15061(b)(3), 15378(b)(2), 15378(b)(4), AND 15378(b)(5) OF
TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim ("Anaheim") maintains an electric generation
and distribution system for the furnishing of electricity to residents and businesses of Anaheim
and has adopted Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations for the sale and distribution of electricity;
and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Municipal Code authorizes the Anaheim City Council
to approve reasonable Rates, Rules and Regulations governing electric services and fees for
providing electric services; and
WHEREAS, Anaheim established various rules of the Electric Rates, Rules and
Regulations for these purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Public Utilities Department ("Department") is a
publicly owned utility, but nonetheless strives to operate like a business and continuously seeks
opportunities to minimize administrative and fiscal burdens while remaining in a position to
maintain service reliability and high industry standards; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Regulatory Relief Task Force was charged with
reviewing the regulatory burden on existing and prospective businesses in Anaheim and making
recommendations that help foster more freedom for Anaheim's utility customers ("Anaheim's
Regulatory Relief Initiative"); and
WHEREAS, in support of the Anaheim Regulatory Relief Initiative, to provide
regulatory relief to utility customers under certain specific circumstances, and to clarify and
update language, Department staff reviewed and recommends modifications to Rule Nos. 1, 2,
15.0, 15.1, 15.2 and 18 of the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations to, among other things,
provide payment and construction flexibility for development projects; and allow customers to
recover the associated costs of providing public access electric vehicle charging stations; and
WHEREAS, Anaheim's Public Utilities Board ("Public Utilities Board")
considered the proposal of the Department and made the following findings with respect to the
need for the proposed modifications to the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations: it is reasonable
and appropriate to modify the Rules as set forth in Attachment A in order to further Anaheim's
Regulatory Relief Initiative and clarify and update the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations; and
WHEREAS, based on the findings hereinabove made, the Public Utilities Board
recommended to the Anaheim City Council that the Anaheim City Council adopt the findings of
the Public Utilities Board with respect to the matters contained herein and modify (a) Rule Nos.
1, 2, and 18 of the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations as set forth in Attachment A; and (b)
Rule Nos. 15.0, 15.1 and 15.2 by deleting Rule Nos. 15.1 and 15.2, renaming Rule No. 15.0 as
Rule No. 15, and modifying the content of this Rule as set forth in Attachment A; and
WHEREAS, at a public hearing noticed in accordance with Government Code
sections 66016 and 66018, the Public Utilities Board was presented with Rule No. 15 which
requires applicants to be responsible for labor, equipment and material costs of a line extension
that are necessary and reasonably related to furnishing electric service solely to an applicant's
project; and
WHEREAS; the purpose of this Rule No. 15 obligation is solely to have the
applicant cover their line extension costs and any amounts collected under this Rule shall be
strictly used for these facilities; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing, the Public Utilities Board determined there
was a reasonable relationship between (a) the Rule No. 15 obligation and the project type in that
only those projects requiring a line extension will have a Rule No. 15 obligation though the
extent of the obligation shall be no more than is necessary and reasonably related to furnishing
electric service solely to an applicant's project; (b) the need for a line extension and project type
in that only projects requiring line extensions will be subject to the rule; and (c) the Rule No. 15
obligation and line extension facility costs in that the obligation and facility costs will be
identical; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Council has considered the evidence and concurs
with the findings of the Public Utilities Board as set forth herein above.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Anaheim City Council as
follows:
1. The findings set forth herein are hereby adopted by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim.
2. The Anaheim City Council hereby determines that, in accordance with
CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the modifications to the Rules as set forth in Attachment
A are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(3), 15061(b)(3), 15378(b)(2),
15378(b)(4), and 15378(b)(5) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, because it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that these rules will have a significant effect on the
environment as these rules primarily recover costs; involve language clarification and rule
consolidation and streamlining; and are administrative in nature.

C. MOTOR PROTECTION AND EQUIPMENT
Customer's motor equipment must conform with the following requirements.
Page No. 3.2.5
1. Motors that cannot be subjected safely to full rated voltage on starting, or that drive machinery of
such a nature that the machinery itself, or the product it handles will not permit the motor to
resume normal speed upon the restoration of normal supply voltage shall be equipped with devices
that will disconnect them from the line upon failure of supply voltage and that will prevent the
automatic reconnection of the motors upon restoration of normal supply voltage.
2. All motors of I hp or larger shall be equipped with thermal relays, fuses, or other automatic
overcurrent interrupting devices to disconnect completely such motors from the line as a
protection against damage due to overheating.
3. Three-phase motors driving elevators, hoists, tramways, cranes, conveyers or other equipment,
which would create hazard to life in the event of uncontrolled reversal of motor rotation, shall be
provided with reverse -phase and open -phase protection to disconnect completely the motors from
the line in the event of phase reversal or loss of one phase.
4. Wind machines thermostatically controlled with automatic reclosing switches must be equipped
with suitable time -delay devices, such as hereinafter specified, at the customer's expense, to permit
the required adjustment of the time of reclosure after interruption of service.
A suitable time -delay device, within the meaning of this rule, is a relay or other type of equipment
that can be present to delay with various time intervals the reclosing of the automatic switches
(and the consequent starting up of the electric motors on the wind machines) and to stagger the
reconnection of the load on the Utility's system, and such device must be constructed so as
effectively to permit a variable overall time interval of not less than five minutes with adjustable
time increments of not greater than ten seconds. The particular setting to be utilized for each
separate installation is to be determined by the Utility from time to time in accordance with its
operating requirements, and the customer is to obtain from the Utility the setting for each
installation as thus determined.
