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. In-Lieu Tax and Franchise Payments: The base rates and charges have
been increased by 3 percent to reflect payments in-lieu of tax and
franchise payments.
6. Public Benefits Charge: A mandatory Public Benefits Charge has been
assessed pursuant to Assembly Bill 1890, signed into law by the
Governor on September 20, 1996. The charge is 2.85 percent of the total
bill before any special fees or charges.
7. Energy Cost Adjustment: Energy cost adjustment charge will be assessed
pursuant to the Procedures for Calculating the Energy Cost Adjustment
Billing Factor (ECABF Procedure) and the Energy Cost Adjustment
Calculation Sheet ECA-1 that have been approved by the City Council.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:June 6, 2023
From:Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities
Department:Public Utilities
Submitted by:Adriana Ramos, Administrative Analyst
Subject
Electric Rate Schedules
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-13 Amending Electric Rate Schedule Nos. CS (Customer Service
Fee), D (Domestic Service), GS-1 (General Service), GS-2 (General Service), LS-1 (Lighting-
Street and Highway Utility-Owned System), LS-2 (Lighting-Street and Highway Customer-Owned
Installation), OL-1 (Outdoor Area Lighting Service), PA-1 (Power-Agricultural and Pumping
Connected Load Basis), PA-2 (Power-Agricultural and Pumping Demand Basis), PA-TOU
(Power-Agricultural and Pumping Time-of-Use), TC-1 (Traffic Control Service), TOU GS-1
(General Service), TOU GS-2 (General Service), TOU PA-1 (Power-Agricultural and Pumping
Connected Load Basis), TOU-D (Domestic Service), TOU-G (General Service-Large), TOU-V
(General Service-Large), and TOU-Vt (General Service-Large) regarding electrical rates to be
charged for electrical energy distributed and supplied by the City within its boundaries.
Background
The pace of change in the utility market is accelerating, including business development for new
customers, loss of customers, supply chain issues, higher energy, natural gas, and construction
costs, procurement of renewable energy, climate change, and regulatory and legislative
mandates, which have all had a direct impact on the Vernon Public Utilities (VPU)’s Fiscal Year
(FY) 2023-24 Operating and Capital Budgets. Navigating the challenges of long-term growth,
resource planning, maintaining customer satisfaction and reliability while managing the
significant amount of data to drive decision making is critical to the continued success of VPU
and is critical to ensuring the viability of our customers.
As discussed during the FY 2023-24 budget workshops, internal staff meetings, customer
meetings, and with representatives from Moody’s and S&P Global Ratings, VPU is transitioning
over the next several years from its existing customer base that has been in Vernon for an
average of thirty-five years. During FY 2022-23, VPU is forecasting lower revenues due to the
loss and diminished operations of a few key customers. VPU also expects the loss of another
major customer in calendar year 2024. With the transition to more green commerce operations
in the City, VPU estimates a potential minimum load growth of 150 megawatts (MW) with the full
build-out of projects within a five to ten-year period. By FY 2024-25, VPU estimates new load
growth of 21.5 MW, which is higher than the current load loss of its top customers.
Based on the above factors, VPU’s FY 2023-24 Budget includes a proposed five percent (5%)
electric rate increase. The budget also incorporates a minimal increase in electric load, as well
as higher energy, natural gas, and construction costs. For example, costs for critical operating
equipment, materials, and supplies, such as transformers and chlorine are up 62% and 103%,
respectively, since 2020. The rate adjustment does not fully recover the loss of revenue from
VPU’s top customers in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24. During the FY 2023-24 budget process,
VPU was able to defer and eliminate more than $10 million in operating and capital costs without
impacting vital infrastructure investments to continue to provide reliable service to customers.
Even with the proposed 5% rate adjustment, VPU’s revenues are flat at $184 million when
compared to the FY 2022-23 revenue forecast. Considering the situation at hand, VPU’s electric
rates are 10% lower than Southern California Edison. When compared to neighboring publicly
owned utilities like Burbank Water and Power and Glendale Water and Power, VPU is lower by
13% and 26%, respectively. Future information about the proposed electric rate increase was
sent out by U.S. postal service and email to every Vernon customer.
As part of the FY 2023-24 budget process, VPU staff engaged in multiple outreach meetings
regarding VPU’s financial and operating plans, which included communication about the utility’s
Electric Cost of Service (COS) Analysis and Rate Design Study (Study), as well as solicitation of
customer feedback regarding the state of the utility. Furthermore, city and VPU staff held a Joint
Special Business and Industry Commission/Green Vernon Commission meeting and hosted a
Business Breakfast on April 25, 2023 and May 3, 2023, respectively. On May 25, 2023, a public
notice of the proposed Adoption of the Resolution Amending Electric Rate Schedules was
published in the Los Angeles Wave (Huntington Park Bulletin).
VPU’s last electric COS Analysis and Study was completed in 2018 and included a five-year rate
study and financial plan. Accordingly, on April 2, 2019, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-
07 amending the electric rates for FYs 2019 through 2023. In accordance with Resolution No.
2019-07, VPU recommended a four-step rate adjustment as follows: (i) a 0.8% electric rate
increase effective July 1, 2019, (ii) a 1.9% electric rate increase effective July 1, 2020, (iii) a 4%
electric rate increase effective July 1, 2021, and (iv) a 4 % rate increase effective July 1, 2022.
On April 4, 2023, City Council approved a Services Agreement with NewGen Strategies &
Solutions, LLC (NewGen) to conduct a new Study and to provide Rate Adjustment
Recommendations. This forthcoming analysis will offer the best strategic approach to determine
the appropriate rates and services to address stakeholder needs and ensure that only the costs
to operate the utility are built into VPU’s rates. Moreover, the approach to this Study is to
incorporate VPU’s data, market information, and community input to provide an integrated view
designed to allow VPU to make long-term financial, operational, and procurement decisions.
Completion of the Study will confirm that VPU adheres to industry standard. Surrounding public
utilities are also in the process of similar Cost of Service and rate design studies. Furthermore,
because of this Study, VPU will have the financial model necessary to respond to market changes
that impact its customers. One of the anticipated outcomes of this Study is to enable VPU to
continue to provide competitive and stable rates to its customers. VPU expects to present the
Study to City Council by August 2023. The Study with NewGen consists of the following:
· System Level Load Forecast
· Cost of Service Analysis/Revenue Requirements
· Rate Design
· Financial Reserves Policy
· Financial Forecast Model
While the study is in process, VPU recommends a proposed 5% electric rate increase effective
July 1, 2023 be applied to all Commercial rate classes of electric customers; CS (Customer
Service Fee), D (Domestic Service), GS-1 (General Service), GS-2 (General Service), LS-1
(Lighting-Street and Highway Utility-Owned System), LS-2 (Lighting-Street and Highway
Customer-Owned Installation), OL-1 (Outdoor Area Lighting Service), PA-1 (Power-Agricultural
and Pumping Connected Load Basis), PA-2 (Power-Agricultural and Pumping Demand Basis),
PA-TOU (Power-Agricultural and Pumping Time-of-Use), TC-1 (Traffic Control Service), TOU
GS-1 (General Service), TOU GS-2 (General Service), TOU PA-1 (Power-Agricultural and
Pumping Connected Load Basis), TOU-D (Domestic Service), TOU-G (General Service-Large),
TOU-V (General Service-Large), and TOU-Vt (General Service-Large).
In accordance with Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 13.26.020, “any change in rates to be
charged and collected for energy supplied by the Vernon electric system from and after July 29,
1982, shall be set by resolution of the City Council.” Therefore, VPU staff is seeking to amend
the Electric Rate Schedule Nos. CS (Customer Service Fee), D (Domestic Service), GS-1
(General Service), GS-2 (General Service), LS-1 (Lighting-Street and Highway Utility-Owned
System), LS-2 (Lighting-Street and Highway Customer-Owned Installation), OL-1 (Outdoor Area
Lighting Service), PA-1 (Power-Agricultural and Pumping Connected Load Basis), PA-2 (Power-
Agricultural and Pumping Demand Basis), PA-TOU (Power-Agricultural and Pumping Time-of-
Use), TC-1 (Traffic Control Service), TOU GS-1 (General Service), TOU GS-2 (General Service),
TOU PA-1 (Power-Agricultural and Pumping Connected Load Basis), TOU-D (Domestic
Service), TOU-G (General Service-Large), TOU-V (General Service-Large), and TOU-Vt
(General Service-Large) regarding electrical rates to be charged for electrical energy distributed
and supplied by the City within its boundaries.
The proposed resolution has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office. If
approved, the proposed rate increase will become effective on July 1, 2023. Electric rate
schedules can be found on the City’s website in the Public Utilities section under Rate & Fees
tab.
Fiscal Impact
The recommended 5% electric rate adjustment has been included by VPU in the proposed FY
2023-24 Budget, Account Number 055-450-575-450010, Sale of Electricity.
