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.
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.

periods of time or when the Customer's Meter has not recorded a Maximum
Demand in the preceding eleven (11) months, the Facilities Related Component of
the Demand Charge may be established at fifty percent (50%) of the Customer's
Connected Load. Separate Demand Charge(s) for the On-Peak, Mid-Peak, and
