The City Clerk asked the status on the following
matter, Edison -Vernon Victorville-Lugo Transmission Agreement.
Kenneth DeDario, Director of Utilities, advised that
we have been given an extension of 45 days, through November 14,
2002, to make a decision on whether the city would elect to
continue to utilize any/ or all of the additional 64 MW of
transmission through Amendment No. 1 of the Edison -Vernon
Victorville-Lugo Transmission Agreement.
The City Clerk stated that based on the information
provided by the Director of Utilities and the fact that staff is
still examining our position asked the City Council that the
below listed matter be deferred to the next City Council
Meeting.
The Director of Utilities also advised the City
Council that the department is not asking to terminate the
Edison -Vernon Victorville Lugo agreement and that it only wants
to determine how much, if any, of the 64 MW is to be retained as
part of the agreement.
Communication from Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City
Administrator/City Clerk, dated September 12, 2002, advising
that pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Edison -Vernon
Victorville-Lugo Transmission Service Agreement, the City has a
one-time right to extend the 64 MW additional transmission
service beyond December 31, 2002. Utilities' staff advises that
the 64 MW of Victorville-Lugo additional transmission service be
terminated due to the development of the Malburg Generating
Station, which will satisfy a substantial portion of Vernon's
energy requirements in the future, save substantial ongoing
costs and future cost exposures associated with retaining the
Victorville-Lugo additional transmission service, and reduce
Edison's transmission cost by approximately $414,000.00 per
year. This has been reviewed by the Director of Utilities and
it is hereby recommended that the Edison -Vernon Victorville-Lugo
Transmission Service Agreement be terminated. (Deferred from
City Council Meeting held September 18, 2002.)
It was moved by Ybarra, seconded by Gonzales, that the
aforementioned communication from the City Administrator/City
Clerk, dated September 12, 2002 be deferred to the next City
Council Meeting. Motion carried.
