Utilities Board.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that:
1. The City Council of the City of Anaheim hereby makes the
following findings with respect to the need for changes to
the Electric Rates, Rules and Regulations:
a. The Electric System revenue requirement of the Anaheim
Public Utilities Department was established, as set
forth below, on the basis of projections for the 1991-
92 fiscal year consisting of the twelve months July 1,
1991 through June 30, 1992.
b. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement for
power supply for the test period is $149,767,000
including the cost of surplus power.
c. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement for
other operating expenses for the test period is
$25,293,000.
d. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement for
capital expenditures funded from rates for the test
period is $22,821,000.
e. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement for
current debt service and principal and reserve
increases for the test period is $30,364,000.
f. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement for
transfer to the General Fund for the test period is
$8,734,000.
g. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement for an
increase in working capital for the test period is
$791,000.
h. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirement
offsets due to other electric revenues and interest
income for the test period is $33,126,000.
i. The estimated service life of SONGS is thirty years and
the estimated retirement date is October 18, 2013.
j. The decommissioning cost estimate for SONGS is
$639,700,000 (1988 dollars) of which the city of
Anaheim's share is 3.16%.
k. A reasonable estimate of the revenue requirements for
decommissioning costs for the test period is
$1,574,000.
1. It is appropriate to include decommissioning costs in
the utility rates charged to all customers.
m. An estimated revenue requirement of $204,644,000 as set
forth below, is appropriate for the test period:
REVENUE REQUIREMENT
ITEM CASH-FLOW BASIS
Power Supply Costs $149,767,000
Other Operating Expenses 25,293,000
Capital Expenditures Funded from Rates 22,821,000
Debt Service & Reserve Increase 30,364,000
Transfer to General Fund 8,734,000
Change in Working Capital 791,000
Less: Other Electric Revenue
and Interest Income (33,126,000)
Total Revenue Requirement $204,644,000
n. It is appropriate to perform a cost-of-service study in
order to determine the allocated revenue requirement
for the test period for the following customer classes:
Residential, Small Commercial, Large Commercial,
Industrial, Agricultural and Pumping, Street Lights and
Municipal.
o. The estimated total allocated annualized revenue
requirement is $208,162,000. The Customer Class
revenue requirements, on a Utility basis, as determined
by a cost-of-service analysis and set forth below, is
appropriate for the test period:
ALLOCATED ANNUALIZED
REVENUE REQUIREMENT
CUSTOMER CLASS COST-OF-SERVICE BASIS
Residential $ 48,615 000
Small Commercial 12,839 000
Large Commercial 50,985 000
Industrial 88,720 000
Agricultural and Pumping 1,839 000
Street Lights 149 000
Municipal 5.015 000
Total $208,162,000
p. Section 1221 of the City Charter provides that utility
rates charged to a class of consumers shall be uniform
within the class and shall be based on cost of service
revenue requirement for the class. Section 1221 also
provides that lifeline rates may be established which
would not necessarily be based on cost of service.
q. It is appropriate to phase in rate changes to bring class
revenues to their cost-of-service levels when one time
changes would be burdensome to a particular customer
class. The Department intends to bring rates in line with
cost of service.
r. The California Public Utilities Commission has established
baseline rates for Southern California Edison Company
~''~' (Edison) and Edison is the retail supplier of electric
service in all the communities surrounding Anaheim, and
therefore, it is appropriate to establish residential
lifeline rates for Anaheim.
s. To the extent that the Anaheim lifeline rates produce
lower revenues than would be produced by rates based on
cost of service, the rates charged for nonlifeline sales
must be increased above the level of rates based on cost
of service. The difference between the revenues from
sales made at the lifeline rates and revenues from those
sales made at cost-of-service rates is the lifeline
~ shortfall.
t. In allocating the lifeline shortfall to the nonlifeline
customers, it is appropriate to give consideration to both
cost of service and the retail rates of Edison.
u. On the basis of the preceding findings, the annual class
revenues under the proposed rates as shown above are
reasonable and appropriate:
REVENUES
AT PROPOSED
RATES AS A % OF
REVENUES AT REVENUES BASED ON
CUSTOMER CLASS PROPOSED RATES COST OF SERVICE
Residential
Lifeline 22,119,000 73.6
Nonlifeline 26.638.000 143.4
Total Residential 48,757,000 100.3
Small Commercial 11,989,000 93.4
Large Commercial 51,267,000 100.6
Industrial 88,767,000 100.0
Agricultural & Pumping 1,923,000 104.6
Street Lights 210,000 140.9
Municipal 5,249,000 104.7
208,162,000 100.0
v. It is appropriate that the Rate Stabilization Account
(RSA) be used as a means of providing more stable retail
electric rates for the customers of the City's Electric
Utility. It is appropriate to temporarily stop the rate
stabilization program when there are no funds remaining in
the RSA. Likewise, it is appropriate to resume the
program when refunds are received from Edison. The
Stabilization Rate may still remain in effect despite the
'~'~ temporary discontinuance of the program.
w. It is appropriate that the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA)
mechanism be kept as an emergency procedure to hedge
against sudden and unforeseen changes in power supply
costs. Generally, power supply costs will be recovered
through application of the base rate. In the event that
substantial changes in projected power supply costs occur,
either as an increase or decrease, the Power Cost
Adjustment Billing Factor will be activated to ensure that
the Department charges appropriately for electric service.
When activated, the Billing Factor will remain in effect
~ until the next base rate change or until a revision to the
Billing Factor is necessary. At the time of a base rate
change, the power supply costs recovered through the
Billing Factor will be included in base rates and the
Billing Factor will be deactivated and returned to zero.
Continuation of this mechanism would enable the Department
to take rapid rate action in order to protect its
financial stability.
x. It is appropriate to decrease the Electric Utility power
supply budget for 1991/92 from $154,320,713 to
$149,767,000.
y. It is appropriate to decrease the Electric Utility revenue
from sales budget for 1991/92 from $213,733,860 to
$204,644,000.
z. It is appropriate to increase the Electric Utility Rate
Stabilization Adjustment budget for 1991/92 from
$7,265,000 to $11,488,000.
aa. It is appropriate to increase the Electric Utility General
Fund Transfer for 1991/92 from $8,572,000 to $8,734,000.
bb. Reasonable estimates for engineering and service fees and
charges are contained in the proposed Electric Rates,
Rules and Regulations.
2. The changes and additions to the Electric Rates, Rules and
Regulations as shown in Appendix A are hereby adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the City
Council of the City of Anaheim on this 17~h day of December ,
1991.

CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
Appendix "A"
cr~ OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORN~
,. Public Utilities Depa~ment
DATE: November 14, 1991
TO: Public Utilities Board
FROM: Public Utilities General Manager
SUBJECT: Electric Utility Rate Action
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Utilities Board (PUB) recommend to the City Council
a rate action proposed to be effective January 1, 1992 supporting
the Electric Utility's programs and projects for Fiscal Year (FY)
91/92 and the first half of FY 92/93.
DISCUSSION
On October 1, 1991, the City Council denied the Utility
Department's request for a 4.5% increase in electric rates. This
rate increase was necessary to support the Electric Utility's FY
91/92 budget as adopted on June 18, 1991 and September 10, 1991.
After the city Council's action, Department staff delayed and/or
deferred Electric Utility program expenditures planned for
FY 91/92. These delays totaled approximately $7.0 million and
brought spending in line with projected revenues until alternative
actions could be prepared.
Department staff has prepared, and is submitting for PUB
consideration and review, three electric rate scenarios. The
following table summarizes these rate scenarios:
Forecast
1992 1993 1994
Base Case 0.0% 16.0% 9.0%
(Current situation)
Original Rate Proposal 4.5% 9.0% 6.0%
Revised Rate Proposal 3.5% 9.0% 7.0%
Rate increases effective January 1
These rate scenarios are based on the following assumptions:
1. The Electric Utility will rely more heavily on the Rate
Stabilization Account (RSA) to offset operating costs. Staff

reviewed the amount of RSA funds to be used as previously proposed
to the City Council in October and now proposes the accelerated use
of RSA funds. The forecast for using the RSA funds assumes the
receipt of additional settlements from SCE within the next twelve
months. There is currently approximately $17.5 million available
in the RSA. A comparison of the October proposal and the revised
proposal is as follows:
($'s in millions)
Octobe~ Proposed
FY 91/92 8.0 11.5
Forecast FY 92/93 13.2 13.2
Forecast FY 93/94 13.6 19.4
2. The Department is preparing to downsize the organization.
The implementation of the second phase of the Management Audit and
additional management efficiency studies are projected to produce
annual savings to the Department of about $1.6 million. Included
are the elimination of.approximately 15 positions, of which 10 are
expected to be full-time positions. Approximately 75 percent of
these savings are expected to be within the Electric Utility
($1.2 million). These savings will begin to be realized during the
1992 calendar year and should be fully implemented within 18
months. This is in addition to the audit savings of $1 million and
the elimination of 5 management positions which have already been
incorporated into the budget.
3. Some of the programs delayed and/or deferred are resumed
on January 1, 1992. The Department has several key capital
projects totaling about $5.0 million that must begin. These
projects support~ growth in East Anaheim, the I-5 widening, and
system reliability.
Also resuming on January 1,1992 are demand side management programs
which were delayed. These programs will help customers reduce
their electric consumption while reducing the Electric Utility's
long-term power supply costs.
4. The Department forecasts that the economic slowdown
affecting the Southland area will continue through early 1992,
slowing commercial and residential development. The timing for
projects related to this development has shifted out, reducing near
term capital expenditures but possibly exacerbating future capital
needs if the economy strongly rebounds.
5. Under the original rate proposal and the revised rate
proposal the Underground Conversion Program would be funded an
additional .5% in FY 91/92, to a total of 1% of overall rates. The
base case scenario has no additional funding in FY 91/92 for
Public Utilities Board

undergrounding. All three scenarios contain a 1% increase in rates
in the forecast for 1993 and 1994 for undergrounding.
6. The Department does not expect to request further rate
action until January 1993. All subsequent rate actions will be on
a calendar year basis. Future rate changes will also correspond to
SCE's annual rate adjustments making it easier to compare Anaheim's
rates to SCE's on an annual basis.
A brief discussion of each of the three rate scenarios follows.
BASE CASE:
Forecast
~' 1992 1993 1994
0.0% 16.0% 9.0%
The base case consists of no rate increase in FY 91/92.
Although there would be no rate increase in FY 91/92, this scenario
forecasts a double-digit increase in 1993. The large increase
forecast in 1993 is followed by an increase in 1994 that is greater
than that projected in either the original rate proposal or the
revised rate proposal. These projected increases in the second and
third years are undesirable but necessary to keep debt service
coverage at acceptable levels and to fund capital projects.
Debt service coverage is lowest under this scenario due to the
extended delay in rate action. Additionally, the reluctance to
raise rates over an extended period of time could be negatively
perceived by the rating agencies which could result in lower credit
ratings. Lower credit ratings would increase the electric
Utility's cost of borrowing.
The additional planned .5% increase in rates to fund the
Underground Conversion Program is not implemented in this scenario.
Funding would not be provided to meet either the existing
undergrounding plan, or the revised plan which will be submitted to
the PUB in coming weeks.
Finally, the base case will result in considerable rat~ shock due
to the double-digit increase forecast in 1993.
~' ORIGINAL R~TE PROPOSAL:
Forecast
1992 1993 1994
4.5% 9.0% 6.0%
The original rate proposal consisted of a 4.5% increase in electric
rates effective September 1, 1991.
Public Utilities Board
November 14, 1991
Page 4 of 5
This scenario provides a stable pattern of rate increases in all
years. Debt service coverage is better under this scenario
compared to both the base case and the revised rate proposal.
Maintaining existing credit ratings is also best supported under
this scenario.
The original rate proposal also maintains the Department's
competitive position with SCE as the projected future annual
increases for the Electric Utility are comparable or better than
those projected for SCE.
This scenario contains the lowest projected rate increase in 1994
and provides the most flexibility to deal with the projected
increase in 1993 than either of the other scenarios.
REVISED RATE PROPOSAL:
Forecast
1992 1993 1994
3.5% 9.0% 7.0%
The revised rate proposal consists of a 3.5% increase in electric
rates effective January 1, 1992. The original rate increase
proposed by the Department was 4.5% effective September 1, 1991.
The revised rate proposal forecasts relatively stable rate
increases in 1993 and 1994 while maintaining reasonable debt
service coverage ratios. This scenario recognizes that current
economic conditions warrant keeping today's rate increases as low
as possible while still providing sufficient revenues to support
operations.
The revised rate proposal also maintains the Department's
competitive rate relationship with SCE as none of the annual
increases for the Electric Utility are excessively above those
projected for SCE.
This scenario does forecast a larger rate increase in 1994 than
would be required under the original rate proposal (7.0% vs 6.0%).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Department recommends adoption of the revised rate proposal.
Rat~ relief is needed in FY 91/92 to cover increased costs for
power supply, debt service and financial reserves. The
Department's staff believes that with the planned downsizing, the
proposed 3.5% rate proposal is livable.
The revised rate proposal will fund capital projects necessary for
system reliability and growth while at the same time increasing the
funding for the Underground Conversion Program. Additionally, this
Public Utilities Board
November 14, 1991
Page 5 of 5
scenario avoids rate shock by avoiding the need for double-digit
rate increases over the next 3 years. This scenario also maintains
adequate debt service coverage, protecting the Electric Utility's
credit ratings.
Rate increases by class have been prepared at this time and are
presented in the following table.
Class % Increase
Residential 2.8%
Small Commercial 5.0%
Large Commercial 3.3%
Industrial 3.8%
Ag/Pumping 3.5%
Street Lights 0.0%
Municipal 3.5~
System 3.5%
In addition to recommending the revised rate proposal, the
Department is also reco~mending that the Electric rule and fee
changes proposed in the original rate proposal be adopted. These
rule and fee changes are provided for Board consideration.
IMPACT ON THE RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN
Revenues sufficient to fund the approved FY 91/92 RAP have not been
adopted. Under any of the scenarios presented, it will be
necessary to amend the FY 91/92 RAP to reflect a lower level of
funding.
