2. 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.

determined to the nearest kW.
3. Maximum Demand: The maximum demand in any month shall be the measured maximum
average kilowatt input, indicated or recorded by instruments to be supplied by the Utility,
during any 15-minute metered interval in the month. 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. Demand in
kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device will be
installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on leading power factors.

4. Voltage Discount: The charges including adjustment will be reduced by 3% for service
delivered and metered at voltages of from 2 kV through 10 kV; by 4% for service delivered
and metered at voltages of from 11 kV through 50 kV; and by 5% for service delivered and

The maximum reactive demand shall be the highest measured maximum average
kilovar demand indicated or recorded by metering to be supplied by the Utility during
any 15-minute metered interval in the month. The kilovars shall be determined to the

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,

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.
