Lodi, CA 95240
Re: Proposal Letter – Request for Council Non-Profit Fund Support Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the Lodi City Council, On behalf of The Child Abuse Prevention Council and our CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Program, thank you for the opportunity to apply for funding through the City Council Non-Profit Fund.

The CAPC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. CASA is dedicated to ensuring that every child in foster care has the support of a caring, trained advocate who stands by them in court, in school, and in life.

Our mission is to give children in foster care a voice and the stability they need to thrive.

Project Description – CASA Superhero Run & Community Health Fair (“Superhero Alley”) On September 26, 2026, CASA will host the 12th Annual CASA Superhero Run at Lodi Lake. This event raises awareness and critical funding for youth in foster care, while also providing a direct benefit to the community through Superhero Alley, one of the largest community health resource fairs in Lodi.

Superhero Alley brings together over 30 resource vendors from across San Joaquin County, offering free health screenings, wellness information, Head Start and First 5 programs, housing and homelessness resources, and family-strengthening services. The fair promotes healthy living while connecting families to vital programs — all at no cost to attendees.

Alignment with City Council Strategic Priorities
This project directly advances the Council’s 2025–2026 Strategic Vision by:
• Public Safety / Quality of Life – Connecting families to prevention and wellness services that reduce risks and improve long-term outcomes.
• Support a Healthy Community – Providing free health education, screenings, and early childhood resources (First 5, Head Start).
• Reduce Unsheltered Homelessness – Featuring local housing agencies and homelessness prevention partners that offer immediate resources to vulnerable residents.

Funding Request
We respectfully request $10,000 from the Council Non-Profit Fund to help offset the costs of hosting the Community Health Fair at the CASA Superhero Run. Requested funds will cover essential expenses, including the Lodi Lake site rental, sound system rental, tables and chairs, signage, and outreach materials.
34 Proposed Budget
Vendor / Source Amount Description
Amazon $100 Gift bags & table covers
Smart & Final $100 Event supplies (water, snacks, misc.) Walmart $150 Event supplies (decorations, materials)
Lodi News Sentinel $500 Superhero Run advertisements
Harbor Signs & Graphics $700 4’x8’ coroplast signs w/ grommets Giuffera’s Party Rental $500 80 chairs & 40 tables
Harbor Signs & Graphics $150 Additional signage for SHR City of Lodi – Lodi Lake $2,850 Venue rental for Superhero Run & Health Fair Sound System Rental $2,500 Audio equipment for announcements, music, and program flow
Total Identified Costs $7,500
Additional Supplies &
Contingency $2,500 Tents, volunteer support, extra signage, and unanticipated needs
Total Requested $10,000.

Budget Justification
The CASA Superhero Run and Community Health Fair is one of the largest community resource events in Lodi, requiring significant logistical support to ensure accessibility and impact. While identified costs currently total $7,500, the requested $10,000 allows CASA to cover essential event infrastructure for safety and program management, and also provides a contingency for tents, volunteer support, and other unanticipated expenses. This ensures the event is safe, welcoming, and impactful for more than 600 attendees and 30+ community health vendors.

Objectives & Measurement of Success
• Provide space and visibility for at least 30 health and resource vendors. • Serve a minimum of 600 Lodi residents, including families and vulnerable populations. • Distribute wellness and resource information to attendees. • Collect vendor surveys to evaluate increased awareness of services and measure event impact.

Community Benefit
Every day in San Joaquin County, nearly two children enter foster care. CASA’s advocacy ensures they have stability, mentorship, and a voice — and the Superhero Run directly funds that advocacy. The Superhero Alley Community Health Fair also delivers a powerful benefit to Lodi residents by bringing together more than 30 local health and resource providers in one place, connecting families with free screenings, wellness information, housing and homelessness prevention resources, and early childhood programs such as Head Start and First 5.
35 By helping to offset the infrastructure costs of hosting this fair — including venue, sound system, equipment, and signage — City funding allows CASA to dedicate more of the event’s proceeds directly to its mission of serving foster youth. In this way, Council support not only strengthens the health and well-being of Lodi families through expanded access to resources but also increases the long-term impact of CASA’s child advocacy program.

Thank you for your consideration of this request and for your commitment to strengthening the Lodi community. We would be honored to partner with the City Council to make this year’s CASA Superhero Run and Community Health Fair a success.

AGENDA TITLE:

Receive and File an Informational Report Regarding Corrections to the City's 2024 and 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Reports (CD)
MEETING DATE:

June 17, 2026
PREPARED BY:

Cynthia Marsh, Interim Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Receive and File an Informational Report Regarding Corrections to the City's 2024 and 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Reports
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

California Government Code Section 65400 requires all jurisdictions in the State of California to prepare and submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) regarding implementation of their adopted Housing Element. The APR is a standardized reporting document developed and maintained by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and completed annually by every city and county in the state.

The APR is not a City-created report. Rather, it is a state-mandated reporting form consisting of multiple Excel tables, formulas, and macros established by HCD. Jurisdictions are required to report housing entitlement applications received, entitlements approved, building permits issued, Certificates of Occupancy issued, and progress toward implementation of Housing Element programs. Due to the complexity of the reporting workbook and the extensive use of formulas and macros, it is common for jurisdictions to identify and correct data discrepancies following annual submittals.

Following City Council approval on March 18, 2026, and submission of the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report, staff conducted additional reconciliation of residential permit data while reviewing Housing Element reporting information. During that process, staff identified discrepancies between the residential permit activity reported in the APR and the information reflected in the City's permit tracking system, TRAKiT.

Staff subsequently conducted a detailed review of permit records and reporting methodologies within the City's permitting software. The review determined that the discrepancies were attributable to the configuration of reports previously established within the software for APR reporting purposes. The issues involved the manner in which permit issuance and permit finalization data were queried and extracted from the system and were not the result of inaccurate permit records, data entry errors, or incorrect permit inspections.

To ensure the accuracy of the revised data, staff conducted a permit-by-permit reconciliation of residential building permit records associated with the affected reporting periods. Because permit records may be affected by expirations, cancellations, reissuances, ownership transfers, status changes, and other administrative actions, staff did not rely solely on automated report generation to develop the revised totals.

Instead, staff manually reviewed residential permit activity to verify both building permits issued and City of Lodi Printed on 6/12/2026Page 1 of 3

Certificates of Occupancy issued during the reporting years.

A building permit is considered "issued" when the City authorizes construction to begin. Permit issuance reflects development activity and a builder's intent to construct housing units; however, an issued permit does not guarantee that construction will occur or be completed. By contrast, a Certificate of Occupancy is issued only after construction has been completed, all required inspections have been passed, and the dwelling unit is authorized for occupancy. Certificates of Occupancy therefore represent completed housing units and are generally considered the most reliable measure of actual housing production.

Because building permits issued and Certificates of Occupancy measure different stages of the development process, the numbers reported in a given year do not necessarily correspond to one another. Housing units receiving Certificates of Occupancy in a given year may have been permitted in prior years, while permits issued during a reporting year may not result in completed housing units until future years.

This verification effort required a detailed review of residential permit activity across multiple reporting years and confirmed that the APR underreported certain residential permitting and housing production activity. Staff subsequently consulted with HCD's Annual Progress Report team regarding the appropriate corrective action.

Based on the reconciliation and discussions with HCD, staff determined that revisions to the City's 2024 and 2025 Annual Progress Reports were warranted. The corrected data has since been incorporated into the City's current Housing Element Annual Progress Report records.

The permit-by-permit reconciliation resulted in the following corrections:

2024 180 259 +79 68 326 +258
As shown above, the reconciliation identified underreporting in both residential building permits issued and Certificates of Occupancy reported in prior Annual Progress Reports. The corrected data indicates that residential development activity and housing production during the reporting period were substantially higher than originally reported.

The corrected data also provides additional context regarding local housing market conditions. While residential construction activity has continued within the City, staff has observed through discussions with local developers and builders that higher mortgage interest rates, elevated construction costs, affordability challenges, and slower housing absorption rates have contributed to a more cautious development environment than existed in prior years. These broader market conditions continue to influence the pace at which residential projects are permitted, constructed, sold, and occupied.

As part of the review associated with this correction, Community Development staff met with the City's Information Technology Division to discuss permitting system functionality, reporting capabilities, and future departmental technology needs. Through that process, staff identified opportunities to improve report validation procedures and strengthen quality control measures for future state-required reporting.

The City's current permitting software platform, TRAKiT (Central Square Technologies), is scheduled for contract renewal within the next two years. In advance of that decision, Community Development and Information Technology staff plan to evaluate available permitting software solutions and reporting capabilities City of Lodi Printed on 6/12/2026Page 2 of 3

40 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Information Technology staff plan to evaluate available permitting software solutions and reporting capabilities to determine the most effective long-term option for the City. As part of this effort, staff intends to engage with peer jurisdictions utilizing both TRAKiT and alternative permitting platforms to better understand system performance, reporting functionality, implementation considerations, and best practices. Information gathered through this process will assist the City in determining whether to continue with the current platform or pursue a competitive procurement process for an alternative solution.

In addition to evaluating future software options, staff has implemented supplemental verification procedures for Housing Element Annual Progress Report preparation, including manual reconciliation of residential permit activity prior to submittal. Staff will continue coordinating with HCD to ensure future reports accurately reflect permit activity.

Applicability of Corrections to Prior Housing Element Cycles Because the correction has already been completed in coordination with HCD, staff is providing this informational report to ensure transparency and to notify the City Council and public of the correction.

During its review, staff evaluated whether similar reporting methodology issues may have affected Annual Progress Reports submitted during the City's previous 5th Cycle Housing Element planning period. While prior reports may have been subject to similar reporting limitations, staff determined that corrections to those reports are neither necessary nor warranted.

Annual Progress Reports are submitted as year-specific reports associated with a particular Housing Element planning cycle. The City's 5th Cycle Housing Element planning period has concluded and is no longer the operative Housing Element for purposes of State housing law. The City adopted its 6th Cycle Housing Element in March 2024, and the document was subsequently certified by HCD in April 2024. The 2024 and 2025 Annual Progress Reports are associated with the City's currently certified Housing Element and therefore represent the active reporting period.

Staff determined that correcting the Annual Progress Reports associated with the City's current 6th Cycle Housing Element appropriately addresses the identified reporting discrepancies and ensures that reporting associated with the City's active Housing Element remains accurate. HCD did not request revisions to Annual Progress Reports associated with the closed 5th Cycle Housing Element, and staff is not proposing any amendments to those reports.

CONCLUSION
Staff identified discrepancies in the methodology used to extract residential permit activity data from the City's permitting software and subsequently completed a permit-by-permit reconciliation of residential building permits and Certificates of Occupancy. Following consultation with HCD, the City corrected the affected Annual Progress Report data associated with the current Housing Element cycle.

The corrected data reflects higher levels of both residential permitting activity and housing production than originally reported. Staff is providing this informational report to ensure transparency regarding the correction and to outline the process improvements being implemented to strengthen future state-required reporting efforts.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Industrial Waste Connection MOU with Van Ruiten Family Winery, LLC (ED) MEETING DATE:

June 17, 2026
PREPARED BY:

Luis Aguilar, Economic Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Industrial Waste Connection MOU with Van Ruiten Winery Family Winery, LLC to expand the Downtown Lodi definition.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On July 7, 2005, the City entered into an Industrial Waste Connection MOU with Van Ruiten Family Winery, LLC to allow for the winery to connect into the City’sindustrial wastewater system as a business attraction incentive to support downtown revitalization.

The MOU included a condition that the winery establish and maintain a downtown tasting room. At that time, the MOU’sdefinition for “DowntownLodi”used the boundary bounded by Church Street, Lodi Avenue, Pacific Railroad, and Lockeford Street. The tasting room was established as Cellardoor, (a collaboration by Van Ruiten Winery and Michael David Winery) at 21 N School Street.

The City Council has since adopted a Downtown Specific Plan. The plan area reflects an expanded downtown geography and includes the historic downtown core and extends east of the Union Pacific Railroad corridor to Main Street, consistent with City's recent expansion of the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning district. The Downtown Specific Plan area generally extends from Lodi Avenue to the south, Lockeford Street to the north, Pleasant Avenue to the west, and Washington Street to the east.

The winery is in the process of relocating its tasting room to the corner of Elm and Main Street, which is within the Downtown Specific Plan area. Because the MOU requires the tasting room to be located within the defined “Downtown Lodi”, the winery requested an amendment to the section of the MOU that defines “Downtown Lodi”to reflect the expanded Downtown Specific Plan area. This allows the tasting room to remain compliant while maintaining all other requirements as outlined in the original MOU.

Hello Luis,
Michael David Winery currently has an agreement with the City of Lodi to maintain a downtown tasting room in exchange for discounted wastewater disposal rates. We entered into this agreement nearly 20 years ago and would appreciate the opportunity to continue the partnership moving forward.

Due to the current state of the wine industry and a significant increase in rent at our existing location, we have decided to relocate our downtown tasting room to 21 E. Elm St., Lodi, CA 95240.

Within the current agreement, Section 1.a defines the boundaries of “Downtown Lodi.” We are respectfully requesting an amendment to this section to reflect the updated Downtown Lodi boundary map, which now includes our new location at the corner of Elm Street and Main Street.

With this amendment, and while continuing to meet all other requirements outlined in the agreement, we would like to maintain our existing agreement with the City of Lodi.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Jacob Woodworth

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt a Resolution Approving and Accepting Lodi Electric Utility 2026 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (EU) MEETING DATE:

June 17, 2026
PREPARED BY:

Hasan Shahriar, Engineering & Operations Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution approving and accepting the Lodi Electric Utility 2026 Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In September 2018, the State of California enacted Senate Bill (SB) 901, requiring municipal electric utilities to create a Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) and submit it to the State by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter.

The intent of this submittal is to meet the annual regulatory requirement.

Staff developed Lodi Electric Utility’s (LEU) first WMP in 2019. The WMP was audited by a City Council authorized and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved independent third-party auditor. City Council subsequently approved LEU’sfirst WMP by Resolution 2019-247. As required by SB 901, LEU staff then provided updates to Council annually thereafter.

Staff has now completed its 2026 update to the WMP, incorporating the most recent information on staffing levels, infrastructure status, vegetation management progress, wire-down metrics and other statistics and information collected in the past year. LEU's operational history aligns with typical urban utility operations, with its location in a low wildfire risk region further mitigating potential threats. Situated entirely within CPUC's lowest fire-threat risk-tier, LEU reports zero utility caused fire ignitions in Fiscal Year 2025/26.

In addition, LEU contracted with DUDEK in 2025 to perform an independent third-party evaluation of the WMP to specifically assess whether LEU’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) procedure was compliant with regulations and aligned with industry best practices. DUDEK concluded that LEU’sWMP and PSPS processes were compliant. As a proactive measure, LEU has recently completed a majority of work to underground a significant portion of overhead lines at the Lodi Lake Wilderness Area. This initiative will significantly reduce fire ignition risk from downed power lines in this area.

LEU hereby respectfully submits the 2026 WMP update to City Council for approval and acceptance.

Following the passage of SB 254, which took effect September 2025, the update frequency requirement for WMPs for low risk publicly owned electric utilities was changed to once every four years. Therefore, LEU’s next WMP update will become due in 2030.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs associated with wildfire mitigation activities are included as part of LEU’s annual approved budget.

70 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 5
I. OVERVIEW
A. POLICY STATEMENT
Lodi Electric Utility’s (LEU’s) overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economic electric service to its local community. In order to meet this goal, LEU strives to construct, maintain, and operate its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

LEU is a department within the City of Lodi. As a public entity whose service territory is contained entirely within the City limits, LEU’s interests are entirely aligned with the City’s and the population we serve; we have no fiduciary obligation to any shareholders taking precedence over our customer-residents, nor any other priorities greater than Lodi’s. LEU is singularly focused on serving Lodi, to the greatest extent possible. Lodi’s wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts are thus benefited by Lodi’s organizational structure and focus.

B. PURPOSE OF THE WILDF IRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan describes the range of activities that LEU is taking to protect LEU infrastructure from wildfire impacts and to mitigate the threat of power-line ignited wildfires, including its various programs, policies, and procedures. This plan is subject to direct supervision by Lodi’s City Council and is implemented by the Electric Utility Director. This plan complies with the requirements of Public Utilities Code section 8387 for publicly owned electric utilities to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter.

This Wildfire Mitigation Plan describes the safety-related measures that LEU follows to reduce its risk of causing wildfires.

C. BACKGROUND
LEU has provided Electric Service to the City of Lodi for over 110 years with n o known history of causing any widespread fire, nor suffering a widespread and prolonged outage due to any fire.

While no utility is fully immune to fire, LEU’s history of outages and fire is consistent with operating a utility in an urban area.

D. OVERALL RISK PROFILE
Wildfire risk is greatly reduced by LEU’s topography, setting, and urbanization. LEU is located in a region of the state with a very low wildfire risk. LEU is entirely situated within the California Public 71 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 6
Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) lowest fire-threat risk-tier (Tier-1) with no part of LEU’s service territory in or near the High Fire Threat District designed in the CPUC’s Fire Threat Map1. Lodi Electric’s service territory is predominantly categorized as either “non-fuel” or “moderate” in the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s (CALFIRE) Fire and Resource Assessmen t Program (FRAP) Fire Threat Map2. The area that is categorized as “moderate” is only approximately 2% of LEU’s service territory primarily along the Mokelumne river. Cal Fire also provides the following statement with regard to the Local Responsibility Area for the County of San Joaquin, which LEU’s Service Territory is entirely within, “Update, 6/2008: CAL FIRE has determined that this county has no Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in LRA. Therefore [San Joaquin] county will not have a map of recommended VHFHSZ in LRA”

3. Based on a review of local conditions and
historical fires, Lodi Electric has determined that its electrical lines and equipment do not pose a significant risk of catastrophic wildfire.

LEU’s territory is flat, lacking any mountains, valleys, and similar hard to access locations. The City of Lodi’s General Plan describes LEU’s service territory as, “…not characterized by substantial areas of wildlands. The topography of the area is relatively homogenous and steep slopes that could contribute to wildland fires are not common. Data provided by the California Department of Conservation Fire and Resource Assessment Program in 2007 indicate that no portions of the [City’s] Planning Area are classified as having a “High” or “Very High” risk.” LEU is bordered on the northern edge by the Mokelumne River. LEU is further benefited by advantageous land use in the surrounding area. In contrast with utilities traversing through large wilderness areas with decades of dry fuel accumulation, LEU is surrounded by miles of actively managed grape vineyards. Grape vineyards, with their open-space, moisture content, and active management, are frequently considered a very good firebreak, "The fire just came up to the edge of the vineyard and stopped."
4 Further, much of LEU’s underground circuitry exists on the perimeter of LEU’s service territory, and functions as a buffer between LEU’s overhead infrastructure and the unimproved land abutting LEU’s service territory.

LEU’s Service Territory is limited to a dense urban footprint (approximately 13.7 square miles of land). With an estimated population of more than 68,000; this results in a density of ~5,000 persons per square mile of LEU service-territory; this density is advantages to the Utility as it provides tremendous visibility on LEU’s infrastructure and any problems which arise. Problems within LEU’s territory are therefore generally discovered very quickly. LEU’s compact territory also allows LEU personnel to reach nearly every utility asset within a 10 -minute drive from its headquarters. The high visibility and close proximity therefore generally result in quick discovery and quick addressing of problems. This is in stark contrast with utilities having thousands of miles of line traversing inaccessible areas of California’s dry forests, far from urban areas, lacking any

meaningful public visibility, and with potentially great travel distances required for the Utility and fire-fighting resources in responding to a problem.

As detailed extensively in the plan below, Lodi is also well-positioned with impressive water resources and fire-fighting capabilities, making for another stark contrast with utilities traversing sparse wilderness areas.

Despite LEU’s low-risk profile, LEU takes appropriate actions to help its region prevent and respond to the increasing risk of wildfires. In its role as a public agency, LEU closely coordinates with other local safety and emergency officials to help protect against fires and respond to emergencies. LEU follows applicable design, construction, operation, and maintenance requirements that reduce safety risks associated with its system.

Version 7
June 17, 2026 8

E. ORGANIZATION OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan includes the following elements:
• Objectives of the plan;
• Roles and responsibilities for carrying out the plan; • Identification of key wildfire risks and risk drivers; • Description of wildfire prevention, mitigation, and response strategies and programs; • Community outreach and education;
• Metrics for evaluating the performance of the plan and identifying areas for improvement; and
• Review and validation of the plan.

II. OBJECTIVES OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PL AN
The primary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to describe LEU’s programs, practices, and measures in-place, which effectively reduce the probability that LEU’s electric supply system could be the origin or contributing source for the ignition of a wildfire; and in doing the aforementioned, comply with CA PUC Section 8387 and CA SB-901 2018 and its underlying goal to operate the electric-system safely when in high wildfire risk conditions. To support this goal, LEU regularly evaluates the prudent and cost-effective improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training that can help reduce the risk of equipment-related fires.

The secondary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid.

As part this plan, LEU continues to assess and implement new industry practices and technologies that reduce the likelihood of an interruption (frequency) in service, improve the restoration (duration) of service, and increase public safety during high wildfire risk conditions.

III. ROLES AND RESPONSIBI LITIES
A. UTILITY GOVERNANCE S TRUCTURE

City of Lodi Organization Chart (Excerpt, As Relevant to Wildfire Mitigation)

LEU’s governance begins with the citizens of Lodi electing a City Council. The City Council appoints a city manager who in turn hires directors and chiefs to run the various departments and utilities within the City’s auspices.

A key difference between LEU and Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) is that LEU is publicly owned and overseen by the very community it serves; LEU has no shareholders and is not-for-profit.

Other City departments contribute greatly to wildfire prevention efforts. Lodi’s Fire Department conducts various forms of community outreach and has historically worked with Lodi’s Parks & Recreation Department to conduct annual inspections of trees and vegetation in certain within certain properties controlled by the City, with the goal of identifying and removing fire -fuels such as dead trees or underbrush which may have accumulated.

C. WILDFIRE RESPONSE AN D RECOVERY
LEU is available to its customers 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year.

During a wildfire or other public safety event, LEU’s operations center has the ability to dispatch personnel to aide as needed around the clock. In the event that an incident requires more personnel than LEU has on hand, LEU has mutual-aid agreements in place and available to provide nearly unlimited line-worker resources.

LEU staff has the following obligations regarding fire prevention, response, and investigation:
• Operate the electrical system in a manner that will minimize potential wildfire risks. • Take all reasonable and practicable actions to minimize the risk of a catastrophic wildfire caused by LEU’s electric facilities.
• Coordinate with federal, state, and local fire management personnel as necessary or appropriate to implement LEU’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan. • Immediately report fires, pursuant to existing POU practices and the requirements of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
• Take corrective action when the staff witnesses or is notified that fire protection measures have not been properly installed or maintained.
• Comply with relevant federal, state, and industry standard requirements, including the industry standards established by the California Public Utilities Commission. • Collect and maintain wildfire data necessary for the implementation of this Wild fire Mitigation Plan.
• Provide suitable training programs for all employees having obligations for implementation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

The City has established and positioned numerous public safety and water-utility resources, available to assist in combating wildfires and assisting with other public safety events and emergencies.

Fire Department staffing fluctuates from time-to-time, but has budgeted approximately 54 personnel, including 48 line staff.

The Insurance Services Office (ISO) measures the effectiveness of fire-mitigation services in fire protection areas throughout the country

5. The ISO assigns each area a Public Protection
Classification (PPC) rating between one and ten (where one is the best, and ten is the worst). As of May 2019, Lodi has the nearly highest ISO PPC rating of two. The Lodi Fire Department’s high

Unlike many volunteer fire departments, Lodi’s Fire Department is staffed with professional firefighters 24/7/365 and maintains a constant high-level of readiness.” As of 8/7/2019, the department met the self-imposed National Fire Protection Association’s response time criteria of 6 minutes for 90% of all calls.7
As of 2026, the City operated 28 groundwater wells providing a total pumping capacity of 37,910 gallons per minute8,9 in addition to a Surface Water Treatment Plant, which currently has a capacity of 10-million gallons per day10,11. The 28 wells are computer controlled and “operate automatically on pressure demand, so that when water use increases, more wells are started ”12. “Seven wells are fitted with emergency diesel powered generators. (….will help maintain water pressure during power outages….)”13 The City has 5 million gallons of water storage, spread across different tanks14. During peak-season (roughly coinciding with high-heat and fire-season), the City’s Water Utility’s operating practice is to maintain its massive storage reserves at a nearly - full capacity.

“The City of Lodi owns and operates 28 emergency standby generator sets that range in size between six kilowatt (kW) to 2,000kW. The generators are located at critical facilities where operation during an extended power outage is necessary to maintain public health and/or safety. Examples of these facilities include fire stations, water wells, the Surface Water Treatment Plant, sanitary lift stations, White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF), the police station, and Lodi Public Library.”15 The Library will also serve as a community resource center during a de-energization event.

The City has also undertaken replacement projects to upsize two and three inch water mains, to larger sizes, capable of providing more flows during fires. 16 Additionally, Lodi’s Fire Department
has the ability to pump water from the Mokelumne River -- a nearly unlimited fire-water resource on the northern edge of town. Lodi’s Fire Department also has access to wide -area mutual-aid resources, able to provide yet more water tenders and substantial additional fire-fighting resources.

Police Department staffing fluctuates from time-to-time, but has budgeted approximately 100 full-time employees, comprised of 73 sworn officers, 27 support staff, and various additional volunteers.”17

“The City has adopted the San Joaquin County Hazard Mitigation Plan . This plan identifies measures to reduce the impacts of natural and manmade hazards and to facilitate the recovery and repair of structures if damage should occur from hazardous events.” 18 “The City provides street standards for all street types, thus ensuring appropriate standards for emergency access and evacuation.”19
D. COORDINATION WITH WATER UTILIT Y AND PUBLIC SAFETY
Lodi’s Fire Department, Lodi’s Public Works (including the Water Utility), and Lodi’s Electric Utility, are all departments within the same organization. This unified structure results in frequent contact and communication between the departments on many fronts and topics, and a beneficial familiarity in working together. Lodi’s Fire Department, (generally by way of its 24-hour Fire Dispatch), is well-versed in requesting assistance from LEU during emergencies. Fire Dispatch requests LEU’s assistance for every structure fire; for all other fires (e.g. vehicle fires) LEU assistance is always available, with utilization determined on a case-by-case basis by the event’s Incident Commander. Examples of LEU assistance include, to de-energize lines for fire and rescue operations, and to assess the hazards when overhead lines are on the ground (such as due to

car accidents). While Lodi’s Police Department requests assistance from LEU less often, the same communication channels and access exist and are available.

The Water Utility’s infrastructure is designed to automatically increase pressure and water-supply to the areas of the system where it’s needed, 24 hours per day, without any human involvement required. In the rare event that an unusually large or prolonged event requires more water than is normally possible, Lodi’s Water Utility staff are available 24 hours per day; Lodi’s Fire Department is able to notify the Water Utility of any unusual need. Upon such notification, the Water Utility has some additional ability to manually increase supply and pressure , and allocate more water to certain parts of town.

E. COORDINATION WITH COMMUNICATION INFRAS TRUCTURE

PROVIDERS
In the event of a disaster, Lodi has various different communication channels available for notifying and messaging the public.
• Lodi has access to the County of San Joaquin’s emergency alert system – able to interrupt radio and television programming to provide an emergency message. • The County of San Joaquin also has a cell-phone triangulation system, able to message cell phones within a user-definable region. This system is available to Lodi for emergency use.
• Lodi has the ability to broadcast a message onto the AM spectrum. • Lodi Unified School District has public-messaging capabilities available to the City. • Lodi recently implemented a reverse-911 system, whereby emergency personnel can send an emergency notification message to area cell-phones, land-lines, and VOIP phones.
• LEU also provides notifications on our website www.lodielectric.com • LEU has recently implemented an Outage Management System (OMS) and an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, for outage dispatch and notification purposes.

F. STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As a local governmental agency,20 the City of Lodi has planning, communication, and coordination obligations pursuant to the California Office of Emergency Services’ Standardized Emergency Management System (“SEMS”) Regulations,
21 adopted in accordance with
Government Code section 8607. The SEMS Regulations specify roles, responsibilities, and structures of communications at five different levels: field response, local government, operational area, regional, and state.22 Pursuant to this structure, the City of Lodi annually

20 As defined in Cal. Gov. Code § 8680.2.
21 19 CCR § 2407.
22 Cal. Gov. Code § 2403(b):
(1) “Field response level” commands emergency response personnel and resources to carry out tactical decisions and activities in direct response to an incident or threat. 80 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 15
coordinates and communicates with the relevant safety agencies as well as other relevant local and state agencies.

Under the SEMS structure, a significant amount of preparation is done through advanced planning at the county level, including the coordination of effort of public, private, and nonprofit organizations. San Joaquin County serves as the Operational Area; Lodi’s representation includes the City of Lodi’s Fire Chief. The Operational Area includes local and regional organizations that bring relevant expertise to the wildfire prevention and recovery planning process.

Pursuant to the SEMS structure, City of Lodi representatives participate in regular meetings (typically monthly) and various simulation exercises (typically yearly), wherein various disaster s (e.g. flood, earthquake, fire, etc.) are simulated.

LEU is a member of the California Utility Emergency Association, which plays a key role in ensuring communications between utilities during emergencies. LEU also participate in the Western Energy Institute’s Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement, which is a mutual assistance agreement covering utilities across a number of western states.

IV. WILDFIRE RISKS AND DRIVERS
A. PARTICULAR RISKS AND RISK DRIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH

TOPOGRAPHIC AND C LIMATOLOGICAL RISK FACTORS
Within LEU’s service territory and the surrounding areas, the primary risk drivers for wildfire are the following:
• Extended drought

(2) “Local government level” manages and coordinates the overall emergency response and recovery activities within their jurisdiction.
(3) “Operational area level” manages and/or coordinates information, resources, and priorities among local governments within the operational area and serves as the coordination and communication link between the local government level and the regional level. (4) “Regional level” manages and coordinates information and resources among operational areas within the mutual aid region designated pursuant to Government Code §8600 and between the operational areas and the state level. This level along with the state level coordinates overall state agency support for emergency response activities. (5) “State level” manages state resources in response to the emergency needs of the other levels, manages and coordinates mutual aid among the mutual aid regions and between the regional level and state level, and serves as the coordination and communication link with the federal disaster response system.
81 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 16
• High winds
• Low humidity
Specific risks from these risk-drivers include increased vegetation mortality, contributing dry-fuels to the region, as well as deceased vegetation in its weakened-state potentially falling into energized lines during high-wind events. As mentioned in this plan, in contrast with the vegetation encountered by utilities traversing vast stretches of the California wilderness, the vegetation within LEU’s territory is much healthier, limited, less-dense, and managed, consistent with that of an urban/suburban utility; further the land-use surrounding LEU is overwhelmingly actively-managed grape vineyards extending for miles in every direction.

LEU is unable to identify any direct risks of catastrophic wildfire in LEU’s service territory in connection with “dynamic climate change” risks. Indirect risks to LEU’s territory include the possible reduction of local Fire Department resources at times of mutual-aid deployments including combatting wildfires in State Responsibility Areas (a 12/12/2017 News Release by Cal Fire, US Forest Service and the Tree Mortality Task Force reports 129 Million dead-trees in California, predominantly in the Sierra Nevada region of the state).

B. PARTICULAR RISKS AND RISK DRIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH DESIGN,

CONSTRUCITON, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE
Within Lodi Electric Utility’s (LEU) electric distribution system, the primary risk drivers for fire ignition are:
• Tree limb contact with energized conductors
• Pole failure resulting in downed energized lines
Although the City of Lodi is predominantly urban, street and backyard trees are present throughout the service territory and are located in close proximity to LEU’s overhead distribution lines. While the area is not designated as a high wind zone, occasional winter storms can bring moderate to high winds. These events are typically accompanied by rainfall, which reduc es the likelihood of fire ignition due to increased ground moisture and lower ambient fire risk.

LEU operates and maintains over 6,000 distribution poles. Pole failures can occur during storm events, particularly if the pole is structurally compromised due to decay or age. Additionally, poles that are overloaded with equipment (such as transformers, switches, or communications hardware) may be more prone to structural failure over time, potentially resulting in downed conductors. If such conductors remain energized and come into contact with dry combustible materials, there is a potential—albeit low under typical local weather conditions —for fire ignition.

C. ENTERPRISEWIDE SAFET Y RISKS
Fire risks due to drought and windy conditions are low within LEU’s service territory. Lodi is a well- developed urban area with over 50 percent underground high voltage circuitry. In consultation 82 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 17
with numerous experts and stakeholders, the CPUC created and adopted a statewide fire threat map to delineate the boundaries to identify, evaluate and potentially adopt stricter fire -safety regulations that apply to overhead power lines, electric equipment, and communications lines located within those boundaries. Drawing on the immense collective expertise responsible for the creation of the CPUC’s map, LEU’s methodology was to overlay LEU’s service territory and overhead transmission lines coming into the City of Lodi onto the fire threat map and therein identify potential areas of concern. LEU’s service territory and transmission all lines fall under the category of Tier-1 (i.e. low risk). The description of tiered fire threat zones are shown in Table-1 and the overlay of LEU’s service territory over the CPUC fire threat map is shown as Exhibit-1 below.

Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) has adopted a proactive and comprehensive approach to vegetation management. In light of the numerous wildfires that affected California between 2015 and 2024—many of which were attributed to contact between power lines and vegetation—LEU considers vegetation management to be one of the most effective strategies for reducing wildfire risk. For a detailed overview of LEU’s vegetation management practices, please refer to Section V(D) of this document.

In addition to vegetation management, LEU has allocated $300,000 in its Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget to underground a section of distribution line adjacent to the Lodi Lake Nature Preserve, located in the northern area of the city. Upon completion of this initial phase—expected by the end of next year—LEU plans to allocate further funding to underground the remaining overhead lines in the Lodi Lake Nature Preserve area.

To prevent overloading of poles during replacement activities, LEU employs O-Calc, a structural analysis software, to model proposed pole installations and verify that the structural load requirements are met. Furthermore, LEU has recently acquired Resistograph machines and deployed them to field crews to perform intrusive pole inspections, enabling detection of internal decay and compromised structural integrity. LEU has established a goal to conduct intrusive inspections on 10% of poles annually within its service territory.

Table – 1
Description of tiered fire threat zones
Zone Category Description
Tier 3 Extreme
Wildland areas where exposure to overhead power lines, the availability of water resources, and emergency responder circulation routes affect response times to combat wildland fires.

Tier 2 Elevated Elevated risk due to vegetation, high voltage regional transmission lines crossing the area, and adjacency to Tier 3 fire threat zones.

Tier 1 Low Well-developed areas, typically with underground high voltage circuitry.

D. CHANGES TO CPUC FIRE THREAT MAP
Currently LEU does not propose any changes to the borders of the High Fire Threat District boundaries as indicated in CPUC’s fire threat map (adopted by the CPUC January 19, 2018).

V. WILDFIRE PREVENTATIVE STRATEGIES
A. HIGH FIRE THREAT DISTRICT
LEU, as a member of California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), participated in the development of the CPUC’s fire-threat map which designates a high-fire threat district. In the map development process, LEU served as a territory lead, and worked with utility staff and local 84 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 19
fire and government officials to identify the areas of LEU’s service territory that are at an elevated or extreme risk of power line ignited wildfire. It was determined that LEU’s service territory and 60 kV transmission lines leading into the service territory are located outsid e of the high fire threat district as designated by the CPUC Fire-Threat Map.

LEU’s efforts to improve this plan and achieve its goals are ongoing, including its efforts to identify existing and emerging fire threats and validate the characterization of LEU’s service territory. LEU will continue to review any new information, and any future updates in the CPUC’s Fire-Threat Maps, and revisit the above assessment as necessary.

B. WEATHER MONITORING
LEU monitors current and forecasted weather data from a variety of sources including:
• LEU’s in-house weather station
• United States National Weather Service
• “PG&E Weather Awareness” website23 (an aggregation of regional PSPS, wind, temperature, Red-Flag and other information)
• “PG&E PSPS Maps” website24
• National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS)

C. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
LEU’s electric facilities are designed and constructed per the City of Lodi’s Electric Overhead Construction Standards to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standar ds. LEU treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction of overhead electrical facilities. LEU meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. Additionally, LEU monitors and follows as appropriate the National Electric Safety Code.

Additional wildfire-mitigating design and construction standards LEU employs include:
• LEU stocks a wide range of covered-wires for use as jumpers and lead-wires

• LEU has specified all overhead transformers and capacitors to have bushing covers pre - installed. In targeting the locations where distance between energized medium-voltage phases are in their closest proximity to each other (or ground potential), the combination of bushing covers and covered leads greatly reduces the ability for wildlife, foliage, balloons or other foreign objects to make contact with energized parts and potentially ignite a fire

85 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 20
• All new distribution pad-mount transformers and switches have their medium-voltage interfaces specified as dead-front. In contrast with live-front equipment, dead-front equipment reduces the possibility of an unintended object making contact with energized components and igniting a fire. Examples include: wildlife (snakes, burrowing - rodents, etc.), a dropped-tool or a piece of foliage or debris which blows-in while the cabinet is energized and open for servicing.

• LEU recently introduced natural ester oil (Envirotemp/FR3) into its specifications for oil- filled distribution transformers and switches. “Envirotemp FR3 fluid has exceptionally high fire and flash points of 360°C and 330°C, respectively - the highest ignition resistance of any high fire point dielectric fluid currently available. It qualifies as a “high fire point”, “less flammable”, “IEC Class K”, and “non-propagating” fluid. FR3 fluid is FM Global Approved and Underwriters Laboratories Classified as a Less-Flammable Dielectric Liquid.

FR3 fluid possesses a 100% fire safety record, and is an ideal choice for transformers positioned indoors, underground, and in close proximity to buildings and other equipment”
25 • New subdivisions and large commercial customers are connected by extending underground facilities, limiting the creation of additional overhead exposure 26

• LEU aggressively pursued the removal of aged small-diameter overhead copper primary- voltage conductor (specifically, #6CU solid), and replaced it with larger diameter, stranded conductor with a steel core. This will provide greater safety, reliability and minimize lines-down events and in turn, fires associated with them. Following data-points are indicative of LEU’s efforts:

The radial clearances shown below are recommended minimum clearances that should be established, at time of trimming, between the vegetation and the energized conductors and associated live parts where practicable. Reasonable vegetation management practices may make it advantageous for the purposes of public safety or service reliability to obtain greater clearances than those listed below to ensure compliance until the next scheduled maintenance. Each utility may determine and apply additional appropriate clearances beyond clearances listed below, which take into consideration various factors, including:
line operating voltage, length of span, line sag, planned maintenance cycles, location of vegetation within the span, species type, experience with particular species, vegetation growth rate and characteristics, vegetation management standards and best practices, local climate, elevation, fire risk, and vegetation trimming requirements that are applicable to State Responsibility Area lands pursuant to Public Resource Code Sections 4102 and 4293.

LEU has taken an aggressive approach to vegetation management. As many of the fires which ravaged the state from 2015-2022 appear to have included contact between power lines and 87 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 22
vegetation, LEU believes that vegetation management is one of the most effective methods to avoid wildfires.
• LEU has greatly increased its vegetation management efforts in recent years, resulting in more frequent visits to more locations and better clearances from lines. Between July 1, 2025 and May 15, 2026; a total of 2,641 trees were trimmed or removed. • Despite the increased cost of doing so, LEU often pursues tree-removals instead of trimming; this is particularly beneficial for faster growing species which require more frequent return visits. LEU has setup a program to provide customers who undergo tree removal, with complimentary starter trees, which will better co-exist in the vicinity of power lines.
• LEU’s typical practice for trimming exceeds GO-95 Table-1, as well as the recommendations in GO-95 Appendix-E Case-13. LEU’s standard practice in trimming is to provide a minimum five-foot clear zone area around all secondary-voltage overhead infrastructure, a minimum ten-foot clear zone around all primary-voltage overhead infrastructure, and a minimum 15-foot clear zone around all sub-transmission and transmission overhead infrastructure. In instances including when our arborists believe that this high degree of trimming may kill a tree, they will occasionally reduce these large clearances while still complying with GO-95’s proscribed values.

While LEU’s typical-practices already greatly exceed the state’s GO-95 requirements, LEU will at times trim vegetation even further for various reasons including arboricultural best practices, matching prior trimming cuts, aesthetics, or customer request.

Additional features of LEU’s tree trimming program:
• Prioritization given to dense-vegetation areas.
• Consideration for vegetation-species, when determining prioritization. • When LEU encounters fast-growing or invasive species beneath overhead power lines, subject to permission from tree’s owner, LEU will undertake complete removal in lieu of trimming.
• If LEU can anticipate an imminent seasonal growth spurt, LEU will generally trim deciduous trees beyond LEU’s typical amounts.
88 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 23
• LEU averages two dedicated tree crews throughout the year; LEU’s tree contractor has over 900 employees27, and offers the ability to greatly scale-up the number of crews on a job-by-job basis should a particular job need additional crews and resources. • LEU’s contractor can provide cranes, as needed.
• Every tree in proximity of electric infrastructure will be visited every 18-24-months, some even more frequently.
• LEU has surveyed trees in its service territory and collected a detailed tree inventory of all trees in proximity to power lines, collecting: species, height, GPS coordinates, imagery, health, condition, and trimming priority.
• While customer-initiation is not required, customers with concerns can submit a request to have their vegetation situation reviewed. Customer-initiated requests are visited for assessment purposes within 48-hours, and frequently as fast as same-day. • Minimization of fuel-accumulation by removal of trimmings and resulting wood byproducts (with rare exceptions for property owners requesting to maintain possession).

LEU’s urban service territory is again distinguished from utilities having lines traversin g vast, isolated, rural lands and dry wild forests. The fuel-loading underneath LEU’s assets is consistent with the health, levels and species of vegetation found in other urban/suburban setting s. Nearly all vegetation in the vicinity of LEU’s lines and Rights-of-Way belongs to private parties or the City of Lodi. These parties bear the responsibility for the removal of any accumulation of fuels (e.g. fallen logs, dead shrubbery) on their respective properties. LEU believes that the vegetation- owning parties within its territory succeed at removing accumulated fuels at a level vastly exceeding what is seen in California’s wildland areas.

E. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE A ND INSPECTIONS
Periodic patrols and inspections provide the opportunity of identifying and remedying certain anomalous conditions prior to realization of any harm, possibly including wildfire.

LEU meets or exceeds the minimum inspection cycles provided in CPUC GO 165 and CPUC GO 95, Rule 18. Additionally, LEU staff uses their knowledge of the specific environmental and geographical conditions to determine when certain areas require more frequent inspections.

F. RECLOSING POLICY
In contrast with the majority of electric utilities in California, prior to 11/2021, LEU did not have any traditional reclosers deployed downstream of LEU’s substations.

In 11/2021 LEU completed installation of a single, new type of non-spark emitting protection device with limited reclosing functionality. This single trial-device was located immediately behind sidewalk deep within our urban setting, positioned upstream of a circuit -branch, monitoring various short downstream line-lengths, with trivial vegetation exposure nearly all of which is within residential private property. This device replaces a traditional spark -emitting fuse that was formerly at this location, and under standard operation this trial device should never emit sparks to the ground below. This device is designed to minimize and contain outages on the lines it monitors downstream, and prevent impacts from spilling-over and affecting other customers on the circuit. The areas downstream are unlikely to get draped with windblown vegetation due to urban environment. Prior to the installation of this device, fusing limitations would have resulted in certain mis-coordinations in the protection scheme, and created circuit- level outages affecting substantially more customers. One of the critical customers downstream of this device is a large school. The Utility’s belief is that the installation of this device will provide a net benefit to life-safety by increasing the uptime to this critical customer and in minimizing the downtime to others in the wider area.

In 2025, LEU installed two additional reclosers on two circuits that are connected to the same industrial customer. The area surrounding and downline of the reclosers are highly unlikely to contact with persistent vegetation due to urban environment.

Power outages create serious adverse impacts to life-safety (find examples in Section-V(G) De- Energization), these impacts increase as outages are extended. Nationwide, momentary-faults account for greater than 70-80% of all faults

28. Policies which disable reclosing functionality,
unnecessarily extend what would otherwise be momentary and self-clearing faults and outages, and consequently, increase the adverse life-safety impacts of an outage. Further, undertaking such actions based largely upon weather predictions of unknown accuracy, carries the risk of doing so unnecessarily.

The concept of disabling reclosing is predicated on the assumption that a small limited number of subsequent line-tests could possibly cause a problem not caused by the initial incident. In most situations (momentary self-clearing faults, urban lines not at risk of starting fires) there is no harm caused by successive tests, and no safety benefit gained by disabling reclosing , while there is potential harm caused by not re-powering lines to critical customers.

It is LEU’s goal to reduce outages both in count and duration. In determining a policy for reclosing, LEU has considered its three non-traditional field-reclosers, its unique and low-risk urban setting and its beneficial service-territory specifics; LEU has additionally considered the large- scale adverse customer impacts arising from disabling reclosing at the substation -level. In

28 Cooper Power Systems, Electrical Distribution System Protection, P.7 91 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 26
consideration of the above, LEU finds that the public-interest is better served by not disabling reclosing functionality as a wildfire precautionary measure, and that doing -so would yield hard- to-identify benefits to wildfire reduction in LEU’s territory.

G. DE-ENERGIZATION
When evaluating minimum fire potential conditions, the following thresholds will be considered:

1. Sustained Wind Speed: Above 19 miles per hour for 30 minutes continuously.

2. Relative Humidity (RH): Below 30 percent.

Evaluation Process:

If both of the above criteria are met, the Electric Distribution Operator is required to follow the steps outlined below:

1. Consultation: The Electric Distribution Operator will promptly consult with the Electric Utility Director and the Lodi Fire Department (LFD). This consultation is crucial for assessing the potential risk and determining appropriate actions.

2. Identification of Affected Section:

Upon consultation, the relevant stakeholders will collectively identify the specific section of the distribution line that poses a risk and requires de-energization for public safety.

3. Communication with Affected Customers:

Utilizing the Outage Management System (OMS), the Distribution Operator will send advanced text messages to customers in the affected area. These messages will aim to provide a 30 - minute advance notice to prepare for the impending de-energization.

4. Field Crew Dispatch:

Following the communication with affected customers, the Distribution Operator will promptly dispatch field crew members to de-energize the identified section of the electric line.

5. Coordination for Citizen Welfare:

The Electric Utility (EU) Director, in collaboration with the City Manager, will coordinate efforts to identify a suitable shelter for citizens with medical needs who will be impacted by the de - energization. This ensures that vulnerable individuals receive necessary support and assistance during the outage.

By adhering to this procedure, the Electric Distribution Operator, Electric Utility Director, and relevant stakeholders can effectively mitigate risks associated with minimum fire potential conditions while prioritizing public safety and welfare. 92 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 27
VI. COMMUNITY OUTREACH A ND PUBLIC AWARENESS
LEU presented the draft version of this plan to the Lodi City Council and the public during the October 15, 2019 Council meeting and the final version of the inaugural plan at the November 20, 2019 Council meeting. In addition to having provided continuous public access to this document on LEU’s homepage, LEU provided an annual revision to the Lodi City Council in 12/2020 and has continue to do so annually. Following the passage of SB254, which came into effect in September, 2025, the update frequency requirement for WMPs for low risk publicly owned electric utilities was changed to once every four years. LEU’s next WMP update will become due in 2030. As detailed further in Section IX, LEU contracted with an independent third party to perform an audit of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The audit findings were presented to the Lodi City Council at a public meeting, giving the general public an opportunity to provide comments. LEU also posted the plan and auditor’s findings on LEU’s website www.lodielectric.com
and made both available for public review and comment.

VII. RESTORATION OF SERVICE
LEU has an Electric Emergency Plan (EEP) which governs the order in which loads are restored to service. The EEP shows the order in which circuits are to be brought up following a city -wide blackout. Vital loads are restored first followed by non-vital loads. In the event of a partial outage, circuits will be brought back as conditions permit in the order of priority listed in the EEP.

In the case of wildfires involving lines and other utility assets and resulting in outages, once conditions have been made safe to do so, LEU will visually inspect every involved asset looking for visual damage and any hazards potentially remaining. Patrols will be conducted using a combination of human resources (both internal and depending on the scale, mutual aid resources) and may involve certain technology (possibly including drones, binoculars, etc.) prior to reenergizing circuits.

VIII. EVALUAT ION OF THE PLAN
A. METRICS AND ASSUMPTI ONS FOR MEASURING PL AN PERFORMANCE LEU will track four metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan: (1) number of fire ignitions; (2) wires down within the service territory; (3) inspection-cycle completion; and (4) vegetation-management cycle completion.

Assumptions underlying the use of these metrics: As catastrophic wildfires are a subset of all fires, tracking and reporting all fire ignitions (as defined in metric-1) will necessarily capture wildfires.

As wires-down events have the possibility of causing wildfires, tracking and reporting these 93 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 28
events (as defined in metric-2) will over-time reveal LEU’s success at minimizing their occurrence and in-turn fires caused by such events. As inspections provide the opportunity of remedying certain conditions prior to realization of any harm, the successful progression of inspections is important to capturing this opportunity.

Due to the non-aligning year-to-year dates for the annual meeting where this plan is presented, in 2021 LEU added the clarification that metric-reporting for this plan covers the period of November-1 (prior year) to October-31 (current year).

METRIC 1: FIRE IGNIT IONS
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
• An LEU facility was associated with the origin of the fire 29; • The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
• The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and • LEU has knowledge that the fire occurred.

In future Wildfire Mitigation Plans, LEU will provide the number of fires that occurred that were less than 10 acres in size. Any fires greater than 10 acres will be individually described.

Date Range
Count
11/1/2020 – 10/31/2021 LEU had one known incident of fire ignition meeting the above criteria30
11/1/2021 – 10/31/2022 LEU had two known incident of fire ignition meeting the above criteria31 32
11/1/2022 - 6/30/2023 LEU had zero known events meeting the above criteria 33 7/1/2023 - 6/30/2024 LEU had zero known events meeting the criteria 7/1/2024 - 6/30/2025 LEU had zero known events meeting the criteria 7/1/2025 - 5/15/2026 LEU had zero known events meeting the criteria33

29 Origin of the Fire distinguishes from fires of external origin e.g. a discarded cigarette butt, arson etc., which then spreads to involve utility facilities. This distinction is in keeping with the goal of identifying and minimizing utility-sources of fire, and not diluting the metric’s value with fires of unrelated origin. 30 Data per LEU Operations. This fire is believed to be the result of an overhead transformer malfunction in an urban location, resulting in a secondary-bushing failure which emitted sparks onto dry vegetation located on customer-maintained private property.
31 Data per LEU Operations. One of the fires is believed to be the result of an overhead transformer malfunction in an urban location, resulting in a secondary-bushing failure which emitted sparks onto dry vegetation located on customer-maintained private property. 32 At least one known fire grew to involve LEU assets (outage 57-20), however, the fire was started by a homeless person and was not utility-caused. This incident and possibly others, were not counted in this year’s metric, as their external origin did not meet the defined criteria, nor the intention of this metric. 33 Data per LEU Operations, 5/15/2026.
94 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 29
METRIC 2: WIRES DOWN
The second metric is the number of distribution and transmission wires downed within LEU ’s service territory. For purposes of this metric, a wires-down event includes any instance where an electric transmission or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or on to a foreign object.

LEU will not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms. Instead, LEU will supplement this metric with a qualitative description of any such unusual events.

Date Range Count
11/1/2020 – 10/31/2021 LEU had two events meeting this criteria 11/1/2021 – 10/31/2022 LEU had zero known events meeting this criteria 11/1/2022 - 6/30/2023 LEU had zero known events meeting this criteria 7/1/2023 - 6/30/2024 LEU had one event meeting this criteria 7/1/2024 - 6/30/2025 LEU had zero known events meeting this criteria 7/1/2025 - 5/15/2026 LEU had one event meeting this criteria34 METRIC 3: INSPECTION -CYCLE COMPLETION
The Third metric relates to the completion percentage of each system-inspection cycle. As discussed in Section V-D System Maintenance and Inspections, LEU practices the inspection cycles specified in GO-165. For Urban utilities, GO-165 provides a maximum detailed-inspection cycle of 5-years for overhead, underground and pad-mounted infrastructure.

LEU will at times shift resources to accelerate or prioritize one category of inspection over another for strategic purposes (while achieving all required inspection timelines); this has the result of making the completion percentages of the various cycles uneven .

METRIC 4: VEG ETATION -MANAGEMENT CY CLE COMPLETION
The Fourth metric relates to the completion percentage of each vegetation-management cycle. As discussed in Section V-D Vegetation Management, all vegetation within proximity of LEU assets is visited at a minimum every 18-24 months. LEU tracks the progress of this by dividing its service territory into sixty-six similarly sized grids, and focusing and containing vegetation- management efforts to service one grid at a time until that grid’s completion, before advancing to the next grid. While the amount of vegetation needing addressing in each grid is not exactly 96 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 31
equal, the metric of percent complete, serves a reasonable approximation for progress towards the stated goal.

To satisfy the above stated targets, LEU would normally complete vegetation management in approximately 50 – 66% of the system grids each year. In the 2020, however, LEU increased and accelerated its efforts on vegetation management; resulting in an increase in the number of vegetation crews and a substantial increase in utility-spend.

Date Range Percent of Grids Completed in Date Range
11/1/2020 – 10/31/2021 66%
11/1/2021 – 10/31/2022 66%

7/1/2023 - 6/30/2024 100%
7/1/2024 - 6/30/2025 100%
7/1/2025 - 5/15/2026 100%

B. IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
A discussion of how the application of previously identified metrics to previous plan performance has informed the plan, is required by SB-901. With LEU’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan having been in- place for a short-duration, metric gathering provides insufficient data points for trending and comparisons. LEU anticipates that as the data collection history becomes more robust, LEU may be able to identify areas of its operations and service territory that are disproportionately impacted and may be better positioned to evaluate potential improvements to the plan.

C. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
The inaugural version of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan was presented publicly to the Lodi City Council. LEU will present plan updates to the Lodi City Council on an annual basis. Additionally, a qualified independent evaluator has evaluated the plan and presented a report on their findings to the Lodi City Council.

The LEU Wildfire Mitigation Plan will be internally audited for completeness, effectiveness an d implementation annually by the Electric Utility Director, in preparation for the presentation to the Lodi City Council.

97 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 32
D. IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN
LEU’s Utility Director shall identify any deficiencies in the plan’s implementa tion and take appropriate action to remedy any issues found.

Additionally, the third-party auditor described in VIII.C will review the plan and provide feedback to LEU and the Lodi City Council. Findings from the above audits will be recorded and appropriate corrections to the Wildfire Mitigation Plan and supporting procedures and processes will be made.

E. MONITORING THE E FFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS
A key mitigation measure against wildfires in LEU’s service territory is vegetation management , (described in greater detail in section V-D, Vegetation Management). All vegetation program matters are overseen by LEU’s Electric Superintendent. LEU uses contract tree trimmers who audit the vegetation in need of management and maintain the proscribed clear-zones. LEU audits the contractors and conducts Quality Assurance as to their successful implementation of LEU’s requirements, by at times working directly with them, and also by conducting audits (approximately weekly) of their work.

In addition, LEU Staff performs system patrols and inspections (described further in section V-E, System Maintenance and Inspections) to identify system issues and deficiencies. The results of these patrols and the associated corrective action are prioritized based on their degree of safety-concern.

The findings of the above audits, together with any trending provided by the metrics tracked in VIII-A of this plan will provide evidence of the effectiveness of the LEU Wildfire Mitigation plan.

IX. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Public Utilities Code section 8387(c) required LEU to contract with a qualified independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure to review and assess the comprehensiveness of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The independent evaluator must issue a report which is posted to Lodi Electric Utility’s website and presented to the Lodi City Council at a public meeting.

LEU is a member of the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA). In 2025, LEU leveraged the expertise of NCPA in selecting and engaging an independent evaluator (Dudek) as required in PUC Section 8387(c). Dudek performed an audit of LEU’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan and was given the opportunity to audit the LEU processes as necessary to complete the audit. Following the completion of their audit, Dudek briefed relevant LEU staff and prepared a written report of its findings. In June of 2025, Dudek provided its Independent Evaluation report, which LEU made 98 Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 33
available to the public at the June 2025 Council meeting. Dudek concluded that Lodi’s WMP and PSPS processes were compliant to regulatory requirements.

I. WSAB GUIADANCE ADVIS ORY OPINION RECOMMEN DATIONS

The December 2020 California Wildfire Safety Advisory Board (WSAB) Publication, “Guidance Advisory Opinion for the 2021 Wildfire Mitigation Plans of Electric Publicly Owned Utilities and Cooperatives” identifies fourteen specific recommendations that POUs are requested to address in their future WMPs.

As specified in Public Utilities Code § 8387(b)(1), each POU is required to perform a comprehensive revision to the POU’s WMP at least once every three years. Pursuant to this guidance, the POUs will be updating their WMPs based on the direction of their local governing boards within this 3-year cycle. Because the WSAB’s recommendations have been provided after the initial WMP submission, the POUs will have varying capacities to fully address each recommendation in their subsequent WMP revision cycles.

102

Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 37
This section lists the WSAB’s recommendations. For each of these, LEU seeks to do one or more of the following:

(1) Provide a narrative response to the recommendation
(2) Provide a cross-reference to the section in this WMP where the topic is addressed (3) Describe why the recommendation is not applicable to LEU (4) Inform the WSAB of the POU’s intent to address the recommendation at the point of the POU’s next comprehensive revision.

WSAB Recommendation - 1: The Board requests that the WMP and Independent Evaluator Reports be prominently displayed and easily located on the POU websites. To assist the Board in its review, the WMP could also include an index or table that shows where each section of the statute is addressed in the WMP.

In the WMP update, the Board hopes to receive context-setting information at the beginning of each POU plan to help situate the Board’s general understanding about each POU and Cooperative’s risk profile in accordance with the statutory requirements. Public Utilities Code Section 8387(b)(2) details what risks are to be addressed including all wildfire risks, and drivers for those risks, throughout the service territory such as the utility’s grid configuration and condition, climate threat and geographic location. Without this information, the Board is unable to provide an individualized response to each filing. The goal would be to provide the unique utility context in the WMP document up front with the following information:

Size of the utility territory in square miles;  Asset identification including transmission, distribution, and generation;  Number of customers, which may differ from the number of city or county residents;  Types of customer classes served;  Location and topography including percentage urban, wildland, or wildland-urban interface;  Typical prevailing wind directions and speeds within the territory differentiated by season;  Territory maps with CPUC High Fire Threat Districts (HFTD) or California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Fir e and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) Fire Threat Zones (FTZ) overlaid with distribution and transmission assets, again, considering the limitations of Federal Infrastructure Protection Protocols;  Existing system hardening measures installed compared to non-hardened infrastructure such as 1) miles underground or overhead, 2) number of wooden, steel, or composite poles, 3) number of wooden, steel, fiberglass, or composite cross arms, and 4) miles of covered conductor;  Impact on the POU of another utility’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) or similar wildfire related de-energization events, existing measures to mitigate the other utility’s PSPS, and whether the POU expects to call its own PSPS, or engages in the de - energization of lines that are fire threatened. To simplify this requirement, the Board developed a template for its own review and asks that it be applied to the POU WMPs:

103

LEU Response: LEU’s WMP and Independent Evaluator Reports are prominently displayed and easily located on LEU’s website; they can also be found by conducting a web-search for “Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Plan.” To assist the Board in its review, the WMP also includes an index or table that shows where each section of the statute is addressed in the WMP. LEU has provided some context-setting and risk discussion unique to LEU’s territory, as well as the WSAB’s requested template. Please refer to Sec. I.D “Overall Risk Profile.”

WSAB Recommendation – 2: In the WMP update, the Board recommends utilities provide a paragraph describing the public review of the plan and how it is approved, if required. The Board requests additional data on monitoring and auditing and how that information is presented. A brief explanation on each POUs budget mechanism to be used to perform wildfire mitigation would also be helpful to the Board.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation – 3: In the future, the Board recommends IEs perform a robust evaluation of the contents and substance of the POUs WMP. The Board especially appreciates evaluations of how each POU compares to the IE’s assessment of industry standards.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 4: The 2021 POU WMPs and/or updates should be based on the guidelines. It would be helpful to create a revised template that reflects the learnings from the 2020 initial effort. To develop that template in a timely manner, the Board invites the municipal utility associations CMUA, the Southern California Public Power Association, the Northern California Power Agency, and the Golden State Power Cooperative, to work collaboratively with the WSAB to identify the utility groupings and develop a revised template for 2021. The Board appreciated the discussion with the municipal utility and cooperative associations at the workshop on November 18, 2020 and looks forward to further discussion at the final Board meeting of 2020, scheduled for December 9, 2020 at 1pm. The Board will continue to work with these associations to develop future WMP guidelines within in the next 120 day or no later than March 1, 2021. Of course, feedback from the individual agencies is also welcomed.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 5: In the next round of WMPs, utilities should provide the context- setting information discussed above. POUs should include a detailed protocol to address these concerns in order for the Board to understand the strategic direction and effectiveness of each POU and assist in furthering best practices.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 6: For planning purposes, the Board understands that there is a distinction between being a resident of a community and being customer of a utility. The utility plan, while frequently a part of the municipal plan, should address the utility customer dimensions of emergency preparedness planning with respect to PSPS and wildfires and the unique concerns of more vulnerable customers such as: Access and Functional Needs, medical baseline, non-English speakers, and those at risk of losing water or telecommunications service. The Board recommends future WMPs continue to describe the specific methods, content, and timing used to communicate with customers. Beginning with the 2021 WMPs, the POUs should provide an evaluation of whether the current method of emergency communication appears sufficient and, if not, what can be done to improve it, especially protocols for notifying customers, essential service providers, and other critical facilities of IOU or self-triggered PSPS events.

Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 39
WSAB Recommendation - 7: The Board requests information from utilities on their existing and planned system upgrades. In future WMPs, the Board would like to understand the details of each utility’s system hardening and grid design programs described in the WMP filing. Text of the WMPs should indicate the goals of the programs and the risk any particular program is designed to mitigate. The Board also wants to understand each POUs approach to PSPS mitigation and prevention. Finally, POUs should identify any supply shortages.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 8: To prevent unanticipated ignitions due to our changing environmental circumstances, utilities should consider additional visual patrols on all potentially impacted circuits annually. The Board requests that future WMPs describe the unique risks a utility is inspecting for such as insect, wildfire incursion, wood split, woodpeckers, purposeful insulator destruction, termites, etc., be included in the WMP text. WMPs should also describe whether and how system inspections lead to system improvements.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 9: The Board encourages POUs to consider different options for surfacing for further consideration and remediation, previously unidentified risks that could lead to catastrophic wildfires. POUs could work with the municipal and cooperative utility associations and neighboring utilities or create their own engineering or risk management teams.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 10: The Board recommends the WMPs state the particular wildfire risks associated with system design and construction such as topography and location near a HFTD of another utility. The Board would also like information about G.O. 95 exempt assets and possible updates to G.O. 95 that could facilitate more resilient utility transmission and distribution assets.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 11: To understand the engineering needs and wildfire risk, the Board requests POUs include context setting information in the WMPs including information about the prevailing wind directions and speeds, differentiated by season, along with average weather conditions by season. The Board requests information on how and why situational awareness technology is installed, and where on the system. The Board would also like insight into decisions that are made not to install situational awareness technology. Are there constraints such as budgets, availability of equipment, knowledge to effectively deploy, or qualified personnel to install and monitor effectively? The Board also requests information about whether this modeling data is received from or shared with other agencies, utilities, or fire professionals.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 12: The Board recommends the 2021 WMP Updates describe treatment plans for all types of vegetation associated with utility infrastructure, from the ground to the sky, which includes vegetation above and below electrical lines. In order to understand current and future risk profiles for each POU, the WMPs should highlight:
 The reasoning behind each treatment plan and the ecological impact of the treatment options chosen;  How vegetation management in the HFTD or Fire Threat Zones differs from other areas, including within private property and urban landscaping;  The difference between any enhanced vegetation management and the vegetation management that meets the G.O. 95 standard;  A list of native and non-native species and describe how treatment methods vary; and  The new growth that occurs in areas that has previously been cleared or treated, and how the POUs tracks growth.

LEU Response:

Lodi Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 7
June 17, 2026 40
WSAB Recommendation - 13: The Board recommends the POU WMPs list the qualifications of any experts relied upon, such as scientific experts in ecology, fire ecology, fire behavior, geology, and meteorology. The WMPs should specify the level of expertise of the POU staff that manages the contractors performing vegetation management.

The Board also recommends the WMPs describe measures each POU takes to ensure that POU staff and contractors comply with or verify compliance with Cal/OSHA standards on Minimum Approach Distances (MAD). Ensuring that on Qualified Electrical Workers treat vegetation within the MAD of an energized utility line as required by Cal/OSHA, is critical to fostering a strong safety culture.

LEU Response:

WSAB Recommendation - 14: The Board recommends WMPs describe whether the POU has considered innovative and alternative approaches to vegetation management such as, but not limited to requiring property owners to manage vegetation a certain distance from structures or utility lines, and pilot programs in home hardening.

AGENDA ITEM C.7

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt a Resolution Approving the Purchase of Dell Computer Equipment for Annual Computer Refresh Project from Dell Technologies Inc., of Round Rock, Texas and Appropriate Funds in the Amount Not To Exceed $537,000 (IT)
MEETING DATE:

June 17, 2026
PREPARED BY:

Joe Caswell, Information Technology Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a resolution approving the purchase of Dell computer equipment for annual computer technology refresh from Dell Technologies Inc., of Round Rock, Texas and appropriate funds in the amount not to exceed $537,000
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

As part of the City’sefforts to replace aging computer infrastructure, a refresh of the City’sservers, network switches, desktop and laptop computers is scheduled annually to replace units that have met life expectancy and are no longer covered by warranty.

The City has developed budget accounts for IT infrastructure and departmental computer refresh through cost allocations from each department based on the number and type of computers in each department.

Computers are scheduled for replacement based on the warranty expiration date set by the manufacturer and the likelihood of device failure. Network switches operate on a six (6) to eight (8) year replacement cycle.

Servers and Desktop computers are scheduled for replacement following no longer than five (5) years of operation. Laptops are scheduled for replacement following no longer than four (4) years of operation.

IT staff continuously evaluate the latest technology in desktop computing and develop a standardized equipment list for the City. Staff have standardized Dell Technology, Inc. equipment for its durability, reliability, management platform, warranty features, and technical service. The quotes, Attachments 1 and 2, show current cost for the replacement models selected. There is significant volatility and inflationary forces in the current computer hardware market. IT will work with the departments to identify priority machines for replacement and procure and deploy equipment within the not to exceed amount of $537,000.

Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution to purchase the computer hardware from Dell Technology, Inc., using Master Agreement 23026 / 7-23-70-55-01 under the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS),3-22- 06-1045 for an amount not to exceed $537,000 and appropriate funds to the IT Replacement Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this purchase is included in the Fiscal Year 26 budget. There is no additional impact from this action.

PURCHASING AUTHORITY DOLLAR THRESHOLD
Order limits for the purchase of goods and/or services are determined by the individual agency purchasing authority threshold.

No CMAS order may be executed by a State agency that exceeds that agency’s purchasing authority threshold, unless an exemption is granted by the Department of General Services (DGS) Statewide Procurement Oversight and Consulting Unit (SPOC). State agencies with approved purchasing authority, along with their dollar thresholds can be obtained at the List of State Departments with Approved Purchasing Authority website.

HOW TO USE CMAS
State agencies must adhere to the requirements in the State Contracting Manual (SCM) Volume 2, Chapter 1600 and CMAS Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions when using CMAS. x Develop an RFO, which includes a Scope of Work (SOW) a nd Bidder Declaration form. For information on the Bidder Declaration requirements see SCM, Volume 2, Sections 305 and 1202.
x Clearly defined Tasks (what needs to be done) and Deli verables (outcome of each task, i.e., reports, procedures manual, etc.) must be included in the State’s SOW. x A Work Order Authorization (WOA) may be used to documen t completion of pre-determined tasks, but only if the tasks are clearly defined in the SOW. The WOA may be used to approve release for the next phase of the agreement but cannot be used to identify any tasks other than the ones called out in the SOW. The WOA will be signed by all parties and may be submitted for progress payments under the award. x Projects can be performed on a Fixed Price Per Deliverable (FP/D). Fi xed Price; FP/D: A defined service, or set of services, performed by Contractor in response to a defined task, or set of tasks, at a specific fixed price, and delivered per a specific schedule. Note: When using FP/D the Statement of Work must describe in detail the particular project and the work that the selected Qualified Contractor will be required to perform. x For Consulting or Personal services, do not include any l abor categories/job titles or number of hours limit in the RFO Requirements or the SOW. The CMAS Contractor provides this information in their Attachment B Cost Worksheet. The State does not have the expertise to make this decision (GC 19130(b)).
x Search for potential CMAS contractors on the CMAS web site by selecting “Find California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) Contractor.”
x Request offers from a minimum of 3 CMAS contractors inc luding one small business (SB) and/or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), if available, who are authorized to sell the products and/or able to perform the services needed. (Government Code 14846(b)). x A valid attempt must be made to secure offers from viabl e CMAS contractors who are able to supply the goods and/or provide the services. Neither a lack of sufficient CMAS contractors nor the use of restrictive requirements meets the intent for obtaining offers (SCM Volume 2, Section 1670.2).

This declaration must be completed by the DVBE prime contractor and/or any DVBE subcontractors and submitted with the offer (SCM Volume 2, Section 1201).
x This is not a bid transaction, so the small business pre ference, DVBE incentives, protest language, intent to award, evaluation criteria, advertising, Administrative and Technical Requirements, etc. are not applicable. (SCM Volume 2, Section 1603). x If less than 3 offers are received, State agencies must d ocument their file with the reasons why the other suppliers did not respond with an offer. The reason must come from the CMAS contractor.
x Assess the offers received using best value criteria including cost as one of the criteria (SCM Volume 2, Section 1603).
x Issue a Purchase Order to the selected CMAS contractor. x For CMAS transactions under $20,000, only one offer is required if the State agency can establish and document that the price is Fair and Reasonable. The Fair and Reasonable (F&R) Acquisition Method can only be used for non-customizable purchases. See SCM Volume 2, Section 1510 for Fair and Reason criteria.

Local agencies must follow their own procurement regulations. For more information see the Local Government Agency Guide available online.

SPLITTING ORDERS
Splitting orders to avoid any monetary limitations is prohibited. Do not circumvent normal procurement methods by splitting purchases into a series of delegated purchase orders per PCC 10329. Splitting a project into small projects to avoid either fiscal or procedural controls is prohibited per State Administrative Manual (SAM) 4819.34.

This provision does not apply to local government agencies.

ORDERING PROCEDURES

1. Purchase Orders
All Ordering Agency purchase order documents executed under this CMAS must contain the applicable CMAS number as show on page 1.
a. State Departments:

Standard 65 Purchase Documents – State departments not transacting in FISCal must use the Purchasing Authority Purchase Order (Standard 65) for purchase execution. An electronic version of the Standard 65 is available at the Department of General Services (DGS), Procurement Division (PD) website, select Standard (STD) Forms.

FISCAL Purchase Documents – State departments transacting in FISCal will follow the FISCal procurement and contracting procedures.
b. Local Government Agencies:

Local government agencies may use their own purchase order document for purchase execution.

The agency is required to complete and distribute the purchase order. For services, the agency shall modify the information contained on the order to include the service period (start and end date), the monthly cost (or other intermittent cost), and any other information pertinent to the services. The cost for each line item must be included in the order, not just system totals.

The contractor must immediately reject purchase orders that are not accurate. Discrepancies must be negotiated and incorporated into the purchase order prior to product delivery and service implementation.

2. Service and Delivery after CMAS Expiration
The purchase order must be issued before the CMAS expires. However, delivery of the products or completion of the services may be after the CMAS expires (unless otherwise specifically stated in the purchase order). Amending the purchase order to add quantity, time, or money is not possible if the CMAS expired.

January 14, 2026 Ordering Instructions and Special Provisio ns 9

3. Multiple CMAS Agreements on a Single Purchase Or der State agencies wishing to include multiple CMAS agreements on a single FISCal purchase order must adhere to the following guidelines:
x All CMAS agreements must be for the same CMAS contractor . x The purchase order must go to one contractor location. x Enter the word “CMAS” in the space reserved for the Le veraged Procurement Agreement (LPA) number. The word “CMAS” signifies that the purchase order contains items from multiple CMAS agreements. The purchasing agency may only use one bill code. x For each individual CMAS, the agency must identify and group together the CMAS number with the line items and subtotal per CMAS number (do not include tax in the subtotal), and sequentially identify each individual CMAS as Sub #1, Sub #2, Sub #3, etc. This facilitates accurate billing of administrative fees by the Procurement Division. x The total of all items on the purchase order must not exceed the State agency’s purchasing authority dollar threshold granted by DGS SPOC.
x Do not combine items from IT and non-IT CMAS agreement s. An Information Technology CMAS begins with the number “3” and a non-IT CMAS begins with the number “4.” The purchase order limits are different for these CMAS agreements.

4. Amendments to State Agency's Purchase Orders
Agency purchase orders cannot be amended if the CMAS has expired.

SCM, Volume 2, Section 1605 provides the following directions regarding amendments to all types of LPA purchase orders:

Original orders, which include options for changes (e.g., quantity or time), that were assessed and considered in the selection for award during the RFO process, may be amended consistent with the terms of the original order, provided that the original order allowed for amendments. If the original order did not evaluate options, then amendments are not allowed unless an Non-Competitively Bid is approved for those amendments.

Amendments unique to Non-IT Services:

If the original contract permitted amendments, but did not specify the changes, (e.g., quantity or time), it may be amended. Per PCC 10335 (d)(1), a contract may only be amended once under this exemption. The time shall not exceed one year, or add not more than 30 percent of the original order value and may not exceed $250,000. If the original contract did not have language permitting amendments, the Non-Competitively Bid process must be followed.

CMAS CONTRACTOR OWNERSHIP INFORMATION
The CMAS contractor is a large business enterprise.

SMALL BUSINESS MUST BE CONSIDERED
Prior to placing orders under the CMAS program, State agencies must first consider offers from small businesses that have established CMAS agreements (GC 14846(b)). NOTE: DGS auditors will request substantiation of compliance with this requirement when agency files are reviewed.

All state departments are required to make continuous efforts to expand the Small Business (SB)/ Microbusiness (Micro)/Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) pool of bidders and to regularly seek and include in their solicitations SB/Micro that have not been used either regularly by the department issuing the solicitation, or at all by the state (AB1574).

CMAS Small Business and Disabled Veteran Partners can be found on the CMAS website by selecting “Find a CMAS Contractor”.

In response to our commitment to increase participation by small businesses, the Department of General Services waives the administrative fee (charged to customer agencies to support the CMAS program) for orders to California certified small business enterprises.

SMALL BUSINESS/DVBE - TRACKING
State agencies are able to claim subcontracting dollars towards their SB or DVBE goals whenever the CMAS contractor subcontracts a commercially useful function to a certified SB or DVBE. The CMAS contractor will provide the ordering agency with the name of the SB or DVBE used and the dollar amount the ordering agency can apply towards its SB or DVBE goal.

Indicate the dollar amount of each subcontract wit h a SB or DVBE that may be claimed by the ordering agency towards the SB or DVBE goal; and iv. Indicate what commercially useful function the SB or DVBE subcontractor will be providing towards fulfillment of the order.

3. The ordering agency’s purchase order must be addressed to the prime contractor, and the purchase order must reference the information provided by the prime contractor as outlined above.

CONTRACTORS ACTING AS FISCAL AGENTS ARE PROHIBITED
When a subcontractor ultimately provides all of the products or performs all of the services that a CMAS contractor has agreed to provide, and the prime contractor only handles the invoicing of expenditures, then the prime contractor's role becomes that of a fiscal agent because it is merely administrative in nature and does not provide a Commercially Useful Function. It is unacceptable to use fiscal agents in this manner because the agency is paying unnecessary administrative costs.

WITHHOLD LANGUAGE (SB588)
Upon delivery or completion of ordered goods or services for which the Contractor committed to DVBE subcontractor participation, state departments must require the Contractor to certify all the following:

1. The amount and percentage of work the Contractor c ommitted to provide to one or more DVBEs under the requirements of the contract and the amount each DVBE received from the Contractor.

2. That all payments under the contract have been made t o the DVBE. Upon request, the Contractor must provide proof of payment for the work.

In accordance with the Military and Veterans Code 999.7, state departments shall withhold $10,000 from the final payment, or the full final payment if less than $10,000, if the Contractor fails to meet the certification requirements identified above. State departments shall notify the Contractor of their failure to meet the certification requirements and give the Contractor an opportunity to comply with the certification requirements. If after 30 calendar days from the date of notice, the Contractor refuses to comply with the certification requirements, the state department shall permanently deduct $10,000 from the final payment or the full payment if less than $10,000.

PRODUCT SUBSTITUTIONS
Substitution of Deliverables may not be tendered without advance written consent of the Buyer.

The Contractor must offer an equivalent or newer model of the product from the same manufacturer at the same or lower price. Contractor cannot use any specification in lieu of those contained in the Contract without written consent from the Buyer. 124

OBTAINING COPY OF CMAS
A copy of this CMAS can be obtained at State Leveraged Procurement Agreements. Links to the CMAS Special Provisions and base schedule are available on the front page of this CMAS agreement.

It is important for the agency to confirm that the required products, services, and prices are included in the CMAS and are at or below base schedule rates. To streamline verification that the needed items are in the base schedule, the agencies should ask the CMAS contractor to identify the specific location in the base schedule that include the required products, services, and prices.

Once verified, agencies should save the information for their file documentation.

FEDERAL DEBARMENT
When federal funds are expended, the agency is required to obtain (retain in file) a signed “Federal Debarment” certification from the CMAS contractor before the purchase order is issued.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment with Placer.ai Labs, Inc., of Los Altos, CA, for a Total not to Exceed $72,500 (ISD - IT)..end MEETING DATE:

June 17, 2026
PREPARED BY:

Joe Caswell, Information Technology Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment with Placer.ai Labs, Inc., of Los Altos, CA, for a Total not to Exceed $72,500.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Multiple City of Lodi departments including: Economic Development, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services, and Community Development use visitor analytical data provided through the vendor platform for projection and planning purposes.

On April 30, 2024, the City entered into a two-year agreement with Placer.ai Labs, Inc., for access to their Placer.ai data analytics platform. The cost per year was $25,000 with a total of $50,000 for the agreement.

This year’srenewal was negotiated and limits the scope of data to just the State of California, decreasing the annual cost to $22,500.

In accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.077, the Information Technology Manager is authorized to acquire electronic services through negotiation, request for proposals, or competitive bid, with award based on “best value” criteria. This agreement was negotiated to provide a lower cost while still maintaining usefulness. Additional quotes for other vendors were also obtained to ensure the City is subscribing to the best platform available.

1. Placer.ai - Annual subscription of $22,500.

2. Datafy - Annual subscription of $19,500.

3. Zartico - Annual subscription of $25,000.

While #2 Datafy had the lowest annual cost, Datafy offers data sets limited to just areas pertaining to defined city boundaries. This would limit the ability to do comparative analysis to similar cities. The departments have chosen to continue to use Placer.ai due to the quality of data provided, previous experience with the software, ability to provide data for the entire State of California, and the new negotiated annual cost.

Staff recommends extending the existing agreement for an additional one-year term through April 30, 2027, and increasing the contract amount by $22,500, for a total contract amount not to exceed amount of $72,500.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Approve Three Replacement Patrol Vehicles from Folsom Lake Ford, One Replacement Patrol Vehicle from Winner Chevrolet Inc, and Emergency Equipment and Installation from LEHR Upfitters OpCo LLC, in the Amount of $338,788.82.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On June 4th, 2025, Council approved the 2025/26 fiscal year budget. Within the budget, the Police Department requested the replacement of three patrol sport utility vehicles and one patrol vehicle driven by the Community Liaison Officer, in accordance with the fleet replacement policy. Attached documentation (Attachment 1 - Attachment 4) reflects the details of the vehicles being replaced.

Staff requests the authorization to replace four vehicles as follows: three patrol sport utility vehicles from Folsom Lake Ford in the amount of $175,696.32, one patrol truck from Winner Chevrolet in the amount of $68,219.86, plus an additional $94,872.64 for the emergency equipment and installation from LEHR upfitters OpCo LLC, for a total cost of $338,788.82.

Vehicles will be purchased under the Statewide Contract (1-22-23-14C) for Enforcement Vehicles, Police Pursuit. The Police Department utilizes specially equipped, police-rated utility vehicles designed to meet the rigorous operational demands of law enforcement services. These vehicles are routinely operated under conditions that exceed those encountered by standard passenger vehicles, including emergency response driving, prolonged idling, high-speed highway operations, extended patrol shifts, and deployment in a wide range of weather, road, and environmental conditions. As a result, police vehicles must be manufactured with enhanced engine, transmission, driveline, braking, suspension, and safety components capable of providing maximum performance, durability, reliability, and officer safety throughout their service life.

The recommended purchase supports the Police Department's ongoing effort to standardize its patrol vehicle fleet around vehicle platforms that have demonstrated their ability to meet these demanding operational requirements. Standardization provides numerous benefits, including improved officer familiarity with vehicle controls and equipment layouts, streamlined training, reduced maintenance complexity, increased parts availability, enhanced fleet reliability, and more efficient lifecycle replacement planning. A standardized fleet also improves operational readiness by allowing officers to transition seamlessly between vehicles during City of Lodi Printed on 6/12/2026Page 1 of 2
