Connected Load: Connected load is the sum of the rated capacities of all of the customer's equipment that it is possible to connect to the Utility's lines at the same time, determined 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 the output as calculated from test. Any motor which is billed on a basis in excess of its nameplate rating in accordance with this special condition shall be rested at intervals to be determined by the Utility or upon notification by the customer of a permanent change in operating conditions. 4. Temporary Reduction of Connected Load: Where the use of energy is seasonal or intermittent, no adjustment will be made for any temporary reduction of connected load. Any customer, prior to resuming service on such connected load within 12 months after it was disconnected, will be required to pay all charges which would have been billed if the temporary reduction of connected load had not been made. 5.

Where demand is intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations, a 5-minute interval may be used. 4. Power Factor Adjustment: When the billing demand has exceeded 200 kW for three consecutive months, a kilovar-hour meter will be installed as soon as practical, and, thereafter, until the billing demand has been less than 150 kW for twelve consecutive months, the charges will be adjusted each month for power factor, as follows: The charges will be increased by 20 cents per kilovar of maximum reactive demand imposed on the Utility in excess of 33 percent of the maximum number of kilowatts. The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatt-hours.

OLSON Police Chief FAX: (323) 583-5236 Over the years, the City of Vernon has been one of the lowest cost providers of electrical energy in the state of California. However, over the past two years, energy costs have increased. The Utilities Department budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2000- 2001 reflects an increase in energy related costs of approximately $22 million and projects a revenue shortfall of approximately $15.6 million. In order to continue to provide competitive rates to our customers, it is recommended that a portion of the shortfall be paid from the Power Resource Cost Reduction Account, specifically the debt portion of Palo Verde for the amount of $6.6 million and the remaining shortfall of approximately $9 million to be collected from KWH sales through a retail electric rate increase of 0.782 cents per KWH (approximately 16%), that will also include the City's 3% in -lieu tax, to be effective July, 2000. In addition, it is also recommended that the attached electric rate schedules that include various minor changes, be adopted effective July 1, 2000. Very truly yours, Bruce V. Malkenhorst Director of Finance BVM•rcm Attachments t June 14, 2000 TO: Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator FROM: Kenneth J. DeDario, Director of Utilities KW_ SUBJECT: Electric Rates The City of Vernon has prided itself over the years in being one of the lowest cost providers of electrical energy in the state of California. In fact, for quite some time now, Vernon has had the lowest average rate in the state. However, the cost of energy has significantly increased over the past two years and future prices of energy show no signs of decreasing anytime soon. The Utilities Department budget proposed for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 reflects an increase in energy related costs of approximately $22 million and projects total expenses of approximately $75.6 million and revenues of approximately $60 million. This projects to a revenue shortfall of approximately $15.6 million. In order to continue providing competitive rates to our customers, I recommend that a portion of the shortfall be paid by the Power Resource Cost Reduction Account. This Account was created in 1996 to be used for the retirement of costs associated with power resource investments or assets which have become high cost, particularly in connection with the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PV). I specifically recommend that thg debt portion of Palo Verde, approximately $6.6 million for the upcoming fiscal year, be paid by this account. See attached Revenue Versus Expense Analysis for details. Since the increase in cost is primarily a direct result of the increase in energy costs, I recommend that the remaining shortfall of approximately $9 million be collected from KWH sales. Since the City has a three (3) % in -lieu tax, the total needed for collection is approximately $9.3 million. Therefore, I specifically recommend a retail electric rate increase of 0.782 cents per KWJI effective July 1, 2000. This change translates to an average rate increase of approximately 16%. Again, see the attached Revenue Versus Expense Analysis for details. In spite of this electric rate increase, the City's electric rates will remain one of the lowest in the state. Additionally, before this rate increase Vernon's electric rates were from approximately 31- 63% below Southern California Edison (Edison) and from approximately 32 — 54% below the Los Angeles department of Water & Power (LADWP). After this rate increase, Vernon's electric rates will still be below Edison's electric rates by approximately 18 — 44% and LADWP's by approximately 24 — 45%. Vernon's electric rates will be very competitive. I also recommend some other minor changes to various schedules effective July 1, 2000 as follows: • modify Schedules No. GS-1, GS-2, TOU-G, and TOU-V to add a section on Removal or Modification of Equipment and modify Schedule No. CS to increase several customer service fees to better reflect actual cost of service. j Finally, I note that this is the first non -Energy Cost Adjustment Billing Factor increase in electric rates, since 1984. In fact, we had reductions in electric rates of almost $6 million in 1997 and 1998. The bottom line is as I stated earlier: Vernon will still have one of the lowest electric rates in the state of California and will remain very competitive. Based on the above, I recommend that the attached electric rate schedules be adopted effective July 1, 2000. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration.
