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 sinje-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 intervalsto 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

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 racket
device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on
leading power factors.
6. Temporary Discontinuance of Service: Where the use of energy is seasonal or
intermittent, no adjustments will be made for a temporary discontinuance of service. Any
customer, prior to resuming service within twelve months after such service was
discontinued, will be required to pay all charges which would have been billed if service
had not been discontinued.

Transmitted herewith is a memorandum submitted by Kenneth J. DeDario,
Director of Utilities regarding increased costs in utility rates.
Staff will be submitting on Tuesday a detailed report that represents
the necessary changes in our electric rates. Based on the Director of
Utilities memorandum dated September 13, 2000 and the rate information
to be submitted on September 19, 2000 it is hereby recommended that
the City of Vernon Utilities -Department electric rates be increased
pursuant to the information being submitted this date.
Very truly yours,
Bruce V. Malkenhorst

TO: Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator

SUBJECT: Electric Rates
As mentioned in my June 14, 2000 memo to you on the same subject, the cost of energy has
significantly increased over the past two years and future prices of energy still show no sign of
decreasing anytime soon.
In fact, for the current fiscal year, the Utilities Department is projecting an additional increase in
energy related costs of approximately $12 million with only an additional increase in revenues of
approximately $3 million, This projects to a revenue shortfall of approximately $9 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 the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating
Station (PV). I specifically recommend that the entire Palo Verde costs be paid by this account.
Since the increase in cost is primarily a direct result of the increase in energy costs, I recommend
that the remaining shortfall of approximately $6 million be collected from kWh sales. I
specifically recommend an average retail electric rate increase of 0.553 cents per kWh effective
October 1, 2000. This change translates to an average rate increase of approximately 9.75%.
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
18 - 44% below Southern California Edison (Edison) and from approximately 24 — 45% 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 13 — 39% and
LADWP's by approximately 17 — 40%. Vernon's electric rates will continue to be very
competitive.
Based on the above, I recommend that the attached electric rate schedules be adopted effective
October 1, 2000.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration.
