EXHIBIT A
City of Vernon
Procedures for Calculating the
Fuel Cost Adjustment Billing Factor
The Fuel Cost Adjustment Billing Factor (FCABF) will be applied based on kWh
billed under all schedules to reflect changes in the cost of natural gas (Fuel) consisting of
gas purchased from the Vernon Natural Gas Financing Authority; gas used for
generation, including gas used at the Malburg Generation Station and the embedded cost
(fuel cost) in purchased energy.
The FCABF, expressed to the nearest $0.0001per kilowatt-hour (kWh), is to be
calculated pursuant to the following equation:
FCABF = FC + C
Se
Where,
FCABF = Fuel cost Adjustment Billing Factor per Kilowatt Hour sold
FC = Fuel cost and embedded fuel cost in purchased energy for the previous period
C = Adjustment for Interruptible Service Under Recovery
Se = Kilowatt Hours sold in the previous period
FCABF Computation Sheet
Schedule FCA-1 is attached to provide the computation sheet for all period once
implementation is completed.
Fuel Cost (FC)
Items 1 through 4 represent the fuel cost and embedded fuel cost in purchased power
which are to be used in computing the period's FCABF. This is the costs the City
incurred in the second -previous month.
Line 1 represents the incremental cost associated with the prepay gas program above the
$7.50 per MMBtu base, including amounts payable to the Vernon Natural Gas Financing
Authority and debt service on City obligations allocable to the payment of costs of the
prepay gas program.
Line 2 represents incremental gas cost for MGS generation, adjusted for the commodity
swap, above the $7.50 per MMBtu base.
Line 3 represents incremental gas cost for self -generation above the $7.50 per MMBtu
base.
Line 4 represents the embedded fuel cost in purchased power on the wholesale power
market to serve load. It is computed by converting the MWhs purchased into equivalent
MMBtu. It represents the cost of equivalent gas cost above the $7.50 per MMBtu base.
Adjustment for Interruptible Service Under -Recovery ( C )
Represents the revenue short -fall from limiting the cost impact to Interruptible Service to
2.5 % increase over the prevailing average billing rate.

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.
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

power factor, as follows:
The charges will be increased by 20.6 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. Demands 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.
8. X-Ray Installations: Where the Utility installs the standard transformer
capacity requested by a customer to serve separately an X-Ray installation, the
minimum charge will be increased by $1.03 per kVA of transformer capacity
requested.
9. 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.
10. Excess Transformer Capacity: The transformer capacity in excess of a
customer's contract demand either required by the Utility because of the
nature of the customer's load or requested by the customer. Excess
transformer capacity shall be billed at $1.03 per kVA per month.
11. Contract Demand: A contract demand will be established by the Utility,
based upon applicant's demand requirements for any customer newly
requesting service on this schedule and for any customer of record on this
schedule who requests an increase or decrease in transformer capacity in
accordance with the Light and Power Department Rules for Electric Service.
A contract demand arrangement is available upon request for all customers of
record on this schedule. Contract demand is based upon the nominal kilovolt -
ampere rating of the Utility's serving transformer(s) or the standard
transformer size determined by the kilowatt demand, whichever is less and is
expressed in kilowatts.

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 metered at voltages over 50 kV; except that when only one
transformation from a transmission voltage level is involved, a customer normally
entitled to a 3% discount will be entitled to a 4% discount.
5. Power Factor Adjustment:
a. Service Delivered and Metered at 4 kV or Greater: The charges will be
adjusted each month for reactive demand as follows:
The charges will be increased by 20.6 cents per kilovar of maximum reactive
demand imposed on the Utility in excess of 20 percent of the maximum
number of kilowatts.
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 nearest unit. A ratchet device will be installed on
each kilovar meter to prevent reverse operation of the meter.
b. Service Delivered and Metered at Less than 4 M The charges will be
adjusted each month for the power factor as follows:
The charges will be increased by 20.6 cents per kilovar of maximum reactive
demand imposed on the ,Utility in excess of 20 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 rachet device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter
to prevent its reverse operation on leading power factors.

FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT BILLING FACTOR
STAFF REPORT
Early this year, natural gas prices started a relatively steady climb to an average level of
$11/MMBtu. This is an increase of over 50% in just a few months. This significant increase in
natural gas prices and associated power costs, cost the City approximately $8,000,000 in
additional operating expenses by the end of June 2008.
A similar rapid climb in natural gas prices occurred in the latter part of 2005. During such
period, natural gas prices remained high for five or six months. That single "blip" in natural gas
costs resulted in Vernon Light & Power incurring millions of dollars in additional operating
expenses that were not recovered from the City's electric customers.
The City of Vernon Light & Power Department must make prompt adjustments to ensure the
sound financial position of the Light and Power Departments operating funds by limiting the
negative impacts generated by extraordinary high natural gas and electricity prices.
Since this current natural gas price run-up is predicted to be similar to the "blip" in 2005, the
City of Vernon Light & Power Department is proposing to amend the existing "Fuel Cost
Adjustment" billing factor to its electric rate structure.
The Light and Power Department has considered four market exposed areas associated with
natural gas and electricity purchases. These areas are as follows:
1 - Natural gas purchased from the market for electricity generation above
the pre -pay natural gas supplied through the Vernon Natural Gas Financing
Authority.
2 - Natural gas that is at a discount to index under a commodity swap
associated with the pre -paid natural gas program
3 - The embedded fuel cost in purchased power on the wholesale power
market. The price for power in the wholesale market place is directly
impacted by the cost of natural gas.
4 - Variable costs for the gas purchased under the Gas Supply Contract with
the Vernon Natural Gas Financing Authority including amounts payable to
the Vernon Natural Gas Financing Authority and debt service on City
obligations allocable to the payment of costs of the prepay gas program
The "Fuel Cost Adjustment" for the commodity swap (item 2 above) will be computed each
month based on publication of Gas Daily's daily posting for SoCal Border deliveries and the
National Gas Intelligence (NGI) for SoCal Border deliveries. However, that may change based
on the City's economic purchasing decisions. The "Fuel Cost Adjustment" for power purchased
from the market will be converted to MMBtu's using established market heat rate.
The base case or starting point at which the "Fuel Cost Adjustment" would take effect is $7.50.
Computation of the FCABF will be in accordance with the Fuel Cost Adjustment Tariff attached
as Exhibit A and Exhibit B. All existing electric rate schedules have been amended to provide
for the FCABF assessment. The "Fuel Cost Adjustment" billing factor will be based on actual
costs,
Recommendation:
The City of Vernon Light and Power Department recommends the following;
1. The inclusion of the FCABF clause to all electric rate schedules be approved.
2. The Amended Fuel Cost Adjustment Tariff as attached be approved and be
effective September 1, 2008.
3. The proposed Fuel Cost Adjustment be a separate charge on customer's bill in
cents per kilowatt-hour consumed.
4. The Fuel Cost Adjustment starting point be $7.50
