93-185 RESOLUTION NO. 93R- 185
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF kNAHEIM
AMENDING RATES, RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE SALE AND
DISTRIBUTION OF WATER AS ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 72R-600 AiYD
MOST RECENTLY AMENDED BY RESOLUTION NO. 93R-45.
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim maintains a water distribution
system for the furnishing of water to residents and inhabitants of
the City of Anaheim and has adopted Water Rates, Rules and
Regulations for the sale and distribution of water; and
WHEREAS, A Notice of Hearing was published as follows:
On July 26, 1993, notice of the public hearing on water rates
was published in the Orange County Register and proof thereof
is on file with the Secretary of the Public Utilities Board.
WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Board held a public hearing on
August 5, 1993 and evidence was presented in connection with the
proposed revisions of Water Rates, Rules and Regulations; and
WHEREAS, The Public Utilities Board has considered the
proposal of the Public Utilities Department and has considered the
evidence presented at the public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Board has made the following
findings with respect to the need for changes to the Water Rates,
Rules and Regulations:
1. The Water Utility has water services with compound
meters.
2. In determining customer schedule assignments for compound
meters, it is appropriate to give consideration to
changed circumstances with service requirements and
industry practices.
3. Allowing the private fireline portion of the compound
meter to take service under the Private Fireline schedule
is a more equitable treatment than the current practice.
4. In allowing customers to take water service on a
temporary basis, it is reasonable to require that such
service be metered to better control the consumption of
water and reduce system losses. Therefore, it is
reasonable to eliminate unmetered temporary service
connections and spacer connections.
5. On the basis of the preceding findings, the applicability
and rate and rule changes proposed for Schedules W-PFL,
W-T, and Rule 13 are reasonable and appropriate.
6. It is appropriate to decrease the Water Utility revenue
from sales budget for fiscal year 1993/94 by $183,000.
7. It is appropriate to decrease the Water Utility debt
service budget for fiscal year 1993/94 by $65,000.
8. It is appropriate to decrease other miscellaneous
operating costs in fiscal year 1993/94 by $118,000.
WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Board considered the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and made the following findings:
1. The establishment of these rates as set forth above will
ensure adequate revenues necessary to meet water supply
costs, operation and maintenance expenses, capital
expenditures, debt service requirements, reserve amounts,
intracity transfers, and other necessary operating and
maintenance expenses.
2. The matters covered above come within Section 21080
(b) (8) of the Public Resources Code of the State of
California. Section 21080 (b) (8) states that CEQA does
not apply to the establishment, modification,
structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls,
fares, or other charges which the public agency finds are
for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, materials,
meeting financial reserves, obtaining funds for capital
projects necessary to maintain service within existing
service areas, or obtaining funds necessary to maintain
those intracity transfers as are authorized by city
charter. Thus, the establishment of these rates is
exempt from CEQA.
WHEREAS, based on the findings hereinabove made, the Public
Utilities Board of the City of Anaheim recommended to the City
Council that the Council adopt the findings of the Public Utilities
Board with respect to the matters contained herein and adopt the
changes to the Water Rates, Rules and Regulations as shown in
Appendix B; and
WHEREAS, based on the findings hereinabove made, the Public
Utilities Board of the City of Anaheim recommended to the City
Council that the Council, by Motion, certify that the adoption of
the Water Rates, Rules and Regulations is statutorily exempt under
CEQA, Public Resource Code, Section 21080 (b) (8), in accordance
with Title 14 of the Code of California Regulations, Section 15273
(a), and authorize the City Manager to execute, and the City Clerk
to file, a Notice of Exemption for same with the Orange County
Clerk; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the evidence and
concurs with the findings of the Public Utilities Board as set
forth hereinabove.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that:
1. The findings of the Public Utilities Board as set forth
herein are hereby adopted by the City Council of the City
of Anaheim.
2. The changes to the Water Rates, Rules and Regulations as
shown in Appendix B are hereby adopted by the City
Council of the City of Anaheim and will become effective
September 17, 1993.
3. The Public Utilities General Manager is hereby authorized
and directed to prepare, promulgate, publish, and
implement changes to the Water Rates, Rules and
Regulations as set forth herein.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the City
Council of the City of Anaheim on this 14th day of September
1993.
