WHEREAS, the State of California approved Senate Bill (SB) 1028 (2016) requiring that
the governing board of a local Publicly Owned Utility (POU) initiate a process to determine
whether any portion of the geographic area where the POU's overhead electric lines and
equipment are located poses a significant risk of catastrophic wildfires resulting from the POU's
electrical lines and equipment; and
WHEREAS, City staff determined that 0 percent of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Utility's (RCMU's) electric lines and equipment are located overhead; and
WHEREAS, City staff reviewed the final California Public Utilities Commission Fire
Threat Map and determined that 0 percent of the RCMU's electric lines and equipment lie within
an area designated as either elevated or extreme fire risk; and
WHEREAS, City staff also reviewed relevant historical fire data and local conditions with
the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District and determined that RCMU's service area is
not in an area that is considered an elevated risk of electric line wildfires; and
WHEREAS, based on this assessment, City staff has concluded that RCMU's electric
lines and equipment do not pose a significant risk of catastrophic wildfire.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, HEREBY RESOLVES:
