A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, TO DECREASE
STREETLIGHT ELECTRIC RATES, 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.
