[ C. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ITEM OF BUSINESS
1. APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A CORPORATE
GUARANTY AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES
AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY (CO RA 03-025) FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCE-OWNED PORTION OF THE ARBORS ELECTRIC SUBSTATION TO
BE LOCATED AT ROCHESTER AVENUE AND STADIUM PARKVVAY.
Linda Daniels, Redevelopment Agency Director, presented the staff report. She requested approval of
the Resolution that would authorize the Chairman to execute a Corporate Guaranty for the
Interconnection and Wholesale Service Agreement. She said the Corporate Guaranty has been
requested by Edison because the City has not issued debt and therefore does not have a credit rating,
and they are looking for a corporate guaranty from the parent company; so in essence, the Agency would
be co-signing with the City on this Corporate Guaranty identifying the ability to pay and the premise to pay
on the financial arrangements as a result of the Intereonnection Agreement/Distribution Agreement. She
said it is required for the Resolution to be adopted authorizing the Chairman to execute the Corporate
Guaranty. She said we have already submitted to Edison information on the financial well being of the
Agency and they have approved that in concept. She said we meet their requirements for the ratings by
the rating agencies, and they are the ones that have requested the Agency's Corporate Guaranty
because of lack of rating for the City.

Robert Lemon, Assistant Engineer, presented the staff reports. He said the first agreement, the
Interconnection Facilities Agreement, is a companion agreement that supersedes our most recent Letter
Agreement. The Letter Agreement provided a payment of 1.99 million dollars so that Edison could
proceed with the engineering design and procurement of long lead items associated with the Arbors
Substation. He stated that this subsequent agreement provides for construction costs that are going to
be associated with the Edison-owned portion of that substation.
Mr. Lemon stated the second agreement, the Service Agreement, establishes the terms and conditions of
receiving electric load via Edison's transmission system. He said both of these agreements together
represent the final two in a series of six agreements signed with Edison that will complete our WDAT
process.
