On December 16, 1997, this Council approved Resolution No. 7062
which modified the existing electrical rates that, in part,
provided for an overall reduction in rates, plus a credit that
would offset state imposed charges established by AB1890. Due
to recent increases in power costs and the projected future cost
of power, it is recommended that reserves no longer be used to
offset the state -imposed AB1890 charges which entails
eliminating the above -mentioned credit.
The credit decrease to Vernon's electric customers will be
approximately $1.6 million per year; however, Vernon's customers
will continue to receive substantial savings compared to the
neighboring utilities. This proposed change will allow Vernon
to better position itself as Edison and other utilities pay off
their stranded investment.
This has been reviewed by the Director of Utilities, and it is
hereby recommended that the AB1890 Credit currently being
applied to all the electric bills be removed effective April 1,
2000.

SUBJECT: AB 1890 Credit
On December 10, 1997, the Utilities Department submitted a recommendation to modify
the existing electrical rates that in part provided for an overall reduction in rates of over
$2 million plus an additional credit of approximately $1.5 million. The City Council,
through Resolution No. 7062, approved the recommendation contained in said letter.
However, due to the significant increase in power costs experienced recently and the
projected future cost of power, the Department recommends that its reserves no longer be
used to offset the state -imposed charges established in AB 1890.
Therefore, I recommend that the AB 1890 Credit currently being applied to all the electric
bills as approved by resolution No. 7062 be removed effective March 1, 2000. The
resulting cost increase to Vernon's electric customers will be approximately $1.6 million
per year. This proposed change will allow Vernon to better position itself as Edison and
other utilities pay off their stranded investment. Vernon's. customers in the meantime
will still enjoy substantial savings compared to the neighboring utilities.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. Thank you for your

Procurement Plan & Credit Risk Management Policy (Plan & Policy)
which established guidelines for the Utilities Department to
plan, execute, and control the management of a variety of risks
inherent in power resource procurement. Section 1.6 of the Plan
& Policy authorizes the transacting of business in electricity
futures, and various other markets and Resolution No. 7296

Re: Utilities Department Fledging with Natural Gas Futures and Options
Dear Bruce:
The Utilities Department is currently authorized, pursuant to City Council Resolution No.
7296, to use hedging instruments to enhance its power supply procurement practices and
manage variable electricity price risk. The Utilities Department wants to use additional
hedging instruments -- natural gas futures and options -- for the purpose of power resource
procurement, since the price of natural gas has a definite correlation with the price of
electrical energy.
I recommend you seek City Council approval for the use of natural gas futures and options
as additional hedging instruments for the Utilities Department to help it manage and mitigate
price risk. I attach a resolution to accomplish this objective and amend the prior City
Council resolution that approved and authorized the Utilities Department to engage in
financial electricity commodities futures and options.
I also attach a copy of a letter to Utilities Director Kenneth J. DeDario, which discusses in
detail hedging with natural gas futures and options. Please call me (415-235-9312) if you
have any questions.
Sincerely,

Re: Hedging with Natural Gas Options
Dear Ken:
This paper is meant as a draft outline of a formal position to be subsequently taken upon
your approval to the City Council for increased authorization of instruments available to
the Utilities Department for the .procurement of electricity through the financial markets
and,; the continued implementation of electric market price risk management strategies.
The new instruments concern natural gas options contracts.
I have reviewed a document prepared by Jorge Somoano for the Resource Management
and Bulk Power Group (the "Power Group") concerning expanding the scope of the
Utilities Department's (the "Department") existing authorization from the City Council to
hedge fluctuating electricity prices. The Department is currently authorized to use
hedging instruments to enhance its power supply procurement practices and manage
variable price risk. I recommend the Department seek City Council approval for the use
of these additional hedging instruments.
The Power Group proposes to add natural gas options to its currently approved hedging
instrument mix of electricity futures contracts, options on electricity futures contracts and
electric rate swap agreements (whereby the buyer exchanges floating rate payments for
fixed rate payments and thereby reduces the risk involved with fluctuating electricity
prices).
The wholesale price of natural gas is strongly correlated to the wholesale price of
electricity. This correlation is based upon the substantial usage of natural gas in the
generation of electricity. The regioiA with the most transparent short-term natural gas to
power price correlation are the no4western and southwestern parts of the United
States, and Texas. These areas coincide with the Palo Verde and COB electric power
futures contracts trading on the NYMEX commodities exchanges as well as in other
Kenneth J. DeDario
January 7, 2000
Page 2
markets. The Power Group is proposing to buy and sell natural gas options when
hedging opportunities are not available in the electricity markets.
The Power Group believes the use of these natural gas hedging instruments will allow the
Department to shift, when appropriate and advantageous, its electricity price risk to
natural gas. Natural gas historically does not have the same high level of price volatility
that is associated with electricity. The Power Group has identified this shifting price risk
strategy as a further advantage to the City for authorizing the use of these natural gas
hedging instruments. Electric price risk is shifted through the use of a "spark spread,'
which is a new term that comes from an old name and concept in the oil industry. In the
oil industry it would be referred to as the crack spread, which developed when a
producer was caught between two markets and desired to fix or stabilize his margins.
Similar to the crack spread, the spark spread developed in the electricity markets as an
intermarket spread for electricity and natural gas. The spark spread involves the
simultaneous purchase and sale of electricity and natural gas futures contracts. This
allows a market participant or trader to take advantage of the generic conversions of
nat!;iral gas to power to help price the forward electric power curve using natural gas -
fired generators operating efficiencies and prices.
The spark spread is a proxy for the heat rate of a specific generating unit or station (the
number of Btus needed to make one kilowatt of electricity multiplied by the cost of
energy expressed in dollars per Btu. In an example given by the NYMEX, it assumes it
takes 10,000 Btus to make one kilowatt of electricity. They then simplify the formula by
multiplying the price per million Btus (MMBtu) by 10 to equate one MMBtu of natural
gas to one megawatt hour (Mwh) of electricity. If the heat rate is 6,250, multiply by
6.25; if it is 19,000, multiply by 19. In this way the spark spread is used as a method of
converting millions of Btus to megawatt hours and vice versa. It therefore relates well to
the futures contracts for electricity and natural gas.
Because of the size difference between the electricity and natural gas contracts, the heat
rate is an important factor in the arbitrage between natural gas futures and power
futures. The electricity futures contract is for 864 Mwh per contract compared to natural
gas of 10,000 MMBtus per contract. Using the 10,000 Btu/Mwh heat rate method of
converting Mwhs to MMBtus, one power contract equals 8,640 MMBtus or 0.864 natural
gas contracts -- approximately four power contracts to three natural gas contracts.
Therefore, at an 8,000 heat rate the spark spread moves to a five -to -three relationship
and at a 13,000 heat rate, the spread is nearly a one-to-one relationship.
In addition to exploiting the spark spread, the Power Group proposes the Department's
natural gas hedging instruments be limited to a few types of options transactions.
Kenneth J. DeDario
January 7, 2000
Page 3
Options contracts are agreements between two parties (the exchanges also operate as
intermediaries) in which the option buyer has the right -- not the obligation -- to buy or
sell a commodity at a set price (the "strike price") at a specified time in the future. An
option to buy or "call", gives the owner the right to purchase the commodity at a fixed
price at a specified time. An option to sell, or "pu % gives the owner the right to sell the
commodity at a fixed price at a specified time.
The option transactions being proposed for use by the Department are long calls, long
call spreads, and short put spreads. The "long" refers to the position of the buyer of a
call options contract; conversely, the "short" refers to the opposite position of the buyer
of the put options contract. Spreads refer to the purchase and sale of options of varying
types (call or put), strike prices, expiration dates or both. A spread includes the
purchase (or sale) of an options contract and the simultaneous sale (or purchase) of a
futures contract for the same commodity.
A long call position or buying hedge protects against price spikes in natural gas that may
lead to electricity price increases. A long call -spread position protects less against a price
spire in natural gas, but the premium paid for the position is also less. Finally, the short
put -spread position protects against volatile and declining prices, but limits the
Department's upside price protection in the natural gas market.
This letter is meant as a general overview of natural gas options on futures as risk
management tools. If you approve proceeding to the next authorization level, I
recommend restructuring this paper and emphasizing the use of these hedging
instruments as a prudent extension of new products and new transactions under the
Department's current authorization for commodities trading pursuant to the Resource
Procurement Plan & Credit Risk Management Policy.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I have attached some relevant articles
about these markets to this letter.
Sincerely,

to the nearest 1/10 hp. In no case will charges be based on less than 2 hp for single-phase
service or no less than 3 hp for three-phase service. The rated capacity of the customer's
equipment will be the rated horsepower output of standard rated motors, and the rated
kilovolt -ampere input capacity of other equipment, with each kilovolt -ampere of input
considered equal to one horsepower. Normally such ratings will be based on the
manufacturer's rating as shown on the nameplate or elsewhere but may, at the option of
the Utility, be based on tests or other reliable information.
3. Overloaded Motors: Whenever, upon test, any motor under normal operating conditions
is found to be delivering more than 115 percent of its capacity as indicated by its
nameplate rating, the Utility may disregard the nameplate rating and base its charges upon
