CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT (Continued) <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF April 5. 1994 <br />SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION REVISING ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT <br />CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY NUMBER 25 RELATING TO <br />COMMERCIAL LIGHTING REBATE PROGRAM <br />DISCUSSION <br />A total of $25,000 has been set aside in Fiscal Year 1993-1994 for conducting a commercial <br />lighting rebate program. The Electric Department plans on continuing this program in Fiscal Year <br />1994-1995. <br />Several electric utilities in California have commercial lighting rebate programs including Southern <br />California Edison Company, the City of Pasadena, and the City of Anaheim. Rebates for more <br />efficient lighting systems act as an incentive to the customer and allow energy saving lighting <br />projects to be more cost-effective. The Electric Utility benefits from reduction in peak electric <br />demand on the system. <br />Staff evaluated the commercial lighting rebate program in terms of costs and benefits. Benefits in <br />terms of purchased power cost savings exceed program implementation costs. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />Funding for this program exists in the current Fiscal year 1993-1994 Electric Department budget. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />Not applicable. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve revised Customer Service Policy Number 25, and <br />adopt the foregoing resolution. <br />City Manager's Concurrence: <br />Report prepared by: Robert Buell, senior Energy Services Specialist <br />Page 2 of 2 Item No. <br />
