A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ELECTRIC
RATES, FEES AND CHARGES PURSUANT TO THE
REQUIREMENTS AND AUTHORITY OF CHAPTER 3.46 OF
TITLE 3 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE
A. RECITALS.
(i) 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.
(ii) 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 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. RESOLUTION.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does
hereby find and resolve as follows:
