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.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does hereby find
and resolve as follows:
Section 1. The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Resolution, are true and
correct.
Section 2. The rates, fees and charges assessed under Chapter 3.46 of Title 3 shall
be as set forth on Attachment 1 hereto and incorporated by reference as
if fully set forth herein.
