WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim ("Anaheim"), through its Public Utilities Department ("APU"), owns and operates 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 governing the terms and conditions under which APU sells and distributes such electricity; and WHEREAS, APU is a publicly owned utility that continuously seeks opportunities to minimize administrative and fiscal burdens while remaining in a position to maintain service reliability and high industry standards; and WHEREAS, in support of the foregoing, APU staff developed and recommends modifications to Rule Nos. 16 and 22 (together, "Rule Modifications") of the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations; and WHEREAS, it is reasonable and appropriate to modify Rule No. 16 of the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations, as set forth in Attachment A, to allow design flexibility for electric service connections and metering in consideration of project -specific variables and site limitations; and WHEREAS, it is reasonable and appropriate to modify Rule No. 22 of the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations, as set forth in Attachment B, to clarify the applicability of interconnection requirements to generation facilities and standards necessary to preserve the utility infrastructure and prioritize safety; and WHEREAS, at its meeting of February 25, 2026, the Public Utilities Board reviewed the proposed Rule Modifications, which are on file with the Office of the City Clerk, and recommended that the City Council adopt the Rule Modifications and determine that the action is not subject to CEQA; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the Public Utilities Board's recommendations, the staff report, and all accompanying evidence and desires to adopt the Rule Modifications and make the environmental determinations set forth in this Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council as follows: 1.

Code Regs., tit. 14, ch. 3), sections 15060(c)(2) -(3) and 15378, in that it is a regulatory/administrative action establishing standards and terms that do not approve, commit Anaheim to, or result in any physical changes to the environment, and that, to the extent any of the actions could be considered a "project," it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) and 15301-15304. 2. The City Council hereby adopts the proposed Rule Modifications (Nos. 16 and 22) of the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations in the form attached hereto as Attachments A and B, which are incorporated herein by this reference. 3. The Rule Modifications adopted herein shall become effective April 3, 2026. 4.
