A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 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.
