 2020. At the end of calendar year 2012, the City was compliant with the energy purchase requirements of SB X1‐2. The City’s RPS Procurement Plan was approved by Lodi City Council Resolution 2012‐206 on December 19, 2012. This document outlines the requirements of SB X1‐2 and the City’s minimum requirements for the procurement of renewable energy. In addition to the development of an RPS Procurement Plan, SB X1‐2 requires the City to adopt and implement a separate program for the enforcement of the RPS Procurement Plan.2 The City’s RPS Enforcement Program was approved by Lodi City Council Resolution 2011‐195 on December 21, 2011. This Revised RPS Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program (RPS Plan) combines and replaces the two previously adopted documents and is effective November 20, 2013. With all future resource needs, the City’s Electric Utility (EU), through the Risk Oversight Committee, shall apply this document, as approved by the City Council, to assure that the City’s retail electric customers are provided at least a minimum quantity of electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources and products consistent with the targets set by SB X1‐2. 1.1 PLAN MODIFICATIONS/AMENDMENTS This RPS Plan may be modified or amended by an affirmative vote of the Lodi City Council during a publicly noticed meeting. Before the Lodi City Council publicly deliberates on any 1

“Retail Sales” means sales of electricity by a local publicly owned electric utility (POU) to end‐use customers and their tenants measured in megawatt hours (MWh). This does not include energy consumption by a POU, electricity used by a POU for water pumping, or electricity produced for onsite consumption (self‐generation). 2 Pursuant to PUC §399.30(e), POUs must have adopted a “program for enforcement” of the RPS Procurement Plan on or before January 1, 2012 at a publicly noticed meeting.

portion of the RPS Plan, a notice of a public meeting must be posted in accordance with the requirements of the PUC and/or applicable sections of the Government Code. Contemporaneous with the posting of a notice for such a meeting, the City shall notify the CEC of the date, time, and location of the meeting in order to enable the CEC to post the information on its website. When City staff present information to a majority of the City Council that relates to the adopted RPS Plan, this information shall also be made available to the public and the CEC through the electronic posting of the documentation. 1.2 PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SB X1‐2 created several very specific requirements for the procurement of renewable energy for the resale to electric customers. This document details the procurement requirements of SB X1‐2 and adopts these requirements as minimum standards for the City’s procurement of retail energy. 1.3 COMPLIANCE PERIODS (PUC §399.30(b)) The amendment of SB X1‐2 created three distinct Compliance Periods. At the end of each Compliance Period, a specific target for renewable energy must be met unless “waivers of timely compliance” are incurred. Each of the Compliance Periods includes the following: 1) the Retail Sales percentage target for renewable energy; and 2) the allowed percentage from each Content Category. A. Compliance Period 1: January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013, inclusive. The City must procure by the end of Compliance Period 1, renewable energy at least equal to an average of 20 percent of Retail Sales, over the three calendar years. Renewable energy procured for this Compliance Period shall be comprised of not less than 50 percent of Content Category 1 and not more than 25 percent from Content Category 3. B. Compliance Period 2: January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016, inclusive. The City must procure, by the end of Compliance Period 2, renewable energy at least equal to the sum of 20 percent of calendar year 2014 Retail Sales, 20 percent of calendar year 2015 Retail Sales, and 25 percent of 2016 Retail Sales. Renewable energy procured for this Compliance Period shall be comprised of not less than 65 percent of Content Category 1 and not more than 15 percent from Content Category 3.

November 20, 2013

C. Compliance Period 3: January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2020, inclusive.

The City must procure, by the end of Compliance Period 3, renewable energy at least equal to the sum of 27 percent of calendar year 2017 Retail Sales, 29 percent of calendar year 2018 Retail Sales, 31 percent of calendar year 2019 Retail Sales, and 33 percent of calendar year 2020’s Retail Sales renewable energy procured for this Compliance Period shall be comprised of not less than 75 percent of Content Category 1 and not more than 10 percent from Content Category 3. For each calendar year ending December 31, 2021 and each calendar year thereafter, the City must procure electricity products sufficient to meet or exceed 33 percent of its Retail Sales by the end of that year. Renewable energy procured for each calendar year shall be comprised of not less than 75 percent of Content Category 1 and not more than 10 percent from Content Category 3. 1.4 REASONABLE PROGRESS TOWARDS MEETING COMPLIANCE PERIOD TARGETS DURING INTERVENING YEARS (PUC §§399.30(c)(1) and (2)) A. By December 31, 2014, the City shall demonstrate that it is making reasonable progress towards ensuring that it shall meet Compliance Period 2 requirements by 2016. B. By December 31, 2015, the City shall demonstrate that it is making reasonable progress towards ensuring that it shall meet Compliance Period 2 requirements by 2016. C. By December 31, 2017, the City shall demonstrate that it is making reasonable progress towards ensuring that it shall meet Compliance Period 3 requirements by 2020. D. By December 31, 2018, the City shall demonstrate that it is making reasonable progress towards ensuring that it shall meet the Compliance Period 3 requirements by 2020. E. By December 31, 2019, the City shall demonstrate that it is making reasonable progress towards ensuring that it shall meet Compliance Period 3 requirements by 2020.

1.5 CONTENT CATEGORY DEFINITIONS (PUC §399.30(c)(3)) As required by the PUC, each Compliance Period shall further restrict the procurement of energy through the concept of Portfolio Content Categories (PCCs) (sometimes referred to as energy buckets) that describe the criteria for differing eligible renewable energy resource electricity products: A. PCC 1 (consistent with PUC §399.16(b)(1)): Resources in this category shall either: (1) Have a first point of interconnection with a California balancing authority, have a first point of interconnection with distribution facilities used to serve end users within a California balancing authority area, or are scheduled from the eligible renewable energy resource into a California balancing authority without substituting electricity from another source. The use of another source to provide real‐time ancillary services required to maintain an hourly or sub‐hourly import schedule into a California balancing authority shall be permitted, but only the fraction of the schedule actually generated by the eligible renewable energy resource shall count toward this PCC. (2) Have an agreement to dynamically transfer electricity to a California balancing authority. B. PCC 2 (consistent with PUC §399.16(b)(2)): Resources in this category shall include firmed and shaped eligible renewable energy resource electricity products providing incremental electricity and scheduled into a California balancing authority. C. PCC 3 (consistent with PUC §399.16(b)(3)): Resources in this category shall include eligible renewable energy resource electricity products, or any fraction of the electricity generated, including unbundled renewable energy credits, that do not qualify under the criteria of PCC 1 or PCC 2. D. Grandfathered Resources (PUC §399.16(d)): Any contract or ownership agreement originally executed prior to June 1, 2010, shall count in full towards the procurement requirements, if all of the following conditions are met: (1) The renewable energy resource was eligible under the rules in place as of the date when the contract was executed.


Page 4


November 20, 2013

(2) Any contract amendments or modifications occurring after June 1, 2010, do not increase the nameplate capacity or expected quantities of annual generation, or substitute a different renewable energy resource. (3) The duration of the contract may be extended if the original contract specified a procurement commitment of fifteen (15) or more years. (4) “Eligible renewable energy resource” means an electrical generating facility that meets the definition of a “renewable electrical generation facility” in §25741 of the Public Resources Code, subject to the following: A facility approved by the governing board of a local publicly owned electric utility prior to June 1, 2010, for procurement to satisfy renewable energy procurement obligations adopted pursuant to former PUC §387, shall be certified as an eligible renewable energy resource by the CEC pursuant to this article, if the facility is a “renewable electrical generation facility” as defined in §25741 of the Public Resources Code and PUC §399.12(e)(1)(C). Resources procured prior to June 1, 2010 shall be counted for RPS compliance (Grandfathered) without regard to the limitations on the use of each PCC as described above. 1.6 QUALIFYING CONDITIONS OF COMPLIANCE Provisions of SB X1‐2 allow the adoption of Optional Compliance Measures for Excess Procurement, Historic Carry‐over and for unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of the City. The section below details the conditions of these Optional Compliance Measures allowed by the amendments of SB X1‐2. A. Excess Procurement (PUC §399.30(d)(1), PUC §399.13(a)(4)(B)) The City shall be allowed to apply Excess Procurement from one Compliance Period to subsequent Compliance Periods as long as the following conditions are met: (1) The accumulation of excess procurement of a Compliance Period beginning on or after January 1, 2011, can be applied to any subsequent Compliance Period. (2) In calculating the total quantity of excess procurement, the amount of procurement associated with contracts of less than ten (10) years in duration shall be deducted (not counted) from actual procurement quantities.


Page 5


November 20, 2013

(3) Excess procurement applied to future Compliance Periods must comply with the definitions of PCC 1, PCC 2, or Grandfathered Resources. (4) Resources from PCC 3 shall not be counted as excess procurement. B. Historic Carry‐over (1) The City shall be allowed to apply historic carry‐over, generated before January 1, 2011, procured prior to June 1, 2010, and was not applied to the RPS program established by the City pursuant to former PUC §387. (2) Historic carry‐over must be from facilities that were RPS‐eligible under the rules in place for retail sellers at the time of procurement, except that such facilities need not be tracked in the Western Renewable Energy Information System (WREGIS). (3) Historic carry‐over shall be calculated by subtracting procurement generated between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2010, that was applied to the City’s RPS compliance obligation during that same period. (4) The City will submit claims for any historic carry‐over to the CEC by December 31, 2013.

C. Waiver Of Timely Compliance PUC §399.30(d)(2), PUC §399.15(b)(5)) Under the concept of “Waiver of Timely Compliance,” enforcement of timely compliance shall be waived if it can be demonstrated that any of the conditions described in the PUC or any condition beyond the direct control of the City will prevent timely compliance. In making its findings relative to the existence of this condition, deliberations shall include only conditions within the direct control of the City and consistent with the applicable PUC. In the event of a Waiver of Timely Compliance due to any of the factors set forth above, the City may implement one or more of the following procedures: (1) Establish additional reporting for intervening years to demonstrate that reasonable actions under the City’s control are being taken (PUC §399.15(b)(6)). (2) Require a demonstration that all reasonable actions within the City’s control have been taken to ensure compliance in order to grant the waiver (PUC §399.15(b)(7)).

November 20, 2013

As described in the PUC §399.15(b)(9), in no event shall deficits from prior Compliance Periods be added to future Compliance Periods. However, excess procurement from previous years may be used to gain compliance due any of the unforeseen conditions allowing waiver of timely compliance. D. Cost Limitations For Expenditures (PUC §399.30(D)(3), PUC §399.15(C)) The City, at its sole discretion, may elect to establish cost limitations for all eligible renewable energy resources used to comply with the RPS. Any such cost limitations will be developed consistent with PUC §399.15(c) and PUC §399.15(d). (1) In adopting these rules, the City shall rely on this RPS Plan, as well as: 1) procurement expenditures that approximate the expected cost of building, owning, and operating eligible renewable energy resources; and 2) the potential that some planned resource additions may be delayed or cancelled. (2) In addition to PUC §399.15(c), the City may take into account local and regional economic conditions and the ability of the City’s customers to afford produced or procured energy products. These economic conditions may include, but are not limited to, unemployment, wages, cost of living expenses, the housing market, and cost burden of other utility rates on the same customers. The City may also consider cost disparities between customer classes within the City, and between the City customers and other POU and investor owned utility (IOU) customers in the region. (3) The City shall review the need for cost limitations as part of the annual review process described in this RPS Plan. 1.7 EXCLUSIVE CONTROL (PUC §399.30(m)) In all matters regarding compliance with the RPS Plan, the Lodi City Council shall retain exclusive control and discretion over the following; the mix (type) of eligible renewable energy resources procured, additional generation resources procured for purposes of ensuring resource adequacy and reliability, and the reasonable costs incurred for eligible renewable energy resources owned by it. 1.8 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS (PUC §399.30(f), PUC §399.30(g), PUC §399.30(l)) As required by the PUC, POUs must provide periodic reporting on their progress and status of compliance with the legislated renewable energy requirements. The following sections outline these requirements and the applicable PUC. City of Lodi Revised RPS Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program

AGENDA TITLE:

Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Planning Commission’s Recommendation to Authorize 232 Low Density Residential Growth Management Allocations for FCB Homes

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:

Community Development Director

Public hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Planning Commission’s Recommendation to Authorize 232 Low Density Residential Growth Management Allocations for FCB Homes

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The project site was annexed into the City as part of the Westside Subdivision, which measured approximately 160 acres. It was annexed into the City limits as part of the Westside Reorganization (Ordinance: Res. 2007-49) on March 21, 2007. The City of Lodi adopted the General Plan and certified the project EIR, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, on March 21, 2007. The project site was assigned a Planned Development (42) zoning designation. Planned Development zoning designations provide flexibility in the application of development standards that will produce development projects of superior quality, including retention of unique site characteristics, creative and efficient project design, etc., than would have been achieved through strict application of the development standards required by the primary zoning district. The proposed project is divided into three distinct areas called villages. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The As part of the City’s Growth Management program, and subdivision map approval process, the Planning Commission reviews the requests that have been submitted to the City. Following a public hearing, the Commission makes a recommendation for City Council consideration. This public hearing is being held for the City Council to approve a Final Map and to award 232 low density residential allocations for this year to FCB Homes. On October 9, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the 2013 Residential Growth Management Development Allocation. At this hearing the Planning Commission reviewed a request by FCB Homes for (i) Growth Management Allocation for 232 Low Density Residential Lots; (ii) A Vested Subdivision Map for the Proposed Rose Gate Subdivision, a 50 acre, 232 lot, single-family residential subdivision; and (iii) adopted Development Standards for the subdivision known as Rose Gate Subdivision located within Planned Development 42 Zoning District. The Commission received a staff report; heard the staff presentation; asked questions of staff as well as the applicant; opened the hearing to the public for testimony in support and in opposition to the application; closed the public hearing, and voted 7-0 to recommend the City Council approve the applicant’s request for 232 low density growth management allocation units and approve the Final Map for the project. ANALYSIS The proposed project would permit the construction of 232 medium density residential units on 50-acre parcel located at 2875 West Lodi Avenue. It is bounded by Lodi Avenue to the south, Woodbridge Irrigation District Canal (WID) to the north, and San Joaquin County limits to the west. The parcel represents 50 acres of the 151 acre “Westside Project” annexed into the City in 2007. Surrounding land uses include vacant land to the south and west; commercial uses to the south; and residential uses to the north. J:\Community Development\Council Communications\2013

APPROVED:__________________________________ Konradt Bartlam, City Manager

Surrounding areas to the west are within the San Joaquin County jurisdictional limits. The topography of the site is relatively flat and generally sloped from north to southwest. Grassland habitat makes up the entire site. The allocation system gives priority through point assignments to projects that reduce impacts on services, infrastructure, and resources. The ordinance sets an annual growth limit of two percent of the City’s population, compounded annually. Once the amount of allocation units is figured, the City requires that the allocation units be distributed among housing types as follows; 65 percent low density, 10 percent medium density and 25 percent high density. For example, the following explains the 447 units available for 2013: 1.

Calculate two percent of the City’s current population: 62,930 x 2% = 1,258.6

2.

Divide 1,259 by the average number of persons per household 1,259/2.812 = 447.72

3.

Divide the 447.72 (448 du) units into the 3 housing types: 65% low density = 291 units 10% medium density = 45 units 25% high density = 112 units

the City Council earlier this year expired allocations accumulated since 2008. In the five-year period since 2008, 2,235 allocations were added to the reserve. The Council eliminated 800 Low Density and 1,435 High Density allocations. This Council action created a new balance of 4,634 as detailed below in Table A. Table A: Growth Management Allocation History Available Allocations Total Available for 2%Allocations for 2012 2013 Density 291 Low (0.1-7) 2,995 45 Medium (7.1-20) 557 112 High (20.1-30) 1,122 448 TOTAL 4,634

Total Available for 2013 3,286 602 1,234 5,122

As indicated above in the background discussion, the present project is being reviewed for growth management allocations for 2013. The project received allocations through a Development Agreement that has since been annulled. The applicant has submitted an application for a total of 232 low density growth management allocation units (0.1-7 units/acre). The City has a total of 3,286 low density units available for allocation. The applicant’s request for 231 low density allocation can easily be accommodated. The Growth Management Ordinance includes a priority location area and a point system to assist the City with prioritizing issuance of growth management allocations. The priority location area designates lands available for development and provides development categories of one, two or three, with Priority Area 1 being the first priority area for development. The priority areas are based on availability of city services (e.g., water, wastewater, storm drains, streets, police, fire and parks). The proposed project site is classified as an in-fill project. For scoring purposes in-fill projects are considered Priority Area 1 projects. The point system was established to rate projects based on various project merits in order to determine if one project should be approved before another, particularly if there are more allocation requests than there are available allocations. However, because the City hasn’t had growth management allocation requests since 2006, surplus allocation has been accumulated in the amount of 660 medium density available units. The applicant’s request for 12 medium density units can be accommodated.

The proposed vesting tentative map is consistent with the current General Plan (2010). The proposed exclusively residential development aligns with the residential land use designations and densities assigned to site in the current General Plan. The site for the proposed subdivision is suitable for the density and type of development proposed in that it is a flat piece of land. The project design of the

subdivision and type of improvements proposed would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision in that there are no existing public access easements on the site. The Planning Commission reviewed the project in its entirety and recommended the City Council approve the Final Map and gran the applicant 232 low density residences.

AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt Resolution Certifying a Negative Declaration for the Climate Action Plan and Adopt Lodi Climate Action Plan

MEETING DATE:

November 20, 2013

PREPARED BY:

Community Development Director

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt resolution certifying a Negative Declaration for the Climate Action Plan and adopt Lodi Climate Action Plan.

The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) set the stage for the State of California's transition to a sustainable, clean energy future. AB 32 included a number of specific objectives, most notably was the requirement to identify the statewide level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 1990 to serve as the emissions limit to be achieved by 2020. AB 32 also acknowledged that further reductions would be required in the future. Subsequent legislation, SB 375, facilitates GHG reduction goals through regional transportation analysis and sustainable community strategies. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On August 18, 2010, the Lodi City Council approved the City of Lodi’s participation in the Smart Valley Places Compact, a partnership among cities and other local and regional agencies and organizations from the eight counties of the San Joaquin Valley region. The purpose of this partnership was (1) to work together to locally define and implement a regional plan for sustainable development for the San Joaquin Valley; and (2) to pursue funding such as the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program. Those funds were offered through the Sustainable Communities Partnership, made up of the U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and were intended to support regional planning efforts that integrate housing, land use, economic and workforce development, transportation, and infrastructure investments in a manner that empowers jurisdictions to consider the interdependent challenges of economic competitiveness and revitalization; social equity, inclusion, and access to opportunity; energy use and climate change; as well as public health and environmental impacts. At their meeting on February 5, 2012, the City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with AECOM (consultant team) for professional services related to the preparation of a CAP and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy. AECOM and the UC Davis Studio 30 began working on this project to develop a plan and specific strategies to engage Lodi residents, businesses, organizations and key stakeholders in the development of the CAP. The development of the CAP grew out of corroborative city staff, students from the University of California, Davis’s Land Use and Natural Resources extension program, the consultant firm, and citizens input. Key stakeholders were identified and engaged in a series of individual meetings and group workshops. Real-estate developers were invited to attend an individual “round-table” discussion. The round-table was attended by representatives of the Building Industry Association of the Delta who provided a regional perspective on development. The developers provided insight into the state of development in Lodi and the potential for measures that addressed new and existing buildings. Discussions were also held with local businesses and institutions, including Pacific Coast Producers, the Lodi Unified School District (LUSD), Lodi Memorial Hospital, the Wine and Grape Commission and Lodi Citizens in Action. Some representatives expressed an interest in energy efficiency technologies; as a result, this CAP includes measures to engage these organizations in energy retrofit assistance programs and demonstration J:\Community Development\Council Communications\2013

projects. Other representatives provided insight into constraints to energy efficiency, such as food processing and hospital sanitation requirements, and how to frame the measures in the CAP to alleviate the concerns of some local interest groups. The Farmer’s Market provided a means of engaging residents (adults and children), including a survey on potential energy efficiency measures, alternative transportation and solid waste disposal. The citizens were engaged with a trivia game involving a spinning wheel with randomly selected questions. The consultant team presented a draft set of strategies and action plan to the public at a Planning Commission’s hearing held on September 11, 2013. The presentation format provided opportunities for residents and community members to ask questions and discuss the climate action planning process and provide input on individual measures and strategies. The Draft CAP was also released for public review from September 1, 2013 to October 9, 2013. On October 9, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the Lodi Climate Action Plan. At this hearing the Planning Commission reviewed the Draft Climate Action Plan and the proposed Negative Declaration for the project. The Commission received a staff report; heard the staff presentation; asked questions of staff and the general public; closed the public hearing, and voted 7-0, to recommend the City Council adopt Resolution Certifying a Negative Declaration for the Climate Action Plan and Adopt Lodi Climate Action Plan. ANALYSIS: A Climate Action Plan (CAP), or similarly designed implementation plan, is essential for cities and counties to begin the process of identifying approaches to achieve GHG emission reductions. In order to monitor progress towards AB 32 implementation and report GHG emissions over time, one of the first key components to developing a CAP includes calculating a baseline GHG emissions inventory. The emission baseline identifies a year for which the City and community can provide data on energy consumption and waste generation. To date, the State and/or Air Resources Board has yet to address the regulatory environment or provide guidance, methodologies, significance thresholds, standards, or the types of analysis or mitigation measures needed to map and benchmark current emission levels. However, most recent inventories aggregate GHG emissions from the year 2005-2008. Recognizing the important role that cities will play in the transition to a low-carbon economy, Lodi has prepared this Climate Action Plan (CAP) as a roadmap for achieving city-wide GHG emissions reductions. The CAP includes a quantitative inventory and analysis of existing and anticipated GHG emissions. The analysis starts with the established 2008 baseline year and projects business-as-usual emissions for 2020. Given that a I990 baseline year would not have accurate or complete datum for all key emission sources, the year 2008 was chosen as the baseline year since this year has more readily available data and has increasingly becoming the standard for such inventories throughout the State. The City of Lodi CAP presents estimates of GHG emissions resulting from the community as a whole (including residential and commercial activity), as well as those resulting from the City's government operations. Each sector is associated with a variety of emission sources. The majority of the emissions recorded in the 2008 inventory have been calculated using calculation-based methodologies to derive emissions using activity data and emission factors. Activity data refers to the relevant measurement of energy use or other greenhouse gas-generating processes such as fuel consumption by fuel type, metered annual electricity consumption, and annual vehicle miles traveled. Emission factors are used to convert energy usage or other activity data into associated emissions quantities. They are usually expressed in terms of emissions per unit of activity data (e.g. Ibs C02/kWh). Please see Appendix "A" in the City of Lodi CAP for a listing of emissions factors and listing of activity data used in composing this inventory. The local protocols established in the CAP will play a key role in ensuring that strategies are developed and implemented at the local level. The City of Lodi has chosen to utilize an efficiency based emissions target with the CAP. The logic behind the efficiency targets is that if all California communities achieved this level of efficiency on a “fair-share” per service population basis, then the State would achieve its AB 32’s 2020 GHG reduction goals. The target metric is calculated by dividing total land use related statewide emissions by the sum total of population and jobs projected in the State in the horizon. The CAP establishes a target of improving communitywide per service population emissions efficiency to 4.5 MT CO2e/ service population/ year by 2020 and to 3.0 MT CO2e/ service population/ year. These goals demonstrate the City’s commitment to make a fair-share contribution to state climate protection efforts and demonstrate a trajectory towards an emissions level in-line with State mandates. Overall, the City's 2008 emissions baseline total was 486,628


metric tons C02 equivalent. The 2008 baseline is included in the CAP as Appendix "A" and has been organized by the following major categories, called "sectors," including transportation, residential buildings, commercial and industrial buildings solid waste, wastewater, and municipal operations.

As shown in Table 1, without state or local action, emissions would grow 39.7% from 2010 to 2020 and by 75.2% from 2010 to 2030. Transportation emissions would grow the most amongst the sectors (42.9% by 2020 and by 86.3% by 2030). The next largest sector would be energy consumption, followed by solid waste, and water and wastewater, all of which are expected to increase 38% by year 2020. Many of these increases result from planned residential developments forecasted to occur in the 2010 General Plan. However, the market realities since 2008 significantly altered these numbers. Achieving the goals of AB 32 to reduce GHG emissions by approximately 15 percent from current levels by 2020 will require a wide range of approaches. The CAP will position the City to address a variety of emission sources and proposes transportation, residential building, nonresidential, solid waste, water, and municipal operations reduction strategies. These efforts provide the framework for moving forward with development and implementation of a CAP, and are summarized below: 1. Energy Efficiency recommends ways to increase energy efficiency in existing buildings and systems; and increase the use of renewable energy. 2. Transportation encourages alternatives to driving alone by car; promotes transit as a viable transportation mode; and greater travel efficiency. 3. Solid Waste increases organic waste diversion to decrease methane emissions. 4. Water recommends actions to support state mandated goals to reduce water consumption and the energy required to collect, store, distribute, and treat water and wastewater. 5. Green Infrastructure uses urban vegetation to off-set the urban heat island effect, thereby reducing building energy use. Strategies listed in the CAP (Exhibit "CC-2") are associated with a measure or series of measures that helps identify how the City and the broader community can reduce GHG emissions. Each measure listed includes a brief description and reduction assumption. The combination of statewide reduction described in Table 4 and


the communitywide reduction measures detailed above in Table 5 result in overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions 15% by 2020 and 37% by 2030. The Planning Division conducted an initial environmental assessment of the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and therefore a Negative Declaration is prepared. An Initial Study and Negative Declaration was drafted and circulated between July 12, 2013 and August 12, 2013. They City received no comment during the public review period. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been proposed as an adequate environmental documentation for the Climate Action Plan.

Climate Change Science The United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),defines“climatechange”as“achangeinthestateofthe climate that can be identified (e.g. using statistical tests) by changesinthemeanand/orthevariabilityofitsproperties,and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or i longer.” ThepropertiesofGHGsaresuchthattheyretainheat in the atmosphere, which would otherwise escape to space. GHGs accumulate in the atmosphere when they are emitted faster than they can be naturally removed, and that accumulation prompts changes in the climate system.

According to trends identified by the United States Global ChangeResearchProgram,averageglobaltemperaturesandsea level have increased over the last fifty years as a result of an increase in greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and are iv projected to continue to rise over the next century . If the average temperature of the Earth continues to rise, there may be implications on both a global and local level. Potential implicationsofglobalclimatechangeinclude: ¬

Local Benefits of Addressing GHG Emissions Planning efforts intended to reduce GHG emissions through resource efficiency and conservation measures often have multiple coͲbenefits that will improve the quality of life for community members in Lodi. While some coͲbenefits are qualitative, others are quantifiable improvements over current conditions.

Public Outreach This CAP was developed in collaboration with students of the UniversityofCalifornia,Davis’sLandUseandNaturalResources extension program, who played a vital role in planning and organizing the public outreach process. Key stakeholders were identified and engaged in a series of individual meetings and groupworkshops. RealͲestate developers were invited to attend an individual “roundͲtable” discussion. The roundͲtable was attended by representativesoftheBuildingIndustryAssociationoftheDelta andFCBHomeswhowereabletoprovidearegionalperspective on development, as well as Tokay Development, a local developer . The developers provided insight into the state of development in Lodi and the potential for measures that addressednewandexistingbuildings. Discussionswerealsoheldwithlocalbusinessesandinstitutions, includingPacificCoastProducers,theLodiUnifiedSchoolDistrict (LUSD), Lodi Memorial Hospital, the Wine and Grape Commission and Lodi Citizens in Action.

LEU’sLodiEnergyEfficiencyFinancing(LEEF)programinvolvesa revolving loan fund that commercial customers can use to finance energy efficiency retrofits, paying off the balance on their monthly utility bill. This program could be expanded to increaseretrofitfinancingoptionsforcommercialandindustrial customers. Lodi has historically experienced a slow rate of development with growth occurring at less than 2% over the past several years; a trend which City officials expect will continue over the next 5Ͳ7 years. As a result GHG reductions associated with energyefficientnewdevelopmentswillnotbesignificantbythe horizonyears2020and2030.Reductionswillthereforeneedto be achieved by reinvesting in the existing vacant or older buildingstockwhichwillnotonlyimproveenergyefficiencyfor homesandbusinesses,butprovidemorelocaljobopportunities andreducethenumberofpeoplecommutingbycar.

Figure 1.2 Studio 30 Students and the “Wheel of Awesome” The “Wheel of Awesome” engaged children at the Farmer’s Market in the CAP process. After spinning the wheel, the children were asked a question that related to various sectors in the CAP, such as “Do you walk or ride your bike to school?” or “Have you ever heard of composting?” These questions helped to gauge the children’s level of awareness of these concepts and informed the development of several outreach and demonstration measures.

CH 1: Introduction

Solid Waste While residents in Lodi typically responded that they “always” recycle, few survey participants were familiar with the term “composting”.TheLodiUnifiedSchoolDistricthadacomposting program in the past and while the program was discontinued due to budgetary issues they would like to reͲinstate it in the future.

Planning Context

California Climate Change Actions Since the 1970's California has been a leader in environmental health and climate change legislation. In 2005 Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order (EO) SͲ3Ͳ05, which recognizes California’s vulnerability to a reduced snowpack, exacerbationofairqualityproblems,andpotentialseaͲlevelrise duetoachangingclimate. To address these concerns, the governor established targets to reducestatewideGHGemissionsto2000levelsby2010,to1990 levelsby2020,andto80%below1990levelsby2050. In2006,Californiabecamethefirststateinthecountrytoadopt a Green House Gas reduction target through AB 32. This law codifies the EO SͲ3Ͳ05 requirement to reduce statewide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. AB 32 resulted in the 2008 adoption by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) of a ClimateChangeScopingPlan(ScopingPlan),outliningtheState’s plantoachieveemissionreductionsthroughamixtureofdirect regulations,alternativecompliancemechanisms,differenttypes ofincentives,voluntaryactions,marketbasedmechanisms,and funding. The Scoping Plan addresses similar areas to those contained in this CAP, including transportation, building energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and green infrastructure. AB 32 engendered several companion laws, referred to as

Vehicle Efficiency Regulations ARB has adopted several regulations to reduce emissions through improved vehicle efficiency. The following two regulations were quantified and included in the CAP calculations.

Heavy-Duty Vehicle GHG Emission In December 2008, ARB adopted a new regulation to reduce GHG emissions by improving the fuel efficiency of heavyͲduty tractors that pull 53Ͳfoot or longer boxͲtype trailers. Fuel efficiency is increased through improvements in tractor and trailer aerodynamics and the use of low rolling resistance tires. The regulation is expected to reduce approximately 1 million metrictonsofcarbondioxideͲequivalentemissionsstatewideby 2020. Overthe11yearsbetween2010,whentherulewentintoeffect, and the end of 2020, it is estimated that truckers and trucking companies will save about $8.6 billion by reducing diesel fuel consumptionbyasmuchas750milliongallonsinCalifornia,and 5 billion gallons across the nation. The tractors and trailers subject to this regulation must use U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SmartWaycertified tractors and trailers, or retrofit their existing fleet with SmartWayverified technologies. These requirements apply to both CaliforniaͲregistered trucks andoutͲofͲstateregisteredtrucksthattraveltoCalifornia.

Relationship to the General Plan Lodi is among many other cities and counties in California that are addressing the State’s greenhouse gas reduction goals in their general plans. The City’s policy commitment includes encouraginghigherdensity,mixedͲuseandinfilldevelopmentin 3-8

appropriate locations, energy efficiency, and renewable energy development that contribute to GHG reduction strategies contained in the CAP. Since GHG emissions are a crossͲcutting issue addressed by many General Plan elements, the CAP as a whole is generally considered an implementation measure for the General Plan. This structure allows the City to update the CAP on an ongoing, asͲneeded basis to ensure that the City’s climate protection efforts reflect both current legislation and emergingbestpractices.

Relationship to the California Environmental Quality Act Local governments may prepare a Plan for Reduction of Greenhouse Gases that is consistent with AB 32 goals. By preparing such a plan, the city can streamline CEQA review of subsequent plans and projects consistent with the GHG reduction strategies and target in the plan. To meet the standards of a qualified GHG reduction plan, Lodi’s CAP must achievethefollowingcriteria(whichparallelandelaborateupon criteria established in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5[b][1]): ¬

Chapter 5 provides a discussion of the criteria and process the City will use to determine if a future project is consistent with theCAP.

A projectͲspecific environmental document that relies on this CAP for its cumulative impacts analysis must identify specific CAP measures applicable to the project, and how the project incorporates the measures. If the measures are not otherwise binding and enforceable, they must be incorporated as mitigation measures applicable to the project.

Other measures which help to mitigate summer heat include planting large deciduous street trees and planting residential shade trees to protect the southern and western walls of a homefromthesun,reducingheatabsorptionandcoolingcosts. Building integrated vegetation can also lower energy use as green roofs and green walls act to decrease interior building temperatures by absorbing the sun’s energy before it reaches thebuildingenvelope. Each of these measures will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and utility costs for service users. Due to Lodi’s unique climate and geography, certain measures will be more successful at reducingemissionsthanothers,butallmeasureswillultimately improvethequalityoflifeforLodi’scommunitymembers.

Climate Zone Lodi is located in California’s agriculturallyͲrich Central Valley, boundedbytheSacramentoͲSanJoaquinRiverDeltatothewest and the San Joaquin Valley to the east. Lodi is a compact city withsituatedjustsouthoftheMokelumneRiverinonagridded streetnetworksurroundedbyagriculturallands.Industrialuses are primarily concentrated in the eastern side of the City, definedbytherailroadlineandHighway99.Largecommercial uses are concentrated along the highway and other major corridors, such as Kettleman Lane to the south. The newly revitalizeddowntownareaisintheverycoreoftheCity,located among historic neighborhoods and smaller retail stores. The remainderoftheurbanareaisprimarilydedicatedtoresidential developments. Lodi’s climate has a direct relationship to energy use in homes and businesses. Lodi typically experiences cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. While inland California experiences greater temperature swings than the temperate coastal areas, Lodi’sproximitytotheDeltaandtheSanFranciscoBayresultsin moremoderatetemperaturesthanothercitiesinthevalley. Strategies to increasing energy efficiency in the built environment are central to reducing energy consumption associated with heating and cooling systems during the hot summer and cold winter. One such measure acts to encourage the replacement of conventional roofs with cool roofs, which use reflective materials to deflect the heat of the sun, in turn reducing interior building temperatures and demands on the HVACsystem.

Building Inventory The majority of Lodi’s housing stock, 68%, consists of singleͲ familyhomeswhile20%consistsofmultiͲfamilydevelopments. Of the total housing stock, 66% was built prior to 1980, which marked the implementation of Title 24, California’s Green BuildingCode.Homesofthisvintageareexcellentcandidatesfor buildingenergyretrofitsandweatherizationastheyoftensuffer frominefficienciesduetooutdatedheatingandcoolingsystems, poor insulation, single pane windows, cracks in the building foundationandothergapsinthebuildingenvelope.

ŽĚŝ͛Ɛ ƚransit fleet includes buses and shuttles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG), an alternative fuel that produces significantly lower emissions than gasoline.

Water Delivery The distribution of potable water for drinking and irrigation purposes generates emissions through electricity and natural gas consumption. Lodi relies entirely on groundwater to supply its potable water needs and must use electricity to power pumps which bring the water from underground aquifers to the surface. Data relating to electricity and fuel consumption were obtained from PG&E.

Municipal Inventory Results The municipal baseline inventory accounts for emissions from nine separate sources. Similar to the community inventory, the majority of municipal emissions originated from energy use by buildings and facilities (ϮϵйͿ ĂŶĚ ƚŚĞ ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ ŵŽďŝůĞ ĨůĞĞƚ ;ϮϰйͿ͘ Wastewater treatment accounted for 22% of communitywide emissions, city employee commute accounted for 11% and power generation facilities, another 10%. The four remaining emissions sources amounted to less than 5% and include ƐƚƌĞĞƚůŝŐŚƚƐ͕ ƐŽůŝĚ ǁĂƐƚĞ͕ ƚŚĞ ŝƚǇ͛s transit fleet and water delivery. Table 3.2 provides a summary of the emissions sources for the municipal inventory. Of the largest emissions source, buildings and facilities, natural gas consumption comprised a strong majority at 27% of the total emissions. As for the mobile fleet, a majority of the emissions were the result of vehicles powered by gasoline.

Emissions Forecasts Community Emissions The baseline inventory was used to project the communitywide GHG emissions to the horizon years 2020 and 2030 under a business-as-usual scenario. Emission projections estimate future emissions levels and provide insight regarding the scale of reductions necessary to achieve an emissions target. GHG reduction measures developed for the CAP are applied to the 2020 and 2030 emissions levels to determine if the City will achieve its GHG reduction targets. Business-as-usual projections coincide with the statewide greenhouse gas reduction target for ƚŚĞ ǇĞĂƌ ϮϬϮϬ͕ ƐĞƚ ďǇ ϯϮ͕ ĂƐ ǁĞůů ĂƐ ƚŚĞ ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ 'ĞŶĞƌĂů WůĂŶ horizon year 2030. As the CAP is a supporting document for the General Plan, estimating emissions to 2030 will allow for ͞ŝŶƚĞŐƌĂů ŝŵƉůĞŵĞŶƚĂƚŝŽŶ͟ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ W ĂůŽŶŐƐŝĚĞ ƚŚĞ 'ĞŶĞƌĂů Plan. The business-as-usual scenarios assume that historical and current GHG-generating practices and trends for energy consumption, transportation, solid waste, wastewater, and water consumption will continue through 2030. The business-asusual projections do not include locally-realized GHG reductions from implementation of statewide GHG reduction programs or the local CAP measures described in Chapter 4. Emissions projections are based on the estimated increase in service population. Service population measures the number of jobs and population as an indicator of current and potential resource consumption in a community. Estimates used to project emissions for this plan are consistent with estimates determined during the General Plan update process, which assume service population will increase by 39.7% from 2008 to 2020 and 75.2% from 2008 to 2030. The business-as-usual projections use service population growth assumptions across all sectors in this CAP as an indicator of potential growth in Lodi. The projections have been developed for planning purposes, and due to the complexity of each emissions sector, are subject to change. As 2020 approaches, the City will reevaluate its emissions projections and reduction target to incorporate progress toward long-term GHG reductions, and will repeat this process as 2030 approaches as well.

Communitywide Business-As-Usual Emissions Forecasts Table 3.3 provides a summary of >ŽĚŝ͛Ɛ ϮϬϮϬ communitywide business-as-usual projected emissions, which are anticipated to be 671,896 MT CO2e in 2020 and 843,367 MT CO2e in 2030. Under this scenario, GHG emissions would increase across all sectors from 2008 to 2020 and 2020 to 2030. Municipal emissions, included in Table 3.3, are incorporated into the communitywide total. By 2020 business-as-usual municipal emissions are anticipated to be 8,075 MT CO2e, while emissions in 2030 are anticipated to reach 9,207 MT CO2e.

The growth of City government is related to the population growth within its jurisdiction; however, City government is unlikely to grow at the same rate. Rather, City operations increase in response to demand for resident services, but tend to avoid over-expansion.

Adjusted Business-As-Usual Emissions Forecasts Table 3.4 describes the emission reductions anticipated to occur within the community through implementation of State and federal policies and regulations. The largest reductions are from State and federal fuel efficiency improvements to passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks. As residents and businesses replace older vehicles with newer ones, people will consume less fuel and generate fewer emissions per vehicle mile traveled. ĂůŝĨŽƌŶŝĂ͛Ɛ ůŽǁ ĐĂƌďŽŶ ĨƵĞů ƐƚĂŶĚĂƌĚ ǁŝůů ĂůƐŽ ƌĞĚƵĐĞ transportation-related emissions in the community by requiring a transition away from fossil fuels (i.e., gasoline and diesel) toward lower-carbon bio-fuels (e.g., ethanol). Implementation of the regional SB 375 Sustainable Communities Strategy will reduce vehicle emissions through development of effective transit and other alternative transportation systems and encouragement of low-carbon development.

target metric is calculated by dividing total land use related statewide emissions by the sum total of population and jobs projected in the State in the horizon. As shown in Figure 3.5, this CAP establishes a target of improving communitywide per service population emissions efficiency to 4.5 MT CO2e/ service population/ year by 2020 and to 3.0 MT CO2e/ service population/ yeaƌ͘ dŚĞƐĞ ŐŽĂůƐ ĚĞŵŽŶƐƚƌĂƚĞ ƚŚĞ ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ commitment to make a fair-share contribution to state climate protection efforts and demonstrate a trajectory towards an emissions level in-line with the Executive Order S-3-05 goals. The General Plan planning horizon extends only to 2030, which makes projecting 2050 activity and emission levels highly uncertain. As a result, this CAP does not address the steps needed to achieve reduction goals beyond 2030. However the City will regularly reevaluate its long-term emissions reduction goals to respond to future circumstances.

Community Actions The greenhouse gas reduction strategy presented in the next chapter of this CAP will serve as a framework for achieving the ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ ƌĞĚƵĐƚŝŽŶ ƚĂƌŐĞƚ ƚŚƌŽƵŐŚ ůŽĐĂů ĂĐƚŝŽŶƐ͘ ĂĐŚ ŐƌĞĞŶŚŽƵƐĞ gas reduction measure includes action steps, which serve to guide the implementation process and insure the City achieves the estimated reductions in the future. The estimated reductions were quantified based on participation rates that reflect on historic trends and future expectations. The 16 quantified greenhouse gas reduction measures would result in communitywide emissions reductions of 44,481 MT CO2e/year and an efficiency level of 4.3 MT CO2e/ service population/ year.

California law also requires all utilities to obtain 33% of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020. This increase in renewable electricity will reduce the community energyrelated emissions. The medium- and heavy-duty vehicle efficiency improvements program and California Energy Code (Title-24) requirements for new construction will create smaller, but still important, communitywide emission reductions. State and federal actions that reduce communitywide emissions within the City of Lodi will make it easier for the community to achieve 2020 and 2030 emission reduction goals. As shown in Figure 3.3 with implementation of State and federal actions, communitywide emissions would be 580,094 MT CO2e/yr in 2020 and 691,348 MT CO2e/year in 2030.

Emissions Efficiency Target The City of Lodi has chosen to utilize an efficiency based emissions target with the CAP. The logic behind the efficiency targets is that if all California communities achieved this level of efficiency ŽŶĂ͞ĨĂŝƌ-ƐŚĂƌĞ͟ƉĞƌƐĞƌǀŝĐĞƉŽƉƵůĂƚŝŽŶďĂƐŝƐ͕ƚŚĞŶƚŚĞ ^ƚĂƚĞǁŽƵůĚĂĐŚŝĞǀĞŝƚƐ ϯϮ͛Ɛ ϮϬϮϬ','ƌĞĚƵĐƚŝŽŶ ŐŽĂůƐ͘dŚĞ

Chapter 4-Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy This chapter defines the local strategies that will be implemented by the city in order to achieve its goal of reducing 2008 greenhouse gas emissions 15% by 2020 and 37% by 2030. The measures included in this chapter affect issues within the city͛Ɛ ĚŝƌĞĐƚ ŝŶĨůƵĞŶĐĞ ĂŶĚ ĂƌĞ ĚĞƐŝŐŶĞĚ ƚŽ Ĩŝůů ƚŚĞ ŐĂƉ ďĞƚǁĞĞŶ the city͛Ɛ ƌĞĚƵĐƚŝŽŶ ƚĂƌŐĞƚƐ ĂŶĚ ƚŚĞ ĞƐƚŝŵĂƚĞĚ ƐƚĂƚĞǁŝĚĞ reductions described in Chapter 3. Measures were developed by (a) evaluating existing community conditions; (b) identifying emission reduction opportunities within the community; and (c) reviewing best practices from other jurisdictions and organizations.

Leverage Local and Regional Opportunities Measures in this CAP were designed to foster existing local initiatives and implement policies and programs in the 2010 General Plan while leveraging regional partnerships. Existing city programs were identified and opportunities for program expansion were considered. The greenhouse gas reduction potential of existing programs contributes to the total reductions, while action steps to expand these programs contribute additional reductions to help meet the city͛Ɛ ƚĂƌŐĞƚ. Where there were no existing programs offered by the city, local and regional initiatives were identified as a platform for crosspromotion or new program development.

Measure Structure Measures are organized by strategy areas (e.g., energy, transportation), and while most measure are designed to achieve quantifiable GHG reductions, the direct emissions reduction benefits of some measures cannot be accurately quantified. The measures that are not quantified have been identified in this CAP as supporting measures. Each measure includes: a description providing policy background; action steps to guide implementation; a relative cost analysis; city departments and government agencies with primary responsibility; a description of qualitative and quantitative co-benefits; and an ŝŶĚŝĐĂƚŝŽŶ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ŵĞĂƐƵƌĞ͛Ɛ GHG reduction potential relative to other measures within the strategy area.

Strategy Areas Measures are grouped into five strategy areas that represent the primary ways to reduce communitywide GHG emissions in Lodi. Strategy areas are as follows: x

Measure Description Each measure begins with a description of how GHG emissions are reduced and provides important background information regarding the city͛s rationale and policy direction. Additionally, some descriptions highlight the city͛Ɛ ĂĐƚŝŽŶƐ ƚŽ ĚĂƚĞ and then provide guidance for expanding existing programs.

Actions and Performance Action steps are provided in a table following each measure description. Actions identify specific steps that the city will take to implement the measure. Performance metrics are also provided so that the city may track progress towards achieving the reductions described in this CAP.

Relative Public and Private Cost The relative cost associated with measure implementation and participation is provided for the city (i.e., public) and residents / businesses (i.e., private). The cost analysis uses assumptions of labor hours and capital costs for code enforcement, program development, planning, and outreach efforts. In instances where the CAP is simply documenting GHG reductions associated with ongoing or planned city programs (e.g., implementation of the Urban Water Management Plan), the public cost estimates only reflect those additional actions recommended in the CAP (e.g., expanded public outreach efforts). Public costs are estimated as total cost to implement through 2020 (as opposed to annual costs), while private costs are estimated as one-time installation or participation costs. These assumptions were used to assign a cost range to each measure, represented by the symbols shown in Figure 4.1 below. Where implementation does not require the city to increase funding above baseline levels, the measure is considered cost neutral. Supporting information on cost estimates is provided in Appendix C.

Community Co-benefits Beyond reducing GHG emissions as described in Chapter 2, many recommended CAP actions have the potential to provide additional benefits for the community. These co-benefits represent an improvement in the quality of life in Lodi and contribute to improved environmental quality.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY FINANCING

Collaborate with other San Joaquin agencies to create a regional PACE program. A property-assessed clean energy (PACE) financing program is enabled through AB 811 legislation. This bill allows land-secured loans for homeowners and businesses who install energy efficiency projects and clean-energy generation systems. Senate Bill 555 reinforced implementation opportunities for PACE programs by expanding the scope of activities allowed within a community facilities district, as defined by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. A PACE program permits property owners within participating districts to finance the installation of energy- and water-efficiency improvements in their home or business through a lien against their property that is repaid through their property tax bill. If the property is sold, payment responsibility transfers to the new owners, allowing building owners to avoid up-front installation costs while at the same time requiring little or no investment of local government general funds. In some instances, the new lender may require repayment of the existing lien, in which case the remaining PACE loan is repaid from the proceeds of the property sale.

LOW-INCOME WEATHERIZATION

Provide weatherization assistance to low-income households. Weatherization reduces residential energy consumption by sealing gaps in the building envelope, moderating interior temperatures and reducing loads on HVAC systems. There are several co-benefits that come with weatherization, including reduced utility bills and improved occupant comfort. Weatherization is accomplished through various cost-effective home repairs, including; installing insulation, caulking or replacing windows and doors, and repairing inefficient HVAC systems. While most homes can benefit from weatherization, it is especially effective in older homes and can provide some relief to low-income households who may be struggling to pay their utility bills and do not have the means to invest in more intensive energy efficiency repairs. Lodi Electric Utility partnered with California Youth Energy Services in the past to provide weatherization services to a few hundred households in Lodi.

BUILDING SHADE TREES

Plant building shade trees to improve energy efficiency in new and renovated buildings.

When properly placed, large shade trees can reduce energy use by protecting a building from the heat of the sun, in turn reducing demand on the heating and cooling system. A successful shade tree program needs to address various factors, such as tree selection, planting location, and maintenance. Trees with larger canopies and denser foliage provide more shade than other species. Deciduous species are ideal for reducing building cooling costs as they provide shade in summer, but allow winter sunlight into buildings for passive solar gain in cooler weather.

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS

Promote solar PV rebates and eliminate regulatory barriers.

Increasing the use of distributed renewable energy systems (e.g., rooftop solar photovoltaic) prevents the combustion of fossil fuels to generate electricity, thereby reducing GHG emissions. Solar photovoltaic systems convert solar radiation into electricity that can directly power buildings, increasing energy independence and subsequently reducing monthly utility bills. Solar PV systems can be scaled to individual residential systems and larger-scale commercial systems. Parking lots also provide excellent opportunities for solar energy generation. Numerous barriers may prevent widespread adoption of solar PV technology, including city regulations, up-front costs, and misinformation or lack of information. Reviewing and revising the city͛ƐǌŽŶŝŶŐĂŶĚ ďƵŝůĚŝŶŐ codes can remove regulatory barriers to solar PV installation. While up-front cost can deter some property owners from investing in solar energy, rebates are available through Lodi Electric Utility and homeowners can use solar service providers or acquire financing through participation in a PACE program (see Measure E-1.2) to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

The California Solar Water Heating and Efficiency Act of 2007 (AB 1470) created a 10-year program aimed at installing solar water heaters in homes and businesses. AB 1470 was designed to lower the initial costs of purchasing a system, which typically range from $3,000 to $6,000. Similar to solar PV installations, available rebates can reduce the upfront costs of solar water heater systems, and participation in a PACE financing program (see Measure E-1.2) can help to amortize the remaining costs.

Emissions in this sector are primarily the result of the combustion of fossil fuels and are determined largely by the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by residents and employees. The best practices for reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions involve reducing the number of vehicle trips through various transportation demand management (TDM) strategies and enhancing the viability of transit and other forms of alternative transportation. In addition, transit-oriented development and mixed-use developments result in denser uses near commercial centers that contribute to decreased vehicle trips. The greenhouse gas reduction strategies presented in this CAP primarily focus on TDM strategies and transit system improvements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The total GHG emission reduction potential of the transportation strategy is 18,967 MT CO2e/yr in 2020 and 25,153 MT CO2e/yr in 2030.

Flextime includes both telecommuting and alternative work schedules and is one of many transportation demand management (TDM) strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the number of vehicle trips made on a given day. Flextime reduces peak period traffic congestion directly by allowing employees to set their own work schedules, which often involve a condensed four-day work week. The flexibility in hours can also make ridesharing and transit use more feasible. In addition, staggered shifts can reduce peak-period trips and traffic congestion, particularly around large employment centers.

Research shows that there is an indirect link between reduced minimum parking requirements and a decline in vehicle trips. Reducing parking requirements allows market forces to determine the appropriate level of parking supply based on user demands. As parking lots can be land-intensive, reducing these requirements supports transit-oriented and mixed-use development by maximizing commercial retail space and reducing overall cost to development. Such a policy is especially effective near commercial centers where it is easier for people to take transit, walk, or ride their bikes.

Encourage and support ridesharing groups and initiatives through additional outreach efforts.

Ridesharing is a transportation demand management strategy that reduces commute trips from single-occupant vehicles through organized carpooling and vanpooling. Ridesharing can attract 5-15% of total commute trips if commuters are encouraged to participate through outreach and information sharing. Providing incentives such as parking cash outs or vanpool subsidies can result in greater participation rates of around 10-30%.

SOLID WASTE

Waste disposal creates emissions when organic waste (e.g., food scraps, yard clippings, paper, and wood products) is buried in landfills and anaerobic digestion takes place, emitting methane. In Lodi, 11% of GHG emissions are associated with solid waste ŐĞŶĞƌĂƚŝŽŶ ĂŶĚ ĚŝƐƉŽƐĂů ŝŶ ůĂŶĚĨŝůůƐ͘ dŚĞ W͛Ɛ ǁĂƐƚĞ ĚŝǀĞƌƐŝŽŶ measures seek to divert organic waste from landfills by reusing construction materials when possible and increasing communitywide participation in food scrap and yard waste composting. Construction waste accounts for approximately 29% of the waste stream statewide, and includes items such as lumber, drywall, metals, masonry, carpet, plastics, pipes, rocks, and dirt. Most of these materials are inert and do not contribute to landfill methane generation upon decomposition. However, waste lumber comprises nearly 15% of the total statewide waste stream, and represents a significant source of potential GHG emissions reductions. Per the California 2010 Building Standards Code (Title 24), effective January 1, 2011, all jurisdictions must require the diversion of 50% of construction waste materials generated during certain construction and renovation projects. This CAP assumes the city will enforce these diversion requirements in all applicable future projects. As shown in Table 4.1, the CAP includes reductions associated with increased methane capture at landfills. The California Air Resources Board approved a new regulation (effective in June 2010) that requires operators of certain landfills to install methane control systems that operate in an optimal manner. Historically, the majority of solid waste generated in Lodi is disposed of at the North County Landfill. While this landfill already has a methane capture system in place, it is less efficient than currently available technology used elsewhere throughout the state. For purposes of this CAP, it is assumed that efficiency improvements will be made to the existing methane capture system at the North County Landfill, but that the city will play no role in implementing these improvements. The total GHG emission reduction potential of the waste strategy is 9,129 MT CO2e/yr in 2020 and 13,260 MT CO2e/yr in 2030.


SW-1.1 ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION Work with Waste Management to divert food waste and compostable paper from landfills and ensure compliance with existing yard waste diversion and construction/demolition waste diversion ordinances. Food scraps are unwanted cooking preparation items and leftover table scraps, such as banana peels, apple cores, vegetable trimmings, bones, egg shells, meat, and pizza crusts. Compostable paper, sometimes called food-soiled paper, usually comes from the kitchen and is not appropriate for paper recycling due to contamination. Materials such as stained pizza boxes, uncoated paper cups and plates, used coffee filters, paper food cartons, napkins and paper towels are all compostable paper. Diverting these organic items from the landfill helps to reduce methane gas generation from anaerobic decomposition, and helps to prolong the operable life of a landfill. The city will work with Waste Management to expand its yard waste collection program to accept compostable food and paper products ŝŶƌĞƐŝĚĞŶƚƐ͛ĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐŐƌĞĞŶǁĂƐƚĞďŝŶƐ͕ so these items can also be diverted to composting facilities.

Target Achievement By 2020, implementation of the State and federal actions identified in Chapter 3 ĂŶĚ ƚŚĞ ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ greenhouse gas reduction measures are anticipated to reduce communitywide emissions reductions of 150,528 MT CO2e/year and achieve a community efficiency level of 4.3 MT CO2e/ service population/ year. This level of reduction would surpass the City͛s adopted 2020 emissions target of 4.5 MT CO2e/ service population/ year. Table 4.2 demonstrates the anticipated level of reductions in 2020. Table 4.3 demonstrates that by 2030, implementation of ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ CAP is anticipated to reduce communitywide emissions by approximately 240,304 MT CO2e/year and achieve a community efficiency level of 4.1 MT CO2e/ service population/ year. This level of reduction falls short of the City͛s adopted 2030 emissions target of 3.0 MT CO2e/ service population/ year. The City anticipates that additional State actions will contribute greatly to the closing of this gap. The City will reevaluate 2030 target achievement and potential local actions once the next round of State actions has been defined.

Chapter 5-Implementation This CAP represents the community-wide actions that the city of Lodi will implement and update, accordingly, with the Lodi General Plan. These measures are to serve as the beginning of what the city intends to do in order to reduce GHG emissions. The city staff will be expected to alter or amend any measure to ensure GHG emissions reduction targets are met. This chapter discusses measure implementation, evaluation and evolution of the CAP, benefits and the CEQA streamlining process.

Measure Implementation Progress and Achievements Ensuring that the measures translate to on-the-ground results is critical to the success of the CAP. To facilitate this, each measure described in Chapter 4 contains a table identifying specific actions the City will implement. The table also identifies responsible departments and establishes an implementation timeframe for each action. The second section of each table provides performance targets that allow staff, the Board of Supervisors, and the public to track measure implementation and monitor overall CAP progress. These targets are suitable benchmarks to monitor implementation progress. They are indicators to evaluate if a measure is achieving the necessary GHG reductions. Table 5-1 provides a summary of these benchmarks for easy reference. dŚĞůŝƐƚĂůƐŽŝůůƵƐƚƌĂƚĞƐƚŚĞŵĞĂƐƵƌĞ͛ƐƐĞĐƚŽƌĂƉƉůŝĐĂďŝůŝƚǇĂŶĚŝĨĂ measure is either mandatory or optional. Upon adoption of the CAP, identified City departments will be responsible for implementing appropriate action measures of the CAP. Responsible staff in each department will facilitate and oversee action implementation. CAP implementation meetings will occur regularly to assess the status of CAP measure progress ĂŶĚ ƚŚĞ ŝƚǇ͛Ɛ ĞĨĨŽƌƚƐ͘ ^ŽŵĞ ĂĐƚŝŽŶƐ ǁŝůů ƌĞƋƵŝƌĞ interdepartmental or inter-agency cooperation and appropriate partnerships will need to be established accordingly.

Plan Evaluation and Evolution The CAP lays out a comprehensive, communitywide strategy to reduce greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and improve community ƐƵƐƚĂŝŶĂďŝůŝƚǇ͘ ŝƚǇ ƐƚĂĨĨ ǁŝůů ĞǀĂůƵĂƚĞ ƚŚĞ W͛Ɛ ƉĞƌĨŽƌŵĂŶĐĞ over time and be prepared to alter or amend the plan if it is not achieving the reduction target


Plan Evaluation There are two important types of performance evaluation: evaluation of the CAP as a whole and evaluation of the individual measures. Subsequent communitywide GHG emission inventories provide the best indication of CAP effectiveness, and will allow actual growth to be reconciled with growth projected by the General Plan and CAP. Conducting periodic inventories will allow comparison to the 1990 baseline and will demonstrate ƚŚĞW͛ƐĂďility to achieve proposed reduction targets. The Planning Division will coordinate community inventories every three to five years beginning in 2015 to measure performance and progress towards achieving emission reduction targets. While inventories provide information about overall emission reductions, it is also important to understand the efficacy of individual measures. Evaluating the emission reduction capacity, cost, and benefit of individual measures improves County staff ĂŶĚĚĞĐŝƐŝŽŶŵĂŬĞƌƐ͛Ăďŝůŝƚy to manage and implement the CAP. Evaluating CAP measure performance requires monitoring the level of community participation and the GHG reduction capacity. The progress indicators, provided within each quantified measure, identify the level of participation and performance required to achieve the estimated level of GHG reduction. By evaluating whether the implementation of a measure is on track to achieve its progress indicators, the County can identify successful measures and reevaluate or replace under-performing ones.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(1)(E) requires that the City amend the CAP if it finds that the plan is not achieving the adopted GHG reduction target. The Planning and Public Works Department will evaluate measures every two years beginning in 2013, and will summarize progress toward meeting the GHG reduction target at that time in a report to the Board of Supervisors that describes: ¬

Estimated annual GHG reductions;

¬

(compared to 1990, 2008, and subsequent inventory years);

¬

Achievement of progress indicators;

¬

Participation rates (where applicable);

¬

Implementation costs;

¬

Community benefits realized;

¬

Remaining barriers to implementation; and

¬

Recommendations for changes to the CAP.

Plan Evolution To remain relevant, the City must be prepared to adapt and transform the CAP over time. It is likely that new information about climate change science and risk will emerge, new GHG reduction technologies and innovative municipal strategies will be developed, new financing will be available, and State and federal legislation will change. It is also possible that future inventories will indicate that the community is not achieving its adopted target. As part of the evaluations identified above, the City will assess the implications of new scientific findings and technology, explore new opportunities for GHG reduction, respond to changes in climate policy, and incorporate these changes in future updates to the CAP to ensure an effective and efficient program.

Executive Summary City of Lodi Profile The City of Lodi covers over 12 square miles and ranges from Lodi Lake to Cherokee Memorial Park. The City of Lodi had an estimated population of 62,000 in 2008. With 458 city employees in the year 2008, there was a ratio of approximately 7.3 employees per one thousand residents. The City of Lodi’s total budget was $ 213,347,142 for fiscal year 2007-2008 and $ 187,032,383 for fiscal year 2008-2009. Lodi is located within Climate Zone 12, 1 according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Climate Zone 12 is classified as a Mediterranean climate, by the Köppen Classification System, and is characterized by hot summers and mild winters. Lodi experiences a climate similar to the Stockton area, which recorded 3,066 heating degree days 2 and 1,482 cooling degree days in 2008. 3

The Purpose of Conducting an Inventory Each day, local governments operate buildings, vehicle fleets, street lights, traffic signals, water systems, and wastewater plants; local government employees consume resources commuting to work and generate solid waste which is sent for disposal. All of these activities directly or indirectly cause the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This report presents the findings and methodology of a local government operations (LGO) greenhouse gas emissions inventory for City of Lodi. The inventory measures the greenhouse gas emissions resulting specifically from City of Lodi’s government operations, arranged by sector to facilitate detailed analysis of emissions sources. The inventory addresses where and what quantity of emissions are generated through various local government activities. Through analysis of a local government’s emissions profile, the City of Lodi can tailor strategies to achieve the most effective greenhouse gas emission reductions. Strategies by which local governments can significantly reduce emissions from their operations include increasing energy efficiency in facilities and vehicle fleets, utilizing renewable energy sources, reducing waste, and supporting alternative modes of transportation for employees. The benefits of these actions include lower energy bills, improved air quality, and more efficient government operations, in addition to the mitigation of local and global climate change impacts. By Pacific Energy Center’s Guide to: California Climate Zones, retrieved from http://www.PG&E.com/includes/docs/pdfs/about/edusafety/training/pec/toolbox/arch/climate/california_climate_zones_0116.pdf 2 Heating and Cooling Degree Days are a measurement designed to reflect demand for energy needed to heat or cool a facility, and are calculated as the difference between the average daily temperature for a region and a baseline temperature (usually 65° or 80° F). HDD value is the summation of degrees of the average temperature per day below 65° F for the year. CDD is the summation of degrees of the average temperature per day above 80° F for the year. 3 NNDC Climate Data, retrieved from http://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/CDODivisionalSelect.jsp 1

striving to save taxpayer money through efficient government operations, City of Lodi is working to improve government services in a smart and targeted way that will benefit all of the City/County’s residents. By conducting this inventory, City of Lodi is acting now to limit future impacts that threaten the lives and property of Lodi’s residents and businesses, make government operations more efficient, and improve the level of service it offers to the residents of Lodi.

Inventory Results The following figures summarize the results of the LGO greenhouse gas emissions inventory for the City of Lodi, by sector and source. As illustrated in Figure 1, the sector producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the City of Lodi is the Buildings and Facilities sector at 28.9%, followed by the Vehicle Fleet sector at 22.8%. As shown in Figure 2, Natural Gas and Gasoline are the sources with the greatest percentage of emissions (32.5% and 26.9% respectively). Table 1 delineates the different types of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, etc.), which are assigned a standard metric of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 e), and then combined to describe the City’s total emissions by Scope.

Regional and Local Context Climate Change Mitigation Activities in California Since 2005, the State of California has responded to growing concerns over the effects of climate change by adopting a comprehensive approach to addressing emissions in the public and private sectors. This approach was officially initiated with the passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), which requires the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The AB 32 Scoping Plan was developed to identify strategies for meeting the AB 32 goal, and was adopted by ARB in December 2008. Among many other strategies, it encourages local


8

governments to reduce emissions in their jurisdictions by 15 percent below current levels by 2020. In addition, it identifies the following strategies that will impact local governance: x

Develop a California cap-and-trade program

x

Expand energy efficiency programs

x

Establish and seek to achieve reduction targets for transportation-related related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

x

Expand the use of green building practices

x

Increase waste diversion, composting, and commercial recycling toward zero-waste

x

Continue water efficiency programs and use cleaner energy sources to move and treat water

x

Reduce methane emissions at landfills

x

Preserve forests that sequester carbon dioxide

Other measures taken by the state include mandating stronger vehicle emissions standards (AB 1493, 2002), establishing a low-carbon fuel standard (EO # S-01-07, 2007), mandating a climate adaptation plan for the state (S-EO # 13-08, 2008), establishing a Green Collar Job Council, and establishing a renewable energy portfolio standard for power generation or purchase in the state. The state also has made a number of legislative and regulatory changes that have significant implications for local governments: x

SB 97 (2007) required the Office of Planning and Research to create greenhouse gas planning guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In addition, ARB is tasked with creating energy-use and transportation thresholds in CEQA reviews, which may require local governments to account for greenhouse gas emissions when reviewing project applications.

x

AB 811 (2007) authorizes all local governments in California to establish special districts that can be used to finance solar or other renewable energy improvements to homes and businesses in their jurisdiction.

x

SB 375 (2008) revises the process of regional transportation planning by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), which are governed by elected officials from local jurisdictions. The statute calls on ARB to establish regional transportation-related GHG targets and requires the large MPOs to develop regional “Sustainable Communities Strategies” of land use, housing and transportation policies that will move the region towards its GHG target. The statute stipulates that transportation investments must be consistent with the Sustainable Communities Strategy and provides CEQA streamlining for local development projects that are consistent with the Strategy.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company Supported Inventory Project With the administrative support of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and funding from California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission, the Great Valley Center was contracted to to assist in the quantification of municipal greenhouse gas emissions for the City of Lodi and the following other


9

participating communities throughout 2012: the Counties of San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced and the cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Los Banos, Manteca and Tracy.

Climate Change Mitigation Activities in City of Lodi The City of Lodi is currently preparing a community-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventory and reduction strategy in sequence with the municipal inventory as part of its Climate Action Planning process. The Climate Action Plan will identify the significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions that can be influenced and/or controlled through various governmental actions, including federal, State and local actions. Mitigation measures are being planned to address the State's AB 32 goals.

Introduction General Methodology Local Government Operations Protocol A national standard called the Local Government Operations Protocol (LGO Protocol) has been developed and adopted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB). This standard provides accounting principles, boundaries, quantification methods, and procedures for reporting greenhouse gas emissions from local government operations. The LGO Protocol forms the basis of the Clean Air & Climate Protection Software (CACP 2009), which allows local governments to compile data and perform the emissions calculations using standardized methods.

Greenhouse Gases and Carbon Dioxide Equivalent In accordance with LGO Protocol recommendations, CACP 2009 calculates and reports all six internationally recognized greenhouse gases regulated under the Kyoto Protocol (Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulfur Hexafluoride). Emissions summaries found throughout this report also use CACP 2009’s ability to combine emissions from the various greenhouse gases into carbon dioxide equivalent, CO2e. Since equal quantities of each greenhouse gas have more or less influence on the greenhouse effect, converting all emissions to a standard metric, CO2e, allows apples-to-apples comparisons amongst quantities of all six emissions types. Greenhouse gas emissions are reported in this inventory as metric tons of CO2e (MTCO2e). Table 2 exhibits the greenhouse gases and their global warming potential (GWP), a measure of the amount of warming a greenhouse gas may cause compared to the amount of warming caused by carbon dioxide.

Calculating Emissions In general, emissions can be quantified in two ways. 1. Measurement-based methodologies refer to the direct measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from a monitoring system. Emissions measured this way may include those emitted from a flue of a power plant, wastewater treatment plant, landfill, or industrial facility. This method is the most accurate way of inventorying emissions from a given source, but is generally available for only a few sources of emissions. 2. Calculation-based methodologies refer to an estimate of emissions calculated based upon measurable activity

data and emission factors. Table 3 provides examples of common emissions calculations.

The Scopes Framework This inventory reports greenhouse gas emissions by sector and additionally by “scope”, in line with the LGO Protocol and World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Protocol Corporate Standard. Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources within a local government’s operations that it owns and/or controls, with the exception of direct CO2 emissions from biogenic sources. This includes stationary combustion to produce electricity, steam, heat, and power equipment; mobile combustion of fuels; process emissions from physical or chemical processing; fugitive emissions that result from production, processing, transmission, storage and use of fuels; leaked refrigerants; and other sources. Scope 2: Indirect emissions associated with the consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling. Scope 3: All other emissions sources that hold policy relevance to the local government that can be measured and reported. This includes all indirect emissions not covered in Scope 2 that occur as a result of activities within the operations of the local government. Scope 3 emission sources include (but are not limited to) tailpipe emissions from employee commutes, employee business travel, and emissions resulting from the decomposition of governmentgenerated solid waste.


12

LGO Protocol provides standard methodologies for calculating emissions from the sources shown in Table 4. Other sources of emissions, such as those associated with the production of consumed products do not yet have standard calculation methodologies and are thus excluded from this inventory.

Table 4: Inventoried Emissions Sources by Scope Scope 1 Fuel consumed at facilities Fuel consumed by vehicle fleet and mobile equipment Fuel consumed to generate electricity Leaked refrigerants from facilities and vehicles Fugitive HFC Emissions from electricity transmission and distribution Solid waste in government landfills Wastewater decomposition and treatment at a municipal wastewater treatment plant

Scope 2 Purchased electricity consumed by facilities Purchased electricity consumed by electric vehicles*

Scope 3 Solid waste generated by government operations Fuel consumed by vehicles during employee commuting

Organizational Boundaries The organizational boundary for the inventory determines which aspects of operations are included in the emissions inventory, and which are not. Under the LGO Protocol, two control approaches are used for reporting emissions: operational control or financial control. A local government has operational control over an operation if it has full authority to introduce and implement policies that impact the operation. A local government has financial control if the operation is fully consolidated in financial accounts. If a local government has joint control over an operation, the contractual agreement will have to be examined to see who has authority over operating policies and implementation, and thus the responsibility to report emissions under operational control. LGO Protocol strongly encourages local governments to utilize operational control as the organization boundary for a government operations emissions inventory. Operational control is believed to most accurately represent the emissions sources that local governments can most directly influence, and this boundary is consistent with other environmental and air quality reporting program requirements. For this reason, this inventory was conducted according to the operational control framework.

Types of Emissions As described in the LGO Protocol, emissions from each of the greenhouse gases can come in a number of forms: Stationary or mobile combustion: These are emissions resulting from on-site combustion of fuels (natural gas, diesel, gasoline, etc.) to generate heat, electricity, or to power vehicles and mobile equipment.


13

Purchased electricity: These are emissions produced by the generation of power from utilities outside of the jurisdiction. Fugitive emissions: Emissions that result from the unintentional release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (e.g., leaked refrigerants, methane from waste decomposition, etc.). Process emissions: Emissions from physical or chemical processing of a material (e.g., wastewater treatment).

Significance Thresholds Within any local government’s own operations there will be emission sources that fall within Scope 1 and Scope 2 that are minimal in magnitude and difficult to accurately measure. Within the context of local government operations, emissions from leaked refrigerants and backup generators may be common sources of these types of emissions. For these less significant emissions sources, LGO Protocol specifies that up to 5 percent of total emissions can be reported using methodologies that deviate from the recommended methodologies in LGO Protocol. In the context of registering emissions with an independent registry (such as the California Climate Action Registry), emissions that fall under the significance threshold are called de minimis. In this report, the following emissions fell under the significance threshold and were reported using best available methods: x

Scope 1 fugitive emissions from leaked refrigerants from vehicles and equipment

In this report, some emissions were calculated using methods that deviate from the methods recommended in the LGO Protocol. However, the LGO Protocol identifies several alternative methods that still meet emission calculation standards. For the following areas, alternative methods were used to calculate emissions: x

Scope 2 CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from purchased electricity used in City facilities were calculated using the CARB California Grid Average electricity emissions factor

In addition, emissions data from the following sources could not be obtained for this report and therefore emissions from these sources are not included in this inventory: x

Scope 1 fugitive emissions from the leakage of refrigerants from stationary heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration units

x

Scope 1 fugitive emissions from leaked/deployed fire suppressants


14

Information Items Information items are emissions sources that are not included as Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions in the inventory, but are reported here separately in order to provide a more complete picture of emissions from the City of Lodi’s government operations. A common emission that is categorized as an information item is carbon dioxide emitted in the combustion of biogenic fuels. Local governments will often burn fuels that are of biogenic origin (wood, landfill gas, organic solid waste, biofuels, etc.) to generate power. Common sources of biogenic emissions are the combustion of landfill gas from landfills or biogas from wastewater treatment plants, as well as the incineration of organic municipal solid waste at incinerators. Carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of biogenic fuels are not included in Scope 1 based on established international principles. Methane and nitrous oxide emissions from biogenic fuels are considered Scope 1 stationary combustion emissions and are included in the stationary combustion sections for the appropriate facilities. These principles indicate that biogenic fuels (e.g., wood, biodiesel), if left to decompose in the natural environment, would release CO2 into the atmosphere, where it would then enter back into the natural carbon cycle. Therefore, when wood or another biogenic fuel is combusted, the resulting CO2 emissions are akin to natural emissions and should therefore not be considered as human activity-generated emissions. The CH4 and N2O emissions, however, would not have occurred naturally and are therefore included as Scope 1 emissions. The emissions categorized as information items in this inventory are presented below in Table 5. Information items quantified for this inventory include: x

Scope 1 emissions from natural gas consumption by backup generators at the CT1 generation plant

x

Scope 2 emissions from consumption of electricity at the CT1 generation plant

Understanding Totals It is important to realize that the totals and sub-totals listed in the tables and discussed in this report are intended to represent all-inclusive, complete totals for the City of Lodi’s operations. However, these totals are only a summation of inventoried emissions using available estimation methods. Each inventoried sector may have additional emissions sources associated with them that were unaccounted for, such as Scope 3 sources that could not be estimated. Also, local governments provide different services to their citizens, and the scale of the services (and thus the emissions) is highly dependent upon the size and purview of the local government. For these reasons, comparisons between local government totals should not be made without keen analysis of the basis for figures and the services provided.


16

Inventory Results Emissions Total In 2008, the City of Lodi’s greenhouse gas emissions from government operations totaled 6,717 metric tons of CO2e. This number represents a roll-up of emissions. While the roll-up is a valuable figure, information on the breakdown of emissions from local government operations by scopes, sources, and sectors allows the comparative analysis and insight needed for effective decision-making on target setting, developing GHG reduction measures, or monitoring. The LGO Protocol identifies reporting by scopes, sources, and sectors as the strongly preferred form of reporting a greenhouse gas inventory. For more details on the breakdown of City of Lodi’s emissions by scopes, sources, and sectors, refer to subsequent sections within Inventory Results in this report.

Buildings and Other Facilities Facility operations contribute to greenhouse gas emissions in two major ways. First, facilities consume electricity and fuels such as natural gas. This consumption is associated with the majority of greenhouse gas emissions from facilities. In addition, fire suppression, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment in buildings can emit hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and other greenhouse gases when these systems leak refrigerants or fire suppressants. Refrigerants and fire suppressants are very potent greenhouse gases, and have Global Warming Potential (GWP) of up to many thousand times that of CO2. For example, HFC-134a, a very common refrigerant, has a GWP of 1300, or 1300 times that of CO2. Therefore, even small amounts of leaked refrigerants can have a significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions. City of Lodi operates several facilities, ranging from general offices to parks. For the purpose of reporting emissions, these facilities were grouped by department. Data relating to natural gas consumption were obtained from PG&E. Data relating to electricity consumption were obtained from both LEU and PG&E. The Buildings and Facilities sector produced the largest amount of emissions by sector. Overall, these facilities produced 1,941 metric tons of CO2e (28.9% of total emissions). As illustrated in Figure 3 and Table 6, the facility group producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the City of Lodi is the Public Works facility group at 60.2%. The second largest contributor is the Police facility group at 15.1%. As illustrated in Figure 4, the source producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the Buildings and Facilities sector is Natural Gas at 94.7%, followed by Electricity at 5.3%. Emissions from electricity consumption are lower by comparison due to the fact that Lodi receives electricity from the Northern California Power Agency, which reports low emissions factors from power generation.

Streetlights, Traffic Signals, and Other Public Lighting Like most local governments, City of Lodi operates a range of public lighting including traffic signals and streetlights. The majority of emissions associated with the operation of this infrastructure are due to electricity consumption. Data relating to electricity consumption for public lighting were obtained from both LEU and PG&E. The Public Lighting sector produced the sixth-largest amount of emissions of all sectors overall, but this comparison is distorted by the lack of kWh reported for other public lighting operation data that were not collected. Overall, these facilities produced 145 metric tons of CO2e (2.2% of total emissions). As illustrated in Figure 5 and Table 9, the subsector producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the Public Lighting sector are Streetlights at 97.4%, followed by Traffic Signals at 2.6%.

Water Delivery Facilities This sector includes emissions from equipment used for the distribution or transport of water, including drinking water, sprinkler systems and irrigation. The City of Lodi operates a range of water transport equipment. Electricity consumption and the on-site combustion of fuels such as natural gas are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions from the operation of City of Lodi’s water transport equipment. Data relating to electricity consumption were obtained from PG&E. Data relating to fuel consumption were obtained from PG&E.


20

The Water Transport sector produced the smallest amount of emissions overall, with 3 metric tons of CO2e (less than 0.1% of total emissions). As illustrated in Figure 6 and Table 11, the subsector producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the Water Transport sector is Water Delivery Pumps at 77.4%, followed by Stormwater Management at 22.6%.

Wastewater Treatment Facilities Wastewater coming from homes and businesses is rich in organic matter and has a high concentration of carbon and nitrogen (along with other organic elements). As wastewater is collected, treated, and discharged, chemical processes in aerobic and anaerobic conditions lead to the creation and emission of two greenhouse gases: methane and nitrous oxide. Local governments that operate wastewater treatment facilities, including treatment plants, septic systems, collection lagoons, and other facilities, must therefore account for the emission of these gases. Electricity consumption and the on-site combustion of fuels such as natural gas and diesel are also significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions from the operation of wastewater treatment facilities. Data relating to electricity consumption were obtained from PG&E. Data relating to backup generators and fuel consumption were obtained from Public Works. The City of Lodi has operated the White Slough Wastewater Treatment Facility since 1966. The treatment plant covers approximately 1,040 acres. In 2008, these facilities served approximately 63,313 people, including the residents and businesses located in other jurisdictions. The Wastewater Treatment sector produced the third-largest amount of emissions in this inventory. Overall, this facility produced 1,519 metric tons of CO2e (22.6% of total emissions). As illustrated in Figure 7 and Table 13, the subsector producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the Wastewater Treatment sector is Centralized Treatment Process Emissions at 57.4%, followed by Facility Energy Use at 31.9%.

Power Generation Facilities Emissions from power generation are due to the combustion of fuels (natural gas, coal, etc.) to generate electricity. Emissions can also come from purchased electricity used by the utility, transmission and distribution losses, and the emission of sulfur hexafluoride from power transmission lines. City of Lodi is one of the relatively few local governments in California that operates a municipal utility. In order to serve their residents’ and businesses’ energy needs, municipal utilities can perform a variety of functions—among others, this may include generating electricity, purchasing natural gas and other fuels, and purchasing renewable energy offsets. This allows the City of Lodi more flexibility in determining how “clean” the electricity is (what proportion of electricity comes from renewable or low-polluting sources), and provides an excellent opportunity for effective emissions reduction within the City’s operations. Lodi Electric Utility is a publicly owned utility provider (POU) which services the City of Lodi and surrounding areas. LEU procures electricity through the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), a joint powers authority. The NCPA purchases and generates electricity on behalf of member entities. Since electricity generation at LEU facilities is part of the NCPA collaborative, emissions from these activities are not counted toward the City of Lodi's municipal GHG emissions inventory. However, the City does own and operate local transmission and distribution lines. Transmission and distribution of electricity in inherently inefficient, so emissions associated with transmission losses are included in


23

this inventory. Additionally, transmission and distribution lines are insulated by chemicals, such as SF6, which release GHG emissions when leaked. SF6 leakage is also included in this inventory. The Power Generation Facilities sector produced the fifth-largest amount of emissions in this inventory. Overall, these facilities produced 653 metric tons of CO2e (9.7% of total emissions). As illustrated in Figure 8 and Table 15, the subsector producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the Power Generation Facilities sector was the Transmission and Distribution system at 78.4%, followed by SF6 Emissions at 21.6%.

Vehicle Fleet and Mobile Equipment The vehicles and mobile equipment used in the City of Lodi’s daily operations include: heavy duty trucks responding to emergency fire calls; heavy and light trucks used for landscape and maintenance tasks; passenger cars, light trucks, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) driven on a variety of site visits, including building inspections; among others. Most vehicles consume gasoline, some consume diesel, some consume compressed natural gas (CNG), and each results in greenhouse gas emissions. Gasoline and diesel-powered maintenance equipment contributes to greenhouse gas emissions as well (22 pieces of equipment were repoted). In addition, vehicles with air conditioning or refrigeration equipment use refrigerants that can leak from the vehicle. The majority of vehicles in the fleet were used in the Public Works Department across a variety of divisions (e.g. Water, Streets, Park Maintenance, etc.). Other vehicles were used by the Police Department, Fire Department, and Administration, among others. The Vehicle Fleet sector produced the second-largest amount of emissions in this inventory. Overall, this sector produced 1612 metric tons of CO2e (24.0% of total emissions). As illustrated in Figure 9 and Table 17, the source producing the most greenhouse gas emissions in the Vehicle Fleet sector was Gasoline at 72.8%, followed by Diesel at 21.9%. Emissions from vehicle fleet use by department are illustrated in Figure 10.

Transit Fleet The vehicles and mobile equipment used in the City of Lodi’s public transportation operations, including buses, shuttles, and others, burn compressed natural gas (CNG), resulting in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, vehicles with air conditioning or refrigeration equipment use refrigerants that can leak from the vehicle. These values were not provided assuming they are included in with the vehicle fleet. The Transit Fleet sector produced the eighth-largest amount of emissions in this inventory. Overall, this sector produced 49.68 metric tons of CO2e (0.7% of total emissions). As illustrated in Table 19, the only source producing the greenhouse gas emissions in the Transit Fleet sector was CNG.

Government-Generated Solid Waste Many local government operations generate solid waste, much of which is eventually sent to a landfill. Typical sources of waste in local government operations include paper and food waste from offices and facilities, construction waste from public works, and plant debris from parks departments. Organic materials in government-generated solid waste (including paper, food scraps, plant debris, textiles, wood waste, etc.) generate methane as they decay in the anaerobic environment of a landfill. Emissions from the waste sector are an estimate of methane generation that will result from the anaerobic decomposition of all organic waste sent to landfill in the base year. It is important to note that although these emissions are attributed to the inventory year in which the waste is generated, the emissions themselves will occur over the 100+ year timeframe that the waste will decompose. The Solid Waste sector produced the seventh-largest amount of emissions in this inventory. Overall, this sector produced 54.87 metric tons of CO2e (0.8% of total emissions). The breakdown of shares of waste generation by


27

department and/or location are reported in Figure 11 and Table 21. The subsector that produced the most waste was Parks and Recreation (not including Hutchins Square) at 32 metric tons of CO2e (57.8%).

Employee Commute Emissions in the Employee Commute sector are due to combustion of fuels in vehicles used by government employees for commuting to work at the City of Lodi. Results from a survey are shown below. Current full-time City staff members were surveyed and 94 responses were collected, resulting in a sample of approximately 21% of employees at 2008 staff levels. The survey was used to collect the data needed to calculate emissions and also capture other information that will help the City set effective policy addressing this sector. The Employee Commute sector produced the fourth-largest amount of emissions in this inventory. As seen in Table 23, this sector produced 739 metric tons of CO2e (11.0% of total emissions). Nearly all vehicles are fueled by gasoline, with only a few using diesel. Tables 24 through 28 present summary information from preference-based questions included in the survey. This information is intended to inform the City of Lodi about potential transportation options to increase convenience and productivity while reducing the City’s impact on the environment.

Inventory Methodologies The Clean Air & Climate Protection Software (CACP 2009) made it possible to calculate greenhouse gas emissions for the following greenhouse gases: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulfur Hexafluoride. Activity data was collected for a number of operations through a number of methods. Activity data was stored in Master Data Workbook (MDWB), which serves as a tool for organizing and conditioning data, and, in some cases, calculating emissions. Data collection methods range from LGO Protocol-recommended, to LGO Protocol-alternative and non-LGO Protocol (but generally accepted) alternatives. The methods used depend on the availability and format of data. Inputting activity data into CACP 2009, along with the correct emission factor, resulted in the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions for the City of Lodi’s 2008 government operations.

Buildings and Other Facilities The Building and Facilities sector of the inventory reports emission from two main sources: electricity and natural gas. The required data were obtained from the local government departments and regional utility providers. The utility companies that service City of Lodi’s government facilities are: x

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) – natural gas and electricity service

x

Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) – electricity service

This data were acquired per request and approval from both the City of Lodi and the utility providers. The data were received in the following formats: x

PG&E electricity and natural gas (kWh/therms) – Excel spreadsheet indicating therms of consumption and cost by individual account

x

LEU electricity (kWh) – Data table indicating kWh consumption and cost by address.

The data were then inserted into the corresponding section within the MDWB. The data were then sorted and conditioned in order to use the recommended method for reporting emissions.

Buildings and Other Facilities: Electricity and Natural Gas Related Emission According to the LGO Protocol, the recommended method for reporting emissions related to electricity consumption and natural gas combustion is summing the total number of kWh or therms (Activity Data) and multiplying the Activity Data by a corresponding emission factor. Emission factors are values that are reported by the utility company and are stored within CACP software.


32

x

Summed Activity (kWh/therm) x Emissions Factor = GHG Emissions

The raw data were inserted into the spreadsheet labeled FA-Utility Raw Data (raw data must be kept without conditioning as a quality-control reference) and then copied to the spreadsheet labeled FA-Utility Working Data in the MDWB to be sorted. The data were sorted within the FA-Utility Working Data spreadsheet to isolate building facilities kWh and therm usage; premise type, account numbers, addresses, and service descriptions were categories used to sort the data. Once sorted, the data were copied to the Building Working Data spreadsheet, where they were separated into the different building facilities. The kWh and therms were then summed per individual facility and the values per facility and grand total are reflected in the Building Final Data spreadsheet. After the Building Final Data spreadsheet was populated with all of the facilities and their kWh/therm usage, the information was entered into CACP. According to LGO protocol, inventory of kWh emissions for the Building and Facilities sector is reported as Scope 2-purchased electricity while the inventory of therm emission is reported as Scope 1-stationary combustion. A separate record is entered into CACP per facility’s kWh and therm usage, making sure that the entry is reported under the correct Scope and with the correct emissions factor (differs for each utility provider).

Buildings and Other Facilities: Reporting Inconsistencies and Troubleshooting Electricity and natural gas data were conditioned according to the LGO protocol with some minor inconsistencies. While sorting the data to clearly identify the electricity and natural gas used per facility, there were some facilities that had only electricity or natural gas usage associated with them: x

Parks and Recreation (OFC) – natural gas data missing

x

Parks and Recreation (SW/COR N STKN-E LOCUST) – electricity data missing

x

Public Works (1331 S HAM LN UNIT B) – electricity data missing

x

Public Safety Building – electricity data missing

The totals were reported with these inconsistencies assuming that the utility providers may have included the accompanying natural gas or electricity usage for the facility elsewhere (i.e. the facility shares a utility meter with another facility). Another explanation may be that the building does not use electricity or natural gas. For instance, some heating systems may be run completely by electricity, rendering natural gas service unnecessary. Since LEU procures electricity through the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), the emissions factors related to electricity use at City facilities must be taken from NCPA operations rather than LEU alone. NCPA’s emissions factors tend to be lower than average, so it was important to utilize the appropriate factors for Scope 2 emissions calculations. While the format of emissions reported by NCPA to CARB and the Climate Registry were not compatible with CACP, 2005 emissions factors for NCPA were available. 2005 emissions factors were applied to all facilities utilizing NCPA power.


33

Facility refrigerants were omitted from the inventory due to unavailability of data. Thus, emissions in this sector may be slightly undercounted. Fire suppressants were also omitted from the inventory. According to the Facilities Services division, the City’s extinguishers are serviced once per year. No further data could be acquired pursuant to LGO protocol recommended methods. During the course of this inventory, backup power generator fuel records were requested from the Facilities Services division, LEU, and White Slough Wastewater Treatment Facility. While data were acquired for the latter two facilities (reported in the Power Generation and Wastewater Treatment sectors), backup generator data could not be obtained for general buildings and facilities. Thus, emissions in this sector may be slightly undercounted.

Streetlights and Traffic Signals The Lighting sector of the inventory reports emission from one main source, electricity. The required data were obtained from the regional utility providers. The utility company that services City of Lodi’s lighting is: x

LEU – electricity service

This data were acquired per request and approval from both the City of Lodi and LEU. The data were received in the following formats: x

LEU Traffic Signals (kWh) – Data table indicating electricity consumption by month

x

LEU Streetlights (kWh) – Aggregate value for electricity consumption and total number of streetlights

The data were inserted into the corresponding section within the MDWB public lighting final data tab. The recommend method was used for reporting emissions.

Lighting: Electricity Related Emission According to the LGO Protocol, the recommended method for reporting emissions related to electricity consumption is summing the total number of kWh (Activity Data) and multiplying the Activity Data by a corresponding emission factor. Emission factors are values that are reported by the utility company and are stored within CACP software. x

Summed Activity (kWh) x Emissions Factor = GHG Emissions

The raw data were provided asaggregate values, requiring no further conditioning. After the Public Lighting Final Data spreadsheet was populated with the kWh usage, the information was entered into CACP. According to the LGO protocol, the inventory of kWh emissions for the Public Lighting sector is reported as Scope 2-purchased electricity. A separate record is entered into CACP per subsector’s kWh usage, making sure that the entry is reported under the correct Scope and with the correct emissions factor (differs for each utility provider).


34

Lighting: Reporting Inconsistencies and Troubleshooting Additional public lighting data were not provided upon request including park lighting, traffic controllers, and other lighting. There is indication that the data exists but was not readily available. Electricity emissions factors for 2005 were used as proxy factors in lieu of 2008 factors. In 2008, the information was not reported in a format consistent with LGO protocol methodologies.

Water Transport Facilities The Water Transport sector of the inventory reports emission from two main sources, electricity and natural gas. This sector of the inventory consisted of electricity and natural gas for the operation of sprinkler systems, lift stations, and well pumps associated with non-waste water transport. The required data were obtained from the local government departments and regional utility providers. The utility company that services City of Lodi’s water transport facilities is: x

PG&E – electricity service

This data were acquired per request and approval from both the City of Lodi and PG&E. The data were received in the following formats: x


The data were inserted into the corresponding section within the MDWB raw data tabs. The data were then sorted and conditioned in order to use the recommended method for reporting emissions.

Water Transport Facilities: Electricity Related Emission According to the LGO Protocol, the recommended method for reporting emissions related to electricity consumption is summing the total number of kWh (Activity Data) and multiplying the Activity Data by a corresponding emission factor.

The raw data were inserted into the spreadsheet labeled FA-Utility Raw Data (raw data must be kept without conditioning as a quality-control reference) and then copied to the spreadsheet labeled FA-Utility Working Data in the MDWB to be sorted. The data were sorted within the FA-Utility Working Data spreadsheet to isolate lighting activity (kWh); premise type, account numbers, addresses, and service descriptions are categories used to sort the data. Once sorted, the data were copied to the Water Transport Working Data spreadsheet to be separated into the different subsectors (water delivery pumps, sprinklers/irrigation, storm water, and others). The kWh and therms were then


35

summed per individual facility. The values per facility and grand total are reported in the Water Transport Final Data spreadsheet. After the Water Transport Final Data spreadsheet was populated with all of the subsectors and their energy usage, the information was entered into CACP. According to the LGO Protocol, the inventory of kWh emissions for the Water Transport sector is reported as Scope 2-purchased electricity, while the inventory of therm emission is reported as Scope 1-stationary combustion.. A separate record is entered into CACP per subsector’s kWh usage to ensure the entry is reported under the correct Scope and with the correct emissions factor (differs for each utility provider).

Water Transport Facilities: Reporting Inconsistencies and Troubleshooting An assumption made is that all the data were provided and some data may include only one type of consumption. For example, the drainage pumps are powered only by electricity and not natural gas.

Wastewater Treatment Facilities The Wastewater Treatment Facilities sector of the inventory reports emission from three main sources: electricity, natural gas, and wastewater processes. This sector of the inventory consisted of electricity and natural gas data from the treatment facility, wastewater pumps, and wastewater lift stations. In addition, emissions from wastewater treatment processes are also reported in this sector of the inventory. The required data were obtained from the local government departments and regional utility providers. The utility companies that service City of Lodi’s wastewater facility are: x

PG&E – natural gas and electricity service

x

LEU– electricity service

This data were acquired per request and approval from both the City of Lodi and utility providers. The data were received in the following format: x


x

LEU electricity (kWh) – Data table indicating kWh consumption and cost by address

In addition, the White Slough Waste Water Treatment Facility division provided relevant data to calculate process emissions and emissions from fuels consumed by backup generators. The data were inserted into the corresponding section within the MDWB raw data tabs. The data were then sorted and conditioned in order to use the recommend method for reporting emissions.


36

Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Electricity and Natural Gas Related Emission According to the LGO Protocol the recommended method for reporting emissions related to electricity consumption and natural gas combustion is summing the total number of kWh or therms and multiplying them by their corresponding emission factor. Emission factors are values that are reported by the utility company and are stored within CACP software. x


The raw data were inserted into the spreadsheet labeled FA-Utility Raw Data (raw data must be kept without conditioning as a quality-control reference) and then copied to the spreadsheet labeled FA-Utility Working Data in the MDWB to be sorted. The data were sorted within the FA-Utility Working Data spreadsheet to isolate the wastewater facility kWh and therm usage as well as wastewater transport kWh; premise type, account numbers, addresses, and service descriptions are categories used to sort the data. Once sorted, the data were copied to the WW-Energy Use Working Data spreadsheet, where it was separated into the different facilities. The kWh and therms were then summed per individual facility. The values per facility and grand total are reflected in the WW-Energy Use Final Data spreadsheet. After the WW-Energy Use Final Data spreadsheet was populated with all of the facilities and their kWh/therm usage, the information was entered into CACP. According to LGO Protocol, inventory of kWh emissions for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities sector is reported as Scope 2-purchased electricity, the inventory of therm emission is reported as Scope 1-stationary combustion, and the inventory of wastewater treatment is reported as Scope 1-process emissions. A separate record is entered into CACP per facility’s kWh and therm usage to ensure the entry is reported under the correct Scope and with the correct emissions factor (differs for each utility provider).

Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Wastewater Treatment Related Emission According to the LGO protocol, the recommended method for reporting emissions related to wastewater treatment processes is to obtain site-specific measurements and apply a standard equation (below) based on the type of treatment system in place. The alternative method is to utilize population estimates, which applies a standard per-capita emissions rate. In 2008, the City of Lodi maintained a centralized treatment facility with an anaerobic digester. As outlined in LGO protocol Equations 10.7 and 10.9 below, quantifying emissions from centralized treatment facilities requires collection of the following data: quantity of nitrogen produced per day, and population served by the treatment facility. The nitrification/denitrification process creates N2O, which is emitted into the atmosphere. Emissions are calculated using the following formulas, which are built into the MDWB.

As outlined in LGO protocol Equation 10.1 below, quantifying emissions from anaerobic digesters requires collection of the following data: quantity of digester gas produced per day, and fraction of digester gas as CH4. The anaerobic digestion process creates CH4, which is captured and combusted. Due to minimal destruction inefficiencies, some gases escape the system. Emissions from digester gas are calculated using the following formula, which is built into the MDWB. x

Equation 10.1: Annual CH4 emissions (metric tons CO2e) = (Digester Gas x FCH4 x Ʊ(CH4) x (1-DE) x 0.0283 x 365.25 x 10-6) x GWP

Power Generation Facilities The Power Generation sector of the inventory reports emissions from electricity and natural gas consumption by LEU facilities, transmission and distribution losses by LEU, and fugitive gasses in the transmission and distribution process. The required data were obtained from LEU, either directly or indirectly (i.e. by being directed to CARB reports).

Power Generation Facilities: Electricity and Natural Gas Related Emissions According to the LGO Protocol the recommended method for reporting emissions related to electricity consumption and natural gas combustion is summing the total number of kWh or therms and multiplying them by their corresponding emission factor. Emission factors are values that are reported by the utility company and are stored within CACP software. x


The raw data were obtained directly from LEU in the following format: x

LEU electricity (kWh) – aggregate total electricity usage and cost for the CT1 operation

x

Natural gas (MMBTU) – aggregate total natural gas usage and cost for the CT1 operation

LEU also operates the STIG facility. However, energy consumption data was not available for this facility. The data were classified as information items because the facilities are owned and operated under a joint powers agreement with NCPA and other members.

Power Generation Facilities: Transmission and Distribution Loss Related Emissions The City of Lodi owns and operates the City’s transmission and distribution system. The recommended method for reporting emissions related to transmission and distribution system losses is by first identifying the amount of electricity lost, and then by multiplying that amount by its corresponding emission factor. Emission factors are values that are reported by the utility company and are stored within CACP software. x

Electricity losses (kWh) x Emissions Factor = GHG Emissions

LEU provided commentary on the rate of loss for the local system (approximately 4%). The total amount of electricity transmitted by LEU was obtained from a report submitted to CARB for 2008 operations. The rate of loss was applied to the total amount. After that, the standard Scope 2 – purchased electricity methodology is applied.

Power Generation Facilities: Transmission and Distribution Fugitive Emissions The calculation for annual fugitive SF6 emissions was very simple. Instead of the LGO protocol preferred mass balance method, a sum total value was provided for the amount of fugitive SF6 emission. LEU reports this information to


39

CARB, so the information was readily available. The raw value was inserted into the MPG-Raw Data Spreadsheet and then copied to the MPG-SF6 Final Data Spreadsheet. According to the LGO protocol, the inventory of emissions related to SF6 is reported as Scope 1-fugitive emissions. A single record is entered into CACP, to ensure that the entry is reported under the correct Scope.

Power Generation Facilities: Reporting Inconsistencies and Troubleshooting Electricity emissions factors for 2005 were used as proxy factors in lieu of 2008 factors. In 2008, the information was not reported in a format consistent with LGO protocol methodologies. Energy consumption records could not be obtained from the STIG facility. The facility is connected directly to the transmission system. Thus, emissions from electricity consumed by the STIG facility may already be reported in the transmission and distribution losses. Energy consumption records for the CT1 facility were provided by LEU; however, it was noted that the facility is connected directly to the internal distribution system and that the figures were reported based on the amount billed to NCPA through a contractual cost-sharing agreement. Since this facility is operated under an agreement with NCPA, and because emissions from electricity consumed by the CT1 facility may already be reported in the transmission and distribution losses, these emissions were recorded as information items.

Vehicle Fleet, Transit Fleet and Mobile Equipment The Vehicle Fleet and Transit Fleet sectors of the inventory report emission from three main sources: fuel combustion, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and refrigerants. The recommended method for reporting mobile emission varies according to the emission source. For fuel combustion, the recommended method requires individual vehicle fuel data in order to build a detailed fuel consumption record. For VMT, the recommended method involves gathering individual vehicle miles to create a detailed record. The records were acquired through the City’s Fleet Services division in the following format: x

Name of vehicle or vehicle group, vehicle type, model year, class description, department, gallons consumed, fuel type, cost, and operating hours/miles

x

Aggregate refrigerant purchases

Vehicle Fleet, Transit Fleet and Mobile Equipment: Fuel and VMT Related Emission According to LGO protocol, the emissions from vehicle fleet must be reported according to CO2 emissions, calculated directly from fuel combustion, and N2O /CH4 emissions, calculated from VMT. x

Fuel (gallons) x Emissions Factor = CO2 Emissions

x

VMT (miles) x Emissions Factor = N2O/CH4 Emissions


40

The raw data were inserted into the spreadsheet labeled VF-Raw Data Data (raw data must be kept without conditioning as a quality-control reference) and then copied to the spreadsheet labeled VF-Working Data in the MDWB to be sorted by: x

Department

x

Vehicle type

x

Fuel type

Once sorted and conditioned, data were entered into the VF-Detailed Fuel Final Data and VF-Detailed VMT Final Data spreadsheets where the total amounts fuel consumption and VMT are reported per department and vehicle type. After the VF-Detailed Fuel Final Data and VF-Detailed VMT Final Data spreadsheets were populated, the information was entered into CACP. According to LGO protocol, the inventory of fuel and VMT emissions for the Vehicle Fleet sector is reported as Scope 1-mobile combustion. A separate record is entered into CACP per department to ensure the records are entered as follows: x

Vehicle Fleet, Transit Fleet and Mobile Equipment: Refrigerant Related Emission This sector of the inventory required refrigerant charge information. For leaked refrigerants, the recommended method requires individual data per vehicle on the amount (lbs or kg) of refrigerant recharged into the vehicle. In the event that there is not sufficient information to complete the recommended method, alternative methods can be used to calculate the amount of leaked refrigerants. In this case, aggregate refrigerant purchases were used as indicators of the amount of refrigerant recharged throughout the year. Since refrigerants were reported in aggregate, it was not possible to disaggregate data by sector (Vehicle Fleet vs. Transit Fleet), so all refrigerant related emissions were allocated to the larger vehicle fleet.


41

According to LGO Protocol, the recommended method for reporting emissions from leaked refrigerants is the mass balance method where HFC’s that have escaped into the atmosphere are summed and then multiplied by the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factor. A simplified version of the mass balance method was used in this sector of the inventory, with purchased refrigerants serving as proxy measures of leaked refrigerants. x

Total purchased HFCs (kg) x GWP Factor = GHG Emissions

The raw data were inserted into the spreadsheet labeled RF-Raw Data and then copied to the spreadsheet labeled RF-VF Working Data in the MDWB (raw data must be kept without conditioning as a quality-control reference) to be sorted by refrigerant type. Once sorted and conditioned, the data were then entered into the RF-VF Mass Balance Data spreadsheet. Once the RF-VF Mass Balance Data spreadsheet was populated, the information was entered into CACP. According to LGO Protocol, the inventory of refrigerant emissions for the Vehicle Fleet sector is reported as Scope 1-fugitive emissions. A separate record is entered into CACP per refrigerant and vehicle type to ensure the entries are reported under the correct Scope and with the correct GWP factor (differs for each refrigerant).

Vehicle Fleet, Transit Fleet and Mobile Equipment: Reporting Inconsistencies and Limitations Records of purchased refrigerants served as a proxy measure of leaked refrigerants in lieu of actual data. All refrigerants were recorded in the Vehicle Fleet sector because refrigerant data could not be disaggregated.

Government-Generated Solid Waste The Government-Generated Solid Waste sector of the inventory reports emission from one main source, solid waste. This sector focused exclusively on the solid waste generated by government operations. The records were acquired through x

Public Works department – manages contract with waste-hauler

and were in the following format: x

Solid Waste by Volume – City report providing the number of units, capacity and number of pick ups per week for each location

Government-Generated Solid Waste: Solid Waste Related Emission According to the LGO protocol, the recommended method for reporting emissions associated with solid waste is to acquire the volume of waste collected per department within the local government operations. This information was entered into the WG-Solid Waste by Volume spreadsheet. The volumes are converted to tons of waste that are ultimately sent to landfill. The totals are then


42

pasted into the WG-Solid Waste Final Input Data spreadsheet and used to create a record within CACP. The government-generated waste was entered into CACP as Scope 3 – waste related emissions. The following waste characterization 4 is preset in CACP with different emissions factors for each waste type: x

Paper Products – 39.4%

x

Food Waste – 9.8%

x

Plant Debris – 7.0%

x

Wood and Textiles – 6.7%

x

All other waste – 27.1%

Government-Generated Solid Waste : Reporting Inconsistencies and Troubleshooting Containers were assumed to be 90% full at pickup, which is a conservative estimate in lieu of actual records. Each record indicated whether the unit contained waste or recyclable material. 100% of the waste was assumed to be sent to landfill. Data relating to recycling containers were excluded during the calculation process because those materials were assumed to be diverted from the waste stream.

Employee Commute The Employee Commute sector of the inventory reports emission from two main sources: fuel combustion and vehicle miles traveled. This sector of the inventory utilized a survey to assess VMT and fuel data. The employees were surveyed on their work commute time, distance, vehicle type, fuel consumption, fuel type, and several reasons for not using alternative transportation like bus transit or bicycling. The records were acquired through x

Employee Commute Questionnaire – Survey

and were in the following format: x

Survey results – Excel spreadsheet

Employee Commute: Fuel and VMT Related Emission The VMT information was adjusted according to the survey response rate. The adjusted VMT for each vehicle type was entered into CACP as Scope 3 – employee commute. The Total VMT value was entered with the transport average set coefficients were set to Default and the fuel set coefficients were set to Highway VMT (N2O, CH4). The Total Fuel value was entered into CACP as Scope 3 – employee commute. For this data, the transport average set coefficients were set to Highway Fuel CO2 Only and the fuel set coefficients were set to Default.

4 Default Waste Characterization provided by the CIWMB 1999 Waste Characterization Study -- Public Administration Group: http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/WasteChar/BizGrpCp.asp. Waste categories in the report were bundled to fit the waste categories of the Clean Air and Climate Protection 2009 software (CACP 2009).


43

Employee Commute : Reporting Inconsistencies and Troubleshooting The City opted to use a truncated form of the Employee Commute Survey alongside the full version developed by ICLEI. While the truncated survey matches the full version by generating responses regarding employee commute time, distance, vehicle type, fuel consumption and fuel type, it does not include questions to determine behavior choices – as the regular ICLEI survey does. As a result, summary statistics regarding commute choices are from the sample of 21 employees who opted to respond to the full version. The emissions reported in this sector are derived from a sample of 94 current employees, which is a 20.5% response rate assuming the 2008 staffing level (458).

15.20.380

Changes or Modifications

In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the adoption of amendments more restrictive than the requirements contained in the provisions published in the California Building Standard Code, are needed because of local conditions, as specified below: (A)

Climatic

(1)

Conditions

Precipitation averages 18 inches per year and can reach as high as 35 inches per year. Virtually all of the rain occurs during the months of October through April. The remaining months receive little or no rain. Temperatures during the summer months can reach as high as 110 and City of Lodi averages 19 days over 100 each year. Relative humidity during these summer months is very low. Lodi averages 34 days of dense fog per year, and has had as many as 64 foggy days. (2)

Impacts

The generally dry, hot summer months create extreme fire conditions. Adding to this situation is the dryness and combustibility of many structures during the summer, especially true of structures with wood siding and roofs constructed of wood shakes and shingles. The cyclical uncertainty that allow weather events can cause rapid melting of

14

the snow pack, which causes flood potential in areas surrounding the Mokelumne River. The foggy conditions can inhibit the dispatch and timeliness of emergency equipment reaching the site of a fire. During foggy periods, it is common place for visibility to be near zero, which results in emergency equipment having to decrease their speed to less than 25 miles per hour. (B)

Geographic

(1)

Conditions

The City of Lodi is subject to ground tremors from seismic events as the County is in seismic Category D. The Mokelumne River, which borders the northern city limits, is subjected to flood potential and its levies are subject to failure from seismic activity or high water. (2)

Impacts

The geologic conditions in San Joaquin County in general, and the City of Lodi, in particular, have the potential of restricting access to structures, especially in remote or isolated areas. A moderate earthquake or extended periods of rain can impact local access roads. (C)

Topographic

(1)

Conditions

The City of Lodi consists mainly of the San Joaquin Valley floor. The valley floor is typically flat land area bisected by intermittent and year round stream and river systems. Much of the valley floor is irrigated agriculture. Low land areas protected by a complex and extensive levee system characterize the Delta area. Union Pacific Railroad Tracks bisect the eastern and western portions of Lodi as well as Highway 99 creating traffic congestion and emergency response delays. (2)

Impacts

The valley floor is frequently subject to both general and localized flooding. Because the area is so flat and low, it is not unusual for local drainage systems to be inadequate during heavy rain periods. This condition can isolate areas where roads are flooded and thereby block access. With the OSHA “two-in two-out” rule requiring two fire fighters ready to make attack only when two others are present, the potential delay in east-west response increases the risk to firefighter and the public. While it is clearly understood that the adoption of such amendments may not prevent the incidence of fire, the implementation of these various amendments to the code attempt to reduce the severity and potential loss of life, property, and protection of the environment. Section 2. No Mandatory Duty of Care. This ordinance is not intended to and shall not be construed or given effect in a manner which imposes upon the City, or any officer or employee thereof, a mandatory duty of care towards persons or property within the City or outside of the City so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law. Section 3. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed insofar as such conflict may exist.

15

Section 4. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof. Section 5. That nothing in this ordinance or in the California Fire Code hereby adopted shall be construed to affect any suit or proceeding impending in any court, or any rights acquired, or liability incurred, or cause or causes of action acquired or existing, under any act or ordinance hereby repealed as cited in Section 4 of this ordinance; nor shall any just or legal right or remedy of any character be lost, impaired or affected by this ordinance. Section 6. That the City Clerk is hereby ordered and directed to cause this ordinance to be published. This ordinance shall be published one time in “Lodi News Sentinel,” a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of Lodi. Section 7. That this ordinance and the rules, regulations, provisions, requirements, orders, and matters established and adopted hereby shall take effect January 1, 2014, a date which is at least 30 days after passage of this ordinance. Approved this 20th day of November, 2013 ___________________________________ ALAN NAKANISHI, Mayor
