A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING 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:
