A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ELECTRIC RATES AND
CHARGES, PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS AND AUTHORITY OF
CHAPTER 3.46 OF TITLE 3 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA
MUNICIPAL CODE
A. Recitals
1. The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga has previously adopted Chapter 3.46 of
Title 3 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code establishing Electricity Service Rules and
Regulations and authorizing that the rates,fees and charges arising, directly or indirectly, under
said legislation be adopted pursuant to resolution, and thereafter, be amended from time to
time by resolution.
2. City staff has prepared a comprehensive schedule of the rates, fees and charges that reflect
the reasonable and prudent costs relating to the acquisition and distribution of electric power
to retail customers and are recommending that the City Council adopt the recommended rates
and fees. These rates do not present the City an opportunity to achieve profits or to impose
charges in excess of the costs reasonably related to the development, maintenance and
expansion of a municipal electric distribution system. The City Council has directed City staff
to regularly review the operations of the City's electric utility to ensure that the rates are
sufficient to cover all prudent business costs, reserves and capital equipment acquisition but
not exceeding the amount necessary for the same. The rates, fees and charges reflect the
reasonable costs to the City system only and do not reflect any excess rates, fees, or charges
that are in excess of the reasonable costs of providing the electrical services as set forth
hereinafter.
3. The City Council has reviewed the adoption of this Resolution pursuant to the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and has determined that the
adoption of the Electric Rules and Regulations has no foreseeable potential to a result in a
significant impact upon the environment and is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Further, the City Council has determined that the
adoption of the fees is exempt from substantive environmental review under Section 15273 of
the State CEQA Guidelines as no capital projects for system expansion are included in the
proposed action.
4. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
